I dont disagree but then fanatics will be fanatics hell just look at some anti-abortionists blowing up clinics and killing doctors etc, I recall the catholic threats and outcry over Madonna's music and the movie "passion of Christ" and at one point I was advised to leave a town in Missouri because I pointed out I had no intention of going to church.

What it boils down to is that it is stupid to go around antagonising people just because you have a right to do so especially when those people dont take a joke so well.

Hehe some of that is funny but sadly a lot of it is situational and on the whole it is a fairly heavy generalisation.

Finally I have no problem with a peaceful protest...However not one where you chain yourself to a fence and cause a disturbance...And not when you are being disrespectful of a funeral and saying how that soldier should go to hell for fighting for his country...

Yes limitations to freedom of speech exist for good reason....ie you cant run around screaming fire...That would cuase physical injury...
But this is just my point where you draw the line on free speech happens to be on your side of the argument when in reality free speech etc. says that I have the right to say what I like no matter how distasteful to you. So if you are serious about it then you have to accept peoples right to be disrespectful at funerals etc, you dont have to like it and you would hope people had enough class not to do it but you have to accept their right to protest.
