Freedom of Speech

[JornHendrikx]

As Freedom of speech is the most valuable thing of mankind: I would like to find out where the freedom of this right stops.

How far a person can go in talking freedom!

Give me some freedom of speech quotes and let's talk!

Houserules?

This is from the TF terms and conditions. Doesn't this seem clear?

"Thailandfriends.com does not allow any illegal activities. You cannot use the Thailandfriends.com Services to publish, post, distribute, or disseminate defamatory, infringing, obscene, or other unlawful material or information."

"You are responsible and liable for all your activities while participating in Thailandfriends.com and associated Internet Services. Remember, you are responsible for anything you say, publish or post."

So saying nothing is against the TF policy

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
Benjamin Franklin

"I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it."

You asked for quotes, you shall receive quotes to live by.




Recent study showed that 48% of Singaporeans think that it is essential for the press to be controlled in the sake of stability...(I guess Chinese were not asked for some odd reason)

The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen. ~Tommy Smothers

These ones are hilarious when one for example thinks Thailand's active censorship:


Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime. ~Potter Stewart

Did you ever hear anyone say, "That work had better be banned because I might read it and it might be very damaging to me?" ~Joseph Henry Jackson


The test of democracy is freedom of criticism. ~David Ben-Gurion


And this kind of quote might "hit home" in the land of the free (It also sounds very true when you think about nations with very strong censorship machines...how afraid they are of their own people...especially when they have come to power somewhere in time thru a people movement, this makes even more sense)...

Btw, beware of those spy dragonflies that are snooping on your anti-war demonstrations!
Washington Post

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. ~John F. Kennedy
