Where does it end? Does it end?
Do we have the ability to say whatever we want or should there be limits on what we can say?
This can extend to television/radio and should they be forced/allowed to censor things?

You can say whatever you want... unless you're in this building.... unless you're doing this... unless you're on tv.. It doesn't end. You only have freedom of speech when you aren't on TV, aka...where it doesn't matter.

I believe freedom of speech becomes limited when there is a death threat. Other than that, I'd say have at it. If you use the other f word, am I going to bitch and moan? Of course I am, that's my freedom of speech. Do you have the right to use that word? Possibly, I'm not going to say no here, because this gets iffy and into the situation of do you have the right to offend people. Regarding tv and radio, I believe they should be able to say or **** whenever they want. If the parents want to complain, don't watch that show, don't have your kids watch that show. TV is not a parent or a baby sitter, know what your kids watch and adjust accordingly. I don't believe the FCC has the right to bleep and blur anything.

Well, someone owns the cables that carry TV And the public owns the airwaves so there is some logic behind regulating what is broadcast. If I'm paying for stamps, then I can dictate what kind of letters you can mail right? Look at satellite radio. It's not on public airwaves so people can and do say whatever they want.

It's not our national language. We aren't like some countries that if you don't speak their language you go to jail.

I'm all for it 100%, even if it's horribly derogatory they should be allowed say what ever it is they want without being punished for it.

All the stuff with the FCC always gets me mad. If the parents doing want their kids to watch something for whatever reason, it's their responsibility not to let them see it. The TV and radio stations shouldn't be doing the job the parents won't.

If you were in, just as an example, France with a friend from America, would you speak to them in French everywhere you went? And if someone flipped out on you for not speaking French, would you just say "okay" and move on. I doubt that.

If you do say anything, it's pretty obvious nothing good will come out of it, so why bother? You're only starting trouble. They won't start speaking in English because you said something, especially if it's in a condescending/rude manner. Just because someone is in this country doesn't mean we should strip them of their language. They probably communicate better and more comfortably in their own language anyway.
