Why would I be at all surprised that Nausi doesn't understand clauses relating to the "freedom of speech."

Go to North Korea if you like it so much.

I love the smell of facile arguments in the afternoon.

Dictatorships are generally not socialist states regardless of the propaganda they feed their abused citizens.
They don't start off with a dictator, but give them about 10-20 years.

Problem being with your theory is that the nationalists in this country are the people who hate communism and socialism. They're the ones that want people to die in the streets, as long as they do it out of sight and away from their well-manicured lawns or penthouse apartments with American flies flying patriotically.

We already did, basically. The 90s boomed, the 00s crashed...

So what we should be looking for is a world war any time now, apparently.

Hmm. Globalized military actions you say?

While the ingredients for disaster are surely there, I'd expect it to start (if it starts at all) in the ("former") Soviet sphere of influence, given their fear of not having a buffer zone between their "do whatever we want sovereignty" and the big bad NATO countries.

Yes it does, they carry around signs spouting "***" all over them. People have tried to shut them down and fail because their speech is protected.

I could call you any number of things, you could not have me arrested for them.
Go back, re-read what you quoted, specifically the distinction between personal and public.

"***" certainly isn't a threat, nor is it a "fighting word". No one's been arrested for calling someone else that, ever. Can you provide example?

Personally, I like the George Carlin/Louis C.K. take on the word "***" myself. And all the other "bad words", for that matter.

Calling someone any form of "gay" as an insult is just idiotic in and of itself. Of all the terrible things to call someone, accusing them of being intimate with another human being is somewhere around #100,000 on the list.

But hey, we're the same country that censors sex scenes, but not graphic violence.

They're been trying to do it for over 2,000 years.

Deal with it.

I'm not going to instruct you when it's ok and when it's not.

I encourage you to explore a "trial and error" method.

Repeated attempts will likely qualify as "repeated acts of annoyance" and result in harassment charges as per most state harassment statutes.
