Freedom of speech
I've just recently finished watching a really interesting debate about Muslims and freedom of speech on "Dispatches" on Channel 4. I am passionately in favour of freedom of speech and believe that we should even have the right to offend others. I would far rather that someone offended me than felt that they could not express their true feelings in front of me for fear of offending me.I must admit, however, that I am notorious at taking my right to freedom of speech what some people may believe is too far. For example, a while ago I was thinking out loud and I called a group of people "random losers" for turning me away when I was on a kitchen tour around my halls.
We live in a democracy and throughout history many people have died for our right to freedom of speech. I believe that we should do everything we can to preserve this right and not let the fear of offending the minority restrict our expression.
