Yes Scott-Ryan...I do believe I should be able to say whatever the fuck I want. This is a wider debate. If you take countries such as Iran or Russia where you are not allowed to express a certain opinion or China where certain topics are shut down...then yes, free speech to say whatever the fuck you want should be allowed and you shouldn't be threatened with violence for saying whatever the fuck you want.

Being anti-religious in Iran is considered hate speech. If you claim to dislike how the state religion hampers your human rights...that's hate speech.

So yes. Free speech should be allowed no matter how hateful it sounds. That's how a democracy should work.
