just because someone ruins your speech by being loud and disrespectful doesn't mean your rights were violated.
-
Note that both me and
@HPluckrose were careful to use the word'principles', as opposed to 'rights'. -
I don't really know what you mean by that. Principles aren't protected by the constitution, rights are.
-
The constitution is an American legal thing. The principle of free speech is a liberal concept.
-
BTW, are y'all not American? Why even concern yourself if you aren't.
-
No, I'm English. Christian is Irish. Why would our concern for liberalism be limited to our own countries?
-
I don't try and educate you about British government.
-
I have not once mentioned your government. I am talking abt the principle of free speech.
