Arguments Against My Position: Free speech should have its limitations and censorship as it could offend or hurt someones feelings. Free speech if not used appropriately can cause a lot of problems in society and over the internet.

Argument 1: Freedom of speech needs to be limited and toned down as it could create problems over the internet or legally. While some might say freedom of speech to do things like protest is a positive thing the counter argument is that people having that right to speak their mind shouldn't be allowed. "So the idea that its free expression is prima facie a good thing should be rejected."(Leiter 408)

Argument 2: Free speech is dividing an already divided nation and acutally killing our nation. "Nothing. Or at least that’s the answer one often hears from liberals and conservatives alike. Some speech might be bad, this line of thinking goes, but censorship is always worse. The First Amendment is first for a reason." (Marantz). While conservatives are fighting to keep free speech without alteration democrats are open to an alteration of the first amendment while both believe they should remain.
