Why Free Speech Is Society's Immune System | Orrin Johnson | TEDxUniversityofNevada

[azharsofjan]

As I was watching this, I had a feeling he was an attorney. Turns out I was right! haha

His public speaking skills are phenomenal. The idea of Free Speech is already valuable on it's own, but without great presenters like Mr. Orrin Johnson to talk about them, we may never truly feel the intense magnitude of how important our values are.

Well done sir!

Excellent speech on Free Speech, 'The term " Hate speech is not Free Speech, implies FREE is a type of speech, rather than how speech is treated in a free society".

Right on and much love to all the brave men and women who died for our freedom of speech amongst all of our other wonderful freedoms on battlefields all over the globe. And a big shout out to our first responders who lay it all on the line day in day out so that Americans may enjoy those rights without fear of having to do it themselves. Our military and first responders should come first when we go into those voting booths during election time NOT the rich partisan politicians who are last to defend your freedom and never respond to your emergency first nor ever . God Bless you All and Much Love Let's make these Americans Be Great Again By God!

Fantastic! (How ironic that this has received so few comments and likes.)

As a German, I suppose he is right about what he says about Germany.

If we only had such a person in the Middle East

What if those torch men who marching on the streets are your parents, friends, and teachers? What if the hate speech inundated in your life since childhood and instilled by your family? What if you are one of the ethnic minorities who suffered from the pain caused by insulting? While we can do something to stifle the hate speech inciting hatred, wouldn't we feel ashamed of witnessing the pain remorselessly like a snob?

The first amendment definitely wasn't for everyone. If it was, why didn't the slaves have it?
