Head-To-Head: Should there be limits on freedom of speech?
Content: There is no rationale behind this but hate. Here, lack of regulation hinders rational conversation and instead breeds more hate. Indeed, in some circumstances free speech must be limited. Intolerance should not be tolerated. Free speech as a human right should not be a guarantee if it undermines the human rights of another. [ br] REBUTTAL (Against) – Ross Walsh DESPITE what those on the right and alt-right seem to believe, free speech does not equal speech free from consequences. When you utilise your right to freedom of speech you implicitly agree that the results of that speech are your responsibility, whether they are positive or negative, and you should be held accountable for them. However, if you truly believe something to be true you should have a right to express that opinion, and allow it to be proven or disproven in the arena of public discourse. Will the ignorant always change their minds when challenged? Probably not.
