What about if we teach kids (and adults) that words can't hurt them and that listening to every asshole they meet is a waste of life and time. Instead of trying to control the actions of other @daniele (which is essentially what the argument of "some speech is harmful to me") lets teach ourselves that our reactions to whatever has been said gives the words power. Same goes with powerful speeches that moved events in history. The speech itself might have inspired, motivated or enraged the masses, but it didnt kill anyone. People did. Its the same argument as guns - they dont kill people. People kill people. Because they choose to act. I can tell you every bad word in existence and you will not be harmed. You can choose to ignore me, go away, you can punch me in the face if I come to close or I'm harrassing your kids or wife in public. But I can say the most vile thing under the sun. I dont nees to be listened to. I don't need to be accepted to bars or restaurants if i spit out garbage and annoy people. I dont need to be given attention, audience or anything else, I cant demand anything of anyone else. But I can say whatever the fuck I want.
