Freedom of Expression

The price of freedom of religion, or of speech, or of the press, is that we must put up with a good deal of rubbish.
- Robert Jackman

So true. Think about anti-India communities on Orkut. Freedom of expression?

It's a tricky topic to discuss, and here's my take.

Freedom of speech and expression is incredibly vital and important for a healthy society. Though, this freedm only has healthy reflections on society when it is used with good judgment and rational thought. Of course, what the basis of rational thought is, is a whole different argument altogether.

But I do think that as long as this 'free' expression is not offensive, or vulgar to the point of being offensive, and pays respect to the free will and opinion of others, it is healthy and regular.

But, as each person has a unique point of view, there will always, and forever exist 'relative' violations of this freedom. It's only human.
