# Well I believe in freedom of speech as a universal commodity for all
but the point is some people don't.

# I think the reason why this is such a tricky subject
is that I don't think freedom of speech IS a universal right.

For example, carried to its conclusion, I don't think anyone would agree with a banner being marched under which read "Kill All N*****s"

The problem is being able to find the balance between what is someone's right to express and what is wrong, usually involving the word "offence" which is a very woolly word, I think.

# Words can never kill only actions based on words
so in some respect if you dissect words from actions you can express Freedom of Speech as a Universal commodity - However we all know actions and words are not so easily seperated and Dialectics is often diverted from the pursuit of the truth to the perversion of the truth via propaganda.
