You should also have the rights to keep your sources confidentially and make fair use of intellectual property. Besides that, they helped to fight for the rights to allow reader's comments without fear. You need not to afraid that you will against the law because it is your freedom to comment.

  1. I 100% agree that people should have freedom of speech!!!! This is also what we can't do in this country. Why??? Freedom of speech is a good rule and 'they' only can know the truth through this. But they just don't understand. Just Pray for you and me.

  4. Yes i agree that people should have freedom of speech as to say what they want or feel like. Everyone should not be restricted to what they want to say, should say or can't say. They should be be able to voice out their own opinions. If they don't have freedom of speech, it will be like forcing them to say and do something that they are not willing to. It is very false and as like being a hypocrite to say something that is not true to please people. We should have freedom of speech. cheers. =)
