I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
You been reading Liberal jurisprudence or something? That statement could have been made by pretty much any of my teachers last year!!! I agree with it, I hasten to add.
I think the constitutional guarantee of free speech in the US is the way to go. If somebody can´t deal with a few words without resorting to violence then they are, frankly, primitive and really need to consider there outlook on life.
One reason for protecting free speech is very simple. Just about everything you say will manage to offend somebody. Just about everything Ed Milliband and his party says offends me, likewise Nick Griffin and numerous other public figures. This does not give me some god given right to burst into the poor man's house and behead him in front of his children. Nor does it give me the right to gang up on him and demand his voice is not heard. That is not how an open society works.
Freedom of speech is a fundamental tenant of an open and free society. It also serves as a very important check on power and should be protected at great cost.

yep...really...the response from the islamic community should have been a cartoon in one of their own publications with something like a depiction of the virgin marry in a gangbang with a quote "who's the daddy"...that would have been a. peaceful and b. comical.
i remember years and years ago in Sydney there was long comical fued between 2 churches which were on the same street. I cant remember exactly, but lets say one was catholic and the other protestant. On a weekly basis they would alternate and have messages on their big boards outside the church. It started with a few serious shot at each others beliefs, but after a short period it became almost a joke board and people would actually look forward to reading what was on the board and the response the following week. It went on for years before they stopped.
