I have got this from a friend and asking for wider opinion. Why do we need to pay the phone bills when constitution guarantees Free speech. We may be charged for overseas, but not internally. A relevant quota may be applied beyond which Internal calls should also be charged, but basic system should be free.

In other words, lets say I printed a news article calling you a Nazi and saying that your views were comparable to Nazi policies. Isn’t that considered libel and defamatory?

So then, why is it considered free speech to do the same thing to political figures?

With a blog, it’s easy to stay in contact with people who are (or might become) customers; it’s also great for expressing your personal or business vision to the world. It’s often repeated how important it is for online marketers to blog, but how exactly do you create a successful blog? There are actually quite a few ways to build up your blog and gain a wider readership. How do you decide what to do with so many possible actions to take? First of all, you don’t have to choose one single method and rule out the others; you can do several at once. Here are some hints to help you out.

Interact with your blogging community. One of the most important things that people notice is if the blog’s creator is participating. Why would someone leave a comment on your site if they stand no chance of hearing from you? Taking the time to answer the most important questions can be very beneficial for you and your image so it is always a good idea to interact with your members. Regular participation will show even the quickest passer-by that you are involved in your site and that you care about the people who take the time to contribute.

Communicate with them other than through the blog. You can set this up to be an automatic reply with a simple “thanks for commenting” message. A better option, however, is to send a quick and personal note to your commenters. Personalizing a message is far simpler than you may think; all you have to do is include the person’s name and briefly discuss something that they might have mentioned in their previous comment. People will appreciate that you value them enough to take the time to respond to them individually. This is only one of the simple methods that will make visitors loyal to your blog.

People should not be afraid to make comments on your site that people will disagree with. This won’t be a major problem when you first launch your blog but you must keep it in mind later. Although, it will soon seem like disallowing the ability to comment on your blog or to approve ones that you think are appropriate and reject the others is your only solution to stop them. Allowing people to publish comments that disagree with you will show that you are open to more opinions than your own. Your readers will stick around a lot longer and contribute much more when you let them post what they want.

There are far more methods you have at your disposal to become a better blogger. We already mentioned a few of these simple methods: responding to comments, freedom-of-speech in comments, and the ability to contact you and expect a response are all factors that will determine your success or failure.

The best thing about blogging is that you have many options to include different forms of advertising on your blogs and keep the ones that are most profitable. Thankfully, blogging is simpler than most other methods of creating an online income. And what’s more is that if you love your topic then everyday will be a pleasure to you instead of another day of work!

Why do governments around the world, in particular the former Soviet Union in the past recognize free speech to be more dangerous than guns, bombs and terrorism?

Best answer will cite original and primary sources of the idea of free speech.

What is free speech NOT?

Does the West presently have free speech, whatever it is?

How does one get free speech? Or is one born with it?

Peace! =D
@ Rowlfe, thankyou! I will check those out. I am seeking the first formulation of the principle of free speech.

Schumer, Pelosi, Reed and others are promising a fairness doctrine in February. Obama will have to sign it.

What’s more important: Free speech or government controlled fairness of ideas?

Sorry if that’s worded badly, I mean like what did the common person think of the Free Speech Movements at Berkeley? Any information helps and thanks in advance!

Where I can download the free speech to text freeware for windows 7? I do not want those text to speech sofware. Thanks.

I see people post on free speech often and many times they seem to be saying that they do not believe free speech should be protected for certain groups or certain people. As an example I will use radio pundits like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. I do not necessarily agree or disagree with these people, they are just the best polarizing figures I can think of at this time. I see many people post that these people should be censored or removed from the radio.

My question is this. Is it not more important to protect the rights of people who you don’t agree with than those you do based on the idea that if you are not willing to protect the rights of those you dissent against then the freedom itself is in jeopardy as a whole?
Az Grande: Only if they are somehow trying to specifically silence that opinion. To express a counter opinion to opinions expressed is what free speech is all about. We do not have to agree with each others opinions, but we should respect the right to hold and express them.
Az Grande: Yes and those who don’t agree with people like Limbaugh label that opinion as hate speech, racism and use a number of derrogatory terms to describe those people who choose to listen. I hate to tell you, but it is no different. Having free speech does not mean you can speak freely without challenge from other sources. You are trying to make an apples and oranges comparison here. In short saying you should be allowed to say what you want without redress, while those who disagree with you should not because by stating their opinion they are somehow limiting your opinion from being heard. My point is that both sides have equal rights to express their opinions whetehr I agree with them or not. If we do not uphold that right in the end no one will enjoy free speech. As for limiting freedom of assembly, I don’t agree with that practice either, but that’s another discussion entirely.
