84. And there's the childishness in the argument

You can't even discuss the possibility that some forms of public discourse could differ from others, without launching into a ridiculous argument ad absurdum.

As for the founders and the constitution, no they weren't toddlers, they were simply men who wrote a set of principles of law in a time completely different to our own, when the means of communication we have today were not even dreamt of, and when social discourse was already heavily regulated by the norms of polite society. In that era people could not and did not say anything they liked, and would have faced open and public violence if they had. The first amendment was a rule intended to protect political and philosophical speech.

But no, just like the 2nd amendment, today people use it to demand completely freedom with absolutely no responsibility. The irony is that people like yourself talk about the impossibility of legislation, when countless other democratic countries already have it, and experience no oppression as a result.
