Freedom of speech? Sure, But have the couth to let the corpse get cold first.....In the last few years we have confused "freedom of speech" with
blurting out mean, stupid, nasty comments and hiding behind the First Amendment when we are challenged about them.
I am sure most of you, Americans or Western Europeans think we live in a undemocratic society. We do! But no school kid would do this here. People talk so much about one's rights. Why do they always forget about one's responsibilities?
It's not the political correctness, it's not the fear of a lawsuit that should tell us how to act in such or such situation, it's the moral principles.
