You made a good comment in link that suggested, amongst other things, that these specific exceptions include situations like shouting 'fire' in a crowded theatre. When your speech causes imminent and real danger to people's lives, wouldn't everyone agree that these other people's rights (such as right to life) are much more at stake? I'm struggling to see the 'no' case here.

Yes, it should have some (reasonable) restrictions, because, you can't just say whatever you please without any consequences. Well, technically, you CAN. But the thing that most people don't get is: Just because you CAN, doesn't always mean you SHOULD. You need to stop and think before you start running your mouth.

Yes, I want free speech. But if your idea of "free speech" is nothing more than an outlet for you to lash out at others, with the sole purpose of tearing them down, then screw your "free speech". The world is already hateful as it is, and we don't need more of that.

Now, as for expressing opinions (respectfully), then that's the type of free speech I want.
