How should the government limit or not limit freedom of speech and why???
It depends on how you define the freedom of speech. Most define it as speech between the people and the government. Rather than thinking of putting limits on the freedom of speech, you should think of what is not protected by the freedom of speech. Some examples are threatening to harm or kill someone, ordering others to harm someone or damage property, shouting obscenities, slanderous speech etc.

I hear that the troops are fighting for our freedom and our rights but I don’t remember my freedom(s) or rights being attacked.
The troops are not fighting for our freedom or our rights they are fighting because Bush told them to.
The biggest threat from terrorism isn’t the action of it, but the REACTION to it.
Thank You fellow Americans for your honesty and ignorance. A lot of anger and choice words but no one can tell me what freedoms and rights, they attacked or tried to take away.
Life is not a right, people die everyday and its a gaurantee you will too, none of us are meant to stay here forever.
The terrorists DIDN’T attack our rights or freedoms. However, Bush and the Right are attacking them daily
basically, while UK relies on precedent rather than written a written constitution, the Charter, along with the 1982 Constitution, created an almost American-style governing document, complete with judicial review of legislation.
In effect, Canadain government took a big step away from the UK foundation of governance and made a foundation similar to the US’.
Can a kid be forced to practice a religion under their parents?
I’m being forced to attend yom kippur services and I’m an atheist and I don’t think that this is right. Please tell me if this is allowed to happen and how I can stop it.
As a minor, you have very few rights at all (the right to a basic education, medical care, basic clothing, simple shelter, and basic food and that’s that!). You have no privacy rights, no property rights, no right of self-determination, and no right to choose either your sexuality and/or your religion. Until you reach the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must obey all lawful commands and directions from your parents and you must submit to their authority and discipline.
This is because they have the hard duty to bring you up to be a self-respecting, self-supporting adult that will be an asset to society, rather than a burden. And the state will assist your parents in whatever they feel is best in raising such an adult (ie. if you rebel against your parents, they can get the law to assist them in controlling you).
To directly answer your question, you have no right to freedom of religion as a minor and you won’t until you become a legal adult. You can be forced to practice whatever religion your parents choose (with one or two minor exceptions like if your parents insist on female circumcision, that is against the law or if they are Jehovah’s Witnesses and they refuse to permit you to receive a blood transfusion). And yes, this is legal. You can do nothing to stop it and if you refuse your parents lawful orders and directions, you will find that they have the right to punish you with almost impunity!
I suggest you obey your parents. Once you are a self-supporting adult, you can move out and do as you plese.
What is your favorite freedom in the bill of rights and why? please explain.
Well the reason im asking is because its for school, so yeah guess their asking if you want yer heart or lungs removed..
Freedom of speech. We can criticize the government, suggest changes, without fear of reprisal by the government. It’s a vitally important right.

I am talking about US veterans and soldiers. Are they fighting for America every day?
Our service is the one thing that stands between your freedom and incursions by enemies bent on America’s destruction. Without a powerful standing military, others would be emboldened to attack us.
