WHY? Freedom of Speech is exactly that, so either you agree with it or are against it, there cannot be degrees of Freedom of speech.

There's a question which shows you understand neither freedom of speech or respect.

Freedom of speech is self-explanatory, but respect is also a freedom. You can't have mandatory respect there's no such a thing as insincere respect.

The opposite of respect is disrespect... you
Even if you have the freedom to not respect it it's still disrespect...
Freedom of speech isn't granting you a right to disrespect...
It's down to your approach...you can be an arsehole or sensible kind of person...

Very true, but Freedom of Speech allows even arseholes to voice an opinion, nothing to do with respect IMO.

I appreciate the irony of Brits and their commonwealth descendants coming on to say why Americans shouldn't have to salute the state. Talk about role reversal, it's 1776 done the other way around.

The hypocrite NFL knee bending players are certainly free to take their knee bends to the street and kneel there. Why does anyone want to pay and watch them protest instead of watch a football game? The NFL hypocrites are also free to leave and go some where else if they like.

The NFL kneelers are paid to play football and conduct themselves the way the club owners pay them t. as professional football players these hypocrite protesting “Oppressed” NFL Kneelers live in luxury like most of us will never see. I will never pay to knowingly watch anyone protest.

I volunteer in a cancer hospital in Columus and we have strict conduct rules to adhere to. We can not discuss our political or religious views, sell things like books etc, or discuss conditions of patients to others. If we violate these rules we forfeit our non paying volunteer jobs. We are not owned as volunteers but we choose to accept the rules to do volunteer work. Professional Image is important in hospitals, i would imagine it would be so in other businesses too.
