Hmmm...personally I haven't really I guess I won't say never because I don't remember everything I've ever said and I haven't always been as wise as my age though not old has made me versus youth, but I do know even in my youth I was never directly opposed to a person because of race or religion. I do remember as a kid having a no girls allowed club thing a time or 2 but that was at the age of like 6 or 7 I think....
Any how getting to the point, free speech, unfortunately someone somewhere decided that if you are saying something that someone else finds offensive then you are over stepping your rights. If I remember right Congress even tried making this a law back in the 90's with Internet web pages. If it offended someone then it would be illegal. Luckily that law was defeated. But it was definitely scary.
Free speech in my eyes is and should always be just that, the freedom to speech. The unfortunate part of that is that there are those out there that are neither mature or educated enough to have the responsibility of it. This causes stupid little laws and such to get made chipping away at that right and before you know it you end up where a lot of us are.
