I don't equate child pornography to free speech. But people who are in favor of it certainly do.
Did you not understand that I'm against that?
Because I thought it was quite clear when I said that we should be grateful that free speech isn't absolute, otherwise child pornography would be legal.
Or are you making a distinction concerning the term "speech" in "free speech"?
Because "freedom of speech" is also "freedom of expression". It's not just about people actually speaking, as in talking (speech).
So freedom of speech also applies to film, photos, recordings, cartoons, texts, etc...
If you equate child pornography to speech, you speak a different language than me.

I did not say free speech. No where did I use the word FREE.
My original question still stands.
I'm not equating it. I'm saying that some people have used the First Amendment to try to argue that child pornography should be legal.
I really can't explain this concept any simpler.
If you don't understand it this time around, there's no use in asking me to explain it again.
I don't understand what you don't understand about it.
Do you not understand how the word "speech" works in the phrase "free speech" when referring to the First Amendment?
What exactly are you thinking about when I use the word "speech" in the phrase "free speech" in this conversation?
My point?
Fucking children is not speech. It's a one-way ticket to hell, and every decent person should arrange the trip as soon as possible.
