right... imagine a society where a politician, or a president can sue the fuck out of you for saying he is a crook, or dishonest, a dictator, etc... But your free speech is safe because the "government" doesnt take you away? lol Absolute free speech is the freedom to say what you want without punishment... But that doesnt exist, free speech is restricted, accept that, but how restricted do you want it to be? Nobody wins when being rude or insulting becomes punishable.
