According to Texas v. Johnson (flag burning case), "If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the Government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable." Selective restraints based on offensiveness of speech strictly limited: unless speech invades privacy of home or the degree of captivity makes it impractical to avoid exposure, the burden is on the offended person to "avert his or her eyes."
Cohen; Erznoznik
- Caveat: Speech that constitutes "fighting words" under the Chaplinsky standard is not protected. But see R.A.V. v. St. Paul (partial restriction of fighting words based on intent to "arouse anger, alarm or resentment in others" on basis of race, etc. unconstitutional as viewpoint restriction). Contrast Wisconsin v. Mitchell (penalty enhancement for racial motivation in committing aggravated battery upheld).

ever seen Dogma?
Raven said:Ahhh I see, so the opinion of the offended is more important then the opinion of the non-offended.
Theres a reason why its relatively easy to find hate literature, pro nazi propaganda, and racist music in the U.S.
And its not because no one finds it offensive.

fraidykat said:someone need attention?
Jago said:Obviously you do. You're arguing the flash cartoon when it was obviously meant as humor. Yet you treat it like an intentional attack on your beliefs. No one really cares what you believe in just like no one cares what I believe in.
