So if I accused you of being treasonous because of a political stance, you'd want my speech censored?

I predict a busy overloaded court system in the near future with all the SJW millenials suing frivolously for micro aggressions. A smart youth would invest their time in a law degree, one could get filthy rich without ever winning a case.

Joining ISIS would be an action.
Saying words is not an action.
Look, I hate ISIS and I think they should be destroyed. But I don't think we should limit speech if someone supports it. That scares me worse than ISIS.

Interesting point.
I'm not sure, really. I'm one who would side for freedom over censorship as a knee-jerk reaction.
We can isolate specific instances and use them as blanket examples of free speech, I suppose.
If I say "I'm going to kill John Doe at 3 o'clock on Tuesday", I don't see that as the same as saying "I'm gonna murder someone!"

I think the law should apply when something infringes on the rights of another individual.
Hurt feelings because of something spoken doesn't infringe, in my opinion.
