I understand that it's awful and really hurts and offends when people say certain things, but why is it necessary to censor them? Just because certain people say certain things, doesn't mean that everyone's just going to blindly follow them. Most people would see for themselves how ugly certain statements are, and oppose them without the need for censorship.

On a slightly different note, how is pornography "free speech"? Okay, it's "free expression" but it's definitely not speech in the literal sense. Couldn't anything other than actual speech/writing be censored without hurting peoples' right to actually say vocally or write what they think?
