[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that many of you do not know what the first amendment actually says.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech..."

This says that the federal government shall make no laws abridging the freedom of speech.  Frankly, private entities are perfectly within their rights to abridge the freedom of speech within their areas.  So, private business owners can control what is said or done within the walls of their establishments.  And even within the control of the government are certain restrictions based on concerns for public safety.  For example, there are laws that prohibit yelling "Fire" in a crowded space like a movie theater.  You cannot yell within a convened court of law.

The only protections that the first amendment makes is that the federal government shall hot make laws abridging the freedom of speech.  End of section.[/quote]

Sorry but your knowledge of constitutional law is appalling.[/quote]
