Here's another 9 minutes worth of your time: Rowan Atkinson on free speech.

Quote from: Rowan Atkinson

For me, the best way to increase society's resistance to insulting or offensive speech is to allow a lot more of it. As with childhood diseases, you can better resist those germs to which you have been exposed. We need to build our immunity to taking offence, so that we can deal with the issues that perfectly justified criticism can raise. Our priority should be to deal with the message, not the messenger.

It is actually 9 mins worth of my time. Thanks for sharing. I never knew that the famous Mr bean who acts without speaking can be so fluent in speaking. He made so much sense and I quote him

Quote

Freedom of speech can only be in danger if the consequences of the speech is abolished

. He classified freedom of speech as the second most important thing to man after food to mouth. If free speech is as important as he described, it needs not be toyed with.
