Since you are a lawyer you know that freedom of speach only applies to public settings and government censorship. It does not apply to private settings. In private settings, the owner of the place has the right to control what is said. (when protesting against a private corporation, you do it outside the gates, by the entrance, while you are in public land, not inside their property, or they get arrested for tresspassing.)
That is why the democratic convention does not have to allowed republicans inside to protest while they are holding their meetings, since they are private, and same reason they can protest on the sidewalks, since they are public spaces.
Same reason the senate and house sessions you can protest in them, since they are public. (although you cannot disturb the sessions, or you will be escorted out by some really big guys...)Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.0 -

It depends, but they are either public property or they are public right of way, depending on the city ordinances.
Only exception to those rules are sidewalks in "gated communities", or walkways (not the same as sidewalks).Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures.

Wow.
I am thoroughly NOT a lawyer, nor do I play one on teevee, though I do know that the first amendment to the constitution states that congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. Last I checked, PWI and or their affiliates are not the United States congress, ergo, no free speech for you. Its their forum, its their call.
Deal.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Thread rules were created to keep a welcoming environment for everyone, even those who choose not to use profanity regularly.
Please be considerate of the rules, as they were put in place for a reason.b:thanks
