If there's restriction on "free speech", how is it then free speech?

"I disprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your write to say it"-Voltaire
That quote accurately reflects my mindset: Your opinion can be totally offensive, un-popular, even cruel in a majority's view but it is your right to say it. Also, how can you determine what is right and what is wrong? By the current view point of the society? You must be God to judge the morality of an opinion.

I second that.
Free speech means there are no limits. But just as with anything, there are consequences to what you say; others have free speech as well... So the limits are subjective to your moral code and to how much fire you are willing to take for what you say.
