The First Amendment in Five Minutes

[@nicoleuggy1699]

People who get offended that easily need to grow a pair and shut up. It is merely impossible to avoid offensive/evil language and personalities. If the first amendment is abolished how are we supposed to communicate? Let alone be ourselves?

[@michaelmarini94]

That's why "hate speech" laws are stupid.

[@scorchclasstitan6727]

Nicole Uggy your not your rights are slowly being taken away have fun with Nazi germany 2.0 :)

[@freedomrocks7821]

Americans should "stand-up and speak-out" not "sit-down and shut-up". American public schools don't even teach CIVIC's anymore, it's no wonder most young people have no idea what the 1st Amendment means.

[@chandlersleziak6416]

@@freedomrocks7821 That's not true. Schools still teach Government classes throughout the entirety of the United States. We already know what the 1st Amendment is, and what it does.

[@freedomrocks7821]

[@josegera7621]

I am not an American citizen but it makes me sad that a video like this has a very little attention. American citizens are loosing their rights, and it will affect the rest of the world.

[@JediNiyte]

What I want to know is this: do private citizens have a leg to stand on if they don't like you using profanity in conversation, assuming you're not inciting violence or committing libel or slander? I'm talking about using F-bombs in the normal course of conversation.

[@MyArmsWillStretch]

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer! This is just my understanding... The first amendment protects an individual from the government. Freedom of speech does not protect individuals from individuals. Beyond that cursing is rarely considered a crime, unless it can be deemed as harassment, abusive or threatening. Also "Fighting Words" (yes an actual term), which is deemed as "words that would invoke, or are likely to invoke a fight," may constitute legal action. So unless you're actually threatening someone probably not. BUT if you're on private/public property and being disorderly that may fall into disorderly conduct. But F-bombs are generally not legally criminal unless they accompany a threat of harm.

MyArmsWillStretch lol:)- I live in a Town where it's "illegal" to swear in public and has a fine- everyone laughs about it!

[@robbracknell]

Same here (Virginia Beach) but I don't know that it's ever been challenged. Usually the police use it as a pretext to pick up rowdy kids from the boardwalk. I'm not even sure they cite them.

We also don't have a bill of right, our founders beloved government could grant and protect these rights 😒 but we do have alternative voting which many countries don't have, which is a good thing

[@altha-rf1et]

The 1st amendment applies to government interaction with press not other people's interaction with press

[@Mealwormies]

I’m in a journalist class and the question I need to answer for this video is, “What does this video mean for you as a high school journalist” like I’ve watched this video 5 times and still don’t know what the hell is going on and how to answer it. Can anyone help me?

[@SupremeKingSovereign]

From what I have seen, you are still allowed pray to who you want to pray to and go to the church you want to go to. You are not allowed to attack who you want to attack though.

[@dontwanttojoingoogle1799]

I loved watching this. Thanks for posting it.

[@sarahemmett8941]

no, no, no it was GEORGE MASON who insisted on the BOR and he ruined his friendship with Washington over it. They never spoke again!

[@johnaugsburger6192]

Thanks

[@guenterlohnert780]

The title of this strange video is totally misleading! (“The First Amendment in Five Minutes”) First of all you should be told what is actually written in the first amendment. None of it is explained. The old man immediately starts to babble something.

The topic is limited by a current understanding of the expanded nature of "government" which is more insidious today and can be phrased as the Military/Industrial/Corporate/Complex/Matrix.

[@VanmeterFL]

Do you feel claiming certain media sources are "fake news" is denigrating our 1st Amendment rights? If so, how do we combat the process?

[@sub-genius8451]

Freedom from religion.

[@MelkorTolkien]

That's the Establishment Clause. The Free Exercise Clause however prevents the banning of religion and religious practices.

[@JT7868]

Why does KZbin keep just getting slower and worse?

[@KevZen2000]

JT7868 1.They compress videos, and data to save space, which decreases the quality of videos. Compression effects video quality, which is why 720P looks at about the same as 1080P on many videos. 2. KZbin has a lot of traffic, even more than Google can update, even if they try. The more traffic, the more burdensome on the servers, and hence less performance in regards to speed, and other aspects.

Nope. KZbin is a PRIVATE enterprise. “CONGRESS shall make no law…”. KZbin ain’t Congress, nor a branch of government controlled by it. Your boss can fire you anytime if you say something he doesn’t like and so can KZbin. They don’t owe you their services, you entitled snowflake.

RON PORTZ really dawg? Maybe it’s because he’s talking at the speed of a snail in sporadic pitch changes and keeps repeating tiny things, not to mention his voice is so “meh” that I don’t even want to listen to him. What kind of boomer crap are you on about “fruit fly mental capacity” dawg maybe if I wasn’t watching the video equivalent of a textbook from 1940 I’d be more intrigued

[@ega0117]

Even though you have gone through your explanation of the 1st amendment, I'm still confused why we have so many variations or opinions of the meaning. The founding fathers wrote it in it's most simple form. This so called history lesson about Thomas Jefferson you gave is meaningless. Has nothing to do with the 1st Amendment. Just explain in simple terms what the citizens of America can do and can't do. And, what our government whether if it's the federal government of state government can do and can't do with regards to the 1st amendment !

[@FlashToso]

The "simple terms" are not adequate because of people insisting upon their own interpretation. That causes "LOOPHOLES". The present debate over the "EQUAL PAY" law from the 1960s being revisited to apply to women! English like any language has ambiguities allowing different interpretations. What we need is people to understand simple COMMUNICATION. It is not good enough to say what you mean. People must verify that what is heard is what is intended. Mass communication, like reading and writing leaves that part out. We end up talking "AT" instead of "WITH" each other. Our schools teach language skills but not communication skills. The speaker and listener must agree that the listener understands the speaker before meaningful opinions about the message can be formed and discussed. We must also understand that debates are intended as persuasion toward a particular viewpoint. Discussion exchanges ideas in order to improve understanding of an issue to allow more meaningful opinions. CONGRESS prefers debate over discussion which contributes greatly to its dysfunction.
