• Wow...
  ... let's just go overboard. Yes, I am Christian. No, I don't use foul language. No, I don't want my daughter (who is 2) to be exposed to foul language.
  
  Society does and should have the right to set certain limits on what is said in public. I cannot yell fire in a movie theater. I shouldn't be allowed to run up and down the street dropping F bombs - IN PUBLIC!
  
  So, by the way, I guess if I was a gunstore owner who sold a gun to a person who was just fist-fighting with another person outside my store (and knew it) and then watched that person walk out and shoot the person he was fighting with, I would have no responsibility? Here is the difference between rights and responsibilities. As the gunshop owner, I may have followed all the legal requirements the law puts on me, but I did not live up to the responsiblities that come with the right to sell guns.
  
  As a society, we want all the freedoms and rights but do not want to recognize the responsibility that comes with them.

• I'd be ok with the voting...
  ... but to say that because YouTube - a private company and website - removes these videos is "illegal" is absurd.
  
  Private citizens have the right to censor anyone and anything. I have the right to throw someone out of my home if they say something that is offensive to me. I don't associate with people who use foul language. That is my right.
  
  Our governments (local, state, and federal) ARE allowed certain, very strict, censorship. Public television is one. You cannot yell "fire" in a movie theater for another.
  
  Freedom of speech requires some guidelines and responsibilities that the speakers must understand and accept. Otherwise, it's anything goes.

• Get off it.
  YouTube is a company that has the right to take off any video it wants. It has been VERY open to allowing almost anything, but there is a line.
  
  As many people, obviously yourself included, fail to acknowledge is that with freedom comes responsibility. Most people want freedom, but do not acknowledge the responsibilities that come with it.
