But
why? What makes
that music disrespectful and no other music disrespectful? How can some 'curse words' show disrespect? Why can't the ability to curse show freedom of speech or something positive?

I didn't joke about someone's ass. I was just using that as an example, but
why can someone sue me just for saying 'fuck?' That's absolutely stupid. If someone is on the same level as me and they just keep busting my balls and telling me to do their work and I'm just like, "Man, fuck off. That's your job." Why is that sexual harassment?

That freedom of speech is meant to allow one to voice thier feelings and opinions about government issues, topics, laws, etc. but in a non-confrontational or disrespectful way without causing someone to get hurt or causing a riot, disorder, etc.
But that's an opinion. It says freedom of speech. It doesn't say for what.

That's the problem. Some of the people I work with are my close friends. -Pat
