Xinhua News Agency of Singapore reported last night (September 14): "Survey: One-third of American college students believe violence can be used to stop a speech. A new survey shows that support for freedom of speech among American college students continues to decline, with about 34% of respondents believing that using violence to stop campus speeches is acceptable in certain circumstances."
[Witty] Comment: The once powerful statement "I may disagree with your opinion, but I will fight to the death for your right to speak" has now, in some people's minds, been distorted into "Although I cannot argue you down, I can make you die." Moreover, extreme speech itself is also a form of violence, which can harm and kill people silently. Traditional Chinese education always advocates that gentlemen should have measured words and deeds. In contrast, in the United States, freedom of speech has become an indulgence without boundaries, leading to divided public opinion and social disintegration; legal gun ownership further removes any constraints on behavior, resulting in as many as 40,000 deaths each year, which is truly regrettable.
