Freedom of speech should be practiced in all instances without exception

I'm sorry, but I believe that you couldn't be more wrong. Just because the right of free speech prevents a government from arresting or censoring whatever you say here, it doesn't mean that changing the resolution of a debate is right. Changing the resolution of this debate is breaking the most basic rule of debating: that the instigator and contender must argue the resolution originally presented. Ignoring the given resolution at the start of the debate is basically a concession, and not a simply conduct violation. Now, you also claim that I have not provided any point to counter your "new resolution", but I actually have: When I analyze the article XIX of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I came to the conclusion that it only protects speeches that are opinions, information or ideas, while hate speech is none of those, but rather a form of attack (I could also add that changing the resolution of a debate also doesn't fit the definition of opinion, information or idea). But since you have allowed resolutions to be changed, even though that shouldn't be allowed, I decided to ignore the rules of debating too and play along with your "rules". I hereby change the resolution of this debate again to the following: "The United States Should Institute an Official Presidential Underwear" Now you may ask: "What the hell is a presidential underwear?!" Well, we know that most countries use some symbolic element to represent the power that is invested in their head of state, usually used in inauguration ceremonies or special events, like for example: Crowns: Presidential sashes: Mitre, cane and other religious garments: Presidential collar and mace: Swords: Military uniforms: And other weird clothes: However, the president of the United States - recognized as the most powerful person in the world - doesn't have any kind of special symbol. Don't you think that the American president doesn't deserve a symbol that is worthy of his power? Of course, he shouldn't just make a lousy copy of those losers above, so the only thing we can do is creating a symbol completely original, that can be deserving of the title of "symbol of the president of the United States". That's why I propose that we institute a symbolic piece of clothing that is so mighty and powerful that all the others leaders of the world will kill themselves out of envy: the Presidential Underwear. Inspired in the most powerful superhero of all times, when using this article of power, the president, can put fear into any enemy of America, like Superman do with his enemies, be they communists, Arab terrorists, Persian terrorists, Pakistani terrorists, vietcongs, Chinese, Japanese, Nazis, dictators of banana republics, British colonists, innocent Native-Americans, the Spanish Armada, Mexican hats, Confederates, the German empire, the Russian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Russian revolution, the French revolution, Napoleon, Napoleon II, Napoleon III, Napoleon IV, Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Canadians, Swiss, Norwegians, Bhutanese, the Principality of Sealand, and everything else that exists, have ever existed, will ever exist, or is just made up. Admit it, you would think twice before attacking the United States if Obama wore something like this.
