12698027, Who gets to judge "smart"? Who gets to judge "disrespectful"?

That seems like an incredibly difficult judgement to enforce societywide... the answers to both of the above would be different for everyone in any given society.

Either people can say whatever they like or they can't. Anything else is borderline impossible to implement.

Do you think Team America: World Police or South Park's weekly output are "respectful" enough? Should we turn our backs on Comedy Central if they get attacked?
