Yelling Fire in a crowded theater is considered common sense today. I'm sure in the day it was highly debated as to the freedom of speech.
I have lived overseas and do recognize where my freedoms end and begin. It's very important to know them and to understand the seriousness of them. I understand kidding around, but someone else who is listening may not be so jokingly with you. I have seen people lose jobs over a joke that someone else overhearing took offense to and the wrong way.
