We have the right to free speech. That does not preclude us from having to exercise the right to think about what we are going to say. Free speech does not include the right to yell fire in a theatre because that has the potential to injure or kill people. People who argue about yelling fire in a theatre is 'free speech' is someone who doesn't think they should be held accountable for their actions. The logical right to free speech is the right to speak out with regards to your position/beliefs/ideas/thoughts without government retribution.

There is no 'defined' list of rights that i'm aware of and if you've studied the constitution, as you've said that you have, you would know this.

The Bill of Rights includes rights such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and freedom of assembly. It also mandates that the Bill of Rights and other rights enumerated in the Constitution must be interpreted not as a comprehensive list of all rights, but rather an incomplete list of rights.
