WHEN YOU YELL AT SOMEBODY IT IS NOT NICE AND IT IS ABUSE. CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?

It's called psychological abuse if I am reading your question correctly. For example a man can psychologically abuse his wife by constantly yelling ate her...so by extension that applies to the general community. However, I really am not all that certain that I understand what you are asking. Simply disagreeing with someone is not abuse.

i dont think argueing and yelling is abuse if you disagree on a subject, but if somebody is constantly yelling at you and calling you horrible names, and putting you down this could be abuse. but i guess it is different in every country

There are certain instances when every right we are allowed, has exceptions. Free speech, for instance. You would think this means you can say whatever you want, because you have the right of "free speech". But, walk up to someone and say "I'm going to kill you", and see how free you will be. It doesn't contradict the amendment, it just puts a limit on it. Another example is, say you picket a business (for example, McDonald's), and you say on t.v. that you know that they mix horsemeat with their hamburger (and you believe it to be totally true). See how fast that speech will remain "free"! You will receive, at minimum, a "cease and desist order", and if you don't stop "speeching", a massive lawsuit. Same thing with arguing. It is considered abuse when, after viewpoints have been made, with still no agreement, and one side stops the discussion. If you continue the verbal abuse, (name-calling, derogatory statements), to the point of it beginning to seem threatening or scary to someone, and they contact the police, (or some other authority), you'll see how free that speech actually is. Even tho' we (as Americans), are allowed a certain amount of lee-way with our speech, it is actually NOT totally "free".

I don't think JUST yelling, and not saying horrible things to each other is considered against the law (I may be incorrect here on this one though), I think it's when you get angry and say things to your partner just to hurt them- for example when you get mad you always call her "A dumb c*nt who can't get her parents to love her" or something that you know gets right in through the defense system to hurt her. Or she gets angry and says "You're a piece of sh*t, no wonder your father doesn't love you" or something like that. I could see how THAT would be abuse (that would be pretty obvious), but JUST raising the volume of your voice, I don't think is against the law- Unless it is specifically used as an intimidation tactic. Maybe it all depends on the intent?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. This does not say you can say whatever you want to without being punished by law. It just says that congress can not make a law out of respect of an established religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech. This was meant as a way of saying you can choose what religion and congress can't say no you have to be this one certain religion. With your freedom of speech you can stand for what you believe and the government can not say a word about it. This has nothing to do with verbal harassment and bashing others but rather stating your our opinion (without ripping apart someone else's) It is saying you have a right to say whatever you want for your belief just as long as your not slandering someone else while doing so, because they also have a freedom of speech and should be able to stand up for what they belief in as well. This is called debate, when I say the sky is blue and you say the sky is green we both made out point and that is that. When you or I step out of line and slander the others belief it no longer is a freedom of speech it become malice.

same here 'john' I can't work that out either ...seems the growth of thinskinned people has brought this about and 'abuse' and 'racist' are the words these people live by ...under the umbrella of 'political correctness'the days of freedom of speech has long gone and the freedom of thought is not far behind

anything that is verbal words that comes out of ones mouth.the word verbal means to speak but if it comes out as cursing, cutting you down, making fun of you,constant yelling at you are all forms of verbal abuse
