Snake Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 “For those who claim they can no longer express their opinion, I say this to them: If you express and pronounced opinion, you must live with the fact that you will be contradicted. Expressing an opinion does not come at zero cost,” she said, according to an English translation of her remarks. “But freedom of expression has its limits. Those limits begin where hatred is spread. They begin where the dignity of other people is violated. This house will and must oppose extreme speech. Otherwise our society will no longer be the free society that it was,” she added. https://lidblog.com/chancellor-angela-merkel/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what idiots like MC can never comprehend about these "hate speech" laws. Just another law that will be politicized and abused. Last night I watched a documentary on prosecuting Nazi war criminals. They convicted very few, and many were only in prison for a couple years. Lets not look to the Germans for guidance on hate speech and hate crimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's completely right Mark, she comes from a country that allowed hate to grow and then destroy millions. How can you be pro Jewish and pro Israel and not understand what she is saying?

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted November 30, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 30, 2019 Sorry , but the first amendment is about protecting unpopular speech. Popular speech never needed protecting. And yes, I know the thread is about Markel and Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Crappie Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Pretty sure one of the first things Hitler squashed was free speech and the press. I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He turned the media at the time into his own and assigned an “information minister” to oversee it. Anyone not following with the “proper information” was iced out. The Goebbels playbook is in solid use today. Ahhhh....fascism. Kewl!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
