Jurgan posted:Mainly to shut up Holocaust deniers and Neo-Nazis. But that's a perfect illustration of why free speech should be protected even for people we disagree with. Slippery slopes do sometimes happen. Also, it's nice to have America still be best at something. There is an argument to be made that speech shouldn't be protected if it's promoting an ideology incompatible with a free country. However that is a different thing from insulting foreign leaders and I believe is entirely separate legally.

However that is a different thing from insulting foreign leaders and I believe is entirely separate legally. Yeah, the law in question is the §103 StGB, which states: quote:(1) Whosoever insults a foreign head of state, or, with respect to his position, a member of a foreign government who is in Germany in his official capacity, or a head of a foreign diplomatic mission who is accredited in the Federal territory shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding three years or a fine, in case of a slanderous insult to imprisonment from three months to five years. Essentially the motivation behind it it seems to boil down to "don't gently caress up our diplomatic relations".

prefect posted:Turkey sought the prosecution after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was mocked. They're so sensitive to any criticism. When Erdogan was in DC a few weeks ago, there were protests outside the Brookings Institute where he was meeting with Biden. Erdogan's bodyguards started attacking the protesters and then some journalists when they started filming. The DC Metro police had to physically intervene against the bodyguards and it's lucky that things didn't escalate beyond shoving.

prefect posted:The free speech in America is not something that's normal in the rest of the world. Which is great, because some of our worse papers have been complaining quite heavily about this. Three days of front pages demanding justice, complaining "And we STILL aren't allowed to know about this celebrity's threesome!" As long as I don't go to prison for reading this post, I honestly couldn't care less.

America is insane, and the Economy will only function if we get a direct hit, I.e. full implementation, of either Bernie or Hillary's tax plans. An excellent point Benson.

That is the cutest gay Anglo-Saxon warrior I have ever seen, I would take him on a date no question.  Probably to a football or hockey game, I think he'd probably be able to appreciate the atmosphere of manly, aggressive simulated combat. Or maybe MMA. And then ice cream, cuz nothing will convince you that the future is amazing like ice cream in sixty-four flavors.An absolutely perfect cartoon, nice job Adam4d.

It's kind of a stretch to say that "convention" and "nomination" rhyme though because the "-tion" suffix is not a stressed syllable in either case

:you (some other commenter) tell us welfare reform was a success, yet conservative after conservative whine and screech about generations of poor (black) people in inner city neighborhoods leeching off the government dole (you always ignore the rural poor because even though they are just as big of leeches, they vote Republican and therefore get the hypocritical free pass to welfare). 
: Do you even get outside the city limits let alone get into the "sticks"? Ya know, where there is no electricity, running water and no cell phone coverage? I've been there Ed. Funny, that most of those rural poor actually live off the land by farming, hunting and fishing. I can see a city slicker such as yourself living in fear camping under the stars.
