I think it's important what the Iranian president implicates. It's not that 'we think Europe should take Israelis and give them good lands and we can all be loving people'. It's rather 'Israel has no place on our map, they are not an entity here'. Because that is what it means.

Hey, I have no problem relocating Israel in Europe if they so wanted. Sure, there's plenty room, let's get them here. But that's not the point, they have their country now, it's where it is, period, and Iran is not offering peace here, on the contrary.

No.. we must stay firm and alert and if the opportunity should arise, shut him up.

We don't need that. We have excellent beer. When everyone's drunk nobody remembers what people said, so even without free speech people get away with everything.

But unfortunately that Iran pres isn't allowed to drink beer because of his own religion, so he'll end up in jail, diplo immunity or not.

don't worry, allah can't see all the way to Germany, especially if it's night time .

On a more serious note: We do have freedom of speech, but it is limited wrt nazi and anti-democracy stuff. Like that one.

Can you say "Kill the government!" publicly in Finland? In the USA?

Even Hobbes knew that freedom only works when it is limited to an extent that it is secured for all. Hence, any democracy without limits to its freedom is just anarchy.

I can say nazi things and anti-democracy things.

Thus Finland > Germany.

Finland is the scrotum of Scandinavia.

Of course the gov't wouldn't protect you as you got your ass beaten by miscellaneous supercitizenry.

I would seriously support nuking Tehran

I think alcohol and sexual freedoms would be a better solution and they would have probably a deeper impact there

True freedom of speech does not exist anywhere I don't think.

Germany just has more limits than other countries. Which is understandable due to their history.

In general I don't agree with restricting hate speech, but I can understand why Germany has done so. I don't blame them for it.
