You can argue over their methods all you want. But it is not as if Germany is the only country in Europe to have laws forbiding hate speech directed towards religions or ethnic groups. At least the Germans had a good reason for their anti hate speech laws.
Meds, do you know anything about German history?

As a matter of fact, dumbfuck, I do. I know that the last time Germany suppressed its people a whole lotta jews and books got burned.
This isn't about hate speech, it's about freedom of speech. Moreover, fuckwad, if people don't want to buy the guy's product they can tell him to go fuck himself, just like I am to you right now.

So that makes Germans pussies? I don't see limitations on German dissent. Do you? Just on the right to mock religions. Do I want to see it here? Hell no. But to not understand the circumstances behind that law is simply idiotic.

It would appear that 82 million people have elected various government officials who, in turn, have developed a legal system lined with spineless pussies.
It would also appear that you're a dumbfuck.

The magazine concluded: "The German soldiers ran away and hid like frightened rabbits in their barracks. They only reappeared in armoured vehicles after the Albanian mob had wreaked its havoc and left a trail of destruction."
Has anyone considered the possibility that maybe the soldiers hid out not because they were cowards, but because they just didn't give a fuck? (See: The Los Angeles riots and the LAPD)

I agree.
But I'm having trouble here...could you remind me again who it was that amongst other stupidity, used as part of a political campaign the mantra "There should be limits to freedom" when somebody made a funny photoshop of his pic on the internets?
I have to disagree with this, Raider Fans still rank ahead of Germans as the biggest pussies on earth.

Just a guess, but I'm sure the Germans know more about the effects of bigotry more than an American who was too scared to go to a tennis match in New York.

N. Korea and Iran have declared they either have nuclear weapons or are going to get nuclear weapons. The brave US citizens will be invading Iraq again, to show their heroism and to protest.
