Re: Singapore

Mr. Frissell asserts that Germany lacks rights such as freedom of speech and association. This is not true. The German Basic Law provides for everyone the right to freedom of speech, religion and association. However, Germany prohibits hate speech i.e. National Socialism and incitement to racial, religious and national hatred. The reason for this exception is the German history.

And thus there is no true freedom of speech and such in Germany. I can either say "Fuck the Jews" or I can't. I can either say "Bill Gates can blow me" or I can't. I can either post naked pictures of myself or I can't. (And yes, this means that there is no true freedom of speech and such in the United States either.) Nice try.
