    Such laws are now been used to stop any and all comments on the policies of todays German political policy.
    That is wrong. The government has no legal way to suppress your free speech.

    Report on local issues, how local services are been used, what governments are doing, the results of illegal immigration and risk a police interview.
    That is wrong. See above.

    And who's responsibility is to counter it?
    A special government agency? Aren't we back on square one then?
    Or do you expect the citizens to form an NPO and counter it?
    Or do you want to accept that no one is standing up to prevent it?

    Isn't there this american slogan (simplified):
    When they came for Bill, I did not stand up and said anything.

    Just because you disagree with something, it is not fascist.

    A fascist health care plan, for instance, gets passed in spite of the majority of the country having been against it, precisely because the Federal government is so far removed from The People.

    I suggest to google, what Fascist means.

    In a fascist health care system only the super rich had healthcare and when ever they needed an organ transplant they would organize a hunting party for the youth of the super rich to hunt down some poor sods to harvest the blood and the organs, and they would call it: sports.

    By definition 90% or more of the population would be in favour for that law .... uh, not population, but the elite that is allowed to vote.

    However you missed the initial point that the holocaust was only to gain money from robbing jews of their possession, the robbing was a by-product, the basic intend was to wipe out the jewish population, and not to forget all other "races" that the Nazis deemed not life-worthy - mostly the population of eastern europe.
    You mixing up cause and effect, too!
    First they wanted the money of the Jews, then they needed a plan to get it. So they invented that race and ideology bullshit, and when they realized how good that worked with the Jews they extended it to other areas as eastern europe.

    SS originally meant "Schutzstaffel", not "Sturmstaffel".

    The SA was one reason for the success of the Nazis: they stormed and disrupted party events of other parties or marches/demonstrations of other parties in the streets.

    In this case, it is being used to *intentionally suppress political speech that is not in accordance with the current government position*
    Actually it is not. Search warrants and arrest warrants are issued by judges, based on law. The government has no influence on ghat.

    The Germans are *dead wrong* to criminalize speech, because as soon as you do, you permit someone else to decide what "hate" means - just like 1933. And you are a dead wrong idiot.
    Before 1933 we had no hate speech laws, that did not work out very well, for us, for the jews and others and the rest of the world.
    Since 1946 we have hate speech laws, it seems it served us over 75 years quite well.
    What hate speech is, is quite obvious, there is no one needed to 'define' it for anyone.

  12. Intelligence is the application of knowledge.
    No it is not, or people who don't know a lot would never be intelligent.
    There are plenty of situations where people that know a lot do stupid decisions because they prefer to follow the book (of what they know). E.g. a computer program as an expert system knows a lot, but is not intelligent. Wikipedia is just a conglomerate of facts, just like a priest who can cite the whole bible, he is not necessarily intelligent, with all his knowledge.

    Your comment about Apple products makes no sense. Mac OS only runs legally on Apple products, so does iOS.

    The wording is wrong 'scientifically' has no point in your final sentence.
    The question is only if it is a big study, and/or if it needs to be a big one.

    E.g. if you want to study about migraine, you probably want to question a few thousand of probands. But scientifically every single anecdote has the same value. Later you filter out those who are rare outsiders. However they still are interesting and not unscientific. You only filter so you can more easy find groups/phenomena that have something in common.

    Anyway, I was only answering because /. is full, with idiots who think an anecdote had no scientific value, because it is either fake or an outsider or not reliable.

    When I'm alone in the desert and realize the sun is rising in the east, for some /. it is an anecdote, for me it is a fact of nature.

    Because most intelligent people that know it's "thereof" have probably left this site.
    Knowledge and intelligence are two different things. Hence we have the discussion about weak and strong AI ... expert systems know a lot, but are not intelligent.

    I for my part don't care how stuff is spelled. As my eyes or "eye to thought coordination" never notice the mistakes (of others or myself).
