bullshit. the laws do not forbid historical analysis and nazi symbolism (which falls under a entirely different law, section 86a, using symbols of an anticonstitutional organisation) is allowed in research and teaching.
Exactly. I live in Germany and things are generally quite similar here. For example my manager is a Turk, actually first generation, but living here for so long that he speaks Turkish with a German accent (in his own words). He's a decent software developer, an atheist and can't stand Erdogan. There are other Turks at the company, both first and second generation, and all of them are perfectly integrated and speak German just fine. Better, in fact, than most lesser - educated Germans.
About two years ago. Which is sad, because I consider modern Judaism the most progressive abrahamic religion. Especially this deserves a lot of respect.
It is not self evident because you are cherry-picking your examples. To prove you wrong I just have to name one counter-example and it is modern Russia. Most of the recent crazy laws there were sponsored by Christian fundamentalists and the country is nowadays less secular than Erdogan's Turkey.
Your mistake is a perfect example of survivorship bias. You see certain wealthy countries and think that they are wealthy because of a certain attribute they have - in your case the attribute is the Judeo-Christian culture. What you ignore are the countries with a similar or the same culture that fail to prosper (several countries in Latin and South America would be examples) and countries with a different culture that are prosperous (Japan, South Korea, Singapore). Matter of fact, Indonesia - a predominantly Muslim country - is more successful than quite a lot Christian countries.
And yeah, I still don't see any real difference between Turkish nationalists and our very own Neonazis, except maybe the skin colour.
Because it will mark you as very much the same as the people you despise, simple as that. The name of the religion or the nationalist you are voting for doesn't matter, the outcome is the same, the policies similar enough, the angry mobs alike.
The law against incitement to ethnic or racial hatred predates the second world war by almost a century. That law already existed in the Penal Code of the German Empire of 1871. Matter of fact, it was Â130, the same as today.
The 1871 wording is: "Anyone who publicly incites to violence against different classes of the population in a way that disturbs public peace is punished with a fine of up to two hundred thalers* or with prison for up to two years."
*a silver coin valued at 3 goldmark
The current wording is much more verbose in the way that states more clearly what is considered incitement to hatred, but the gist is basically the same.
To be fair, this basic question is puzzling. Do you need an explanation of how laws are passed and how courts of law work in Germany? And as for the quip about two world wars: the first one had nothing to do with free speech and was caused by stupid but war loving monarchs, and the rise of Hitler had a lot to do with hate speech that was not only allowed, but even encouraged.
Ya rly. What does a personal distaste for ostentatious patriotism displays have to do with hate speech? Many Europeas share Pratchetts opinion on it:
"I'd be very worried if I saw a man singing the national anthem and waving the flag, sir. It's really a thing foreigners do." "Really? Why?" "We don't need to show we're patriotic, sir... We don't have to make a fuss about being the best. We just know."
I can't believe that I actually defend Merkel. Can't stand her, but these accusations are stupid, and so are those who make them.
Left wing? What are you smoking? Merkel belongs to the CDU party (christian democratic union) and it is a center - right party. And speaking of lynch mobs. Your very idol Trump is how they happen, not hate speech laws. If you call yourself a moderate with a straight face then people around you must be so far right that German neo-Nazi groups would feel underachieving in comparison.
Not quite for over 2000 years. It is nitpicking, before the Council of Jerusalem (circa 50 CE) Christianity was just one of many Judaism sects, and the Roman Catholic church actually came into existence in its current sense of the term after the East - West schism in 1054 CE.
how so? Germany is central Europe, so not at a really northern latitude, but even here the sunset in the winter is way before 18:00. it is long dark on the way home.
Are you seriously comparing a PCIe board to a CPU?! WTF are you smoking? Graphics card have a GPU, memory and a transformer on them. Have you never seen a naked graphics card or what? The GPU itself is smaller than any PC CPU. So yes, they are packing more into the same space because a graphics card itself is like a motherboard and even Mini-ITX motherboards are larger.
There are more than enough good bands today - even though I listen mostly to prog rock (and Pink Floyd) is my favourite band, most of my music collection isn't that old. For some strange reason Poland has a lot of decent prog bands, case in point: Riverside.
How about a LGA2011 Xeon E5-2660? 8 cores, 16 threads, 20 megs of cache. $50 to $90 on ebay. Very fast. The motherboards are somewhat expensive, though, but then again you'll be able to buy used server RAM with ECC and register chips that is cheaper than normal DDR3 RAM. You can buy that xeon with a cooler, motherboard and 32 gigs of RAM for about $300 altogether.

i don't have any hopes for that movie. even arise sucked. a third stand alone complex season would be awesome, though.

GP is right, you are a dumbass indeed.

Vainglory used to be on the deadly sin list.
on Laos. Vietnam received twice the amount.
This is nowhere near the record. During the Vietnam war USA dropped several millions of bombs every year.

Ramen is the Japanese pronunciation of a Chinese word that means "pulled noodles".
For certain values of "just fine".
Nowadays SAP has more developers in India than in Germany.

It is not just about memory. Twice as many registers, 64 bit integers, faster syscalls and so on.

A vaccine might help ;-)
That is worded as if Ruhr is a town. It is, in fact, a river, and the university is located in Bochum.
