    sigh* - sounds like you have crossed the streams. You're fucked. If you have something to conceal you should have three different facebook accounts

    Not so much that I have something to conceal, but it's just not best relationship practices to have your exes talk to your current, you know? The conversation would go something like this:

    1) He's an idiot.
    2) He's such an idiot.
    3) No shit. It's great to have independent confirmation that he's an idiot.

    I don't need that kind of tsuris. Better they should each have to confirm for themselves that I'm an idiot.

    I've had Facebook comments that were liked by an old girlfriend, my ex-wife and my current wife of 20+ years. If at any point they are able to compare notes, I'm pretty much fucked.

    "Just" geopolitics. I like that.

    It's merely two countries with vast nuclear arsenals and unstable leaders trying to destabilize each other. What could go wrong?

    One major issue with the current political climate -- which you two have just perfectly demonstrated -- is the all or nothing approach, like the misguided loyalty to a football team that is so common in the US. Next to zero critical thinking or consideration of opposing views in current political discourse. Left vs Right -- that's all it is anymore. My side is always correct.

    Seems to be an anti-evolutionary and stupid approach to matters of critical importance, in my opinion.

    I agree , too.

    However, BlueStrat is demonstrably wrong, has a history of being demonstrably wrong, and comes from a long line of people who are demonstrably wrong. Oh, and "stupid". I have extensive data and metrics to prove it.

    So whoever writes the most drivel that gets the most Facebook postings to drive more people to the site gets all the money each month. A writer could even pay people's subscriptions for a few months, since most of it would come back to them as payment. After building up a small following, they could just keep writing the same drivel and get the same claps, without having to payout the seed money anymore.

    I'll bet if you think about what you just wrote, you'll start to see why it's stupid.

    I don't want to spoil your surprise.

    Though please please please, tell me how this comedian was a Nazi.

    He wasn't a Nazi and his freedom of speech was not curtailed and he was not prosecuted. Merkel said the prosecution could move forward, but it never did. And all this happened after his poem was published and distributed widely. And the law was changed.

    Go back and read the article more carefully. And remember, free speech does not mean consequence-free speech. You can still be dragged into court for libel or slander. If you cry "fire" in a theater, you can be prosecuted. Even right here in freedom-loving Texas, you can be prosecuted for "fighting words", defined as:

    1. Use “abusive, indecent, profane, or vulgar language,” of the kind likely to provoke a physical altercation.

    You think flying a Nazi flag or telling people that you're going to put them in ovens or promoting the Klan in a majority black community might fit that definition? Of course it does. Free speech does not give you the right to say whatever kind of shit you want without consequences. It didn't in 1789 and it doesn't now.

    German law goes after anyone who could upset democracy as put in place in West Germany and now in Germany.
    Left, right, faiths, publishers, political parties all face the same political laws and have to be very aware of what they say and comment on.
    The US has freedom of speech and freedom after speech.

    And yet, if you go to Germany right now, you will hear much greater diversity in political speech and ideology than you will in the US. Far left, far Right, and everything in between. Loudly spoken and debated. Anarchists, fascists, communists, every possible position on the spectrum is heard in Germany. Just don't be a Nazi. "German Law" hasn't done anything to curtail free speech. Just don't be a Nazi.

    Just don't try to pretend the Holocaust didn't happen, because Germany has the fucking receipts for the Holocaust, and they will shut you down.
