I guess Im not surprised by Germany, those guys cant stop flagellating themselves over the sins of their fathers. And I see from Malc's link that it carries a 6 MONTH SENTENCE! Hmm, maybe it could work out for the homeless. Every 6 months stroll up to a police station, yell "I hate Jebus", and boom, three hots and a cot for half a year. Pretty draconian though, from my perspective.
@Volo: Its hard to judge the past through the lens of todays society.
