I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

Elerond Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Germany has had long time now law that forbids slandering heads of foreign states. This year they seem to try to abolish that law, but it is still in effect. One main reason for abolishing that law is probably this case.
Lexx Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 It is. Before that, nobody really remembered the law exists at all. No idea what happens next. I guess they will go into revision or something, because the reasoning and what exactly has been banned is very shaky. Also, as far as I've read about it now, the ruling pretty much goes against the other court rulings that happened before in this case. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Funnily, it did not work when it was Polish president being mocked like 10 years ago, or American president, or name a few more. Suddenly it works when it's Turkey involved, where majority of German muslims are coming from and where that state is blackmailing EU in terms of ME migrants crisis.

I feel like I'm missing some information so can you tell me the difference? The comic in the linked OP was charged under the slander law for a poem about a head of state but didn't a magazine recently run a cover of Trump beheading the State of Liberty. What's the difference? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Lexx Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 The difference is that Erdogan sued, Trump did not. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Always good to remember that Ben is young and his point of references are not the same as many of us. Charlie Hebdo was two years ago, and while I am sure he is familiar with it, it probably did not have the same impact if he was 12 or 13. That is something I always try and remind myself in the classroom. My students did not live through 9/11, Columbine, or many of the other major events that shaped the world we live in.

Zoraptor Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Posting articles from well known and confirmed fascist newspaper the Daily Mail? Why are you reading a commie newspaper, oby_one? Won't be suffering from anaemia any time soon with that dose of irony.
213374U Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Why are you reading a commie newspaper, oby_one? Probably the sidebar with all the trashy reality TV broads. I know it's why I do. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

It's not really the point, and it isn't a compliment or an insult, just a reminder that we all come from different perspectives, and age is a major part of that. edit: The age was a guess as to how old you were when the Charlie Hebdo massacre happened.

Ben No.3 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Refugees welcome...and now please go back. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4213978/Merkel-offers-cash-handouts-migrants-leave.html I hope this will not break Ben's little heart. Well Merkel is part of the Conservative party, and they are loosing votes both to the left (especially to Martin Schulz and the SPD, the social democrats) and to the right. She tries to get back the votes she lost, and since she's in the Conservative party, that's easier by going that more right winged protectionist direction. If she tried to get more votes on the left, she'd had to stand up against Schulz, and would at the same time loose even more votes to the nationalist AfD. Schulz is the former EU parliament president. He had to overcome much harshness in his life, but managed to get quite far within the world of politics. Although never having worked in the German government before, he receives increasing popularity amongst voters. Inside the Center left SPD, Schulz is part of the more left wing (of the party). If the SPD is to win the elections and Schulz will be appointed chancellor, he could potentially enter a correlation with the other big left parties in Germany, the ecological oriented Green Party and the socialists (and kinda left populist, although not to the extent the AfD is right populist) party called simply "the left".
