See Locs post.

u mad 'cause I'm rhymin' 'n ' stylin' on you son. The wittiness, and even cuteness of my delivery makes yours appear like unsugared porridge. :lol:

heck, you even implyin' that I answered a question before you axed it and even more remarkable, think that answer favors your team or sumpin'. it don't.

all sides get to speak, shake or jump in the lake. that you'd silence any of them is quite unfree, sad and a sign of fear, intolerance and cowardice.

use this a free learning experience, an introspective on the floss if you will. it's ok to be wrong. it's ok to be mad. ;-)

If only the same attitude had existed 70-80 years ago. Hell, the NPD even openly aim to dismantle parliamentary democracy in Germany, and call for a return of lands they consider German, from before the end of WWII.

The competition of ideas; clearly the people of Berlin are saying hell no to Third Reich 2.0

You should buy a fedora and read your poetry in moonbeam coffee shoppes.

The NDP has no connection with the NPD they are at opposite ends of the scale.
The NDP is a political party of the moderate left of center vent not a right wing party.
The NDP is and has always been a party of inclusion not exclusion especially by
race or anti Semitic. They are a social democratic party true but one of the left not
the right.
National Socialism is of the right wing, an example is Hitler's Workers Party. The
history of that is interesting. Hitler and his crowd took over the Workers Party and
retooled it into a National Socialist movement. It was based on race superiority,
anti Semitic and a closed society.
Democratic Socialism is a left of center movement
National Socialism (Nazi) is a right wing movement.

The problem with this movement is it is the same one the Nazis our families lost
loved to fighting a war of survival. The people of Germany in the broad sense of
the word want this scourge out of their midst and I don't see this as a free speech
issue the last time the world viewed them as just another group wanting to be heard
thirty million people died

BC NDP is extreme left with zero respect for democracy. Kind of polar opposite but with many similarities.

When I lived in Berlin there were always protests going on, only the protests that were sponsored by the left got any publicity even though there were many more attending left-of-center gatherings. As an example, Reagan visited Berlin while I was living there and I was in a throng of thousands who happily greeted him but the only thing you saw in the paper the next day was how a group of a couple dozen lefties trashed a street to protest Reagan's visit.

Thousands block far-right march in Berlin

Thousands of Berliners have blocked a group of right-wing extremists from staging a march through the German capital.

The Germans have never quite got the hang of democracy and free speech, have they?

Or, at least, the German Left.
