rehmwa 2 #29 April 30, 2012 since you are being small minded enough to be all nationalistic about it: funny little glass house - ever do a simple web search on "the dutch slave trade"? http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/review/545 here's a country that really didn't even need to be involved in the practice....yet chose to do so anyway ...

christelsabine 1 #30 April 30, 2012 Quote I would think that I am, which is why I commented on it. While I do realize Germany did not put Greece into the predicament they are in, Greece is very understandably reserved about Germany bailing them out while taking over the government there to make sure they "behave". No, again. Not to *behave*, what a nonsense. Together with other EU countries, Germany said NO to increase the Euro bailout fund for them. Really guys, you should read the news more closely and not only talk rubbish. dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gene03 0 #31 April 30, 2012 It's like the ancient bumper sticker said. "In 1934 Germany, Hitler required the registration of all firearms."

Marinus 0 #32 April 30, 2012 Yes, I know all about the Dutch slave trade. You on the other hand seem to think Americans had more rights to keep Negroes as cattle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You still made them ride in the back of the bus for two decades. just to disturb the silliness for a second - you're a decade off on the bus segregation issue- ended in late 1956, not 1965. And you're presuming the South is same as the entire country. Harlem or LA != Montgomery, Alabama. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, and in the United States of Bigotry, Negroes had to ride in the back of the bus until, when? 1965? Whatever your problem with the Nazis was, racism wasn't it. I'll take the back of the bus to any part of the oven, thank you very much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I agree with you on the free speech point, the rest of your post points out how Germany had to create a law so people would not rewrite history by denying the holocaust. And you call his post nonsensical?? Sheesh……"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
