And please don't act like it's "those other countries" that have issues and your own hasn't.

I fail to see how you can perceive this as "new" development. The laws that can get you in jail for that kind of thing are in place for a long time here in germany.
And laws like this make it easy for governments to put entire lists of words or phrases on the jail-time list. Politicians in the U.S. want climate change "deniers" equivocated with holocaust deniers. A big slippery slope.
That's weird considering you agreed with almost everything I said.
Your argument about the laws being in Germany for a "long long time" do not lend credibility to the laws themselves. An unjust law is an unjust law.
Don't think the media only report bullshit when it comes to discussing american gun control laws.

They are taking children away from their parents in Germany because they were being home schooled.
Yep. Germany is a country were going to school is obligatory by law. As with the other thing you mentioned above, it's been that way for long long time. Nothing new here either.
Yeah, it's obligatory here as well. The difference is that the rights of a child's parents are not subservient to the state. I can home school my child here and not be thrown in jail or have my children taken from me. MY rights come first here, not the state.
It won't be long, relatively speaking, I'm sure. Christians are being persecuted everywhere.
Sounds like the beginnings of a police state to me!
Sounds more like you should check your sources of information. Yeah, it's obligatory here as well. The difference is that the rights of a child's parents are not subservient to the state.

The bible is going to be outlawed as hate speech in Europe. Ok, and the pope will join the Dalai Lama in his exile.

No. Of course EUROPE doesn't have any issues. We all know America is the great evil of the world.
