Get back to me after you present a forged travel document in Germany, or show up at the airport with a device that will look to everyone else like a bomb. This ought to be good.

And I'd rather be corralled into a "free speech zone" for expressing a countervailing political opinion than arrested and indicted for it, as you would be in Germany.




The guy who _made the website_ that outputs PDFs of boarding passes was the one who got raided. It wasn't "present[ing] forged travel document[s]".

The people at the RNC _were_ arrested.

My point stands. If anything, you just reinforced it by pointing that out.

And then what happened to them?

The reality is, one nanny state is as good/bad as another. You can point to no objective evidence that Germany is a more enlightened, tolerant, or liberal nation than the US. It's great that you're happy there, but you shouldn't have to indulge in rhetorical gymnastics to affirm your decision to stay... and you can't possibly expect such cherry-picking to convince anyone else.
