Where are the spongebob memes?

We have all kinds in my city: Medieval cobblestone, brick roads and asphalt. As a cyclist I have to tell you that I hate all kinds of brick roads that I have encountered. Even when they're not the horrible middle age version, they will often get deformed by roots or depression of the ground quite rapidly, making them even more bumpy. For this reason I think, I saw in Sweden in an otherwise bricky city center that they had a narrow asphalt lane on the side of the road for cyclists. I was just amazed that someone would spend that much thought into what's great for cyclists. As a cyclist I really love asphalt :D

But the whole meme is pointless. Seems like calling out that these people shouldn't have been allowed to be part of a new society after the nazi state was destroyed. It's not that easy no matter how much people like to draw history and the world as a whole as black and white.

For example Hallstein: He was never a member of the NSDAP. Yes, he fought in WW2 for the Germans but after the war he was a leading figure in the new democratic German academia and afterwards worked towards having Germany integrated into international institutions.

For anyone who thinks it's a good idea to punish every last one who was part of a criminal, even cruel and inhumane movement: Look at Iraq. So many people who were part of Saddams party, even teachers, bureaucrats and whatnot... They where mostly expelled from society and a potential rehabilitation. And the direct consequence of these actions was the formation of ISIS because these people didn't have a perspective in the new state and society. So being very consequential, as all things, can have very unforeseen (but actually quite forseeable) consequences.

Since when does the Rand corporation publish research focusing on income inequality?

Lol thats literally what I say to the flies. But my death/hit ratio is probably 0.3.

What is a "serious gamer"?

Pimp my staff

That's right, it depends on the place. Very much boils down to rural vs. urban (as in so many countries) but it's also a bit worse in Eastern Germany.

However the comment above is not wrong, in that there are definitive limits to free speech in German law so that you have more legal levers against nazis before they turn to violence.

Thank you so much. This inspires me to also revive my classic one day when I have the time for it. I still use it every now and then but the battery life has of course gone down. Didn't know that iPod modding was a thing, hahaha.

Corn me up snake

Und auf Dauer auch schlauer.

I like your way of thought. We really have to give nature back in the future after everything we received.

Saruman can brew it.

Whats "free speech" got to do with right wing? U mad?

Hahaha, first it was "that never happened!" but now it's "that was only 2 days ago!".

You should really think about the logic of your arguments.

Whataboutism is a stupid concept in itself as this term is now hurled at anyone who wants to make a comparison or add some context to an argument. So I'd say using the word "whataboutism" isn't helpful.

Typical aggressive online SJW behaviour. Preaching absolute truths and spitting condemnations as if no one had thought about it before. Obviously, the world can be best explained without any nuance or shades of grey ¯(ツ)/¯

You're totally right and the discussion (as so many these days) is completely bollocks.

Since when should the public have the right to demand what an artist ought to put in his work or must not omit. I don't get it...

Multiple arguments have been made: Basic human rights, the need for a differentiated view on religions instead of sweeping condemnation of a single religion whatsoever, etc.

With no word I or the user before me excused any crime committed by christians. So why imply that we did just that?

You know nothing about our beliefs. We could be agnostics of even atheists. Yet you insinuate we are like cult members in a direct ad hominem attack... Why?

You can condemn crimes committed by religious people all day, perfectly okay. But it is hate speech to discriminate against the beliefs of ALL members of a religion no matter who they are of what they did.

If you think that truly all christians are hypocritical and evil, you are being extremly unfair. And if you think that the world would be a better and less violent place if only religions didn't exist, you're delusional.

I only see one hateful person in this thread and it isn't the guy rightfully pointing out basic human and constitutional rights whom you are trying to frame as a fascist.

It's very simplistic to blame religions for heinous crimes committed by humans over centuries. Crimes have been committed in the name of every religion on earth.

But in every religion there are countless good-hearted people who try hard to live up to their ideals. There is much more to religion than just bigots.

So please: Stop your hatespeech.
