I recall learning about a very similar case on/about 2002 while I was living in Heidelberg, Germany. As then I'm not certain what to think or feel about such news as it is a matter for Germans to decide.


This is a very tricky issue actually.

I mean is it a "German internal issue" to decide if they want to enslave people who refused to support the National Socialist regime of the 30's and 40's? Or is it an international human rights issue?

And although this is different, the basic gist of the issue is the same, it revolves around slavery and utilizing the individual's fear of punishment to force them into committing objectionable acts (slavery).

Do Germans have any right to comment on US Politics? Yes? Why? --- Because US policy effects Germans directly as we have many treaties, organizations, military bases, etc, operating within German territory.

Well does German policy effect me here in the US? Yes, because one person enslaved anywhere is my responsibility to expose and fight against, as human beings and freedom is my arena.

We do not have a right to use force against Germany over silly politics when they make no direct threat to their neighbors, but we do indeed have a right to speak our minds on the Internet and stand up against such policies. If Germany doesn't like this, they can cut off their Internet connections to the rest of the world can't they?

They won't cut off the Net though because that would ruin their economy. So they are going to have to face our opinions as a result of the choice between international censorship and international free speech.

First..,Yes we have a Constitution its called "Grundgesetz"
More here from Wikipedia:
The Judiciary of Germany is based on the concept of the Rechtsstaat, in which the exercise of governmental power is constrained by law. Federal law delineates the structure of the judiciary, but the administration of most courts is regulated by the states of Germany (Länder) which are responsible for the lower levels of the court system; the highest appellate courts alone operate at the federal level. This federal-state division of labour allows the federation to ensure that laws are enforced equally throughout the country, whereas the central role of the states in administering the courts safeguards the independence of the judicial system from the federal government.

The German legal system is a civil law based on a comprehensive compendium of statutes, as compared to the common law systems. Germany uses an inquisitorial system where the judges are actively involved in investigating the facts of the case, as compared to an adversarial system where the role of the judge is primarily that of an impartial referee between the prosecutor and the defendant.
