Angela Merkel New Years Speech (with an ironic twist)

[Deleted]

What about them? Say what you want, be what you want. Your freedom extends only till it infringes on someone elses freedom.

Thats interesting after you called a christian politician "crazy and bizarre".. just because she wont run rampage and deport all refugees.

[Kiri]

Also, this isn't isolated to being a German or Merkel thing. The politicians in the USA (and I am sure the rest of the world) are just as hypocritical.

She said to combat the world filled with hate that terrorists are trying to create with compassion, to not let the terrorists dictate how to live our lives. At no point does she say that one should meet incoming bombs and bullets with hugs or anything, as your source is trying to imply:P

No, it is true. You just may not buy half automatic rifles. Or guns. From public sources.

We are not americans. We dont believe everyone should own a machine gun because he is scared of other ethnicies.

We cannot buy automatic rifles.

Also I am not sure why ethnicity was even brought up.

Religion does not infringe on freedom, I don't know about Germany, but here freedom of religion has been in the constitution since the 16th century.

Word. That being said, it breaks my heart that I'll likely never get to target practice with one of these:

But you can allow people the basic human right of protecting themselves without relying on others.

Which you can. You don't need firearms for that.

[Tomyris]

I see nothing wrong with the speech. The moment a leader starts telling to population they should hate is the moment he/she should step down. People do not need that to start hating on a certain group or nation, they just need to watch the news.
And what does this have to do with her being protected?They are targets by default.

I did what? Where? Are you confusing me for someone else?

[JohnBrown1917]

She is, by spouting asinine solutions to combat it.

Well, if you refuse to understand what she said, that is not my problem.

Thalys train attack, all of the brave citizens now proud Knights of the Legion of Honour.

Oh yeah I remember that one, brave people indeed.

Because statistics, yo. Maybe you should read about it, what with how much you praise guns.

[Deleted]

Because that is what the american "right to bear arms" was based on. The white man being scared of indians and mexicans.

[JohnBrown1917]

In the context of criminals and the tools they use, your statement is a half truth.

You're still not answering why Germans are not allowed to defend themselves.

[TITAN308]

Because that is where the american "right to bear arms" was based on. The white man being scared of indians and mexicans.

Uh what... lmao

I mean.... lol WAT

[MasterHamster]

Sigh

Didn't we get enough malicious word twisting in the 2016 election? You'd have to be mentally challenged to not understand what she meant.
I've been skeptical towards this mass migration for a long time due to societal and economical effects, but at least try not be willfully ignorant.

Word twisting is only wrong when its done to god emperor Trump.

On topic, forgot what I was about to write when Corgis were mentioned...

This is now a Corgi thread!

Uh what... lmao

I mean.... lol WAT

To be fair, I immediately got a gun rights vibe too. Maybe I'm too biased.

Well the problem is, last I checked the American vs English revolution was a bunch of white guys. Not Indians and Mexicans.

I suggest you stop reading utter garbage like the express. Its pretty well known as a fake news outlet. Here's just one of its "stellar" headlines-

Actually I don't think anyone should argue that they shouldn't be unprotected. I don't think that is the point though.

if they want protection, they should pay for it themselves. they can EASILY afford it. normal people sometimes get death threats too, and are sometimes also in danger. I don't see the government paying for their protection...
