This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Nazi camps in Poland are not Polish
On the question of "did those Germans know about the camps", I would say any acceptably accurate answer must include some distinctions between different points in time and, as tedious as it is, some degree of acknowledgement that "the German people" are not some sort of homogeneous mass, and... -

Nazi camps in Poland are not Polish
Okay, so you are saying, because the German citizens paid taxes to their dictatorial, criminal regime, they were all criminal? Now that's a most fair, balanced, and careful judgement from someone who obviously goes to great lengths to avoid simple-mindedly lumping together all people from one... -

Nazi camps in Poland are not Polish
And it is right to believe that the people loved the dead slaves in the factories or the deportation of Jews? Because all those Germans were sadistic nazi creatures? Give me a ****ing break. -

Nazi camps in Poland are not Polish
Now THAT I find unacceptable. The fate of the Polish people in WW2 must be treated with respect. There really is no telling the Polish people: You should seriously apologize for that. Now, however ridiculous the Polish government initiative is, I believe the general Polish sensitivity about... -

Nazi camps in Poland are not Polish
And any German who does not sign this off is a closet nazi or at least highly suspicious, right? Give me a break. Look, the prettifying of the nazi past in Germany generally stopped in the 1960s. I know about the large numbers of Germans who went along with the nazis, for various reasons. I have... -

Nazi camps in Poland are not Polish
Yes, absolutely right, the Polish who suffered heavily under WW2 must certainly not be unfairly blamed. And neither should the Germans, who are more than 80 million people living in the 21st century, who do not believe in the Nazi ****, who did not exterminate anyone, and who are not in any... -

Nazi camps in Poland are not Polish
This is all a phony dabate. Nobody doubts that the death camps that were in Poland were built by the German nazi regime. Any talk of "Polish death camps" in any international or German media is caused by carelessness and not in an attempt to rewrite history and blame the holocaust on Poland. Of... -

Anti Fascist Protests In Germany
The nazis pretty much do that ("nationaler Sozialismus" instead of "Nationalsozialismus"). But the main reasons why they draw support from some people are completely different ones. -

Anti Fascist Protests In Germany
There are numerous and large public counter demonstrations against the nazis. It's not just AntiFa, it's churches, trade unions, citizens' initiatives, political parties, large groups of people. Not every time the nazis demonstrate, but quite often. -

Anti Fascist Protests In Germany
That's exactly what we see happening, and I fully agree with you. Obviously you can't ban nazi thought. It mainly is about making things harder for people who want to promote nazi ideas. I don't think it works though because the nazis can then portray themselves as victims of state repression... -

Anti Fascist Protests In Germany
Like you, I'm very much on the "free speech even for nazis" side of the discussion. Still what you have to keep in mind is that the nazis used the political freedoms they had in the Weimar Republic to get rid of democracy all together. That historical experience led to the concept of "Wehrhafte... -

Norway to bring in circumcision law
Being an anti-semite and being branded as an anti-semite by some organization is two completely different things. Of course you can be in favor of a ban on circumcision without being an anti-semite. But if you want to silence the people with opinions like yours, you find ways of inventing... -

Norway to bring in circumcision law
We had the exact same discussion in Germany a year or so ago. Here's how it went: 1) A Cologne court ruled that medically unnecessary circumcision was illegal in the case of a muslim boy where it had led to complications. 2) The "nazi" racket (here is one of many shrill examples of somebody... -

Who is your nation's greatest ally? [W:151]
From a German perspective, France, Poland, and the United States France is the country that Germany has the closest cooperation with on a political level and the effort from both sides to overcome centuries of enmity has led to an extremely dense network of French-German connections from the...
