What comes to mind that I think we all can relate to, is the experience we had over at Nukebox. It was OK to say just about anything you wanted to say, but the moment you said anything about the insanity, the lies, and the desceptions of the Iraq invasion, suddenly the aux came down (pun intended). I got banned from Nukebox twice. Yet if you go back and read what I wrote, you'll see that almost everything I wrote about was the truth.
So having said that, no I definitely, absolutely, positively do not view Germany as a bastion of free speech, in fact I'm debating if it is worse than Canada or not, now that I've seen the results of the Zundel "kangaroo trial".
The concept of a "democracy", well that's another topic where my views took a looog time to form. Don't worry I'm not a communist, a facists or a right wing nut job (and so on). I guess what I'm saying is that to paint "democracy" in a negative light is another one of those taboo subjects, but Look at the USA, it was supposed to be the pinicle of democracy and freedom, yet it more resembles a fascist state than anything else
(all 14 points).

I assume you are making a very important and valid point, or perhaps I am being way too clever for my own good and am seeing brilliance where none exists
