    Why would it not work in USA? If you are member in a golf club you can be kicked out too if you behave badly.

    Good for Germany! We could use a law like that, but our liberal 'fascists' would never allow it. The only alternative might be a civil war. Some say we're in one now and the only thing hindering the liberal minority from taking complete control over people's lives are the armed militias. This is probably why liberals are so adamant about taking away people's guns.

    But... don't many liberals have guns, and many conservatives hate guns?
    And what part do guns play in political debates?
    I am... confused...

    But if liberals will not give others the right to speak, then aren't they hindering free speech?

    .
    This is my opinion from what I know.

    Our Second Amendment gives people the right to bear arms, and the majority of people that support it are conservative. The ones who want to take that right away are Democrats and therefore liberals. Liberals from what I have heard them say and from their actions, believe that they are more righteous and knowledgeable than the conservatives - who happen to be the majority.

    In order to impose their liberal views on the majority of the country they would have to go above the rights and freedoms that the Constitution gave to the States and that is the Federal government. This is what liberals have been doing.


    Our Constitution was meant to protect us from the tyranny of a strong and authoritative Federal government. This is why we have the First Amendment that states the Federal government cannot interfere in religious matters, and also why we have the Second Amendment that allows people to bear arms to protect themselves from a tyrannical government.

    From what I gathered there are militias in this country that are heavily armed and they are ultra conservatives (red necks). The liberal politicians know they can't impose their views on the majority of the people as long as they exist so they want to outlaw guns.

    It's a smart law. The last time there were militant liberals (communists) in Germany was in the 30's, and they ended up opposing them with a bunch of nationalists (Nazis). The conservatives in the US are not nationalists, but we do believe in our Constitution and the freedoms given to the American people. I'm almost positive though that there are 'Red Neck' militias that will take action if anyone tries to take those rights away.

    Good show, freedom of speech does not afford one the heckler's veto.

    No, its the heckler's veto that's being ended. You don't get to disrupt a class that others are attending because you want to protest. You will be excluded from the classroom for causing a disruption. You don't get to shout down your prof, that's unprofessional conduct and will get you excluded for causing a disruption.

    They can SAY whatever they want, they just have to let OTHERS DO THE SAME and wait for their turn to speak.

    Only in the head of conservatives will one find liberals mistakenly id'd as commies. Yes, the cons in America are nationalists. 'Red Neck' militias will be destroyed if they "take action."

    The problem with the major universities here, is that the professors are all liberals. It doesn't mean though they are the best and brightest except in their own minds, but rather that the universities would only hire professors with liberal views. My grandson said he wouldn't dare give an imposing view or it would show on his grades.

    How can conservatives who believe in a strict interpretation of a Constitution that guarantees the rights and freedoms of all the American people be nationalists? Wouldn't that be an oxymoron?

    No one said liberals are communists, but communism does hold many liberal social views and one world order political views since they were 'internationalists'. As for the Red Neck militias, most are vets and if we did enter a civil war, there is no way the army would support a liberal government.

    I want to make a correction on my post. I said imposing view when I meant opposing view.

    That's actually a pretty common sense law. Looks like Germanistan is finally climbing out of 3rd world status

    I agree with the new law but your title should have been censored by the moderators as it is not the original title from your article.

    There shouldn't be a non-English source in the OP anyway.
    The OP is misleading in several ways. This law, as the article says, is concerned with North Rhine-Westphalia, not Germany as a whole.
    It's not a law that bans far left people from university. It's a new passus in an already existing law that regulates how to deal with people who engage in the suppression of freedom of speech at universities. These could be far left, far right, or far whatever people. In the past, however, there have been some radical far left groups that, sometimes massively, tried to disrupt events at some universities, so much that guest speakers asked for police protection in some cases. This new passus is going to deal with this behaviour and defines the legal consequences for these people.

    I agree with you which is why I said the title does not fit the content of the article posted by the OP. This is why there is a rule requiring new threads start with the article's actual title. The rule does not apply if posting under the Opinions forum.

    Liberals do not want the right to free speech, they want to deny the right to free speech to others....
    The basic foundations of liberalism is denial of rights to others.....

    Good for the state of North Rhine-Westphalia for banning those who want to ban free speech, interrupt free speech or violently opposes free speech.

    Its about time someone with common sense has the guts to stand up the obnoxious left

    I for one applaud this action.

    I agree that any factional civil war is likely to end badly for the faction responsible, but I do think that in any broadly popular revolution the government will realise that going door to door and killing men, women and children is more difficult than they thought.
