My country values freedom of speech over your country's value of a convicted murderer's life. You think you've got a claim to moral arbiter?

I think that fining a person $1 dollar for making political speech is tantamount to torture--and my country agrees. My country's values are different than yours. According to the criteria you stated above, my country doesn't have to do jack shit (unless it chooses to, and it appears to have chosen to do so in this instance) about your torturous and barbaric law barring someone from denying the holocaust occurred.

I can't make it any more plain than that.



I completely agree with you
