Guys really this law will never make it through the parliament so stop getting over yourselves. And some people are really talking about things they don't know anyhing about.

There IS freedom of speech in Germany and you can also say things that are unconstitutional as long as it isn't a Nazi-slogan.

Also Germany is a democratic country. Has there never been an American politician who had a bad idea?

There are loads of cases in which Germany is way more liberal than America. Think of abortion, same-sex unions, etc.

Additionally most laws have to be in line with EU standards anyways so that law wouldn't last long.

 

There have been 10s of 1000 of US politicans with bad ideas.

Abortion is legal in the US.  Are you talking about late term abortion?  I don't think you can decide to abort your baby a few weeks before it is due in the US.

Gay marriage is a state issue in the US.  For example, New Hampshire, the state to the west of it, the state to the east of it, and two of the state just south of it all have gay marriage.

You are right about some laws, though.  For example, isn't prostituion legal in Germany?  It's only legal in 2 US states.
