According to Goldie, modern day Germany is a horrific communist regime on the level of the worst days of the Soviet Union while apartheid South Africa was an unaparalled paradise the whole world should emulate.

Modern Germany is a very intereesting place.

Oh, and Born on the Floor - every time one of the roving young Republicans says something questionable, I don't know that we need a poll.

The answer is clearly apartheid South Africa, as is evidenced by the millions upon millions of dissenters who are murdered for opposing the government in modern day Germany.

What's most hilarious is the basis of AuH2O's argument is that basically Germany has banned Neo-Nazi organizations. Because we all know that in apartheid South Africa political activity was never banned or anything.

Well, at least he bases it on something that actually happened, unlike his accusations that Canada is the same.

Deutschland naturlich!

Anyway, it seems every time Opebo, Philip, Goldie, or Bandit make a silly post that they truly believe in, someone has to make it into a poll, heh.  Although not so much Philip anymore.

How dare anyone accuse Germany of being a terrible place to live.

Iran is very similar to Germany, except the Iranian government cares more about its people.

you'll have to talk to Goldie on that one.

Germany is an occupation regime. Every day it rules is a massive crime against humanity... Schroeder deserves nothing but the gallows. Many European nations are the same.

oh and the first paragraph of his post:

It's not just banning parties. It's suing them, sabotaging them, arrested their members on false charges, putting government spies in their organization, etc.

Oh yes, we all know none of that EVER happened under apartheid. LOL!

I believe BRTD is referring to the fact that the Africans were slaves of the whites.

As for modern Germany, it is much more free than modern America.

Option 2. The crime rate was MUCH lower and you can see the results when you let the criminals run the prison.

For whites, no difference. For blacks, I'm not sure if Germany has many, except football players maybe.
