Please show me the word "but" anywhere in the paragraph
Something must be lost in the translation.
Free speech: I say the Holocaust did not happen and people argue with me.
Not free speech: I say the Holocaust did not happen and I am arrested.
That help?

you know perfectly well in both cases what i mean - as i also said it before already...
but i will clarify it for you if you like:
yes, there are people who do not like this law, mostly it's those people who are affected by it. if it makes it better for you i will say: the majority of the people do support it. i have yet to find someone in my personal circle who would say he is against it, but i don't hang around with nazis so maybe my views are limited
and second: we do have free speech and you will not tell me anything else. i live here, it's my country. and the one case that limits the freedom of speech is because of our special history. and that will not change. be happy about it, it's been the americans who brought us freedom and democracy. and free speech.
