> Your holier than thou attitude and covered insults are offensive to me. I am totally entitled to my opinion and have a right to liken it to dictatorship,
Either they are a dictatorship or not--the form of government a state has is not an opinion. I did my best to draw out the distortions in your factual information that you have blown up to make it appear Germany is like the Soviet Union. It is a profoundly distorted picture, objectively so, in part because you deny that other cultures are allowed to make their own decisions about how they run their society without running afoul of your very narrow and self-satisfied definition of what universal human rights entails. Anything that is a difference from us (home-schooling, vitamins, etc.) is a sign of a fundamental denial of human rights.
This is the kind of nonsense that leads to aggressive wars to "spread our god-given way of life" and it's why Americans are called "ugly Americans" wherever we go. Its arrogant and refuses to understand different points of view by ruling them out of court in advance. You began by viciously insulting an entire country as a dictatorship that has taken remarkable efforts to overcome the period in their history when they had a real dictatorship. It's a cheap and insulting take on a modern, vibrant, democratic country (like calling the French cowards for losing to the Germans in WWII when many exhibited extreme courage in the Underground). You don't just state that you would prefer to live in a country where you can get megadoses of vitamins and home schooling, but that any country that does not allow for these is an oppressive dictatorship. Then when I try to disentangle your mix of cherry-picked facts and cultural prejudices, you throw a fit and shout "it's just my opinion!"
