Great, your opinion from outside, guess you live in Germany. So believe what you read and hear in the media. I live here in Barcelona with a Catalan Family, with inside in the Catalan-Spain problem that goes far back then just half a year when all the European media jumped on it. One more thing @joeblue Why do you flag my post and downgrade it? Just because you don't like my opinion? Well, you are a newbie, just like me... but I understood already that people like you will not make it that long here on Steemit, posting nothing by themselves but flagging other. We have seen before that this is not well seen here in our community. Looking forward to some content from you, lets see if I share your point of view or not!?

TODAY I FEEL ASHAMED TO BE GERMAN
Hi @hauptmann, Thank you for taking the time to respond. Unfortunately, it seems I haven't been able to get my point across to you. I started and ended by pointing out that I feel things like this case are not always black or white wanting to say that they shoud be approached with care because it is way to easy to provoke reactions that might have real life consequences. My downvote had nothing to do with your opinion. In fact, we might share the same opinion on the broader topic. We defenitaly do when it comes to free speach. But when someone responds to (politically sensitive) news events I define good content as content that adheres to basic journalistic principles like clearly differentiating your own opinion, precieved facts and actual facts and putting in effort to stay as objective as possible. It is my opinion that you did not do this and therefore I felt that the reward is not justified. To downvote is just as legitimate as to upvote. I try to vote based on my perception of the content quality although I am sure that I too fail to be impartial from time to time. Btw. comments are also considered content (in fact they count as posts). Evaluating viewer's contributions is what curator rewards are for and you are free to downvote my comments (hopefully due to quality rather than opinion). That's why I put in effort like researching information when I respond to content ... Have a good one.
