Germany could also force all food establishments to add a little bit of poison to the dishes. Would that be an argument against government regulating food preparation standards?

We can agree that bad things are bad, but that doesn’t really gives us much insight.

But Germany can't do that because it would be against Germany's constitution.

s/can't/probably wouldn't/

It is entirely possible for countries to do things which are against their constitution.

It's a hypothetical. A Constitution can be amended or ignored, can't it? My point is that a country is not your house. And citizens are not visitors. It's the wrong analogy and leads to bad conclusions.

You know that Germany does actually outlaw promotion of certain political parties, right? Hopefully you agree German law is bad or you're disagreeing with yourself.
