disagree  Anglo-German (X): Maybe not - it all depends on whether or not there is an exclamation mark at the end of the German phrase.

Go home Singer!


Explanation:
I presume this refers to protests at the Australisn philosopher and animal rights activist Peter Singer who has faced strong opposition in Germany since he dared to sugggest that it is absurd to give certain groups of humans (e.g. the ancephalic, permanently comatose, etc.) full human rights and to give animals no rights at all. Some Germans see his ideas as dangerously reminiscent of the Nazis' programm to kill-off the severely handicapped.
