When there really is NO limit at all, then non of these cases should be problematic at all.

I was responding to the examples you brought up. These cases you brought up here infringe on the rights and liberties of other people. In the case of child porn, the child is not able to give concent, and therefore it is illegal. The case of praising Al Quaida is not illegal and is protected by the constitution, the offer of money to kill the President is illegal because you are solliciting for the murder of someone. Same case with the bank; you are threatening physical violence againt another person and property, therefore violating their rights under the constitution. I know the Germans are making the case of holocaust denial being incitement, but I cannot see how someone getting up on a podium and saying "the holocaust never happened" incites anyone.
