Finally, the anglo-saxon media propaganda seems to get some result, doesn't it?

I really don't understand why some people see everything as a personal problem. The German / French government as well as their population disagrees with the US' governments opinion on how to handle the war issue. But that doesn't mean that we've any problem with US American citizens. So why does that Danish man think that he's to punish us by banning us from visiting his restaurant? What's about all the Danish people that don't agree with the agreement of their government? Are they going to be banned, too? I fear they aren't. This makes me really sad.

This story is ridiculous, the man is serving pizzas on an island with a population of about a hundred people. This island, and very likely himself, is depending economically on the German tourists, so he is going to be a very unpopular man.

More than half of the danish people disagree with the government, so I guess he will soon be out of customers.

I'm sure you would, but if you went to enter a pub or restaurant in (say) London and were told "Sorry, no Americans. I don't agree with your Government's policies" I'm sure you'd feel highly offended - and quite rightly so. Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

Wouldn't you be shocked if a shopkeeper refused to serve jews, or black people?

:-) Yes, or more accurately: Finally, someone has managed to see past the left-wing media propaganda. Although his actions are just foolish. Regards, Alvaro

Shocked ? No... PO'ed yes. I'd vote against him the same way. Unfortunately I believe that everyone has the right to be an *sshole. I just am not going to support them. (No I'm not a racist) I just don't think the government has the right to tell people what to think. Uptight Ex-Military Republican married to a Commie Lib - How weird is that?

I think the Law (not the government) has the right to tell people there are some ideas which can't be propagated (incitation to racial hatred and xenophobia)

This is clearly the owner making a political statement and I would be happy he lived in a country that allowed him to do so. I do not get offended by those CPians who have a different view than mine, if they are civil in the processes. "I will find a new sig someday."

I do not think the corollary to being a racist (being unacceptable to society in general) vs an individual making a political statement is correct in this case. "I will find a new sig someday."
