    Kennedy was a hit for trying to speak German.

    There is a huge difference between having a single language for road signs, textbooks, government administration and fining someone a years salary for speaking another language at a public institution.

    That it is aimed squarely at a resident minority and not tourism also reeks of racism. There are far worse things then terrorism, one of which is governments creating racist institutions.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    I know what you mean, all you need to be is "dark skinned" and running late for a train and pow. You get shot.

    I can't believe people axtually think this is a good idea.

    Not only is it illegal, racist and stupid, but it will stir up nationaly hatreds across eastern Europe. Oh and the Hungarians there have een around for a long, long time.
