    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.
