sedative Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 A Danish pizzeria has banned French and Germans from dining there because of their country's stance on a war with Iraq.Aage Bjerre, who owns Aage's Pizza on the island of Fanoe, said he's tired of French and German attitudes toward the United States.He's put two homemade drawings on the shop door, one a silhouette of a man coloured red, yellow and black for Germany and another in the red, white and blue for France.Both silhouettes have a bar across them.He says Germans will be allowed in if their country joins a war on Iraq, but the French will have to endure a lifetime ban.Aage said: "Hadn't the United States helped Europe in defeating Germany, there would have been photos of Adolf Hitler hanging on the walls around here."The ban has yet to affect his business because the tourist season only starts after Easter and peaks during the summer. "I do what my conscience tells me to do," he said.He added: "Frenchmen have a lifetime ban here. Their attitude toward the United States will never change."http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_75438...u=news.quirkiesmeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SABERCAT Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Kinda discriminatory, wouldn't you say? I don't think anyone should be banned from anything because of their opinions. I might not agree with others on things but I always respect their opinions....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piaqt Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 One question: Does Denmark get more tourists from the US or France and Germany? Because this sounds like a publicity campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zivan56 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 This would be classified as discrimination; hope someone sue's the pizzeria owner for being an id***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koala6 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 hi @ll :We're having this theme since the second world war in germany. Not everyone in a country is sharing the actual political opinions... the beginning of very strange things can be read in the book called "the wave" (Die Welle).Lots of people haven't learned anything from pastsorry,Koala6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
