The governments of the world have gone mad.  We are facing a global revolution.  

@Andy, Your representation of freeing basic instincts makes me worry deeply. If you think that it comes down to killing a mother her children ... I think you should go and see a neurologist.
I'm from Belgium and it's sad. Europe is a experiment that started the wrong way,.... Open the borders while the wages are unequal. Of course for big companies this wasn't a problem, but for the people slowly it became. Czech is full of people from Russia/Czech working for western european companies there. Western europe is full of  people from Poland and other eastern european countries. Can't blame those people but now some politicians do. Everything is getting grimmy, and toleration goes down the drain... 
Of course those snowballs can't be linked directly to the european experiment, but the fact that extreme right parties are making a comeback, and resulting in these stupid laws is a link for me.... 
Just a clear sign of the rise of fascism... 

Sadly enough, this article is telling the truth. Last years the most crazy "regulations" became "law". Last november some school boys got in problems in my city, because they were.... eating a sandwich on the street. Anyhow, I still hope Belgium will become a better country, but nowadays I'm ashamed of my country.
