Six dead in Pozsony – Bratislava shooting

Dear Mr. Goldstein,

Please refrain from posting profane language on our site.

Thank you,
Andras Badics

hey you fu ck ing mo ng ol , bratislava is bratislava, you probably live in midleage you are probably provoking . We slovakians are in middle europe from before 8000 year. it is genetickly proven.
80% of slovaks has DNA from people who live in todays Slovakia and half of todays Hungary before 8000 year.

Mr. Badics, Pozsony is still a hungarian term for Bratislava. But there is no need to accentuate this fact in an article like this. You would probably not see an article in a serious german paper beginning with “In Gransk (formerly German Danzig)…”. Maybe only if the newspaper belonged to a specific group of people, honouring the values of german government during the WWII.

All the best to your journalist career!

Bratislava was unlawfully annexed from the Hungarians, therefore Mr. Badics has every right to refer to it being Pozsony (pronounced: poz-shon). Also someone please explain to me why the Slovakian anthem is an old Hungarian folksong? I don’t know whether Slovakia was ever independent, even now it (like Hungary) is merely a province of the European Union. So If my name is Tamas and you call me *******, it doesn’t change the fact that I’m still Tamas to anyone who wishes to call me Tamas. Reder unto Cesar what is Ceaser’s i.e.: Give Bratislava to the Slovakian speakers and let Hungarian’s refer to Bratislava as Pozsony. Ironically Bratislava, alias Pozsony was also one time the capital of Hungary, so once again I justify the reason of any Hungarian person, Hungarian-based publication to also name the city Pozsony. Also I don’t understand why the capital city does not have a signs saying Bratislava/Pozsony, because historically speWudigeßaking it should be justifiable. Many cities and towns in Hungary have dual names. For example the once predominantly German populated town of Budakeszi (just west of Budapest (sorry but the Slovakian name for Budapest slips my mind…), for the past 10+ years also carries the German name Wudigess (or Wudigeß), you have to see it to believe it . By the way Joshka Fisher was born in Wudigeß! (NB: I did not say Budakeszi – see?)

I know of some Hungariansresiding in the US whose birth certificate states their place of birth as Pozsony, in the northern provinces (aka Felvidek or upper region) as they were born before the Trianon treaty.
