Damn. If it weren't for that whole pesky needing-the-port-at-Antwerp thing, we could have left that worthless country to the nazis.

Now that France has elected a decent Prez and is doing it's damdest to mend fences with us, I say we start hating Belgium now. Chocolate eating appeasement monkeys...

Belgium--it's the new France!

I know it's in Europe and there is no shocker here. It still makes me want to issue a fatwa against the pussies running that continent.

Belgium--it's the new France!

Belgium is an artificial construct. The Walloons are approximately French and the Flemish are approximately Dutch. Unfortunately, the Walloons dominate politically.

Right now I'm hating anything remotely Belgian--waffles, Peggy Fleming, Ian Fleming, that stuff in my throat when I get a cold, Brussels sprouts, Kim Clijsters, Anthony van Dyck, Eddie and Axel Merckx and flags that are black-yellow-red.

Freddie Thielemans can kiss my ezel (that's Dutch, Freddie...)

Had it not been for some foolish intereference on the part of the Brits and the Americans, Belgium would be what it is supposed to be: A province of the German Reich.

Never forget, also, that according to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "Belgium" is the most offensive word in the universe.

In the immortal words of Monty Python:

"Well now, the result of last week's competition when we asked you to find a derogatory term for the Belgians. Well, the response was enormous and we took quite a long time sorting out the winners. There were some very clever entries. Mrs Hatred of Leicester Said 'let's not call them anything, let's just ignore them' ... (applause starts vigorously, but he holds his hands up for silence) ... and a Mr St John of Huntingdon said he couldn't think of anything more derogatory than Belgians. (cheers and applause; a girl in showgirl costume comes on and holds up placards through next bit) But in the end we settled on three choices: number three ... the Sprouts (placard 'The Sprouts'), sent in by Mrs Vicious of Hastings... very nice ; number two..... the Phlegms (placard) ... from Mrs Childmolester of Worthing; but the winner was undoubtedly from Mrs No-Supper-For-You from Norwood in Lancashire... Miserable Fat Belgian Bastards. (placard; roar of applause) "

I realize that people -okay, you- are allowed to cuss on this blog. However, the things running through my brain after reading this article are all bad. Very, very bad. So bad that I'm afraid my keyboard might melt if I attempted to type them. How much leeway are us commenters allowed with regards to profanity? Assuming that we butter you up by saying how cute your bikini wearing dogs are first, of course.

The only thing that Belgium was ever good for was beer, and we have that covered now.

Yes, Langtry, let's all that the European Union, otherwise known as the "We hate everyone who is European and American club" for totally killing whatever brains and balls Europe use to have.

Weren't these the guys who had fucking crusades once??? What the hell has happened to all of them?

Wonder how much of Europe will have to be burning before they wake up and smell the coffee?

Go ahead, Physics Geek, cuss like a drunken sailor on shore leave in the Phillipines for three days (and that's a lot of cussing)

WTF is a Belgian? I thought they were just Jolly Fat French Elves from fairy tales who made rather over-rated Chocolates, you know like Euro-Oompaloompas or something? You mean they really exist??

Have fun ;)!

You all are retards... :)

Uhh... that previous line was supposed to go in the previous post comments section. Now I guess I am the retard...

Physics Geek - you may cuss at the same level at which I cuss, which is pretty fuckin' high. But no c*nt, no m*therf*cker. Which is what the people in question are, but you know what I mean.

Belgians are queer. Just wanted to mention that.

Myradiohead - LOL. I can move it if you want but I think it's kinda funny here. :) You did something totally retarded, hehe. Just like me.

Ho ho ho ho.
The Belgians are banning commemorations for 9/11 out of fear of the Muslim's "backlash".

Substitute "the Kayser", "the Nazis", "the Soviets" and all the snivelling from them looks the same for generations.

Wouldn't you be so proud to be a Belgian?

We are all gods retards, myradiohead

Ignorant: I'm sure back in the bloodline somewhere is a relative of some German (pronounced: CHerr-MAN) Kaiser, and he'd be totally pissed to be called a "Kayser". But we had to cancel the demonstrations about it for fear of backlash.

Get ready, another long Conan post (no offense to those who call me otcconan, because that's what I post under, but really OTC is my gaming clan and Conan the Librarian is my handle...but for short it's otcconan on every message board and blog...an aside that you probably don't need but anyway, you can call me C for short as others do and it's cool, and saves you typing).

First off, I am proud to say I am not of Belgian heritage, but damn close. My name is of Dutch origin, though the majority of my ancestors were from Germany. If pressed on the issue I will say I'm German, which explains the blonde hair and blue eyes. I blame being short on my mother's side of the family (mostly English with some Scots in there as well). I'm a mutt like most Americans, but most of my dominant genes, including the hard-headedness and hot temper, are German.

So I obviously have little patience for the Belgians, who I consider the uncivilized part of France (which itself is pretty uncivilized, these days).

But my mother, she's English, pretty easy-going, although prone to temper tantrums just like any other woman. And again I digress. Still, she decided a few years back it would be cool to host a foreign exchange student. All the kids had moved out, and she had a bit of empty nest syndrome. Well, the kid they sent over was Belgian. He didn't speak English too well, but he stayed for 9 months, or maybe a year, I forget, and he was actually pretty cool. We'd have cool conversations, talk about all kinds of things, went to some Texas A&M football games, he was a good kid. After he went back to Belgium, he joined the army, got married, and had a couple kids. He didn't have a bad word to say about America. He loved it here.

Then my mom got another one. Second one, complained all the time about life in America, hated the place, barely spoke to my dad (to the point of disrespect), and generally avoided getting along with anyone. He liked me, only because he wanted to learn how to play guitar, and I do, so I became his defacto teacher. But he was left handed and refused to play left handed, which made teaching him impossible, and his only redeeming feature was the fact that he loved the San Antonio Spurs. Of course, this was because Tony Parker is French. That's right, the first kid, was more of a Dutchman, the second kid, was a wannabe Frenchman.

So I've seen both sides. I WANT to like the Belgians, but they seem to cowtow to the Islamic idiots every chance they get. They don't see the damage this behavior has already done to France. In fact, they probably figure that anything that the French do is behavior that should be emulated.

And you know, there is still this large part of the Western world that still thinks French culture is the pinnacle. French wine, cheeses, etc. Well, they make better wine in Chile, California, and Australia, and better cheese in California and Wisconsin. I have little tolerance for the French, in general, though some of them are ok, as with any culture. I could say the same thing about most other cultures...even though I don't have much patience for the countries in the South Pacific, I had a buddy in college from Malaysia who was pretty damn cool. You generally judge individuals on their merits, and you come out ahead in life. But I can look at a culture, or a country as a whole, and see a whole lot to frown upon.

Oddly, that first exchange student, when I asked him why he liked America? He said it was because it was full of Americans.

So take that for what it's worth. Belgium can suck my balls.

You know, Dr Evil is from Belgium. And, the country does share a border with Holland (the most evil people of all).

Why don't they tell the fat poofter mayor to shove his permit and hold the demonstration anyway? Fuck him.

Damn Seppo stole my Dr.Evil comment lol it always comes to mind when I think of the dutch(even though I apparently have some dutch blood,but I stick to the mostly Scot-Irish and ignore the rest heh)

"I know it's in Europe and there is no shocker here. It still makes me want to issue a fatwa against the pussies running that continent. "

I agree completely and think a boycott against Brussel Sprouts are in order..(doubt any tears will be shed over missin those for dinner ugh) but it's a sacrifice that needs to be made..even if they don't come from Brussels;)

Oh and their chocolate is indeed overrated.

p.s. I'd love to see a whole bunch of people in Brussels ignore the ban and tell that bitch of a leader to 'stick it as far as it will go'(cause that would be awesome) but I doubt that will happen...hey isnt Arnold from Brussels? he should say something to make the people revolt heh.

Even though there was a voting anomolie in France and they elected someone who isn't a complete commie ... I still consider them (moldy, runny) cheese-eating surrender-monkeys.
And Belgians ... good beermakers nonwithstanding ... are WANNABE cheese-eating surrender-monkeys!
