Aug 10, 2008 - "Vlaams Belang" will make sure that isn't going to happen.

belgianbabes Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - Middle Ages? Try the 19th & 2Oth century.. and in Brussels it's still going on.

belgianbabes Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - belgium is the future of islam... about to burst, fractured into more manageable & less offensive parts. seriously, religion has no place in a good heart. religion is a substitute for people who can't do the right thing by their own volition.

belgianbabes Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - brussels is not exactly an example for belgium as a whole :) it's an anomaly, not the norm.

belgianbabes Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - we don't need a far-right extremist party to stand up to extremism.. if the time comes the common man will speak out and take action.

belgianbabes Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - how wonderfully naive... maybe if the francophones and their government lived up to the problems instead of relegating any rational dialogue to fix those problems as stupid, we wouldn't have to go for independence.

belgianbabes Says:

Aug 11, 2008 - en waar 17.000.000.000 vlaamse € thuis zijn...

Aug 12, 2008 - If the Flanders becomes independent, firstly it will not have Brussels and will be apart from the European Union because Europe will not accept a racist and intolerant country in the union! For the human rights, you are not better than Turkey.

EthnoMoods Says:

Aug 12, 2008 - That comment alone proves how ignorant & easily manipulated you are.

EthnoMoods Says:

Aug 12, 2008 - Funny, a babelover with an opinion. Only in Belgium :)

Jacques8022 Says:

Aug 12, 2008 - Sorry, I forgot hypocritical and dishonest persons...

Jacques8022 Says:

Aug 14, 2008 - The babelover fuck you man!!! Separatisten BARST !!!!!!!!!!!!!

keuteltjes Says:

Aug 14, 2008 - nice! i don't like brussels that much but this video does present it very well.

rcargn Says:

Aug 23, 2008 - These political groups play with your emotions and bring out the worst out of people. Stop watching negative telivision, radio broadcasts, etc. I hope the politicians settle these matters soon. I am originally from Liege\Belgium, living in Los Angeles, from Flemish, Italian parents. I have heard my fair share of racist remarks over the years but they don't serve any good. I agree with EthnoMood's comment, that people are generally ignorant and easily manipulated.

flomocean Says:

Aug 25, 2008 - what is wrong with you, jacques..

flomocean Says:

Aug 26, 2008 - i love belgium, hate the communal problems. maybe we really should go independent and be done with it. our image is bad enough as it is, and is only getting worse.

flomocean Says:

Aug 26, 2008 - It's the Francophones that haul out the racism card (which is hilarious if you know Belgian history and the Francophone drive to completely frenchify Belgium.), nm that we're the same people. The real issues are inequal rights for the majority Flemish, chronic Walloon socialism that depends on Flemish money to survive, stealing of Flemish land and the annual transfer of 17 Billion € from Flanders to Wallonia. Francophones ignore all those valid issues, and just call us fascists... ridiculous.

flomocean Says:

Aug 26, 2008 - Is that so? When have the Flemish ever taken over French cities? Never. So us standing up to the further Frenchifying of Brussels makes us intolerant, never mind that it was a Dutch-speaking city until the Flemish were driven out. When you move somewhere, learn the language, don't ask for that region to be attached to WA and just learn the local language. And stop it with the victim routine, live up to your past and face the present. All these lies will only drive the Flemish further away. ...

Aug 29, 2008 - Belgium is still attached to Saddam. they miss his dirty lil deals...

ArianeHills Says:

Aug 29, 2008 - Belgium. No thanks, too much socialists living there, even more than in France! We don't want the Wallonia in France if you seperate.

BelgianMusic Says:

Sep 3, 2008 - yeah, i remember when our minister of shady affairs donald rummsfeld shook hands with saddam, giving them intel on how & when to gas the iranians, providing them with weapons and what have you. ow wait, that was the US... saddal will be sorely missed...

superZalm Says:

Sep 4, 2008 - socialists are in the south: wallonia... france is already full of socialists, so you should just accept them.

FreakingFreaky Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - omg grow up

FreakingFreaky Says:

Sep 6, 2008 - that's right, i live in belgium and i don't want it to seperate i think it's fin the way it is
