Yes, but it is “little” Britain, as much as it is “little” France.
But there’s a football game on TV (Czech Rep vs Denmark) and I want to save the other people on the forum a 10-page long lecture. However, you’re using the word “you” as if all 24 other memberstates have one similar goal and that is to destroy the UK. :rolleyes: Pathetic it is, I don’t know you, but, it’s never too late to go to school.
It ended well, but he looked kinda strange. And he asked me some extra tough questions. But he was fair, and I would probably just do the same.
Yeah, there were other candidates, but there was one country, on an island which keeps blocking “strong” candidates and wants to replace them. This particular country however considers itself to be very anti-EU, still, they like to have the last say on European politics. I forgot the name though.
Distiller, I just finished my exams and I really don’t want to start discussing historical facts. But your arguments are about the stupidest one I ever heard, I wouldn’t expect to hear them from a mentally retarted 6-year old. Bringing up the seven years war to prove France is still imperialist. :confused: :confused: :confused: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: France payed back Engand some years later by supporting the founding of a new country you want to form a federation with today.
Problem today is that being ignorant is kind of accepted, because that means you are conservative and I should respect your opinion. So it’s OK for you to bash on Portugal, France and the rest of Europe … after all, it’s an opinion. France, catholic culture 😀 😀 😀 Yeah, if there’s on single nation on this world which is really not religious it must be France! If it wasn’t of France, God would be in our constitution (which I thought was a good thing to stress on Europe’s Judeo-Christian heritage). But France is already more than 200 years a secular state. I guess you never heard about the French Revolution as well. Funny you didn’t mention Hastings. Look I could go on untill the cows come home, but that would let me look like a complete arrogant *******. But sorry, folks, such kind of nonsence can not be accepted. There are other ways to discuss Euro-scepticism without these xenophic arguments. Sad sad it is.
Relax Fransesco 🙂
It’s just football. I’m probably the most pro-European guy on this forum, but sometimes it’s just fun to use stereotypes like in this case. As long as they are not hooligans, everything is fine to me.
This is me, on my way to my last exam.

My last one is friday. After then the chances of finding me sober are slim, if not, unexisting.

I got let’s say 4092 posts, lets say 4000 of them were complete crap, but the 92 good ones are worth it! However, I’ve been here already on this place more than four years AND, apart from the exams, I only posts once or twice a day. I have no problems leaving the forum for a couple of weeks (like during holidays) so no, not addicted.
At least Germany doesn’t ‘pay’ the Czechs if they win.
I don’t believe sepperate states could solve the problems. In fact, these can make it even worse. I think it would be better if all ethnic groups were still under one leader and got some sort of autonomy (like culture, education). Don’t want to boast, but the Belgian model could have been introduced in Yugoslavia I think without having a civil war. Maybe you could claim the state was artificial, but be it so, if that could avoid thousands of human lifes.
Now good to see you back. During my last exam ‘arts’, you helped me quite a lot. Now, how do you feel about trip to Fugueras? 😎
Good to have you back on board, Fransesco.
How was Argentina?
Don’t worry about the Belgian taxpayer, most people are against death penalty here anyway. You can’t make an exeption for someone like Dutroux, because therefor we should need to change our constitution. Correct, Belgium is the only country, together with Poland, where the constitution forbides the DP and I’m damn proud about it.
Cool, well, it’s been a while since my last haircut so when do I get dreads?
Right on Hand,
Belgium’s Dutroux jailed for life
Convicted paedophile child killer Marc Dutroux has been sentenced to life in prison for the kidnap, rape and murder of young girls.
A court in Arlon sentenced his ex-wife Michelle Martin to 30 years in prison.
Co-accused Michel Lelievre got 25 years and Michel Nihoul was jailed for five years at the end of a case which became notorious around the world.
Under Belgian law, sentencing was decided by the 12 jurors and the panel of three judges together.
Dutroux was found guilty last week of leading a gang that kidnapped and raped six girls in the mid-1990s, leading to the deaths of four of them.
Prosecutors had called for 30-year jail terms for Martin and Lelievre, and at least 10 years for Nihoul, a businessman.
Nihoul was acquitted of kidnapping but convicted of smuggling drugs and people into Belgium.
Buried alive
The case has been dubbed Belgium’s trial of the century.
DEFENDANTS
Marc Dutroux, 47, unemployed electrician: Guilty of kidnap, rape, murder
Michelle Martin, 44, Dutroux’s estranged wife: Guilty of conspiracy to kidnap
Michel Nihoul, 62, businessman: Acquitted of kidnapping
Michel Lelievre, 32: Guilty of kidnapping
The bodies of An Marchal, 17, and Eefje Lambrecks, 19, were found in 1996 in the garden of a house in the suburbs of the city of Charleroi owned by Dutroux. Post-mortem reports showed they had been raped and beaten before being drugged and buried alive.
The discovery came shortly after the bodies of two eight-year-olds, Melissa Russo and Julie Lejeune, were found in the garden of another property belonging to Dutroux. They had been repeatedly raped before dying of starvation, post-mortem reports showed.
One of the surviving victims who gave evidence at the trial was Sabine Dardenne, who was kept in a purpose-built dungeon in Dutroux’s basement for 80 days.
She was repeatedly raped before being rescued by police in 1996.
Laetitia Delhez – another young woman who was incarcerated in the same basement – also testified at the trial.
I hope you ain’t gonna shoot the whole place down though …
BTW, I heard rumours of a new Live Aid program! Not organised by Bob but Bono.
Allbright was Hungarian herself, right? Well, she may have been personally in favour of a military action, and so was Clinton, but that doesn’t mean the whole nation (senate) supported it.
Vortex, don’t get me wrong. I have no problems with sending a bill. After all, the European states have less financial problems than the US (thanks to EU budget-limiting). I think it’s normal we pay back a part, actually the UN should have paid, if it had a budget ofcourse. As I said, peacekeeping is a global task, it’s not up to one nation to bring peace (as in Iraq and also Kosovo), it should be supported and paid by the world community. Otherwise there can’t be no peace. That’s utopia I know.
