And as for your rantings about the British killings, have you forgotten how many British people were buried in the cemetries around Ieper, who died defending your Belgium?

Very tasteless of you to use this argument, because
1. We are very thankfull. In fact, I go each year to visit the cemetries, it’s a school trip.
2. They did not defend MY Belgium, they helped (twice) defending the world against an awfull regime.
3. As much as we respect the people who died here, it’s not up to you to make me feel guilty about that. These soldiers died as much for you as for me.

Hey, I will be in my cold cold grave before I recognise Holland as an independent state (Grandpa Simpson, but change Holland with Missouri) :). Eupen is great, unfortunatelly German speaking Belgium is often forgotten, if it wasn’t of Frank :p

Could you clarify yourself? Ever thought of the fact that blue, red and white have a symbolic meaning?! Or do you really think flags are made just to look good, maybe the Canadian :p

just saw it on the news … quite a rescue-operation

Stupid to burn the French flag because it’s made of the same colours as the stars and stripes, which is no coincidence, and after all represents the same late 18th century ideology. (ofcourse also the other way around). Burning the Tricolor means burning the starts and stripes, but that’s ofcourse something these morons don’t understand.

And Frank – I really don’t care what you think of my signature – I have many Belgian “internet friends” from another forum I go on, and they love my signature.

Cool, internet friends. has it come to your mind that REAL Belgians (flesh and blood) can be different. Belgium is not a realtime computergame, Comet. Your passion towards Belgium is of a such an extent (frightening) that I bet you would rather see the people living here being exported to Siberia. Normally I would encourage people to visit our country, but I won’t anymore. So don’t act like you know the people, you might know some beers, but hell, you understand very little of the real life going on here.

Why does Singapore has such a lowe crime rate. A little bit of basic sociology. Because the people are disciplined, not because of the DP. If you put a moratorium on the DP in Singapore, crime will not increase, in fact, it may even lower. How can you manage the people to be more disciplined. Yes, not only “soft” measures, but you can also be severe without torture. In non-virtual Belgium for example drunken driving from now on will you cost about 1600 Euro’s! You’ll only do that once, I can guarantee you. After a while people won’t think about the consequences anymore, they’ll just consider it to be “not done”.

“(what about all the innocent people, including young children, who have been murdered by the poor, badly done to IRA?)”

What about all the innocent people, including young childeren who have been executed, murdered and slaughtered a couple of centuries on by the British ?????!!!!!!!! I’m not making a point here, and I’m not anti-British at all, I’m just saying what’s crossing my mind.

Sure this is 100% correct? We had a similar incident a couple of years ago, some TV-crew went into a prison and showed the “luxury” prisoners were enjoing. The people being very upset. Later it was found out the documentary was fake.

That’s what I call justice. At least you have to agree, it is the only proven method of preventing re-offending! That thing will not kill any more children will it?

And as for “human” rights, I think it’s time that the terrorist-loving “human” rights fraternity gave more consideration to the victims of the criminals. Law abiding people have a right to go out without being mugged, or without fearing they will be attacked. Pensioners have a right to feel safe in their own homes without some drug crazed scum braking in and robbing them to get money for their next fix.

In my home town it was on the news yesterday that a piece of scum had gone on trial for robbing two old ladies, aged 73 and 83 (I bet that made it feel tough!) What makes me mad is that the “human” rights brigade will oppose any proper punishment for this piece of scum, it will get away lightly and do the whole thinga again to someone else. The police are not brutal enough, if they literally kicked the sh*t out of scum like this, instead of mollycodlding them, then they would much likely think twice before offending. The state of the country, as far as crime is concerned, can be blamed entirely on organisations such as Amnesty bloody International and Liberty, with their “be nice to criminals and to hell with the victim” mentality.

Ofcourse, who needs amnesty international. Bunch of crybabies.
Maybe we should introduce the Taleban laws again, that will help lower the crime rates in the UK. Public executions on Trafalgar square, boy I’m looking forward to that. And it will also prevent women who are too opinionated (ie you) to share their poisened ideas with others. Amnesty International is fully to blame. Comet, that’s about the most stupid thing I’ve heard in a long, long time. Are you deeply frustrated because you don’t have a penis so instead you try to be as macho as possible? Stay away from Belgian beer, lady, it’s killing your grey cells. I’m sure you would be very happy in Belgium, we have one party which represents your ideas: Vlaams Blok. In the white house they are known as neonazi’s in tuxedo’s. Maybe you should add to your signature … when going to Belgium … THINK with Belgians. Or at least try to.

Flood, as far as I’m concerned, the debate on pro/contra capital punishment is still open. I can understand 100% why victims would like their murderer/raper being hanged, but there’s on thing you forget here. Justice is not out to satisfy the needs of one person (the victim is selfish, how weird this may sound) but society as a whole. Capital punishment will not make your country a safer place. Countries who respect human rights for instance have a healthy economy, and this is no coincidence (Adam Smith). So you don’t have to be a tree hugger to support (basic) human rights, only some rational thinking. And this discussion is not even about death penalty. As much as I oppose it, human rights and death penalty are still different issues. The problem here is not the women being executed, but the way it was done is just munstruous.
