Seems the French are not the only Europeans with short memories about the U.S. fighting tyranny . . . . .

The Belgies are a bunch of slug eating flaccid fags. Yet another mouse that roared.

Ignore them. The rest of Europe already does!

Actually, the Belgians look UP to the French and do their every bidding...how sad is that?

Actually, quite right. I think they collapsed even faster than the frogs during Blitzkreig.

If I recall correctly, these fru-fru's collapsed even faster than the frogs when the Blitzkreig came to town.

Well, actually, the idea of a sticker in a urinal is an old one...there is a Dutch firm that uses it in airports (a fly, I think), which is in the urinal so that the male users aim correctly...it lowers the amount of extraneous fluids that hit the floor...so, if it takes a picture of one's least favorite pol to insure the direction of the stream, then maybe W should register his picture so that, if nothing else, sanitary conditions are the result. I suspect that if Hill's picture were on above o(or to the immediate left), the sanitary conditions would result.

The words "Belgium" and "Humor" never belong in the same sentence

The Mighty Chocolatiers strike again. What was that General McAuliffe said when he was holding a Belgium town against the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge? My sentiments exactly.

Nice list of contacts for Belgium consulates if you want to let them know an opinion of their "humor".

Jane Fonda urinal stickers have been around for decades. I've seen Bill Clinton stickers and even French Flag urinal stickers.

It makes you wonder just how tight the security is that the member EU countries are providing the The President if their hatred is so intense? I worry that these nut jobs wouldn't give a rat's ass if some psycho made an attempt to harm him. It's ironic that he is probably safer in Bagdad than he is in Germany.

Their hopes don't matter. Their thoughts don't matter. Their likes or dislikes don't matter. Their ire doesn't matter. Their piss doesn't matter. THEY don't matter. And their silly little country doesn't matter.

If some place called Belgum dissappears from the face of the earth what has the earth lost? See above.

Why did anyone think it was necessary to declare war on Germany in 1914 just because they invaded Belgium? Think of all the 20th-century disasters which would never have happened if everyone else had treated that invasion with the same degree of interest as, say, a war between Bolivia and Paraguay. Of course the Germans were also intent on invading France but that should have been no one else's concern either.

A lot of European countries used to have colonies which are in various conditions today, some better, some worse. Belgium had one and it's one of the worst disaster areas in Africa.

Wow those old Europe people have so much class and refinement. And they call us heathens.

You got that right. About a year ago, I went to a cocktail party my sister had and the Belgian Ambassador was in attendance. I really had a good time being the "Ugly American" poking lots of tongue in cheek fun at Belgium. He failed to appreciate my wonderful sense of humor. I will say, though, that his wife was hot and had a great sense of humor. I was probably a blessed relief from all the US State Dept types that she encounters at all those functions she has to attend.
