They didn't mention Belgian waffles.
French fries are also supposed to be Belgian.

The author notably ignores Switzerland. Although it might have less immigration than Belgium, it has four official languages (not three), the Roman Catholic and Protestant divide, and is comprised of ethnic Germans, French, Italians, and Romansch (they seem similar to the Ladins). And yet they have been able to stay unified and economically and politically successful as one country for centuries.

I'll have bratkartoffeln with that jaegerschnitzel there Dihat! What the article doesn't mention is that the Turks actually do WORK! On Saturdays nonetheless. The waffle eaters couldn't outlaw immigration if they wanted to because if they did the country would shut down. Sad state of affairs...literally!

"..a loosely federalized system of government, under the somewhat titular King of the Belgians."Who, during daylight hours, is a shoe salesman who drives a classic Dodge sedan.
(Seriously, how do you consider separatism when the entire country would fit in Delaware's backyard?)

If we grant citizenship and voting privileges to all these illegal aliens, we might have democratic socialism until the republic goes bust, and saying anything politically incorrect will be a hate crime regardless of the truth of the matter. Scroll down about a quarter of the way on this link to Oslo Muslims Six Times More Likely to Rape. Our illegal aliens have shown a similar criminal proclivity, not limited to MS 13.

Belgium shows what happens when you bribe special interest groups in order to hold a country together. I recommend the following book:
A Throne in Brussels

I really enjoy your freeper page. The graphics are wonderful, our Creator has made the beautiful space views for our enjoyment. You can go to: yourarmstoisrael.org and read a good article on Islam ("a must read"/article 29) and maybe find some good information about blood.

When Americans think of Belgium -- if they do so at all -- they probably think of a small European country lying between the borders of the Netherlands, Germany, France and even smaller Luxembourg.
I tend to think of Spa-Francorchamps when I think of Belgium, but I'm a race fan.

To say nothing of the ugly ugly sexual assault cases in Belgium, that included the top politicians.

i was in Belgium about ten years ago-i visited on two occasions and i found the Walloon-Flemish situation somewhat ridiculous-they are almost all Catholic,and are almost all Caucasian-okay-so no racial or religious tension-it's the language that gets them going-most Flemings speak english also-Walloons either don't or won't-i raan into Flemings with French first names who hated French speakers-go figure that one out!the moslems were already a major problem even then and contributed heavily to the crime rate-the country doesn't work very well-it's corrupt to the core and in the Walloon areas very economically depressed-sort of like what happened in Gary,Indiana when the steel mills closed-the same thing happened in Wallonia-this is very strange insofar as their next door neighbor,the Netherlands doesn't have these types of problems,except the muslim infestation

When Americans think of Belgium -- if they do so at all -- they probably think of a small European country lying between the borders of the Netherlands, Germany, France and even smaller Luxembourg.I'm pretty lowbrow. When I think of Belgium, I think of the Monty Python skit of the TV show Prejudice':
"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)
Very good - thank you, Carol.
