before you post something about a country in europe, educate yourself please.
The Vlaamse Block _IS_ an extreme-right party.. There is no and never has been any doubt about it. They just could not outlaw it before because of some loopholes they used. The Vlaamse Block is NOT the biggest party in BELGIUM, it is the biggest party in the Flemish part of Belgium, and honestly, scares the living hell out of me.
The reason that the Vlaamse Block is popular in the Flemish part of Belgium is that they are pro splitting up the country in 2 or maybe even 3 parts. Its all a little bit more complicated than this article makes it look I fear...
So, get your facts straight and do not base it on one article from a UK newspaper...

Actually I read alot about the Vlaams Blok in the past, and I know exactly what it is. I also know Belgium is a country that was established without a desire from either the Francophones or the Flemmish, and that they have been fighting for an independent state ever since. Many Flemmish joined in to fight with the Nazi's in the belief that Hitler would make them their own independent state.
I am not as simple as you might think, and whilst I had known about the Vlaams Blok for some time I was unaware they where banned as a political party. Please inform me what loopholes they used to escape being shutdown? I mean what you are supporting is essentially Stalinist type politics, whereby a party you don't agree with is simply shut down.
The Vlaams Blok has a heap of support, and for very good reason. With immigration, low birth-rates, etc the Flemmish people will only survive a few more generations before being wiped into insignificance and the Vlaams Blok is fighting to stop this from happening.
Just a friendly reminder after I ran over yet another example (albeit 1 year old) of the European communist elite taking over freedom. This would not of happened in the USA:
Belgium's most popular political party was banned as racist by the country's high court yesterday, fuelling concerns that the judicial branch is being used to eliminate political enemies.
.....
The high court upheld an earlier ruling that party branches had violated race laws by distributing 16 leaflets in the late 1990s deemed to be incitement against immigrants. The party attacked the ruling as a breach of free speech since much of the material consisted of official statistics.
One of the tracts, denouncing female circumcision in Islamic countries, was written by a Turkish-born woman member of the Vlaams Blok but the court ruled that the arguments were intended to foment anti-Muslim feeling.
The US has its faults, but Europeans need to wake up and stop thinking they are perfect.
This thread is actually worthless with out links to the leaflets, taking one example of a Turkish-born woman who is against female circumsision (not practised in Turkey btw.) means shit, as I am 100% sure that was not the racist comments they got sentenced for.
Seems freedom to earn a living is getting harder for some industries in the US and after watching the US guys at the Amsterdam show I think they would agree with me.
After watching someone you can deduce that freedom to earn a living is getting harder?
You are such a pseudo intellectual. I wish I could watch a few group of people and have your deduction wizardry.
Yes because quite obviously I am the one who needs a clue. I mean, clearly making a bestiality video is a much more important right than being able to express a point of view democratically. What cracks me up is you idiots fail to realise how insane it is for the most popular political party to be banned out of fear. Lets imagine it the other way, how would you react if a liberal party in the USA received the most votes in an election, and than was banned by the Republican for supporting terrorism because they publicly rejected 'anti-terrorism' laws. You horse fuckers would be having a fit on here.
And MetroPornTour I do mostly agree with you, and that is essentially what I am saying here. These people in power (in the Europe they happen to be neo-Communists), will do whatever necessary to hang on to power. However this is a great example of when their attempts to push their opinion through the media, the education system, etc fail they have no problem with resorting to such things as sanctions and the illegalisation of political parties.
But who cares right, as long as I can fuck a pigeon and film it
Neo-communist, Neo-conservative, Liberal, Democrat---- Democracy vs. Dictatorship.
This is the problem with patriotism. Patriots always get caught up playing the "My country is better than your country game."
In truth it all the same. Comparing these various things is like comparing multiple piles of shit and trying to decide which one smells better.
And yes I ask what my country can do for me. Afterall, I fucking pay those assholes. They are supposed to work for me and not the other way around.
Patriotism of any kind sucks!

You can use this to continue digging yourself in ... or out ...
I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !
But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....
funny to see how clueless some ppl are especially those who never been in Europe never took effort in learning or even looking at the political systems here and still post crap
like I said funny
You still on your high horse about how elite you EU types are?
Shut the fuck up already.
So many EU types generalize all day long on this board about the US, but once someone does it to you and your kind, it's such a bad thing.
Well i stopped reading and taking you serious there.
Moron.
I can not help if you are ignorant to the laws in Britian, France, Norway, etc moron.

Actually if you understand sociology you'd realise that nationalism on some level is certainly a healthy thing. I actually wrote a 3,000 word essay on the topic in my first year at university. About Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Globalisation. If you're interested to read it let me know and I'll dig it up.
Well in the Netherlands you can smoke dope legally, eat magic mushrooms legally, get a whore legally, marry your gay lover legally and if you're old and decrepit you can kill yourself legally.
What don't you people realise, almost every European country has the same laws.
We certainly do.. Any European not stopping for Red light will get at least 2 years in one of those horrible Turkish prissons

Yes you are right, because eating magic mushrooms is quite obviously a pillar of any democratic society. Whereas the right to form a political party is quite insignificant.
Like the right to form the Comunist Party in USA.. right ?
Why are GFY'ers so crazy about proving they live at the center of the universe.. If you're happy with where you live that's cool, but it doesn't get a better place to live just because you can find somewhere worse..
The only thing limiting my free speach here in Denmark is that I can't say really racist things in public.
I am completely fine with that cause it works both ways.
We have organizations like Hizb-ut-Tahrir that is an extreme islamic organization and they have been hit with the racism law several times.
Being able to say all black people should be killed isn't a sign of freedom its ignorence.

I would love to read it. Send it to me.
Not having read your paper, we can debate and discuss it afterwards. However, for the moment...
I majored in psychology and anthropology.
Let me go on as saying that "Nationalism" is healthy if it is limted to a sense of identification to the self and cultural belonging. IE: This is where I was born, this is what makes me - me and there are others just like me here.
But nationalism is wrong when it attains the point that a person begins to believe in the superiority of thier nation over that of others. It is also even more wrong when a citzen pledges thier lives and ceases to question the actions of thier goverment.
A goverment only exists by the will of the people. A goverment is only kept in check and honest if the will of the people demand accountablity. When people begin accept, with very little questioning, the actions or start to believe in the infalabilty of their flag.
Then that goverment will commit all kinds of horrors and give little regard to explaining it's actions and even less care about what it does.
