What the hell is the point of Belgium?
 

Talk about nothing to show for hundreds of years of history. Take France and remove all the contributions to the world that country has made and you have Belgium.

what the hell is the point of this thread???

Jean Claude Van Damme?

BEER, fucker! They take that shit quite seriously, too.

why no point ?

good question - i've wondered the same thing

Waffles.

They rock.

The saddest part is that there is alarming truth to this. Jean Claude Van Damme is probably the most common and often the sole thing people around the world know about Belgium.

Fucking pathetic. If I were Belgian I'd kill myself.

lol I lived in Belgium when I was 3, My father was in the Air Force and we were stationed over there... The best part I'd say was going to preschool in an abandoned castle where we were served near-beer and crackers at snack time...

Chocolate & awesome beer

Belgium and The Netherlands were set up by the Brits as buffer states against the Germans. British policy has always been to keep the Germans as isolated and divided as possible so they could put their efforts into their empire.

Pity Hitler didn't invade Britain. They haven't had any fresh Germanic blood since 1066 and have become quite degenerated. Now the empire is gone and they're going to become Muslim.

Best chocolate and beer in the world. Two of my favourite things.

Dont think I have ever put that much thought into them.

You know you're running out of things to troll about when.....

you know you're a broke loser i you have to drop your sig in every thread pretending to be witty.

fries - without Belgium no fries. imagine what impact that would have had on american fast food industry ;)

Every thread huh? I've posted in maybe 3 or 4 threads in the last 2 days.
Now who's pretending? :1orglaugh

Goldie Hawn in Private Benjamin.

Which begs the question why they were named "French" fries.


Belgium.... chocolate, chocolates, beer, waffles. If their women are even half hot it's a country worth keeping around.

:eek7

You do realize that that is simply untrue, right?

i was in antwerp several weeks ago, it was sunny, hot... very nice terraces to chill with one of their great beers, and the chicks, man i dont think ive seen so much hot chicks in one place as in antwerp.

"The biggest brewer in the world by volume is InBev based in Belgium."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgium

That's enough to earn them a place on the map in my opinion.

Useless thread....

And what contributions has France made to the world (besides Champagne and lousy cars)? :D

You are Belgian.

Take care,

His entire post indicates he is a confused racist with high school education at most. What I don?t understand is how these racist retards even come up with crazy shit like that.

"Belgians claim that "French" fries are in fact Belgian, but definitive evidence for the origin has not been presented."


I'm just glad they didnt name them Flemish fries. :winkwink:

there are lots of countries that really have no reason to be a country - they should just be states/provinces of other countries

if your national identity is based on making good chocolate or inventing french fries - not good enough! out!

Good point. Let's explore the national "identity" of the USA.

Canada is a forgone conclusion. We got Bacon, hockey, igloos, and seal clubbing.

Yepp, what DID the U.S. really invent??? :) Let's see...

Who said anything about inventions? It's what comes to the minds of the people of the world when they think of your country.

What comes to mind when people think about the USA?

What is the American national identity?


First thing that pops into my head is the eagle... followed a close second by the golden arches.

Hahahaha the title of this thread made me laugh out loud. "What the hell is the point of Belgium"? LOL too funny. This should be on a t-shirt.

What's the point of Rhode Island?

quoted for truth!

by the way i have a personal theory of how belgium was created. I dont think the belgians like my version though, but it's a pretty good theory with good arguments lol... maybe ill post it later

definitely the chocolate and beer. I think I could live in Belgium. It sounds nice.
