#2 These dumb bastards should be committing Seppuku not pointing fingers at each other. The Belgians and their King are jokes.

#7 My dad, commenting about WWII, called Belgium "a shitty little country between the Dutch and disaster". I haven't read anything, seen anything, to tell me differently. And yes, I HAVE been to Belgium, about a dozen times.
