#1 I had a Belgian friend staying out at my ranch for a few days so I can summerize this article for everyone: the Dutch speaking Belgians are getting really, really tired of paying for the French Speaking Belgians. Economically speaking, Wallonia is not pulling its own weight, and probably never will.

That's 80+% of it.

#6 They are obviously not tolerant enough. Perhaps some diversity training and/or dialogue would be helpful.

#7 The break up of Belgium would hasten the death of the EU.

As Homer might not say "Go Flanders"!
