Oh no, not again. Sure girl. And I've been to Shangri La.
Can't we talk about something tangible, like Baby Jesus?

open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

I haven't just seen it; I've stood in it, lived there for a week, eaten and drunk in it, and then got in a car and left it.

And we are supposed to believe your "wham-bam-thank-you-mam" story? ![Glare](images/smilies/glare.gif) Just have to take your word for it, right?
Friend, making up stuff and then selling it as Gospel is a very silly thing to do.
Job 11:3
Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
Psalm 81:10:
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

I think you have to realise that Belgium is in Europe and in Europe there are areas that give themselves names that no one else knows or cares about – e.g. Basqueland in Spain or “The Cotswolds” or “The Black Forest”, or “The Alps”; a sort of nebulous area, meaningless and without defined borders.
Some people say that Belgium is the southern province of Holland; others say it is a northern area of France. Now ask yourself,
“Is Belgium a “country” with its own unit of currency and its own language?”
“No, of course it’s not!” is the only answer. So let’s have no more of this nonsense. ![Thumbsup](images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Those areas are significant for geographical or cultural reasons- the Alps are a mountain range, in the same way that americans refer to "The Rockies", the mountain range. "Basqueland" is an area with significant cultural differences from the rest of Spain and thus have been campaigning for independence.
As for currency, Belgium uses the Euro, much like most of Europe. This does not mean that it is not a separate country. Belgian people speak a mixture of French, German and Dutch. Does this mean that they are not their own country? No. Americans speak English and they are not part of England. Mexicans speak Spanish and Mexico is not part of Spain. I could go on.
However, Belgium has it's own Government, border, capital city and calling code. It is a country in its own right as well as being part of Europe.

Oh, Taylor... Oh dear! I can see you were not homeschool educated. The Rockies are NOT a country at all!

Then you will be able to tell me of two countries outside Europe that use the same currency?

Taylor, I am looking for proof, not a bald assertion - this site is based upon science - Biblical Science.
Quote:
Americans speak English and they are not part of England.
|
Do they still teach you that in England? Makes you wonder why there are American and English spellcheckers and why the internet has an American English dictionary, doesn't it?
Quote:

Well, it's a language 'like' Spanish - again though, it's not the same!
If you want to found a country, the first thing that you should do is to change the language to one of your own. I think that much should be obvious even to you. Does your mother tell you that you 'go on' too much already?

- your mind and beliefs have been corrupted by worldly matters, and Salvation™ is not of this world.
Please refer yourself to the jigaboos of Africa. Africa is made up of lots of countries with names like, "Bongo" and "Jibberjabber" - these are real countries, but within each country, there are loads of people who call themselves "King" or "Prince" of somewhere or other - they don't rule over real countries - they rule over tribes: Belgium is the same.

I know, that's what I'm saying- the Alps are not a country, they are an area. The Rockies are also just an area. Belgium is a country

Why would countries outside Europe use the Euro, a European currency? What point are you trying to make here?
Do they still teach you that in England? Makes you wonder why there are American and English spellcheckers and why the internet has an American English dictionary, doesn't it? Well, it's a language 'like' Spanish - again though, it's not the same!
In the same way that the French, Dutch and German spoken in Belgium varies in dialect and so on, in the same way that "True" English and American English differ? However, they are still recognisable as the same language, just as American English is recognisable as having stemmed from English. So by your logic, America didn't do very well at founding itself. Who are you to insult America in that way?

This is just incorrect, or you've got a little mixed up.

Oh, right. So you stood in something for a week and that makes you an expert now, does it? If you stand in dog poo for a week, does that make make you a leading canine scientist?
Taylor, I have lived in this place - that people keep calling "Belgium" - for most of my life. I know of all the tricks, deceit, hoaxes, and psy ops that are used to continue this "myth".
Do you really believe that a place as tiny as "Belgium" actually needs three languages and 6 governments? Six! That doesn't make sense does it? If the US was governed that way, they'd need 210 governments.
Do you really believe that a gay Italian communist who wears red dicky bows will actually become "Prime Minister" of "Belgium"?
I'm afraid you've been had friend. Come clear now, was it a stag night prank?

*Sigh* Why would I be on a stag night?
I don't claim to be an expert. However, I know that it is there. Why do you continue to say that you live in a place which, according to you, does not exist?
