No, that would be absurd. We Americans don't speak French so obviously we are not part of a Canada.

You "Belgiums" do speak French,...

Re: Belgium: another imaginary country (half German/half French)

I speak Dutch
And there are parts in Canada that speak English.
So it isn't that absurd

One minute you speak Flemish, the next you speak Dutch.

Can you at least get your act together?

I don't speak French. There's no way I could be a Canadian.

Re: Beglium 2

Brussel is in belgium
Do have an atlas ?
Well if you are so sure , go look it up

Let me give you an example. Suppose you lived in a country but it sucked, no one bathed, everyone was surly and no one would buy any of your crappy trade goods. We will pick a random name for the country....let's call it France.

You have already got all the foreign aid you can by surrendering to every country with an International Dialing Code, so you decide to create a phony 'country' with some made-up name out of a frozen peat bog and try to pass off that crappy dijon mustard (which even Frenchers won't eat) as a gourmet treat along with all of your other useless products.

Let's pick a name for this chunk of rocky marsh that no one wants.....ummm.....BELGIUM!

Now let's pick a national language. French! No. Dutch! No. German. No. Well then, let's dress up a bunch of country French words and call it tranny French or Wallonic or Dementia or Caesar Salad!

Re: Belgium: another imaginary country (half German/half French)

Listen friend, as I said before we Christians don't go for made up nonsense that bunch of long haired hippy types came up with while living in caves. It's going to take a lot more than some stuff written in some old book to convince us.

Ahum, it seems that it's old books that do convict you...
Aren't you familiar with a book called "The Bible"? Oh yes, that's right, that's the ONLY thing you believe in.
And as far as I'm concerned, you do go up for made up nonsense that a bunch of long haired hippy types came up with in caves...
And, I also forgot to mention that a lot of people share that thought.
You know, I was baptised, confirmed, but when my brains started to develop they started to see that it just makes no sense...
I respect everybody, you included, but I don't understand that you don't see that the world isn't created by one being, in what form whatsoever, but that it's a process of millions of coincidences, of survival of the fittest, over billions of years of time, that leads to the beautiful place we live in right now.
Hereby I want to state that I have absolutely no intention of mocking your God, I'm just saying that he isn't mine. I have no God actually, just the belief that everything ends, so we have to make the best out of the time we've been given, without harming anyone else, but trying to aid each other as much as possible, living in peace all together, no matter what race or religion...
Again, I have absolutely no intention of mocking your God, he just ain't mine.

How is The Bible and old book friend? God is timeless so therefore His message is timeless and up to date.

Re: Belgium: another imaginary country (half German/half French)

Friend, you state the case exactly. YOU call yourself a country, but you are really part of Spain or the Netherworld or Austria or France or Germany or Bolognia or Polska Kielbasa. GET AN IDENTITY AND STICK WITH IT! The human mind isn't capable of grasping that it lives in a place that doesn't really exist. SO EVERYONE IN YOUR IMAGINARY COUNTRY WILL BECOME CONFLICTED AND GO BARKING MAD!

Don't you see what you are doing by insisting that you actually live somewhere?

Wow, that's a really odd thing to hear from an American... So, by what countries have you NOT been invaded or attacked, what nationalities do NOT live in your country, and which nationalities have NOT mixed in your country? At least we try to become a better place... You think you already found it, but look to your country honestly, and you'll have to tell me that you ain't doing nothing better than anyone else...

Friend, we have been America since GOD made it; since Columbus discovered it and since we killed the injuns who pre-stole it. We'll be America until JESUS comes back but you will still be a faux Frenchie.

What are you going to do when the islamofascists take over and institute sharia law?

No Sir, that's right... History makes a country, mapmakers only draw the conclusions of the past.
