    I believe I asked why that matters to you if you agree with the result?

      How odd. And yes, I am an American. Actually, I've got the Omnibus edition which is the first three books in one, plus a little explanation of how The Guide came to be, and directions for getting off the planet.

        I presumed the "I don't like Belgium has given in to the USA." phrase would give you information enough. I agree with the result but I don't like the method it was done. Would you like it if some country meddled with your internal affairs?

          I must congratulate the US goverment with this result, I'm astound on how brilliant they are in atagonising people towards the US.

          Was it a silly law, no it wasn't, it was just obused, the latest one, (although they did it just to show how easy it was ), was filing lawsuit against our foreign minister for selling arms to Nepal (legaly).

          Infact, they should have deployed two carrier battle groups off the eastern seaboard just to prove that you don't mess with them.

          We wanted too, really. But one of our two officers is down with the flew and the other one didn't want to chip in for gasoline to keep the dinghy running.

            Why didn't Belgium contine the Maginot line? Wouldn't it have been a lot cheaper than getting overrun by the Germans?

              Oh, the irony.
              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                  It was continued (though maybe not completely because Belgium became neutral in 1936, plus they skipped the Ardennes because it was thought of as a "natural fortress" )

                    Something just passed my mind you know ... The US removing Saddam in Iraq
                    I consider that meddling with someone elses internal affairs as well, but a lot more harshly in my very humble opinion, and on top of that quite unjustified too.

                    Oh, the irony huh DanS?

                    Once again, arrogance and serious threats from America's part prevail!
                    Boy and you cowboys are always wondering why so many people on this **** called earth hate you?

                    It's not the change in the law that annoys me, but the faggy way America manipulated it in their advantage does, actually. Someone should get Rumsfeld out o' there and put him in a mental institution

                        The Europeans whine about the Death Penalty in the US, why can't we whine about laws in Europe that we disagree with?

                            Just because we have the ability to back up our whining is no reason to get out of shape.

                              Apparently being impotent has severely restricted their sense of humor.
