On more serious note, "Belgium" and "The Netherlands" used to be terms used interchangeably to denote the same area, so by that line of reasoning both countries are continuously expressing territorial claims on one another (and Luxemburg and French Flanders) with their names. I can safely say though, that the names of both countries have never been a bone of contention.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.

The Belgiums are too dull and the dutch too stoned to get too worked upSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Anyone who thinks Macedonia presents a credible threat to Greece is delusional. Besides, Macedonia isn't the only state with irredentist claims to Greece - what about Bulgaria, considering their San Stefano borders, or Albania, which I believe claimed "southern" Epirus in the past? Every country has its radical fringe that wants a "greater X," Greece and Macedonia included. The issue is clearly about the name and the cultural appropriation it implies to Greeks, because there exists no credible threat to Greece and irredentist claims no longer exist within the Macedonian constitution to my knowledge.Lime roots and treachery!

You can count on a certain Welshman to come in and clear this all up to satisfaction. All a Welshman really has to occupy his time is how many sheep he can **** in 1 day.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
