I was right, it's a Dutch troll account, he just PMed me and then blocked me :)

In case you're still reading this, Sandy, you asked how I noticed and which errors? Well, amongst other things, one glaring example was your "i am not going to stop my energy in it" and the fact that only Dutch people would resort to the "domme Belg" remark once they're cornered and don't know what else to write.

And now he closed his account. Epic fail.

yes indeed , you may not realise it cuz maybe u havent' travelled much , but the belgian mentality is backwards compared to certain other countries. Belgium is pretty conservative and agaion backwards especially the social happening. Beligan people are cold and closed(the flemish) compared to the very social dutch people.

But they do have some fine architecture

Wow, you don't even know me, yet feel perfectly capable to say what I have or haven't done. I've travelled quite a bit, particularly around Europe, and I can tell you that the only mentality that is backwards here is yours. Belgium is pretty liberal, especially the Flemish, we were one of the first countries to allow same-sex marriage, controlled euthanasia, semi-legal soft drugs, etc.

With regards to the Belgian social life, you don't know what you're saying. Our bars/clubs/etc are filled with foreigners from all over, especially Dutch people, the same Dutch people that seem to think that most Flemings are some of the friendliest people around. A bit reserved from time to time, we value our space, but genuinely friendly when it comes down to it.

I have travelled around the world and i have been living in the flemish part for 20+ years

I know what i am saying , but that's how i experience your country
Synthiotics (November 27, 2008 at 2:56 pm)
Well, if you've been living here for 20+ years you must like backwards places then. If you'd really lived here for so long you probably shouldn't have written "your country", or are you somoeone who doesn't want to integrate..

Your comments are so far off the mark that I can only label you as yet another troll. Nog een prettige avond...
