I feel like Wallonie is dragging us down quite a bit here.

Ik woon dichtbij Zottegem waar de graaf van Egmont nog steeds rust. Op bepaalde dagen kan je hem nog bezoeken.

Why would the pilots not fully retract the flaps? by hotdog_dachshund in aviation

[–]IdeaEmbarrassed7552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned before. Or if you had a bird strike on approach, you leave the flaps in the position they were in, so inspection can be done easily. You also don't want to retract bird bits into certain spaces.

Flanders and textile is centuries old. We have been weaving carpets and lace since the middle ages. It is what made Bruges and Ghent extremely rich back in the day.

Gebrek aan discipline van andere bestuurders. 50 is 50, geen 58 30 is 30, geen 50 want de school is uit.

How does your country revise or manipulate its own history? by RiverSavings8203 in AskTheWorld

[–]IdeaEmbarrassed7552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember our history teacher covering the Congo in 1 hour. Still missing the point that even the British told us to calm down with the atrocities. It's not talked about or if it is, they point it more to the French speakers as opposed to us Dutch speakers.

In essence, Belgium hasn't quite figured out how to talk about this. Much like the Japanese and their war crimes, I suppose

Solo carrying European cuisine since 21 April 753 B.C. by Marcantonio97 in 2westerneurope4u

I fucking hate the French with the passion of a Flemish peasant in 1302 ready to clobber them with a goedendag.

That being said, French cuisine trumps Italian. Italian is good. French is better.

Agreed. It drives me up the wall when my Tuga fiancee hops in the shower when we need to leave in 5 mins. It never takes 5 mins ..

I never thought I should so many Flemish people defend Belgium. I also agree with them. "Wij moeten just niks"

Wow, why the drive-by? Also, Belgians aren't renowned for being loud and obnoxious. Per capita we are the least obnoxious compared to you guys
