Hehe, we win from Sweden we win! This little fact however, forces a lot of businesses away from Belgium, the workers here are just too expensive to keep paying (however well-educated they are). The social security system is imho, a good thing though, only part i don't like is all the money flowing south to cover their piss-poor economy.

For consoles....yeah it'll be great. I especially like wow! :o Disclaimer : Frisbee loves his consoles for RPG's, racing or anything non-FPS or non-RTS, but hates all console FPS except Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.

Of course they realize it's more potent, they just don't know by how much. Most try it, get sick, throw up, have a hangover, and the avoid it like the plague. Some just keep drinking and pass out, they're the idiots. But as joltan repeated, the alco-pops are a bigger problem.

Kirov reporting. (RA2) I think it's really to bad to see Russia in such a financial slump, technologically they're capable of great things, they just don't have the money anymore.

I believe (<= stress this part) that in Belgium, you can't enter bars without parental supervision if you're younger than 14. You can, however, if I'm not mistaken buy alcohol in a store without a problem before that (though they probably don't sell serious liquor to 12yr olds). I had my first beer when I was...14 iirc, and I started to drink it regularely when I started going out, 15-16-ish. It's funny though, with breezer and all those alcohol pops there are 11-12yr olds getting plastered drinking that crap (some even getting into a coma) Imho this is a much worse problem, teens will drink it anyway just to be rebellious, as pointed out above, but 12 yr old and younger are still kids. (yeah, I realise, to many I myself am still a snotty nosed brat but hey )

Province of Antwerp, not too far from Mechelen. 40-ish should be easily doable, the remaining 60 can probably be gotten by using the friends of the first 40. I'd like a frontline role at first though, can't let all the valuable OFP experience go to waste...

Ooooh! Oooh! Pick me! Pick me! Btw,our army isn't that useless,granted, equipment wise it is, but we have FN to amend that. Actually a lot of the army is probably as tired as you are of the politicians, you'd get their support in no time. The trouble would indeed be keeping the country together, most of flanders would probably want to kick out the rest (but then we wouldn't have FN!). If you get around that, PM me.

Hahaha. note the the part Arrogance you say? And the fact that site attacks science and then uses science to disprove science lol. Science disproves science, science does not, or at least has not yet proven the existence of some divine creator. So the site itself does exactly the same as what the people they criticise did : Take all the evidence they can find, use it to disprove something, then proceed to claim their vision as true, without taking into account any possibility that they'll be proven wrong themselves. Piggybacking on science to attack it, lol, thanks for the link though. Â

You could say it's true, in my school the direction organised to have one minute silence for the people in Madrid. I personally find it quite hypocritical, people die in equal or larger numbers everyday, but just because these are Spanish (or American in the case of 9-11) we are holding a minute of silence? Â No offense to the people who needlessly died there, I have respect for them, and I offer my condoleances. But I don't see any such minutes for people who die everyday in Ethiopia or Zimbabwe, they're often just as innocent as these spanish victims. Note : I'm criticising people (like my school board) who are selective in their criteria of people 'who deserve a minute of silence', not the victims of the Madrid attack, they do indeed have a right to respect, just not anymore than any other victim in the world, at least imho.

Lol! I do this exact same thing all the time too. Â Had one funny experience with a friend though. We both play OFP,mainly in coop with teamspeak and a lot of laughs. We were at a party, but it sucked (shitty commercial r&b, a dj who didn't know his vinyl from his cd, and no atmoshpere), so we were quite bored, as was everybody else in our little group. We start reviewing tactics for a particulary hard coop, and then suddenly reverted to OFP-speak somehow. I think it started with him (1) saying to me (2): 1 : 2, target unknown, babe, 6 o clock. I looked over my shoulder, indeed quite an attractive girl there, but one i had the pleasure of knowing already. 2 : Engaging. (went to have a chat with her) A bit later : 1 : 2,rearm at,bar,2 o' clock 2 : roger *gets beers* 2 : ready *returns with beers* It's been about a year, but it still scares me when I think about it. Â

To make OFP look cool, more popular and addictive. In the BIS official forum ? I think everybody here knows how cool and addictive it is

The Jurassic park one? Outbreak...survivor something like that..... *thinks*

*cough* Anime? *cough* That,and as said before,starship troopers (book) though it didn't give a graphical presentation Â

Lol,and all these movies made me think American soldiers were either dropped off by chopper, or dropped off by apc's or humvee's, must've seen too many movie's This is a little funny though : A few carrots and some other livestock food, versus maintenance and recharges,not to mention the initial cost. As walker said, develop them into the starship trooper suits, then we'd be talking.

But, will they be allowed to actually do anything? You'd probably need permissions and wade through a sea of bureaucratic barriers before you can take even the slightest action over there. But he wasn't elected democratically... Â It's probably right to say that there's not a lot of empathy going on here, and the election of Bush does represent the nation a bit. The US has a strange way to choose its president, a very strange way, that coupled with the fact most don't look behind the labels of 'democrat' and 'republican' (at least i think they don't) gives very strange presidents imho.

You just prove a point. It says the world is round and not flat,and that the earth moves around the sun. And that it has always been so in the bible, but we critics interpret it wrongly. If your article says what I think it does Why then did the Church ban all heliocentric beliefs, and only admitted their wrong somewhere late in the 20th century? Either you can't interpret it, and hence quit claiming you can whenever it fits. Or you can admit it's just a bunch of vague passages, which are to be interpreted however you wish.

Well, my parents opinion on it is simple, they both think these seven years have been a waste of time and money, and that that idiot should've been on the receiving end of a bullet years ago. I'm only 18, so does their opinion count? Oh and except the governement sometimes mucking up, I still find this a lovely country to live in (as long as I'm on this side of the language barrier). The insecurity here is mainly artificial, political parties making everyone believe that crime is a major issue, so people get scared and vote for parties who promise to do something about it, something you'll see everywhere, not just here. The bureacracy and the logical consequence thereof, corruption are bigger problems, but not in the everyday life of a regular schmoe, so it'll stay that way. It doesn't help that the belgian nature is to be quiet and to have low self esteem (then again, logical since all our neighbours except luxemburg have invaded and conquered us one time or the other )

I say all religions have various theories about armageddon, judgement day or generally, the day the world ends. Many religions went extinct, meaning how all religions serve a purpose for a while, and then just disappear. The world will end, but noone, and especially no religion is 'in the know' on how this will happen. Oh and btw Billions of years ago the earth was liquid, then it solidified, noone was around, yet we still know this as fact, because of the science of geology. I'm not entirely sure about the big bang (I think it has something to do with the universe expanding at a continuous rate?) but I'm not about to dismiss something as 'a mere theory' when I myself am only a mere idiot in these kind of things, I'd have to look it up myself.

Let's see. I believe in the Norse mythology, when the day of judgement comes, I will descend from Valhalla and fight alongside the gods. But first I have to die an honorable death of course. You can read up on the armageddon theories from every religion out there,in practice or not. This all teaches you one thing, religions come and go, catholicism or anything else is still nothing more than a glorified sect. If you worry about the things in a book that is thousands of years old, you're just wasting your time. Hell, if I had meant what I said in the first paragraph, everyone would probably label me 'freak'. Why is it that religions are labeled like this, believing in heaven is okay, but believing in valhalla or the elysian fields is not? Criticizing people believing in the first is very,very wrong, because everyone can believe what they want, but people who believe in the second or the third are just freaks, pagans if you will. Kind of hypocritical if you ask me.

It's probably a given that sucha network existed, and if it did, it probably still does. It's silly that it's being investigated again, now, now when all the traces are cold, when no more real trails of evidence can be investigated. It's just the same as 'the gang from nijvel', the investigations are still open, it's a joke.

Firstly,allow me to agree with Ran that our cousins in the south really are a little backwards. (the EU acknowledges that they're lagging behind,at least economically) A lot of the negative things you hear from Belgium originate south of the language barrier. The farce with our foreign minister bashing the US and Israel, the whole deal about the ability to sue foreign leaders in Belgian courtrooms. Minister of foreign affairs, 'un wallon' his idea's. Fact of the matter is, we have a very complicated political structure, because of the three languages (only two of them posing an actual problem), and four main political area's with conflicting interests. Politically you can't get anything done here,there has to be a 2/3 majority, but conveniently that's just enough for the 'wallons' to sink every little thing that would hurt them. Even in the judiciary system, this language barrier sometimes pops up, you'll be hard pressed to find cops south of the language barrier who speak Dutch, and it wouldn't surprise me that there's animosity between the Dutch- and French speaking departments sometimes. Belgium, known for its fine beers, fine chocolates, and fine bureaucratical compromises which accomplish nothing.
