On the merging of Flanders with the Netherlands. Well I have to dissappoint you Frags, but in the polls almost every Fleming answered along the lines of 'No, nay, never'! Though some of the most radical nationalists often would like an anschluss with the Netherlands or with both the Netherlands and Germany. Most would never want that. Also culturally we are very different. Even though we use mostly the same words and almost the same grammar (verb order is sometimes different over here), you have completely different way of communicating anyway. While we often find the dutch way (very open and direct) of talking and communicating entertaining and sometimes even preferable, we're just to rapidly offended or assume sarcasm in your words. My sister had this Dutch teacher in communication the other day. And while she without doubt knew her theory, she couldn't put it to practice with Belgium, because she just offended and angered everyone without knowing. Also tv demonstrated how much we're different. Dutch tv is so hyperactive compared to ours and you guys don't seem to be able to stop talking for a second. The complete way of life, take food, is just different. If you go to a Belgium town you don't know and you enter a restaurant most of the time it will be decent. In the Netherlands you really need to know where you go. And please stop getting your food out of a wall!
I am going to move to Flanders. It sounds awesome.
