jakee 1,265 #401 January 15, 2015 ryoder ***So ... we have to prepare to invade Belgium The more I've learned about Belgium, the less I understand why it even exists. Seems like Wallonia should be part of France, and Flanders should be part of the Netherlands. That's probably the best description of Belgium I've ever heardI think mostly it exists to produce a few very good cyclists, a huge amount of drunk spectators at bike races, and the beer to keep them drunk. That's about it.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anvilbrother 0 #403 January 15, 2015 QuoteIt's not just me - everyone except Skyrad disagrees with him. The pope gets it. QuotePope Francis has defended freedom of expression following last week's attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo - but also stressed its limits. The pontiff said religions had to be treated with respect, so that people's faiths were not insulted or ridiculed. To illustrate his point, he told journalists that his assistant could expect a punch if he cursed his mother. "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri [who organises the Pope's trips] speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched," he said, throwing a pretend punch at the doctor, who was standing beside him. The remarks came as funerals were held for four people killed in the attack by militant Islamists. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30835625 Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

Yeah, not like he's got a vested interest in the matter, given that he runs a religion and all.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 212 #405 January 16, 2015 rehmwa ****** The more I've learned about Belgium, the less I understand why it even exists. To brew very very good beers ? more seriously, this is just the heritage of history (royal families and so on ...) That whole region serves a very necessary purpose - they are an early warning system in case any large European country gets land grabby. kinda like a canary in a mine or a smoke detector (that, and the beers) AH, so they can sound the retreat before they get there.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,364 #407 January 16, 2015 rehmwa and the pope should go to jail for assault words <> punch this pope is less cool than I thought then No kidding. The Pope just publicly stated that a physical assault is an acceptable response to a verbal insult. Apparently "your mom" is an acceptable reason to completely reject the teachings of that Jesus fella."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
