Muslims are like Americans

I don't watch a lot of movies, but I can think of only one that portrayed Arabs as terrorists. That was "True Lies" with Arnold S. How many can you name? Most seem to have German, Eastern European or Chinese wackos causing the trouble. And the good guys are often as likely to be British (James Bond) as American.

Both are grossly missinterpreted by the world's non-inclusive press and seem to be doing very little to counter this on a global level. We need an Islamic version of the Simpsons to help sway the scales.

Belgians are a lot like Hobbits, quietly and happily getting on with their daily routines with not a care in the world. One day though evil men from the west (the French) will invade them for their fine chocolate, and rape and pillage all they see, imposing their self-interest on the poor natives and abusing their spirits. Poor Brussels will be raised to the ground. :(( And then one day a group of stout Belgian companions will return from the wars in the Middle East and expel the invaders, liberating their forgotten country once again. Then they will eat, drink and be merry, before dismounting from their high horses and moving back into their muddy holes.

Are you somewhat enigmatically suggesting that because the URL does not exist, neither does Belgium ?

I thought maybe the reason the URL does not work is the the page, like Belgium, does not exist.

What, you mean this url? It works for me... Perhaps the Vast Liberal Conspiracy has found out about your enlightenment, and is blocking the page in Australia as a result... :suss: Try the Google Cache. Shog9 ------
