so why Belgium exist, some people could join France and others netherlands, or not ?

local cultures

Nice word, but 'culture' is not that much. 50 years ago everything was different, 100 years ago even more, 250 year ago etc. We live on a dynamic planet that is constantly changing ....

Because we differ from them all maybe?

Yes, they are living there more than 100years... but it is not problem that they speak with their language, problem is that they refuse use state language

That is not a problem, that is their right imo. They live there for a long time, so it's normal they are not forced to use another language than their own. Just like the Dutch-speaking people shouldn't have been forced to use the French language (they were forced to unfortunately), as French was the state language ...

and second the most serious problem is that Magyars are supporting them and we all know politics (Hungarians and Slovak) how like such a conflict situation :-( so they are making that worse.

It's logical the Hungarians support them. We never got that support of the Netherlands. And yes, I know the historic conflict between Slovaks and Hungarians, but that doesn't mean the Hungarians don't have the right to use their language in an area where they've lived for a very long time.

I think "similar" just in language problem....

Both are language problems, but are completely different language problems.

Because 1) the percentage of Flemish that wants to split Belgium is far to small to end the state Belgium and 2) because the Flemish certainly don't want a unification with the Netherlands.

As promised, the map of the current situation and the situation before the Belgian independence:

but you have more state language, we have just one.... ok, this theme is closed for me...

I read today this :-). I really dont know why that man was so "cruel" :-)

I like how the site is called disinformation - because thats what it is. (At least) Half of those never existed. Ever heard of propaganda? Oh wait? Only western media does that? Not the tribal dictator?

There, even did your reply.

so good name of web :-)

there are good comments :-DDD

In prison, you also get free accommodation, all utilities included, and free health care to boot. Does that make you want to live there? Does that make you free?

The end argument is, that people do not revolt if they are happy and cared for.

The argument that rebels where brought in by NATO/Al Qaeda (depending on when Gaddafi was asked why people revolted) is utter rubbish, and anyone who deflects that by saying 'maybe you should listen to less mainstream media (put politely)' is an idiot for taking the words of Gaddafi as gospel as well.

Fun note, my dad and aunt work in the police, and people come from Europe (typically Eastern - not being racist, Romania, Hungary, and many others) and commit crimes, that mean they get free accommodation for some time - with free food and a place to sleep at night. It isn't an epidemic, but it certainly happens.

The end argument is, that people do not revolt if they are happy and cared for.

this is not true!
Part of the article were true, the money were not those written, but Lybia helped his people lot more than what you think..

Revolt is something we must look carefully at..
in latest years almost every revolt in the world were planned in other countries foregin office bureau.. from ex URSS republics, to african wars and to arab "spring"..
(still it does not mean it was wrong..)

The end argument is, that people do not revolt if they are happy and cared for.

:-DDD "People" in Lybia make revolts because they have external impulse, money and most of them was even not from Lybia. So in TV it looks good and nobody care about reality....

just to be correct :-)

I dont know why nobody can accept the fact that people who have much better life conditions (I mean at least economics and in social areas) than rest of Africa, even better than in Slovakia will usually not going to revolt. But we all will rather believe what we saw in TV, no matter that it can be just payed drama for TV.

I dont know why nobody can accept the fact that people who have much better life conditions (I mean at least economics and in social areas) than rest of Africa, even better than in Slovakia will usually not going to revolt.

Well, I can think of a few reasons why:
Violent oppression of political parties....
Oppression of tribes that are not supporting Ghaddafi....
Seeing how the ruling family is taking an uneven share of the country's wealth....
Etc...

Or do you think that economic life conditions are the only reason people might revolt?
