doritji Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 what about Somalia? they've been in a state of anarchy since 1991 this from wiki Well the thing is actually, that the media is interpreting it wrong. It's actually the world record of forming a government, not being without one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdensestate Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 ^Ah, okay, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doritji Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Basically, historically there's been the Flemings and the Walloons, and the Flemings speak Flemish and live in the north, and the Walloons speak French and live in the south. You go from the south of the country to the north and the second you cross the border all the signs switch languages to Flemish, everyone starts hating you for speaking French, etc. (Same way going the other direction.) In other words Belgium is just made up of two social groups that are culturally and linguistically separated and unwilling to deal with one another. Imo it's a miracle they've stayed as one country for so long. Well the reason why we stay together is the thing that makes it even more complicated: Brussels. They often compare it with 2 people wanting to break up but they can't because of their child :P Basically, Brussels is a French speaking part on Flemish 'territory'. Well not 100% French speaking, more like 75% or so. And well the thing is that our political structure is so damn complicated that it's killing itself.

doritji Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Oh and to top if off, there's the media saying that 'we pay taxes for the poor Wallons where there is a lot of unemployment' Sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
