    What Europeans Think of Each Other

    in Humor - Spartan Jokes

    The only decent beer's English beer. Everything else is second best. And Bud..... well that's just piss in a bottle! :P

    Yeah, its warm in the hand, has a undefinable layr of chemical foam on it and when you take a sip you taste something bitter that tastes somewhat familiar, like something you tried at the age of 4....lol

    Nope, give me my Weizenbier

    About that in bold, it's ok, you're Dutch: enough said :-) - About the Underlined text, Are you sure you've been to Belgium? We have over 650 different kinds of beer, and you only by the taste of a few already -properly (;-))- you'll revise your statement, I'm sure.

    Yep, I'm Belgian, but part of my heart still lies in Brazil.

     

    As for the article:

    -The French: wouldn't call them arrogant but "chauvinistic" (if that word exists in English :P). What you have with the French too is that they will refuse to talk another language than French. Not that bad if you think about it, EXCEPT that they do the same in YOUR country ! (Actually, Belgium has 3 official languages, so everyone speaks French as well. But I can imagine in Holland that things may be more complicated ...)

     

    -The Italians: nothing I could confirm of what is stated in the article. Only thing I hated most about Italy (from my few visits) were EVERY SINGLE PIZZA TASTED LIKE CRAP (in my humble opinion)

     

    -The Germans: NO European (educated that is) would EVER mention WWII in a teasing/mocking way towards a German.

    In general, Europeans would never cheer for Germany in a World Cup ... Reasons only Europeans know ;-)

    I personally find Germans extremely funny and strangly enough a lot indeed lack some humor.

     

    - The Scandinavians: Can't really confirm/deny anything here. I work for a major Danish company and they're "too correct" if you know what I mean.

     

    - The Elite Belgians: Title says enough :-) ... One thing I would like to say: We love to joke (in a friendly manner) with the Dutch and there has been and always will be a sort of competition in about everything you can imagine. Though (and I believe this goes both ways) we'll always cheer for eachother in competitions when one or the other is out of that competition.

     

    Can see the list goes on, but no time here to finish my side today. So maybe already too boring, but that's it for today !

     

    BELGIUM !!!

    As far as I know Belgium is ready to fall apart, and then there will only be 300 beers per part left....

    No I like Bavarian beer over anything, the Rheinheitsgebot makes the beer proper to drink, not too heavy (like many Belgian Monastery beers, and not giving a headake like Jupiler. I've been to Belgium a couple of times, and I like the Bourgondic way of living, and during Autumn I like a Belgian beer too. But my second homeland is Bavaria (were my grandmother came from) Outside Europe I'd like to visit my other familys roots in South Afrika and Indonesia, but taht will come when I have my buss pass....lol

     

    Knife Control:

    Over here across the pond the violence itself decreases, but! The violence reported gets more serious )stab wounds-bullet holes' and the age on which the events occur decrease (13yo´s).... giving bad hope for the future....

    Most discotheks over here have metal detectors and 2 guards at the door... but that doesn't help if the person after having some drinks walks to his car gets a gun and shoots the one he argued with... so gun control needs to improve. The Dutch radio reported this morning that the ones legally posessing guns (18000 in holland) hardly ever get checked (mental health, gun in safe apart from a different safe with ammo)...

    anyone a link to the blog? I like to read stories from Irak and Afghanistan....

    Keep going Postal, know there are people over here too admiring you for the tough job you do.... It's easy watching the telly reading, but being there under fire is totally different.

    Sometimes the adveturous me wishes I had joinet the Army, but then my ratio kicks in and tells me just to watch the Unit, or read a book of Crhis Ryan....

    Best chefs, you mean in the cooking way? Rolfmao, we have 3 chefs that do television shows too, that are mor fun than Gordon Ramsey and the guy with that split between his front teeth, I can't recal (Jamie Oliver) his name....lol

    Ah well Every country has its charms, I like the Full English Breakfast, and the meat loafs they serve in Cornwall near the Tin mines (heavy on Salt, with a good pint of proper Beer)

    In France I like the croissants, and in Sweden I like the Girls, In Italy I like the Olives.... And in Belgium I like to make jokes about Belgians, And the German Beer is superior to all things on earth...
