LTA no we have no equivalent, since something like that never happened

well the communautairy conflict.
Belgium like the US is a federal state: consisting out of 3 smaller States:
Flanders, Wallon and Brussels. (Brussels doesn't really matter)
In Flanders they speak dutch, in Wallon they speak french, in Brussels they speak both.

Well now through-out the belgian history until about the 1950's the wallons had the political and economical power. French was the upper language, they had more money (due to coal and steel industry), most of parliament was wallon, the prime minister was wallon and so on. But around the 1960's the flemish gained the upperhand economicaly (coal mines were closed, Flanders had their own steel industry), we had Antwerp. So slowly we also gained political power (since there are more flemish then there are wallons) In belgium we have 15 ministers, counting the prime minister, so that makes 7-7+1, the +1 is the prime minister which has been a flemish for the last 20-25 years. Since there are more flemish ppl.

This situation always comes up when parliament or goverment disagree on something, it is actualy very bad for our politics. It is not like in Northren Ireland but they will, from time to time, try to sabotage the other side.

well I explained it very briefly now, cause a lot more things are envolved

no need to back away LTA 🙂

*puts on cup just in case*

*LTA runs like hell until he is cornered on top of a large building, then waits for Storm to try to slash his head open. LTA dodges easily and pushes Storm over the edge of the 30 story building before he can recover... sorry, but your dead*

am not 😛
*grabs a cable before falling over the edge and swings to the next building*

*LTA looks for a second and is reminded of Tarzan* "You Ape!" LTA yells. *LTA falls on purpose, trys to grab the cable, but misses it. Fortunatly, a open truck with no top on the back is carrying a full load of pillows, and LTA lands safely, rushes to next building and meets you face to face at one of the exits*
(Your move)

😕 anyway back on topic

I use Comcast broadband. I know someone must have explained this but an ISP is your Internet Service Provider.
