Strange, we have a similar question on the driving test in Belgium http://members.chello.be/sf15772/vaag/wegcode.jpg.

I assume that most of us have not learned Dutch (or Flemish or whatever you like to call it in Belgium). I haven't either, but combining my knowledge of English, German and Danish I reached this translation:

Question 1: On the motorway, you are followed by a jet fighter which flashes to pass you:
a) I stop drinking in the morning.
b) I pull out in the left lane a little faster than usual to avoid him passing me.
c) I take the next exit because (something with a rocket he fired in war), the military cannot be trusted.

The picture in the test is hilarious, by the way.

Sorry, it does Happen. Here in Belgium 99% of the broadband providers limit your transfers to a certain monthly amount (usually 10GB, but the more you pay the more you get). And as far as I know only 3 providers give unlimited transfer. Two of them are cable operators, in which one gives you the no limits connection as standard and the other one charges you 60+ a month for unlimited access. And these 2 companies only offer their services in certain parts of Belgium.. The third one is an ADSL provider which gives you a 500MB limit but once you go over the limit you only pay 5 per month no matter how far you go.

US troops are quite capable of killing innocent people without any help from Saddam's regime. Your so called 'smart' weapons still do this, this and this.

Your precious OIL is not worth ONE childs life. 'Colateral Damage'??!? WTF? Get real.

You stupid patriots seem to ignore the fact that Iraq is ENERGY POLICY not a humanitarian effort to relieve the population of Iraq from a brutal dictator. Why don't you go and google riverbend and see what a REAL Iraqi thinks about the US OCCUPATION.

Whilst I sympathise with poor soldiers who give their lives for something they believe in, it makes me cry to think that they are the victims of an evil and dishonest regime - ie the USG. Just remember: it takes two to make a lie.

Answer me this: Who PUT Saddam in power in the first place? Do you really understand? Who IGNORED the gassing of civilians when it suited them? Who continues to THIS DAY to interfere and meddle in the affairs of other countries FOR THEIR OWN FINANCIAL BENEFIT?

Wake the fuck up.
