    Films & Series WWII : tragic or comic ?

    I have to chime in here. There's a pletora of war-related German movies from the 50s. No comedies though, one of the most famous being Bernhard Wicki's "Die Bruecke" (The Bridge 1959), a classical anti-war movie. Other famous movies include the international blockbuster "Das Boot" (directed by...

    Why is it so special to turn 18 in Belgium ?

    I believe that's quite common in most Continental European countries. In Germany and Austria there is some sort of juvenile criminal law (comparable to Belgium) for minors under 18 years of age. So Belgium is not special in that regard at all.

    Politics Are euroskeptic parties mostly right-extremist and xenophobic ?

    I wouldn't call countries such as Switzerland and Norway fascist, racist or isolationist, just because their population has opted against joining the EU. I am also very critical of current EU institutions, the inflated bureaucracy and its fat political oligarchy, but I believe I am neither...

    Its wrong to hit girls

    I despise violence in general, unless it qualifies as an action of self-defense. However, I have to agree with your observation: I have never been beaten, hit, slapped, nipped and pinched by the "weaker sex" as much as in Japan (mind I am referring to everyday situations here). Time to...

    What the West does not owe to Islam

    Just a few remarks on the topic. I have never heard such a claim in any Western documentary, but I admit I haven't seen all of them. While we do not owe the existence of numerals, medical knowledge and science to Islam, we have to acknowledge the historical function of Islamic culture as...
