this is pretty dumb imo, Obama has done this a lot too. Surprise, when publicly speaking, people make mistakes!

The news is that in the last few days belgium has undone a huge building project. Turning the entire nation into 1 big city. The worlds first hypertropolis.

People here make threads about what X or Y has said all the time, I don't see how it should be different for this.

That would be a [URL="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalopolis_(city_type)"]Megalopolis[/URL].
Every single mistake you make in a presidential race is going to be magnified by the opposition, I expect that this won't be the last time this happens.

You're right, I almost got killed by a terrorist last time I went to Brussels !
But seriously, it's far from a hellhole, only Molenbeek is less safe but it's still far from a dangerous place.

Whew lad.
On topic, this is just political talk, nothing more. Politicians being Politicans and swaying with public opinion.
So how come we don't see what he says after?
So if America is gonna be great country, and Belgium is a great city, what is europe ? A fucking planet ?

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;50532737]What a surprise. Clinton and Trump flip-flop more than any politicians I can think of.[/QUOTE]
I don't get how this is a flip flop. It's not even a contradictory set of statements. It's definitely not comparable to Hillary's amazing almost robotic reprogramming esque flip flops like suddenly pretending she's always been a proud supporter of gay marriages.

I wouldn't want to live in or near the proven terrorism hub of the EU, sorry.

I didn't post it because Trump said it. If it was Hillary or Bernie I still would have posted it.

It's more disdain that this is news rather than your posting of it, but it doesn't help.
It's possible for a beautiful city to tragically be a hellhole at the moment.

Looking at pics of Brussels it really is pretty. Looks like Disney World at night or something

Well it'd be nice if you posted a source that gave some context, "is a beautiful city" was clearly a setup for something and not the statement.
[editline]16th June 2016[/editline]
It'd be funny if he just stopped at that and shifted gears but I doubt it
[QUOTE=Cypher_09;50532712]Brussels is a beautiful city, but it's a hellhole atm.[/QUOTE]
It's not though, I got there a few times a week. Never any problems, it's one of the most fun cities to visit in Belgium.

Sure, on the surface and on most days, but stop living in denial at how much terrorist activity is known to prevail behind closed doors in various networks around Brussels. It's a subject of international media. I'm not here to convince you anyway, it's your deal if you aren't aware.

Everyone should see it before they die.

Its really pretty but it does tend to get super busy. I'm pretty keen on antwerp, not quite as picturesque as bruges but a really beautiful city, if anyone visits try to go in summer to catch the "summer bars" while they're open.

I think belgium in general is beautiful and really friendly and pretty small so you can cycle to nearby cities fairly easy and its cheap.
I seriously love the place.
