Well Vinman, if you had read around, maybe you would know what belgium has done for the world:
Contributions to the development of science and technology have appeared throughout the country's history. The sixteenth century Early Modern flourishing of Western Europe included cartographer Gerardus Mercator, anatomist Andreas Vesalius, herbalist Rembert Dodoens, and mathematician Simon Stevin among the most influential scientists. In the first half of the seventeenth century, the Walloon method of making bar iron found its way to Sweden where it remained in use for more than two hundred and sixty years.
The quickly developed and dense Belgian railroad system caused major companies like Brugeoise et Nivelles (now the BN division of Bombardier) to develop specific technologies, and the economically important very deep coal mining in the course of the First Industrial Revolution has required highly reputed specialized studies for mine engineers.
The end of the nineteenth century and the twentieth saw important Belgian advances in applied and pure science. The chemist Ernest Solvay and the engineer Zenobe Gramme gave their names to the Solvay process and the Gramme dynamo, respectively, in the 1860s. Georges Lemaître is credited with proposing the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe in 1927. Three Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine were awarded to Belgians: Jules Bordet in 1919, Corneille Heymans in 1938, and Albert Claude and Christian De Duve in 1974. Ilya Prigogine was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1977.
Contributions to painting and architecture have been especially rich. The Mosan art, the Early Netherlandish, the Flemish Renaissance and Baroque painting, and major examples of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture are milestones in the history of art.

So I think they've done alot, proposing the Big bang theory, developing a strong railways system, the solvay process to name but a few. Aswell as their contributions to the world of art. So i think you should do some reading before saying things like that.

, the baroque period after, belgium can be hailed for the development in not only qart and sculpture but also music.
I never said that, and fuck me, I'm not an Italy supporter either. But what sets me apart from this Mark kid, apart from debating skills and football knowledge, is that I don't hate the nation and the club I support. That Mark kid hates Italy, hates Ligue 1, but supports Juventus and France. Does that make any sense to you?
He probably supports France exactly because of Juve.
Hell, at certain periods we even gave more french nt players than italians. Maybe he loved Zidane or Trez or Deschamps so much that he started supporting France and Italy kicking their ass in the final last summer made him hate Italy.
Just my theory
Hey, Vinny, i know we enjoy insulting each other but trust me when i say that i think you're a very good guy. But it's funny of you to compare your IQ with Seven's. That's nature, we can't change much. He's simply more intelligent than you are
As for IQ tests. I took many of those, but mostly those amateur tests on the net. I didn't like most of them, but i like this one : http://www.highiqsociety.org/iq_tests/
I play the TA3 test. Everytime you take it it's different. I never had less than 118 and never more than 134. Those Visual memory questions are killing me.
