Well, our electoral system doesn't award a seat in Congress proportionally. There is a different election held for each seat in Congress. The person who wins the most votes for that individual seat goes to Congress.


I knew that already :)

It's entirely a question of preference whether you want your political system to be able to represent more fringe political views. I believe there are definitely advantages to the American system if done well (local representation in federal matters for example), but on the whole I prefer our system.

If we had an American style system, it's very likely that our politics would devolve into a left vs right battle too, which goes against our tradition of compromise (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polder_model ). And I like how certain parties have very loyal followings. Our animal rights party for example could never exist in a US style system. And neither could the PVV, the nationalistic anti-islamic party. Or the SGP, the party for ultra-conservative Reformed Christians.

All of these parties have contributed to society in a way. And yes, these politicians could have joined a more mainstream, non-radical party to try to push their beliefs from the inside. But I do think this approach is more successfull in giving them a voice.

1) Your junk food is trash, ofc you're not gonna celebrate anything else than just eating more junk jood at some occasions (like every day ?). You cant even compare french food and shitty american food, it would be unfair lmao.
Yeah frenchies are becoming slowly as fat as americans simply because some of them takes americans habits, such as going to MacDo, etc.
Only a bit of politics will could change all that, people with a bit of braincells will not touch it anyways.

2) For this chemtrails theory, I already said what I think about it. Now please bro, just look from where does all thoses stupid theories are coming from, guess what bro ?
Thery're all coming from your country, isn't it funny bro ?
I could add scientology, Mormonts, alien theories, Nasa not been in Moon, more recently gender theory lol, all thoses stupid sects, etc etc.
Now geo-ingeneering and climate manipulations are a thing but that's different from stupid chemtrails.

3) You mentioned previously how superior is your country with all thoses scientists and good universities.
Yeah bro that's a cool story, you have great schools that only 1% have access to.
That is why americans for the most part are still fucking illiterate pigs that knows nothing about anything.
Well I guess we cant totally blame them but the stupid crap educative american system.
Like they're gonna repeat the same jokes about france totally excluding the fact that nobody ever took the country despise many attempts in history.
At that time usa was not even existing so we cannot compare.

4) https://www.statista.com/statistics/263156/water-consumption-in-selected-countries/
You were right on this, actually numbers are more like 4300+ liters/day/hab. Not only thoses idiots are fatty horrible monsters but they're also killing the planet faster than anyone.

deal with it


1. I don't know why you keep trying to include yourself amongst a group of "people that have brain cells." French cuisine isn't the best anyways. Barbecue is the best, and you're crazy if you think the French have mastered BBQ.

2. Oh, you're not into chemtrails too? So it's just those retarded 9/11 conspiracies, huh?

3. That's right. Unlike France, dumb people don't generally get into good universities.

4. Total water consumption includes industrial applications, like processing corn into ethanol. Besides, you French fucks could stand to take a few more showers anyways, because you people stink.

I had American BBQ in Dublin a few weeks ago (it was actual American BBQ, beef ribs, pulled pork, chicken). It was pretty good but it did not live up to the massive hype that it gets online. Yeah the meat is tender and you get the smoky flavor, and there's loads of meat on your plate. I'd still rather have boeuf bourguignon than bbq beef ribs I think. Just as tender and a bit more complex in the flavor profile. Could of course be that that place isn't that great but it was very well reviewed online.
