I hope we never lose our First Amendment protections here and end up with speech police as they do in Europe and Canada!

"Well now, the result of last week's competition when we asked you to find a derogatory term for the Belgians. Well, the response was enormous and we took quite a long time sorting out the winners. There were some very clever entries. Mrs Hatred of Leicester Said 'let's not call them anything, let's just ignore them' ... and a Mr St John of Huntingdon said he couldn't think of anything more derogatory than Belgians. But in the end we settled on three choices: number three ... the Sprouts, sent in by Mrs Vicious of Hastings... very nice ; number two..... the Phlegms ... from Mrs Childmolester of Worthing; but the winner was undoubtedly from Mrs No-Supper-For-You from Norwood in Lancashire ... Miserable Fat Belgian Bastards. "

Europeans are so much more sophisticated than Americans. We haven't even begun to make Walloons a protected class.

The average American, if presented with a multiple-choice question about Walloons--

A. a French-speaking inhabitant of Belgium
B. an article of clothing in 18th-century Europe
C. an aquatic mammal

would just have to take a wild guess.

"Dutch-speaking Flemings and French-speaking Walloons"

Even the Dutch know what the French are.

"The 48-year-old husband filed a complaint for racism against his spouse for scratching him and calling him "a lazy Walloon, a slave and an inferior creature," De Standaard daily said."

This would also violate Texas law, and subject to arrest for assault causing bodily injury (family violence). Not because of the spoken words, but for "scratching him". Leave a mark on someone in your household in Texas because of a physical encounter like that, and its Assault CBI. The article isnt clear on the details of the arrest, in in Texas it would be a prosecutable case.

"... calling him "a lazy Walloon, a slave and an inferior creature"

And he responded, "How you English say ... I one more time-a unclog my nose in your direction, sons of a window-dresser! So, you think you could out-clever us French folk with your silly knees-bent running about advancing behavior! I wave my private parts at your aunties, you heaving lot of second hand electric donkey bottom biters."

From Douglass Adam's Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/hitchhikers/guide/belgium.shtml

Belgium.

Less offensive words have been created in the many languages of the galaxy, such as joojooflop, swut and Holy Zarquon's Singing Fish.

The use of bad language can have unforseen circumstances. One example is the war between the G'gugvunts and the Vl'hurgs, caused by a casual remark made by Arthur Dent being mistaken as a terrible insult.

Simultaneous Babel Fish translation also means that any being can be rude to any other being without the need for extensive explanations. This has also started many wars.

The reason the Earth has been shunned for so long is also due to a language problem. On Earth, Belgium refers to a small country. Throughout the rest of the galaxy, Belgium is the most unspeakably rude word there is.

The Belgians wouldn't know human freedom from a linguistic boo boo.

They're slaves and inferior creatures. All of them.

"Dutch-speaking Flemings and French-speaking Walloons are not only linguistically divided but also split socio-economically between a prosperous Flanders and a poorer Wallonia"

--- You can tell the moment you cross from the German part of Belgium to the fwench part. The towns go from clean to filthy. There is a distinct change in the attitudes of the people.
