Being Flemish, my view on this is simple. As long as Flanders has its independance, the Walloons can do as they please. Stay independant, join France, form a federation with the Congo or even colonize the moon for all I care. No longer our concern then. As long as we don't have to form a country with them anymore, it's all good

the Walloons (...) colonize the moon for all I care.

Haha, it can be catastrophic, but send the Wallons and the Picards to the moon could be a nice solution.

The first building they'd put up there after they claimed it would probably be an unemployment office.

Yes exactly, and it will be the same with the Picards. These two stupids people should unite.

Not French French no. But Belgian French.. there is a difference in words, in grammar, pronunciation etc.

Ah? You have to explain it to me then, because I've never noticed any grammatical nor lexical differences between French spoken in Belgium and French spoken in France. They just pronounce the 'r' in a harsher way.
Your understanding of the French language must be better than mine.

And you aren't French (I know who you are but I won't give you away). I have actually heard it for myself when I was travelling through Wallonia and France and I barely speak any French but people do use different words and speak differently.

But you can look it up here on Wiki as well. Do they use words like bourgmestre (while we call him the burgemeester or in some cases the burgervader) in France ? No they don't. They call the good man the maire. And when they have the souper.. the French have dinner.


And when I leave the door open a Brusselois or a Walloon in general would complain "Ça tire ici" which is the same as "Het trekt hier" in Flemish Dutch while a Frenchman would look up arrogantly and scorn me "Il y a un courant d'air". When we have dinner together I would hope he would say "Ça me goûte !" and it is the same when he would say it in my language, Dutch, ("Dat (heeft ge-) smaakt !" while a Frenchman would say "ça me plait !"
