Ask a silly question/get a smart answer-thread

Number forty nine.

Why do people accuse each other so easily even if they do not know the background of the cases?
 
You're right, I should have put the radio volume down...

(I can not concentrate when I listen to music and accidents do happen)
When i die I want to go Quick just like dear old Grandad. Not screaming in horror, paralyzed in fear like his passenger

500km? What country are we talking about? Because if it was in my country that would mean a job in the neighboring countries.

Belgium is such a small country?

I mean a little bigger country such as America and Finland.

But what would you say if the employment office give you a job which is two hundred kilometres away from your home?



In above image the orange circle represents 500km from the place where I live so I would have me a good laugh if they offered me a job as far as Switzerland or Wales. Belgium is roughly about 250km across, even 200km is unpractical. If I'm not mistaken the distance for which you have to take the job is about 30km in Belgium. But to answer your question, I don't mind long distances as long as it's within reasonable boundaries. And by that I mean I should be able to reach it since I don't have a car, without spending to much time or money (compared to what I earn and working hours).

So you have small distance in every direction.

I once drove throught Belgium and I noticed that there are not many hills.

Very flat or should I say low country.

Ideal terrain for... German tanks. >;D
 
Number fifty.

Why female drivers are so much worse than men?

200k is way the outside limit of what you should be required to drive. And I think it's still too damn far. By highway alone, that's 2 hours. What if it isn't by highway?

Going back to the 90's, there was a regional loss prevention manager for our company. He lived a short drive from his office but decided to buy a house in Wilkes-Barre, PA. He would drive to Woodbridge, NJ every day 130 miles, 2 1/2 hours each way. My girlfriend saw his check for travel. The company was giving him $1700 per month for his trip. Made me want to think, should I get $170 a month if I drive 13 miles to work?
 
Number fifty five.

Would you go to dinner with Ron Jeremy?

:) Considering our history Belgium has been used as a parking lot by the Dutch, French, Germans, Spaniards, Austrians, ... Our land has always been popular as an arena for their wars you know.

Yes, Belgium has always been the German shortcut.

Fortunately the Belgian have fought against invaders and not surrender as soon as Danish and Norwegians in 1940.

Why does the U.S. always defend Israel?

I wasn't only talking about WW II, but 2000 years of history with 1000's of skirmishes, looting, battles and war.

Number fifty six.

Would you eat a frog?

I'm vegetarian

Money, resources and it's a military strategic important place in the Middle East. It's an embarrassment they keep supporting Israel whatever may be.

-The fate of small countries is always rugged.

-It is said that If you criticize Israel you are nazi.

Nevertheless I must say that their foreign policy is unwise.
