I'd be interested in what the belgians of this board have to say, especially if they're in the flemish-speaking region. I wasn't aware that the language was such a contentious issue. |

well it is quite annoying that either people from Limburg or Belgian can talk and understand dutch very well, but always talk in their own dialect which can be very inunderstandable to dutch people. Especially in a job where you have to talk to dutch customers alot, how annoying is it to run up with a flat tire to a garage in holland, and ask if they can fix the tire and the guy fucking asks me if i want zuurkool met worst for good measure. |

i have to add to that: maybe firing someone over this is alittle bit harsh. |

welcome to belgium lol for the flemish, language IS an important issue, they (well it's not generalized, but the gov tend to have that kind of attitude) feel kind of insulted if you live there without speaking well the language (that i understand) they passed (or tried passing) a law to enforce and control homes and families with nearly privacy-invading and discriminating techniques like coming at your home for a surprise test that if failed you were obligated to follow paying courses to perfect your level the problem is that they wanted you to have such a high level that many people (mainly foreigners) weren't given a just chance and were kind of 'forced" to go away it's a really touchy issue sometimes, specially when elections are coming, and they are, federal elections the 10th of june :D it's going to be sad, again... ^^ |

ultimately this is not about language. this has been a thing in holland too. it reminds me of this time i was appalled by these ten politeness rules a city proposed to its citizens. along nine great rules some fascist had snuck in you had to speak dutch in the streets, like even when you were just walking there as a turk with just turkish friends for instance. however in a factory it's quite different, if only because you'll have to do what the boss says. however too this is also a flemish - wallonian issue. because that led to right wing crap like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlaams_Blok |
