Putting myself on the chopping block
Rod Damon
I thought I would respond to the question that keeps getting trolled up from time to time and offer it as incentive to get some people to the negotiating table.
A few on my favorite Phoenix readers keep wanting to know when I will leave Belgium.
Here is the answer:
I will serve out the remainder of my elected term of office and then leave
PROVIDED both Phoenix and EDEN tactical voters are reduced by 300 voters each.
With that accomplished, I will feel better regarding Belgium's future and independence. I still believe more will need to be eliminated, but if I were to set too high a goal, I am sure I would be accused of stalling.
I feel 300 is a reasonable number.
It is a nice round number.
It was a cool movie.
So lets start putting the pressure on the leaders of all Phoenix and EDEN PTO/ATO groups.
Get your members to sign up on the Belgian Census so that they can be counted.
Lets get 600 citizens back to their original nationalities.
Let's allow Belgium to live without the threats of PTO from either alliance.

nothing else to say : too much propaganda in newspapers for the moment.
Elynea,
Don't know what your issue is with someone making a company and offering jobs to Belgian citizens. It is called free enterprise. I would rather people are working for private companies then have to have the government step in and try to run things.
Elynea,
Not sure what you have against private business. Personally I am glad someone is actually investing in Belgium.
That is the state of the Belgian Press. If I got better responses to my lighter articles, might have more of those.
I'm aparently experiencing some problems with posting comments, eRep is glitching on me a bit.
I'm not that optimistic and I'm afraid that 300 will be a too high number, so you probably won't be leaving before the next elections - but I think you're aware of it too. Anyway, I hope BLT will find the needed support and we can all come to wave you guys off 😛
We must buy production of belgian's companies for the economy of the country, not only for one person.
yes aldous, bug erep. You don't see at once the message and we can't blame Rod *_^
I'm trying to work here in Belgium, hire Belgians at my company, and buy Belgian products, but I can't find any Belgian companies to buy from.
At least the Rez Belgica party is trying to do something, trying to encourage new citizens and get the economy going. If 600 Belgians switched their nationality there would be no one left.
The 600 I am talking about are not part of the Belgian economy. They all live and work in Hungary, Russia, USA, Spain, Poland, etc etc
What's wrong with my company? It provides the cheapest food in the COUNTRY! Much cheaper than what you'd call "real belgian" company that has over 800 stock but refuses to lower the price, waiting until I run out of stock to gouge the market! Did you ever think that perhaps I started the company to help our country, or do you prefer existing companies to ruin the market. Do you have a business interest in such companies? Hogwash!
higher food prices for belgium!
Apparently! I just got a business threat from a rival BELGIAN company wanting me to raise my food price so all food can be 7 BEF! This is crazy, complain about me being the only employee? Did you see that I offer jobs on the market for 0 skill workers? Or how about my lack of employees allow for nice, cheap food! Talk about helping your country, then ridicule someone for doing it. Thanks...
noooo Rod, you can't leave!! You've already done so much.
Everyone knows Rod stands for "Rbelgium Oneeds Drod"
I'm ready to be American again! 🙂
You have the right to make it kylero.
🙂 But that's not going to happen :/
Well... I'm actually quite bored of my Belgium nationality and will propably change it soon. I'm just looking for some new country to pTO 😉
Don't forget that I'm the evil EDEN pTO-er!!! grrr!!
kryty,
Please make sure your countrymen sign up.
thanks
I would buy from you Kylero, but I was looking to buy grain....
Daniecox, I'll leave if you will. Heck, I'll leave even if you *claim* you will. That really is good enough for me.
