Belgium has a government!

[Martinus]

Secession from a democracy is evil.

Ide goes too far but the truth is that there can be no secession from a democracy unless a majority agrees to it - and not just the minority that wants to secede.

A unilateral secession from a democracy is no different from a unilateral decision to start murdering people or robbing banks.

[Ideologue]

No.

But it is (rather practically, not just theoretically) not very different from a decision of a minority group to stop paying their taxes.

[Neil]

Don't think of it as secession.  Think of it as the ejection of the Walloons.

Besides, only a Sith deals in absolutes.

And they have the cool zap powers and get to fuck Natalie Portman.  Advantage: absolutes.

Of the four Sith depicted, only one got to fuck Natalie Portman, and he was rewarded by having his genitals burned off.  Two of them never zapped anything.  With your luck, you'd be freaky-looking Darth Maul.

[Neil]

No.

But it is (rather practically, not just theoretically) not very different from a decision of a minority group to stop paying their taxes.

Except in this case we're talking about the majority seceding.
