        Belgians actually dont see the use either. If you light 1 of every 3/4 posts, we would be just as safe and save so much money/energy!

        This is no longer completely true... In fact, most of the lights are out these days because of budget costs and an increasing concern for the environment.

        Will this system be able to cope with increased migrant demand? what is the lighting situation in molenbeek? Could budget be diverted to LEO entities to prevent the continuing wave of migrant crime in europe?

        1) increased or decreased migration will not impact this in any direction. 2) The lighting situation in Molenbeek is the same as everywhere else in Belgium. 3) More immigrants would not result in more road lighting. #Troll

        Please enlighten us on how this relates to excessive road lighting. As to "Terrorist hell", what's life like being so afraid of something statistically less likely to kill you than a member of your family?https://twitter.com/Robin_of_Aniara/status/877421033174704128 …

        Belgian Eurocrats wasting taxpayer cash on excessive lighting while their cities literally burn. FYI I lost family members to muslim terrorist attacks. I know that some snowflakes don't leave the twitterverse, but muslim violence is a daily reality for many.

        a) You losing family members to a terrorist attack is a statistical anomaly, providing it is even true. Your fear is irrational. Regardless. b) Literally, it doesn't mean what you think it does. Greetings from Belgium.

        Greetings from Earth - where thousands die every day due to Islam. Fortunately scientific and secular progress continues to be made worldwide despite your rhetoric. Just because the west abandons logic about borders doesn't mean the now dominant asians will.

        Nice attempt at pinning violence on one religion only. "God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did." -George Bush Then there's this:https://news.sky.com/story/rohingya-crisis-is-very-deliberate-genocide-former-un-general-romeo-dallaire-says-11169354 …
