Don't be such a spoilsport. It's great to get to learn more about the Netherlands, like how the Meuse is a sort of cultural border, or how the Dutch can't shut up about their country.
Part of why Dutchies are so internationally oriented (at least we used to be) is that our country is so incredibly boring, so I'd take all of this with a grain of salt :p

It's a joke.

Everything above the rivers (the Maas) considers Limburg (and Brabant) to be stupid farmers.
And in Limburg we consider the Randstad (Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Utrecht-The Hague) to be dumb city folk :p

Luckily we have the numbers on our side in Limburg (level of primary schools + high schools is much better here than there for example) :p

Where does Gesink belong in all this? A stupid farmer or a dumb city folk?:p

Well belgium doesn't even have a proper government so no wonder your schools are not great in flanders.

Our schools are in the top 10 of the world ACF :p plus KULeuven University is like the 60th best University in the world :p
