Quoting: Anonymous Coward 852536Perchance that has as much to do with America as with the Dutch. If you ask people the world over if they have a favourable opinion of the US, America only scores better then Israel, Iran, and North-Korea. You guys have a very serious public image problem. The Dutch are an opinionated and vocal lot. And 90% of them have access to the 'net and know a bit of English. So they stick out a bit more. Also, liberal ain't a cuss-word over here. It doesn't even mean the same thing. Liberal=socialist. Liberal comes from liberty. Not every country has the same backwards definition of the word as you do. Yes, and following that logic, 'social' should equate to something like 'sociable' or 'friendly,' so how does a 'socialist' end up as something equating to 'communist?' A 'socialist' should be someone who regards the good of the 'society' that they are a part of, yes? I was just called a 'liberal elitist' by one of my fellow-citizens, and I believe that they were trying to call me a bad name; in my experience, 'elitists' care nothing for true liberalism... it's all about ME... not 'you' or 'them.' So turned around... But please try to remember that we Americans are not all bad, either... just born in a bad place, maybe, at a bad time. Oh, and before another one of my fellow-citizens deigns to drop the 'liberal socialist' hammer again, I would just like to say that my own father fought two wars on behalf of your right to call me fucking names, and I myself have spent the last 21 years raising my three children without one bit of help from anyone... much less their 'manly' fathers. In order not to be a drain on my precious society, I have worked 80 hours a week at a minimum wage job for the last two years in order NOT to need your welfare, or even food stamps. We are neither spoiled, nor 'socialists.' So, don't waste your breath on me, brother; if you haven't walked in my shoes, keep your fat (and likely very well-fed) mouth shut. That's all... thank you. |

He seemed real friendly, and very interested in the people and culture here. He was excited to talk to someone who had done some travelling in the US. Quoting: Ricfly52He was very happy to be in the southwest. He said he is looking forward to real hot weather. Since it is always pretty cool in the Netherlands. I figure he has a huge suprise waiting for him there! Hope he has his papers with him! |

You people love big government. I do not. Government should be small and out of our lives as much as possible. Freedom is a God given right. We should promote freedom over the entire world. You call us stupid, greedy, and self centered. You do not know America. Most posts I read on here from the Dutch are dragging down Americans. I am simply sick and tired of this shit. The Dutch and Europeans in general are arrogant. Fuck off! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 944171Big goverment whahaha we have a small goverment. FUCK AMERICA Are you out of your mind? Our (socialist) government is huge and is spreading like a cancer, it grows and it grows with all its parasites. I'm sick and tired of this 'entitlement' thingy in our country. And most of Europe, and now it's also starting in USA. And yes, I'm Libertarian and proud of it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 952386 France 05/01/2010 05:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i lived in Nederland for over a decade. as an American i can tell you the tolerance only counts for 1) homos 2) marijuana and 3) prostitution. the dutch are in fact very intolerant. the social control is that country is so much that you can barely breathe. neighbours stick their nose in your business etc. it has become a nazi country with laws like "identificatie verplicht" where police stop huge crowds and search them and ask for ID even if you've done nothing wrong. "dutch courage" is an expression that means dutch needs booze to get courage and show themselves. they have borg hive-mentality and everyone thinks the same about everything. group is everything and individual means nothing. the dutch have no boundaries. the government is HUGE and controls your life from the day you're born until the day you die. the dutch haven't changed since their slave-trading days. they're control freaks and stubborn and irritating. they're a nasty race and i can't understand why anyone would want to live there i could go on and on. YUCK! glad to be back in the united states. their favorite expression is "niks aan te doen" which means "you can't do anything about it"..that's why they tolerate so much bullshit because they have no control over anything. government controls everything. they are the most mind-controlled idiots on the planet! |

Ofcourse there are people from Holland you dont like, but hell.. why should I like everyone who calls himself an American? Stop judging and find a better way to use your energy instead of this bs. btw. Im heading for NY in about 3 hours from now. After that South Carolina. It should give me a proper view of Americans. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 566027 Netherlands 05/01/2010 06:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | America is still one of the best *overall* countries in the world. No, it is far from perfect, but if you travel much, you will know what I mean. Yes, there is more polarization and issues today than 10 years ago, but heck, the same applies in Holland and many other countries The Americans are generally very helpful and the nature and sights can be just amazing (depending on which part of this huge country you are in). The Netherlands is also a good country. Yes, has it's issues, but it is relatively save, with a nice country-side and history and also very central for springing off to other EU destinations. (Many international companies in Holland, just for that reason.) The Dutch are VERY helpful with tourists and will gladly, generally, speak English willingly. Dutch can actually be MUCH more friendly with foreign visitors than their own people in many cases! Leave politics largely out and I think you'll see most countries are filled with fine people. |
