LOL!

Yeah, the translation of words and pronounciation of the words are so bad sometimes, everytime when I watch a tv programm and they interview a Dutch guy/woman in English, I'm like O god, pls interview someone else...

I live in Amsterdam and I love it .

i lived in the netherlands for the last 5 years and I don't think I could come back to Paris.
I live in Scheveningen (The Hague neighbourhood) and it's awsome to live in a city like this;
1) Bikers are KING
2) Sea is near
3) Usually people in the street always try to help you
4) Almost every Dutch speak English

But in Paris:
1)it's pollutated
2)you can't use your bike except if you wanna die ....
3)People in the street are real "basta*ds" (well not all ^^)
4)The governement can't do anything without having people manifasting ....


btw : Speklap and patatjes mayo FTW !!!!

Never been there but I'm planning to go in 2008. The UK first. I'll probably visit Belgium as well if I go to the Netherlands.

And why would one want to visit Belgium?
People only come here if they want to fight wars.

Fight wars? I don't get it man...what are u doing with Bf2 then? Dat noem je geen oorlogje voeren??  Leg uit...
Belgie heeft toch ook mooie steden om te bezoeken zoals waar jij woont of Brugge, Gent of Knokke....

And it's allowed to have several hemp plants just like in Holland. Belgium will finally become something but he have to leave those politically right thoughts to the French and start thinking. And yes i know about that crazy murder over an I-Pod...

Yes you really don't get, the thing about fighting wars was actually more of a joke.

Right. Most people praising the Netherlands are praising it for 2 reasons: drugs and Amsterdam. They're not really aware of the existence of Brugge, Gent or Antwerp and drugs aren't really a promotional item here so nobody would even think of coming here.

I'm not all that knowledgeable about our softdrugs legislation because I get the impression it's still not very clear. Softdrug use is legal only if you're of age (18) and if your use of it does not cause inconvience to other people meaning you can only use it in the confines of your own home or that of someone else who has no objections to you using it. Using softdrugs anywhere near a minor (under 18) is illegal. Posession of said softdrugs is limited to only a very minute amount (for personal use), the amount being such you have to buy new supplies every day (assuming you don't even smoke it that much). If you are caught in posession of anything more than this very small amount of substance, you will be considered a drug dealer and drug dealing is, of course, illegal. On the ownage of hemp plants I believe there was a note sent around to the courts saying you could have some but this note is not very clear so I'd say just consider the growing of such plants to be illegal.

And "Belgium will finally become something", I resent that remark. I think that kind of legalisation of drug use is a step in the wrong direction. Any use of drugs that alter your awareness or that have no other effect than becoming addictive other than as a prescribed medical treatment is objectionable in my eyes. This "softening" of the law did not occur just because there was political support for legalisation of softdrugs. This law was passed mainly because not considering some very minor drug use as a crime would lessen the stress on our justice system, which sucks big time.

" I think that kind of legalisation of drug use is a step in the wrong direction. Any use of drugs that alter your awareness or that have no other effect than becoming addictive other than as a prescribed medical treatment is objectionable in my eyes."

Why are most people getting drunk in weekends then?
And how much damage does that drinking do to your liver or brain? I'm not even talking about the agression(death/wounded by fights) caused by alcohol.
No the alcohol is legalized, so it is not so bad they say..... No man sorry you don't know what you are talking about. I've seen a documentary about alcoholics and they even said that alcohol is the most destructive drug in the world.

Ah, I knew the alcohol point was going to come up. But here's the thing: Alcohol, when used in moderation is not addictive. Alcohol doesn't necessarily get you drunk. Alcohol consumption to the point where it gets you intoxicated should be illegal also. There is some legislation on this (it is illegal to be drunk in public, but this should be expanded to being drunk in general) but there is practically no enforcement of this law.

I know full well the damage excessive alcohol use and addiction can do, thank you. Do I use alcohol? Yes. Have I ever gotten drunk? Never. A lot of people think getting drunk is like really fun. I think getting drunk is a f****** disgrace.
