As a bias Yank, you don't have the right to judge my statement, ever heard of americans who think that amsterdam only contains weed and hookers.

i'm not based on one program! lot's of those program's contain american's not cloghopping dutchman's.

We can't blame Duchman, besides I think he may well be in our camp.

All they would get out there would be coverage on Columbine etc. The biased media gives them a distorted view.

In addition, how many of us Americans think that all Canadians live in Igloos and hunt seals and polar bears. Or that (as Aaron said) that every single Dutch shop's front window has a prostitute in it.

The fact is people have misconceptions about other places they have never been to, that is just the way it is and human nature.

Aaron man, a lot of those Dutch laws sound very f*cked up. Like your Dad going to jail for punching out an intruder.

You really should think about joining the Dutch equivalent of the NRA. If you guys had a large lobby group like the NRA you may start to be able to get some of those f*ck*d up laws changes.

C ya.

mik,
the laws about unarmed selfdefence are not f*cked up, but the way the court handels them is f*cked up!
But the weapon laws are f*cked up
