    There's a lot of complaining about it, but it's not too bad. With the cities being quite close to eachother, the connection is pretty good. Although if something's wrong in Utrecht, traveling by train from the west to the east becomes quite the hassle.

    Isn't Ciudad Juárez in Mexico the most dangerous city in the world?

    That reminds me, dont you people have a sort of bible belt (something to do with white socks and "stijlen").

    You mean like flemish Limburgians or the Dutch version of them.

    Well, there are quite a few religious people in some parts of the country, I don't know exactly where though.

    Is there a protestant majority in Holland?

    Nope, actually Catholicism is the largest religion, but it isn't a majority. Protestantism used to be the state religion, but it never became a majority. Most people aren't religious at all, I hardly know anyone that would consider themselves religious. Most people don't care about religion at all.

    Despite the fact that the Netherlands was a protestant stronghold in northwestern continental Europe for centuries, but now the majority of the population is catholic...

    Most religious people in the north are protestant and in the south most religious people are catholic...

    I attend a protestant school in a predominantly catholic region...

    Where I live it's mostly catholic. But in other places there are a lot more protestants.

    Did you notice there are hardly any patriots or nationalists in the Netherlands?

    Yes, she does. How'd you know? How'd you even know where Nootdorp is?

    ...or spoken to one. I think there are none. There probably are more communists than nationalists, if there are any communists at all. There are some nationalist parties, though. Like:
    de Fryske Nasjonale Partij,
    de Nederlandse Volks-Unie (I think neo-nazi's),
    de Partij voor het Noorden,
    Mooi Utrecht,
    and Partij Nieuw Limburg,

    Did you know there also is a party focused on banning the royal family and turning the Netherlands in the kind of "democracy" the USA is? It's called de Repubilkeinse Moderne Partij.

    Nationalists do exist, obviously. They just don't show it off as much like the ones in the US do. Just like all of the thousands of PVV voters. They should be everywhere, but almost no-one admits they voted for them.

    Just saw it on a map and read it somewhere...

    Almost half a million people voted PVV last parliamentary election... So yes, those voted PVV could be anyone and anywhere...

    Getting rid of the royalty wouldn't be a bad thing. Right now, they're only a target that costs us fucktons of money.

    But it's also a kind of business card for tourists and fucktards people like them.

    I would be ashamed if I were a PVV voter...

    Why is it that people always think of drugs when we talk about the Netherlands? Did you know that the amount of people who tried marijuana here is 25%, and in US 40%?

    Tourists mainly come here for the drugs, hookers and tulips. That's about it. Oh yeah, there are a few that come for the beaches and waterworks, but that's about it.

    Yup, most museums in Amsterdam are closed because of renovation or something...
