[QUOTE="The Forsaken One, post: 303459, member: 799"] We don't have hasj and marihuana here. It's all just weed. ANd yes it is smoked alot by youths but that stops when they reach the age of about 23 and finish their university and stuff. It's not in one hundred years as damaging as alcohol. I rather see my friends stoned then drunk and puking all over the place. And yes we are liberal about almost everything but then again the only major problem we got in Holland are the immigrants from turkey and some north african countries that don't fit in and have a culture clash.... In Holland in the youthdetention centres almost 60% are illigal and immigrant youths..... 60% of the criminals is produced by less then 1 million immigrants while there are 17 million natives..... People here are getting annoyed and have already have a "extreme liberal" or extreme party in the gourvernment who are already taking on the immigrant situation and stuff... The people were just crying for someone to do something about it because all the older major parties said they would but the last 8 years they did jack XXXX so.. new party was formed... they got elected and teh single largest party! And elections over... and their Head man and party leader got shot.... And since then the whole country has fastened its ideas it seems. But it sadly is a fact that our liberality about everything gets abused by immigrants from certain places of the world... chinese and asians and other europeans are great and they work and they blend in and add to society. Other economic refugees are just leeches who abuse social healthcare and social funds for the unemployed..... BUT I'm hyjacking my own thread =] But I''m glad we are liberal about almost everything... it hasn't resulted in any problems so, low crime rates, people are happy, around 150.000 unemployed people on a population of 17 million (Worker population of around 6.5 million). (And again yes youths here use alot of soft drugs like Weed/Grass but again it is less harmfull then alcohol which is highly overused by youths here, well not overused but they start to use it from a age of 15 which is even earlier then the legal age of 16 here.) ----------------------- lol :) Thank you! *shrugg* Sorry to heat that it seems true.... damn I'm glad I live in a very safe country and in a very safe area in that as well, some major cities have bad neighbourhoods but thats it. Just one thing, GREAT POST!!!!!! I love it and it has to many humerous things and good points to quote and go over! I read it all 2 times and it's 99% good! I like it! Thanks for the post it's really constructive and it rocks! My thanks :) I missed that one as well... Thanks for the good post! And everyone else who cared to shed a light on the *go-on* culture of the states. It's been helpfull thanks all for explaining that! I might have put that the wrong way, I was talking not about crime as a whole like mugging and some petty crime, but about the armed robberies, the rapes, the murders and you know. The heavy stuff. And it seems to have been confirmed throughout the thread by several others :) And again Warlord Ralts, GREAT post! [/QUOTE]
