I was in Amsterdam about 10 years ago. Just loved it.
Wonderful country, wonderful, friendly people, great beers, and, nearly everyone I met could speak English, which is more than I can say about my experiences in France or Germany. As for O'Reilley, he's a pin head.

It looks like you have another troll here and I think he admits to being a retread. I haven’t looked at this post but his posting history is troll stuff.

“You bother me.
I will clean the cookies and come back as i do now for 5 years.
Its so much fun :o)

One thing all drug warriors have in common with environmentalists is that they have a real problem with reality.

Agreed. I just have to drive for 2 hours to be there. Cool town and very nice people.
Any idea why O´Reilly does that? Maybe next invasion: Netherlands? ;o)

He does that to everybody.
He even attacks Freerepublic regularly. I wouldn’t worry about him if I were you. He's an idiot.

Your comment is so senseless that i cant stop laughing.
If you dislike the opinions i stand for in my post, just ignore them or accept the fact that there are people with different ones. THX

Reading you posting history shows that you are not a conservative that signed up here to join in the discussion but instead to just troll, what was your previous name here?

A discussion is somthing 2 or more people with DIFFERENT opinions have and has the sense to communicate DIFFERENT opinions and views.

If 2 or more people with the SAME opinion talk together its merely some kind of monologue.

D- for you

I agree that Amsterdam, and Holland in general, is a very nice place (watch out for those Muslims, though!), or at least it was when I was there in 1990. However, you can't use crime stats to compare the US and Holland. That's apples to oranges. The demographics are so different that you'd have to slog through all of those root causes way before you got to the drug issue. A better comparison would be Holland before legalization and Holland after it, but Dutch demographics have changed too, so who knows.

One thing about the Fox News clips that struck me was the claim that criminals from around Europe have flocked to Amsterdam to control the drug trade. That is counter-intuitive, but if we assume it is true, that only says that people go where the freedom of opportunity is. For example, a whole lot of criminals flock to the US also, not because we encourage criminality, but because this is where the money and the opportunity is. Criminals aren't going to flock to a broken down, third world rathole with no economy. Why do bank robbers rob banks? Because that's where the money is!

I watched the video.

My wife came in the room, heard the soundtrack to the video, and asked, jokingly, if I was watching PORNO.

Went to Amsterdam as a young Marine on a NATO cruise back in the mid 70's. We headed for the Red Light District and had a good time.

Wouldn't want to live in ANY Euro country, but enjoyed seeing many parts of Europe then, as a single guy.

I asked you if you are a conservative, are you uncomfortable answering?
