So the Dutch are fleeing to Australia & New Zealand. I'm not quite sure how that's going to help them in the long run. Any liberal socialist country with generous welfare is in danger of harboring a nasty wahhabi population.

OT: Love your screen-name BTW. Avenge King Harold!

A shrill provocateur, Mr van Gogh was not to everybody's taste. He once filmed kittens being mangled to death in a washing machine, which he thought was hilarious.

That puts a different light on his assassination. I hope it hurt a lot.

There's nothing wrong with Holland that 2.6 million Afrikaner immigrants couldn't fix.

SO the Gutch are running. They Best return to their country and trow out the Socialists, Physically if Necessary, and take back their country.

"This was our 9/11. It was the moment the Netherlands lost its naivety."

It didn't take long for America to regain its naivety.

"People can come and live here illegally and get payments. How is that possible?"

Just ask George Bush.

The Netherlands is in a death spiral. The good folks are leaving. The bad folks are arriving. Good luck.

"There's a feeling of injustice that if you do things right, if you work hard and pay your taxes, you're punished, and those who don't are rewarded. People can come and live here illegally and get payments. How is that possible?

The scales fall from the eyes. The awakening. The anagnorisis.

Well, at least she's smarter than the average Californian.

Same thing is happening here but the politicans never step foot outside their limo's and gated communities to notice.

...a multicultural experiment long touted as a model for the world, but increasingly a warning of how good intentions can go wrong.

Now that the Dutch have screwed up their own country and are jumping ship like rats at sea, who is to say that these same socialist leaning Netherlanders will not try to screw up the countries they immigrate to?

[RavenATB]

What has the Netherlands suffered that we in the US haven't experienced? They run to Canada and other countries that are already half way to the state of crisis the Netherlands is in...how much sense does that make? It's not the country, you Dutch...it's the people you're letting into the country.

[PLK]

They see things going on every day in this country that are quite unbelievable. They see no clear message from the government, and they are afraid it's becoming irreversible, that's why they are leaving

Well, too bad. Who voted to keep "the government" in power that allowed this cesspool to develop? Moose Limbs have NEVER been known to assimilate into cultures other than the Moose Limb culture. This could have been, and probably was, easily predicted. The problem where the Dutch are concerned is that they just didn't have enough square footage to allow them to ignore the problems for as long as some other Euro countries have - but who are next.

"There's a feeling of injustice that if you do things right, if you work hard and pay your taxes, you're punished, and those who don't are rewarded. People can come and live here illegally and get payments. How is that possible?

Great description of socialism.

"It's not why we are leaving: the reason is that Australia feels different, it feels like a place where we would like to grow old," she said.

It's different because Australia is only in the early stages of becoming a flaming socialist cesspool like Holland is. Give it time. The more it's infected by the fleeing rats from Holland, carrying the seeds of the political equivalent of the bubonic plague, the faster its fate will become the same.

It's just like the Americans who flee from the inner city to the suburbs, only to take their problems with them & spread the blight - kids who take the inner city culture with them and corrupt the suburb kids even more, parents who immediately begin to demand the same level of "services" they "enjoyed" in the city, only to raise taxes, increase government dependency & laziness, reduce the quality of life, and bring down everyone around them. Human viruses all.

[meadsjn]

The new wave of educated migrants are quietly voting with their feet against a multicultural experiment long touted as a model for the world, but increasingly a warning of how good intentions can go wrong.

And like Californians fleeing their own self-destruction, they will vote to turn the new place into the same kind of multi-cultural cesspool.

[Mini-14]

A shrill provocateur, Mr van Gogh was not to everybody's taste. He once filmed kittens being mangled to death in a washing machine, which he thought was hilarious.

But his ritual execution (which some people though was was hilarious), apparently by an Islamist hit squad, has shocked the country.

It looks like he got a taste of his own medicine.

[kittymyrib]

This is what happens to a country when it forgets God.

"There's a feeling of injustice that if you do things right, if you work hard and pay your taxes, you're punished, and those who don't are rewarded. People can come and live here illegally and get payments. How is that possible?

Same song, different continent.

[A. Pole]

"It's not why we are leaving: the reason is that Australia feels different, it feels like a place where we would like to grow old,"

Where you are ALLOWED to grow old.

"it's escalating because the police and the state aren't doing anything about it."

nails + chalkboard ><

[Antoninus]

Rats leaving the sinking ship. How noble of them. Now they can spread their plague of "tolerance at all costs" to other formerly great countries.
