Europeans fleeing their homelands.

Welcome to the future.

Or the past :-)

There was a study in the Norwegian media before christmas about how several hundred Dutch had relocated to the Western Fjordlands of Norway in order to get away from their multicultural paradise.

I'm from the Netherlands and I'm leaving too. Within 2 years I hope, preferably to USA but I wouldn't rule out Australia, I got relatives there so that might work :-)

"More people left Holland in 2003 than arrived."

Why would anyone move to Holland?

Most western Europeans and Americans with half a brain have finally realized that this liberal obsession with multi-culturalism in nothing but a hugh lie. Handing your country over to people that hate you and want to kill you and refusing to do nothing about it is a mental disorder. There is something about the western European mind that causes it to think this way. It is called "GUILT". It's time to get over it before we lose everything(including our lives).

Is this a story about the Dutch fleeing one socialist Paradise for another or is it another idiot touting socialized medicine?

The article doesn't make the immigrants sound like rugged individualists. It makes the immigrants sound like wards of the state, who need to know they'll be taken care of before they'll move.

I'm glad the Pilgrims to North America, and other immigrants here, we not so timid and wimpy. Otherwise this country would still be a wilderness.

Thanks. Brother-in-law did this a few years back. Obviously, this is not a good trend for Holland/Europe. Classic case of Brain Drain. The wealth creator leaving and the welfare participant arriving.

This is the ultimate indictment of wealthy white liberals in search of their hedonist utopia. They trash a whole continent with their progressive rule, when things get ugly after their despoiliation, no problem, they skip to the next resource rich island.

That's what I was thinking. Is anyone strong enough to stand and fight?

I think it is also a case of people feeling they have lost control of their country, their future and their destiny to a mindless liberal socialism that no longer listens to the people. It is only going to get worse as the EU bureaucracy grows in power. Those that can are starting to leave. I live in the middle of a huge British ex-pat community who left simply because they refused to give up the right to own guns or fox hunt.

My family left Holland for the US back in 1648, guess we just got a little bit of a head start. If I ever were to go somewhere else it would be Australia.

I guess we shouldn't be too hard on immigrants to Australia. They have the guts to make a big, bold change in their lives. It's just this reporter who seems obsessed with state-provided health care benefits.

Well, of course, because social services are "free."

And, for the final Mohammedan conquest of Europe.

I guess they got their lessons from France and bugged out vice fighting for their nation. So much for Europe.

In a related story, Europe has changed it name to Eurabia today....

The EU is a pretty frightening place. A 3,000+ page constitution regulating life to be enforced by lifelong bureaucrats just boggles the mind. The sheep are just being calmly herded into the EU pen. And there is no way for the signatures to secede from the union. Oh well, the EU does not learn from its own history. Too bad! They have a few successful models to copy from instead they devise a monstrosity. They devised a monstrosity that has very little potential to evolve into anything except into a larger monstrosity. The only hope is that, to the best of my knowledge, the constitution has not be ratified yet.

It would be hard to argue with that.
