THE HAGUE
(Excerpt) Read more at asp.washtimes.com ...
Here people indeed do not like Americans very much. I had some 'encounters' with such people. But there are always people who also like the US.
And I see you run into Moroccans. They indeed accout for most of the crimes, together with Antillians. The links I put on the other thread (I pinged you to it) about group-sexual assaults/rapings are also all Moroccans.
Police gave up stopping them a long time ago, and the lefties are glad to help the thughs when police tries to punish them.
Btw, Spa is from Belgium!
My one friend there's husband's co-worker went into a bad neighborhood one night; he got lost and ended up in one of those suburbs where lots of Morrocans live. He was walking down the street when a guy came out of the blue and robbed him and slit his throat! The guy was in the hospital for some time. I thought it so gruesome that a mugger would slit his throat, but it seems to be an Arab behavior. I wondered why the Dutch government let so many of those people in.
The first year we lived there, we had a lovely apt. on Prins Hendrikkade, but the guy sold the building so we found a place on Nassaukade which was on the west part of town. There were more of the Morrocans and Turks around there, and I would see these older men sitting around on benches wearing some kind of beanie hat with long robes. I wondered what those men were.
That first year, I used to walk every day to the Albert Heijn by the Waag to do my grocery shopping. There was a little bar next to it, where an English bulldog would sit outside. My husband and I went in there one day to get a beer, and the bartender, who was an older man, was really mean to us, and spoke in Dutch to a man sitting at the bar about these horrible Americans. I think he thought we were tourists. So I said to my husband in Dutch that we had better leave and the man looked kind of sheepish. There were some people who were not so nice to us, but some of my husband's Dutch co-workers were so friendly, and we still correspond with one couple in particular who lived in Haarlem.
My husband was offered a permenant position there, but he wanted to come back to the US because his parents were getting a little old and he wanted to be close to them. I wanted to stay as I loved walking around Amsterdam and thought it was so beautiful and interesting, and I liked it so much better than Houston, TX where we came from. We went back to Houston, but now we are in Alaska which is a wonderful place to live. I guess at this point it's best we came back to the US in light of the problem with the Islamists, and I would have been afraid of being targeted since we are Americans. But I have good memories and am so grateful for the experience of living there. My only regret is that I wish I had met more people and made more friends, although I did make one good friend there who was also American, so we hung around together a lot. It made me feel good though to see your homepage and how you do like Americans.
Thankyou for pinging me on the post about the gang-rapes; that sounds terrible! By the way, what are Antillians? Again, thanks for responding and pinging me to the other post which I will read now.
That's because they don't have the guts to pick on men. A man will probably hit back.
Not true. a felon can have certain civil liberties suspended but will not have citizenship removed.
Muslim thinking, an oxymoron.
I am sorry to hear about the man getting robbed. It's getting worse here, and the police are slow to act. They rather write speeding tickets!
Those "kind of beanie hat with long robes" (I presume most of those clothes are white) are muslim fundamentalists in their traditional clothing.
A friend of mine who used to live in Amsterdam (near the area where the group-rape took place) told me a lot of young people started to wear those clothes...
Antillians are people coming from a former Dutch colony, the Dutch Antillans. They live in the large cities.
And don't mind the America-haters. They will be begging to come and live in the US when islamists start a jihad.
They do, but only in large groups against one or two of us. Only the stupid ones have big mouths when they are alone, but otherwise they gather in large groups and display that famous islamic tolerance.
Good for your dog! Sounds like a very smart dog!
