Today Mark Rutte takes over NATO after Jens Stoltenberg, my fave PM and all around good-guy. I wish the Dutch cunt some luck, but not the best of luck. I hate the Dutch. And Phlegms.

Also hates people who are intolerant of other cultures.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

A bad trip in Amsterdam.  :ph34r:
Bad trip in Amsterdam, bad trip to the UK... maybe the problem lies elsewhere? :hmm:
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Yes. It does.
It lies with the tripper.

To be fair, the Dutch are subhuman scum with skulls that clearly highlight their descent more from beasts than man.
And orange?
What sort of sicko likes orange?

That was definitely a take away I had from my time in Europe.

Are Texans fake with their pretended friendliness all the time? Yes. Yes we are. We will pretend to like you even if we hate you. But do you know what? I am ok with that. Having to deal with people's honesty all the time is annoying.

I think that if everyone were like Dutch, people would get used to it, but the benefit of more honest communication would remain.

Yeah Brits are dishonest/hide what they really feel. But I think that's worth it and is just politeness :lol:

I have a friend who did his PhD in the Netherlands and the "directness" almost destroyed him mentally. He had some horror stories and to British ears some just seem incredibly rude - and in some cases just an excuse to be racist.

Care to share one? Just curious what a Brit would consider beyond the pale.

Honestly (....) I've never had much bother with the famous Dutch bluntness.
But then I think I do sway that way a bit myself.

The problem I find with the American way is that its just all surface. The real feelings aren't hidden in there.
With Brits or Japanese for instance it'll be reasonably clear we are politely telling you to fuck off.
