The Dutch aren't perfect after all

But she broke the law and should be punished like the illigal immigrant she is!

Don't forget the tulips, and lots of other cool stuf. Also couple of words in english have a dutch origin: school, s(c)hip, spook. There must be other examples not starting with an 's'.

Anyways, ask DH. He always refers to "the dutch are perfect", and who am I to disagree...

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

Somehow I always think about this song when the phraze "the Dutch are perfect" pops up.

Other words of Interest :!:

Pot

Ten points of no use to anyone who guesses the Dutch meaning of these words. Well I believe they have a Dutch origin.
I could be wrong.
Well come to think of it I'm wrong most of the time.

I didn't recognize the link.

The thing with the Hans Brinker storyis, it was written by an American citizen (Mary Mapes Dodge).

Opportunistic money hungry Fookers [/jk]

If you think that's opportunistic money hungry, and if you are really bored one day, then read up on some history here about the Dutch West India Company (and if you really bored: the Dutch East India Company)

Who do you think put the slaves on American soil you might wonder? We, the Dutch, have pretty dark spots in our national heritage, but at that time (17th century) we were pretty much a world super power and I guess at some point that is what all super powers will realize when they review their history.

From what I recall:

Poot = Homosexual

Pot = Lesbian

I've always held fond images of the Dutch: polite, cultured, educated; nice women with good knockers...

You've sullied my mythical beliefs regarding The Netherlands now Mac; thats just as tragic.
