I think France wins.. Mostly because of their long secular tradition and their satire and such. In the Netherlands the 'freedom of religion' has too often been invoked to condone or justify that which cannot be condoned or justified.

>I really want to visit Netherlands again. Is Harlem good?

Haarlem is pretty. It has a similar building style to Amsterdam, but less mass-tourism.. Also a LOT less of all the tacky shit Amsterdam is littered with (10.000.000 tourist shops that all sell the same crappy keychains, weed shirts and parafernalia, sex shops, 'coffee(weed)shops' etc.). Haarlem does have all those facilities, but in a more normal density, and aimed at locals more than tourists..

But really, the Netherlands is small enough that you could visit a bunch of interesting towns in just a week.. Haarlem -> Delft is only about an hour by train (less even), and Delft is also a very historical city. Same with Gouda, Leiden and to a lesser degree Den Haag.. All about 1 hour or less apart by train.

>>mfw i was told that rotterdam is the most dangerous city and it just look safe as fuck

Amsterdam is usually statistically the most dangerous or one of the most dangerous cities in the Netherlands, while it simultaneously often ranks among the top of the list for 'Safest EU capitals'.. The Netherlands is a pretty safe country, really.

I believe most of that is about one (1) town.. Though the numbers were pretty scandelous.. 700 refugees in a tiny village with total population +-150.. Original plan was about 1400, but that was reduced.

The really striking thing about the entire story is that the people in Oranje (the little village) did everything correct, and civil.. They wrote letters, involved media, demanded a say in the municipal council, staged non-violent protests etc... And all they got was 700 asylum seekers instead of the original 1500.

In other towns, the population just went apeshit, rioted, threw bricks and fireworks at police and at the municipal hall.. And they get 0 (none) asylum seekers now. Imo, that sends the message that as long as you're savage and violent, you get your way... Not the right message if you ask me.


Illustration:
These people did not get asylum seekers in their region:

It's not just Africa anymore m8.. South America apparantly also likes our onions. The Dutch onion is slowly taking over the world. The economy of scale is real. Can't really blame Dutch farmers though, imo, even if it leads to sad situations.

https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2005/11-march/features/flooding-the-market-in-senegal-with-cheap-imports-%E2%80%94-and-fear

>Mr Barro’s onions are being undercut by cheap Dutch onions, which last for longer, and are sold by companies with storage facilities. Mr Barro has to keep his onions under a tree. If it rains, he loses his harvest and therefore his income.

Yes, that's very sad for mr. Barro. But realise that many, MANY Dutch onion farmers went out of business before the remaining ones got large/smart enough to dominate global markets like this.. In the end they're all just trying to feed their families. Dutch onion farmers would all be bankrupt if they could not export on the scale that they do.

Onions literally keep for months, and that's when they're ready-to-eat in my kitchen cupboard. If you store them in a controlled environement (dark, cool) they stay fresh for 10 months or longer.. That's why they're such a great export product.

Literally this fellow Serbbro, I hope that I don't offend anyone but Flemish sounds easier on the ears. There are probably dialects within Netherlands itself that sound less 'guttoral'.

Also how would you feel if a Serb moved to your country? I had Netherlands in mind for quite some time, because you seem less cucked, emphasis on 'seem', I may be wrong.

Generalizations don't hold true for most Americans. We're a diverse population, and that's why being polite is important. We can't assume anything about our fellow countrymen's experiences or perspective, so we have to be diplomatic.

Kek, no. I'd say you're less individualist than Dutch folks, generally I'd say.. When you're not claiming USA, you're claiming your state, when you're not representing your state it's your town or your football team, when it isn't that it's your (former) high school or even your ethnic group or that of your great-great-grandparents. My perception is actually that Americans are rather group-oriented...

Only because the Catholic church pretends that anyone with a Catholic name or Catholic parents are actually Catholic. My parents stopped going to Church decades ago, I wasn't even baptised, but the Catholic church considers me a member regardless of that, judging by the letters they send me (adressing me as a member) asking for money for they programs.

Serious answer: Guest laborers brought in by liberal right politicians.. Intended to be temporarily, like the Spanish and Greek workers that also came but mostly came back. But when the labour party rose to power the 'temporary' thing went away, and they gave the non-intergrated workers that were never meant to stay the right to stay and to even reunite their families. Things went rapidly downhill from there.

When the Netherlands became a unitary state rather than a federation, the capital and the seat of government were seperated because North (which contains Amsterdam) and South (Den Haag) Holland were both afraid one would gain too much power over the other...

Also on a side note, the capital of North Holland is not Amsterdam, but Haarlem. Amsterdam is just the nation's capital, but doesn't actually fulfill any function related to that. Only symbolic.

I mean, here professional courses are seen as low tier most of the time with mediocre job expections while there it's a viable option.
On the other hand you also have to spend far more money to have a comparable quality of life to us. Your taxes are higher, you have to make use of more services (like life insurance) as state covers nothing, the prices are brutal (some things cost 3 times more) and your real estate is for rich people only

Minimum wage is almost 3 times higher as well.. In Portugal €589,-/month, google tells me.. In the Netherlands it's €1524,60/month for fulltime job.

>and your real estate is for rich people only
Housing is expensive here. At current rent rates, getting a mortgage is just as possible for people with steady jobs as renting a house. Rents tend to be €500-€600,- a month..Any montly rent BELOW €710.68 is considered 'social housing', making people that pay that or less eligable for premiums and stuff if their income is low. Getting a mortgage would leave you with similar monthly payments, provided the bank trusts the steadyness of your job.

I know many people that buy houses in their 20s, and I'd consider none to be very rich. Just normal.

Zaandam.. Amsterdam area. Drug criminals have a habit of doing this to each other on the streets. Especially these past 2 years or so. But despite that, the overall murder rate is lower than ever at like 0.7/100k

People from wealthy nations to go poor ones to retire because their money will be worth more there. The opposite is nonsensical to expect given people from poorer countries will be at an increased disadvantage if they were to retire in a more wealthy country.

Your statement is logically flawed if you try to apply it to the matter at hand

>>53227526
>Addendum here, the 710 euros he's talking about is eligible for subsidies

Only if the household makes less than €34000,- a year before taxes. 2 people making minimumwage almost go over that... I live together with my gf, a starting highschool teacher, and I'm a student that makes maybe a few thousand a year. We're not eligible for anything, and pay almost €700,- rent... The only people that can apply for those subsidies are my jobless neighbors on welfare.

Most quality of life ranking are just shit-rankings, for example, this shit-ranking of an english newspaper:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/property/international/10710665/Worlds-top-20-places-for-the-good-life.html

In this ranking Andalusia is the best place to live in the world. Well, i live there abd i can ensure you that is not the best place to live even in Spain for most of Spaniards.

But is better to let this snowniggers think that they are the paradise and we are Mordor, less drunken snowniggers disturbing us here.
>>
>>53227410
We're speaking from very diferent points of view, just to start I do agree with you, but I think you're not seeing where I'm trying to go.
first off, I'd rather speak of average wage (but it's about the same diference), entry level jobs are not designed to base your life on.
Renting is for the lower classes, as they may have to move as the job demand changes, It's the same everywhere. your rents are indeed competitive, I must give you that.
But here when you settle down (i.e you have a good, stable job), you buy a house for you, and any descendent you may have in the future. This is where my critisism comes from, you can't properly do that there, the sheer investment you have to make to have a house of your own makes it harder for people to go from mid-low to mid or mid-high class.
You have access to far better life, but you can't "save" your progress asside from storing money in the bank.

Still not a lot.. If you're even slightly above minimumwage, and/or your boss gives you a 13th months, you're over it.

>>53227694
>but he cared to hide an specific number or something.

Yeah, Dutch police are required to ID themselves by number, rather than name. So that you can't look them up in the phonebook and throw bricks through their window, but CAN make formal complaints against them personally.

>And I can't recall what city was it. I think it was Amsterdam, yes

Quite likely. There aren´t a lot of other places where cops get in shootings regularly.. And if they do, the criminals mostly come from Amsterdam. Rotterdam or the Hague get their share as well, but not like Amsterdam.

Both my parents own houses, despite being divorced, dispite my father being disabled and unemployed (only the last few years till his pension, but still), dispite my mother just being a secretary at a university.. If you have a steady job and no debts, you CAN apply for a mortgage, and you CAN become a homeowner.. Perhaps not as easily as in Southern Europe, but it's still an obtainable goal for anyone that makes a serious effort.

>You have access to far better life, but you can't "save" your progress asside from storing money in the bank.

Most people store their money in their house, by way of mortgage, and then leave that (or the money they make from selling it'to their kids.

Which is €1524,- a month before taxes. Say you make 10% more than minimumwage, and get a 13th month (not that uncommon).. Just a few hours of overtime in that year will push you over the limit.

Also, there are MUCH more people in the Netherlands that make 'modaal' (duh), which is €2400,- a month.

>>53228033
just hope no economical meltdown happens then, what you said used to be comonplace here as well.
But since 2008 things changed as people went bankrupt as they could no longer keep up with mortages (and euribor was going down, still is I think). So banks took their homes (and thus their investment) to pay for the loans.
Your prices are forbiding from a responsability standpoint. A own home is a huge investment, the kind of investment that should not go wrong. But in the current situation the market is unstable and if you account for mantainance, interest rates and potential hazards the actual gain is negative.
giving you a rather extreme case (the values are round to make math easy):
my mother built her house in a terrain she was gifted in the marriage and the whole thing (including the land value) would be around 60k € (which would be around 90k nowadays, maybe a bit more)
now, she didn't have that kind of money, so she did take a loan of about 40k (about 10k in interest accounting the inflation), the mortage was around 10% of the house income.
nowadays the house is valued around 200k € and the loan is to be finished in less than 5 years (total: about 20 years). My parents are divorced as well, and my mother carried the weight all alone.
the return we have is enormous, not only that but having your house means you can then invest in other small things like solar production (it used to pay itself within 10 years) or even more real estate for rental purposes (that takes alot more time to repay itself though). You can't have this kind of long-term investment accessible for mid income people, my mother will be able to make use of all the investments for the rest of her life (which should be some 30 years at least), which means she'll be self-suficient even when she no longer is able to work.
This used to be comon for middle class people until very recently. Now things are grim for those who took a bite too big for their mouth (or just lost their jobs).

I don't know, red ranges from 100.000 to 499.999.

Hmm okay about 850.000 from decent European countries. Still pretty good.

At any rate it is true though this is a workers nations, you live here mostly to make good money it came from the Protestants and the climate motives this also. I mean what are you going to do? Enjoy the shitty weather? Enjoy the flat landscape? Nah you'll just work. It's why Germany and the Netherlands is in part so wealthy.

Not a bad thing though, because making good money means you can enjoy life even more in the good times.

Yeah, but no sun. How hard is it to understand that people buy holidayhouses in Spain because it´s close, easy and inexpensive? Turkey is not close and not easy. Sure it's cheap, but if cheap was the MAIN consideration people wouldn't buy holiday houses to begin with...

>Keep there then, going to a worse country only because it is cheaper and have sun has no sense.

Except when you have your bank accounts, insurance, pensions, family, social security, family and pretty much everything besides your holiday retreat back in Western Europe...

Mortgages are always a risk, but the housing bubble in the Netherlands doesn't seem to be as big as in other European countries, especially in the Randstad area. You have to realise the population density in this country is retardedly high... Houses are extremely expensive because land is expensive, and land is expensive because supply and demand. Since 2008 we've seen numerous housing and mortgage bubbles pop, and we've seen property prices going down, in the Netherlands as well.. But they haven't nearly dropped as much as elsewhere, and the prices are currently rising again while requirements for getting a mortgage etc have become much stricter. It's very difficult to go bankrupt on your house in this country, provided you don't go full retard like people did in the 90s by borrowing 150% of the value of the property you intend to buy. Losing your job is bad too, but that's why couples are generally advised not to calculate their max mortgage on both incomes, but on just one.. So that if one loses their job, the other can still cover it.

Seriously, why can the Flemish mind not comprehend that the Hollandse Calvinisten meme is bullshit. Flemish folka always go on and on about Flanders' Catholic background, while a majority of Dutch people do so too. People of protestant ancestry are a minority. We also have a much larger internal diversity dialect-wise than you guys. You say our accent is disgusting while in the South of the Netherlands they basically speak the same as you guys, we both have a Limburg, Low Saxon is mostly a different language, Frisian certainly is. Holland only exists in the West of the Netherlands, in two provinces. It's like when Dutch people wouldn't stop talking shit on West-Vlaanderen all the time while equating it with all of Belgium. You guys aren't any more special than any of the Dutch regional cultures and you should stop dividing our already small nation into two even smaller ones you bunch of fuckwit morons.
