I gotta say you dont know much about each others countries. It cant be true that you have to pay for education, that you dont get money to live from if you cant find work or are too sick, and if you are sick, the state doesnt pay the treatment. What kinda 16th century society would do that? It is an oxymoron, when your parents need money to give you a fair chance in life. It isnt fair, but i guess evrybody that doesnt make it are just lazy losers that didnt try hard enough.

In this thread you have to describe the weirdest thing thats ever happened to you. I dont mean things like having sex on the roof of a driving car or waking up in a strange place, but things you have no explanation for and need to share with your mapcore friends.
My weirdest event that i can remember, was about a year ago. I was laying on the bed trying to sleep when suddenly i heard a jet engine go off in my room and i felt like my mind was being sucked into it. It went on for about a minute as i tried to open my eyes or move. The mysterious noise stopped when i opened my eyes!

I thought very carefully about the word tradition and there isnt a word in the dictionary that can describe it better. Being responsible for guests in your country is a tradition older than the secret son of jesus and mary magdalena, even in afghanistan. Remember when the taliban refused to hand out Osama after 911, it was because of an old tradition to take care of guests you are responsible for (they said, but ofcourse it was just because they were terrorists).

A mind at peace will cure the sick body, a wise chinese old man once spoke. Try some meditating, or as steppenwolf would say, weed

It looks sweetabulor. I would try putting the fog along the sides of the roads, in the actual backgrounds, it looks much more atmopsheric than putting it in the center of open areas and roads

Look at the context of my messages, anything that deals with you is in the proper context.
I wasn't talking about the treatment of immigrants in Holland or France individually, I was talking about the treatment of immigrants in general. Again, the difference between France and Holland in this situation is that the immigrants in France are fighting back now, that doesn't make the situation in Holland any worse or any better. The treatment of immigrants to a country is extremely universal, what applies to one country likely applies to another country, especially one that neighbours it.
No, the situation of immigrants in France and Holland isnt the same.
Holland is known around the world for being the capital of tolerance (even tho it might not be true, we are known for it :wink: ). We are the capital of gays, prostitution, softdrugs and professional blasphemy , can say whatever just because we have the freedom to do so and its worked fine up untill now.
Islam doesnt tolerate these things. They have no use for our tolerance of alternative lifestyles. What do you think they preach about gays, drugs, prostitution and blasphemy in their mosques? What do you think their thoughts on these things are? Basically they (and this is the youth that grew up here) disgust our values. This is what the problem is about in Holland. The countries where there are no serious problems with this culture, that think its all our fault, are countries where nobody speaks up in public about Muhammed or makes movies about a woman beaten by her islamic husband.
We just dont allow these groups to be intolerant, they feel its racist or anti islam. If thered be riots here, it would be dutch people rioting against intolerance. Having your most famous dutch guy beheaded (because of a movie about Islam) and your future gay prime minister assassinated is a shock of truth that not everybody in Holland can handle our tolerance. Sure, 99,99% isnt violent, but its their values which allows extremism to grow between them, its our tolerance which allows them to publicly call for someones death, and its a tiny group that follows it up with action. It might seem like racism to do something about it, but its actually not.
From my experience, all the countries nearby are just about as tolerant, including France. I guess we euros have a diffrent picture of the problem in France because weve all had similar experiences. Its like a tradition to always blame yourself when integration fails. I think just about every country around here blaimed itself for the failed integration of muslims. France now is being blamed for being racist and islamophobic, while my experience is that a big part of the problem is coming from their religion and how to raise their kids in a confusing non islamic country. Islam can never be used as basis for being tolerant to prostitution, gays, softdrugs, blaphemy and a dozen other things. Letting these groups grow like rabbits in strictly islamic gettos, schools and shops is asking for problems. The only ppl that adapt are ppl that dont take religion so seriously (which is basically all immigrants that grew up in an islamic country and not in the confusing tolerance of europe), ppl that are willing to close an eye, and they arent considered real muslims that become scholars in mosques.

Peris how is Brussels holding up with the rising riots nearby?
