Interesting topic for your first post. Considering we both reside in the armpit of our great nation (new Jersey) I guess we do share some similarties, just not on the topic of your post.

Americans, much like you think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. We are not. The rest of the world hates us for reasons. We are an arogant, obnoxious, resource wasters, greedy, nosy, obese nation. But, we are also proud, and that counts for something. Please don't forget that our nation has only been around for a little over 200 years, a very short time in the grand scheme of national affairs. As for your question of where would the world be without the netherlands, I do not know.

Just so you know I am american, not foreign born.

EDIT:

I gave maldrad101(don't know if that's it cause I can't see the original thread from here) some positive points because being that this his first post I think he should be warned before banned. Although I don't agree with the nature of his post, it is his own opinion and I don't believe it is right to neg someone for their opnion, no matter how immature it is conveyed. His post did not harm anyone, so I don't believe we should harm him untill he shows a blatent disregard for the rules and policies. Just my opnion.
