Sure, blondie
July 30, 2006Crap like this really freaks me out.
The opinions this woman is spouting are actually fairly well-spread in the US– one just has to read/watch Fox News to see how many people actually believe these sorts of nonsense. Those people are the same people who believe my country is literally Hell, the place where Satan reigns. Even republican politicians believe this!
And all that, simply because we Dutch are simply a whole lot more civilised than most other countries. We do not do state-sponsored murder. We are not an apartheid state where some people have less rights than others simply because they are gay. We are not a country were prostitutes have no rights because they have to do their job in secrecy; instead, we legalised it in certain designated areas, so we can control and tax it. We are, however, a country with extremely low drug abuse/drug related crime figures thanks to our good (but not perfect yet) drug policies.
So sure, woman, go ahead, go recreate the middle ages in America. It is really paying off, is it not? Drug related crimes and drug abuse are very low, right? The state-sponsored murder really did bring down crime figures, right? Martin Luther King really did make everybody equal, right?
Don’t make me laugh. You, woman, live in a country where freedom ends as soon as the white part of the country is in danger. You live under an apartheid regime in an extremely violent society.
I don’t think present-day America is what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they ‘made’ the United States. Land of the free, home of the brave. Sure, blondie.
I agree wit you, Ann Coulter is an idiot, but like you said, what is really scary, is that a lot us people agree with her opinions. Ann Coulter is well knownhere in Canada and you either love her or hate her. She is known here for using controversial subjects and ideas…
I got to go as I am watching with horror that Israel has just killed at leaast 54 civilians (including 34 childrens, others are old people and women trying to hide and too poor to leave the city too protect themselves).

It shouldn’t freak you out.
Ann Colter is a known troll who’ll say just about anything to get attention, not to mention plagiarize.
She also drinks a big cup o’ crazy everyday as witnessed by her clips on youtube and crackpot-quotes.
Fox News is right leaning (not fair and balanced) most everyone here knows this, and only old people watch it.
>Martin Luther King really did make everybody equal, right?
He helped get of rid of Jim Crow laws. The KKK is in it’s death throes, there are no public lynchings, or segregation so yes he did what he set out to do.
It’s so easy for you to bash my country, but your little suburb of a country is twice the size the state of New Jersey, while the USA, in contrast is the 3rd largest country in the terms of area and population.
I’m sure if your country was as big and as diverse as ours it would have a lot more problems.
That’s not to say I don’t admire your laws regarding gay marriage, drugs, and prostitution.
Way to go.
We are a nation of !seperate! states twice the size of the EU, some states have prostitution, some have gay marriage(or domestic unions), some have no death penalty.
It’s like expecting every nation of the EU to agree.
>live in a country where freedom ends as soon as the white part of >the country is in danger.
That’s why opium was out lawed, for fear of the Chinese man saying “Where all the white women at?”
It would be funny if it wasn’t true.
>You live under an apartheid regime in an extremely violent society.
It’s not as bad as all that. Gay people don’t have separate water fountains, bathrooms, or workplaces.
I’ve never been mugged or robbed.
The only time I got into a “fight” was in Jr High. Fight being; I held the kid down, and then walked off .
It kind of makes me mad when people start talking about America like everyone is the same.
The country that was founded by freedom lovers was also founded by religious nut jobs like Puritans or the Amish.
Some of us want to change for the better, and they (not me yet) are moving to New Hampshire. One state at a time.

9/11 took away a lot of my freedoms, but it made us (the freedom lovers) dedicated and strong in our fight for change
