But, the fact of the matter remains that your posts over the last few

years
strongly indicate that you are a very unhappy, hateful person.


No, the fact of the matter remains that you can't read.

You can fool some of the people all of the time and you can fool all of the
people some of the time, but, you can't fool all of the people all of the
time. Your problem is that you've fooled yourself most of the time. KM

And just as much a malcontent?


No, very happy as I said. Learn to read.

Learning to read lies and then swallow them is no virtue. What you call
happy, others might call hysteria. KM

"Rich" is making a thousand times what you
make.

For you perhaps. For me, "rich" is being healthy, have friends, and have
enough food, shelter, and transportation, and a hot shower every day. I

was
as "rich" when I lived on EUR 200 / month as a student as I am today.


Oh, do try to keep up. Everybody knows that you experience the most
bliss when you're an indigent infant, living off your mother's teat.
That wasn't the issue. You were talking about your relationship with
others who make a fraction (20%) of what you make. My comment was that
20% is hardly a significant difference compared to the statistical
differences between the real rich and poor. By definition, there are
not "many" wealthy people. Being a simple millionaire no longer makes
you wealthy.

Your comments:
"The Netherlands has many millionaires that can do everything that you
consider to be important.

But for your information, there are many people here in the
Netherlands who worked hard to become millionaires.

I can't speak for "my kind" but I have many friends who have more
money than me.

Ideally, a large percentage of the money earned above say EUR 100,000
should indeed be taxed away.

Just yesterday I was visiting a friend whose monthly income is perhaps
20% of mine, and he has been a friend for 6 years or so."

Turby the Turbosurfer

"No man is wholly free. He is a slave to wealth, or to fortune, or the laws,
or the people [who] restrain him from acting according to his will alone."

Sjoerd, if you keep posting the anti-America bilge, I'll continue to

decline
to take you seriously. If you can't distinguish "lying" from sarcasm, its

not
my fault.


Sorry, aloha, but you don't have the intellectual capacity for sarcasm.

Sjoerd


Sarcasm is an art, lying is a sin; you don't know the difference. If someone
says something disparaging about the Netherlands you wet yourself in
defensive hysteria. Yet, you demand the right to bash America and Americans
willy-nilly and expect to remain silent while you have your tantrum. Why is
it that you have a different set of standards for yourself and your ilk and
and an entirely different set for those who don't agree with your verbal
travesties? KM

I do. But apparently you don't, because you are lying all the time and are
now calling it sarcasm.

Not at all. As I said before, the Netherlands is not paradise and many
things can be improved here.

Yet, you demand the right to bash America and Americans


I have never bashed America and/or Americans. You are a little bit
sensitive, aloha, for justified criticism of some aspects of America's
policies. You have been brainwashed to believe that everything is always
better in the USA. Unfortunately for you, most people in and out of the USA
know that this is not the case.

is
it that you have a different set of standards for yourself and your ilk

and

travesties?


Why don't you answer my questions? (those that deal with the topics we
discuss, such as my question about examples of freedoms that Americans have
that Dutch don't have)
And why do you ignore factual proof that I have provided?

Only you and your ilk (the neo conservatives) believe the crap that you
write.

So lying is a sin. What does that mean to you? Are you worried about
whether you go to heaven or hell?

Yup, typical Leftwing Liberal ploy, when you can't counter the message, by
all means attack the messenger. KM

I've never stated or even hinted that EVERYTHING is better in America, nor
did I ever use the word ALWAYS. Writing in superlatives, hyperbole and
hysteria is your forte, so I suppose you assume everyone else thinks in
extremes. Just, think, you wouldn't have to be defending yourself all over
the place and appearing to be an angry horse's rump if you'd stop bashing
America. Travel newsgroups are hardly the place to air your grievances about
America's political policies. KM

Hmmm, another limp-wristed wimp talking tough behind the safety of a keyboard
who of course, isn't taking his own advice, but, ordering others to do it.
