Greetings, Just wondering how many El Dorado pics we can get in here. Mine is taken at Scheveningen. I was there yesterday and saw this beach club.

Congrats Spain!!!!! Was the Dutch team that foul? In my honest opinion (remember I am Dutch, so I am biased) I saw some Dutch getting a yellow card and some Spanish not for similar fouls. De Jong was lucky to receive a yellow card. As for Van Bommel, I think he played very well. He is the kind...

Holland has shown some pretty good attacks. But have also had some periods that they did not play well. If Holland had had an easy (it is the world cup, so easy is relative) schedule, Brasil would not have part of it. I think the Dutch team deserves a big cheer for being able to make a huge...

Van Persie was on side acording to the Dutch television. I think it was a very close call. And the assistant ref should only raise his flag if he is sure it is off side. When in doubt the flag should stay down. Yes, I am Dutch. And yes Holland is not playing as good (beautiful) as I hoped...

Still Life is one of my favorite songs. If it is underrated or not I do not care. I know the songs I like most. That is what counts for me.

Re: Obama reaches out to Iran The reason might be that politicians like any other humans can make things look like something else. In this case perhaps the ships are being cautious for the economic reasons (if a ship is not allowed to leave it does cost a lot of money daily). But our Minister...

It is not even close to April 1st.

Do the mods have the ability to lock a topic?  :innocent:

let me recap most of the above. members: what if..... moderators: we would have done the same.... members: what if........ moderators: we.....

Wilders is scaring the hell out of me. I like to think of the Dutch being open minded. But more and more people are following the idiotic (at least in my opinion) ideas of this Wilders. He is dividing the country in a us and them way of thinking. I can only dream that he will one day wake up...

???? My hope is not to get any cancer at all. But I agree if it does happen better to notice it soon.

If I had had a bad day this topic would have made it good. Too bad I am already having a good day.

The two main charities that receive a donation from us are World Nature Foundation and an organization that is looking for cures to cancer (not sure I word it right but I hope you catch my drift). Other than those two are done on a less regular schedule.

The early leaders might have roots within the working class. But as a genreal idea (at least that is what I think) the working would stir itself. That point was not yet reached. That is what I think went wrong for communism. If I am incorrect on it I agree with Perun. It sure get wrong when they...

Seldom do I reply to a more serious topic here. One of the reasons is that the quality of many posts is high and I do not want to spoil the standard. Well I found another reason. Thanks Onhell for your nice reaction. It sure makes me feel like contributing again in the future. As example of...

Might I get back at the comunist thing? The reason why it will not work in my opinion is that it takes away the willingness to do something. If all jobs are paid the same wage, there will be many people picking up the trash but no doctors. Why would you put effort in school if you can earn the...

As for the  man. I heard a rumor that he was few days later. But to be honest I cannot say if that is true.

Stewart has a point. I think people from Azerbaijan are more interested in their incident as in the incident in far away country. Both incidents are horrible. But the one that took place in my town hits me harder. The more you can relate yourself to it the more it hits you.

In case people not from The Netherlands have no clue about May 4th and 5th. May 4th we remember the casualties from war (it started after WW II) and the 5th we celebrate freedom (do I hear the Clansman?)

Most likely an assault indeed. I know the place very well, I live in Apeldoorn. Shokking to see and even more shocking to hear that some people still going to town to celibrate. Shame on them.
