09/15 The Disappearance of Natalee

Quote From: stbabylon

I just read about this episode on a Dutch newsite and I must say: Is this real? Are you serious? Did I understand that Dr. Phil wants to boycot an entire island because they can not solve 1 crime in 3 months (while it isn't even sure it is a crime). May I remind you that thousands and thousands of crimes remain unsolved in the US, lot's of them envolving non-US citizens. Does the world need to boycot the US for that aswell? 

  

And the part about The Netherlands being a land full of drugs and hookers really boggled me. Need I remind you that drugs use and drug related crimes are far more commen in the US than in The Netherlands. May I remind you that prostitution is very commen in the US? And that although you might not like it, that it is a thriving business. A business not controlled internally with all the horrible consequenses. Yes it's illigal in the US, but US-citizens still visit hookers. Here it's legal and prostitutes have access to all the help they need. This helps the prostitutes get another life and not just get thrown into jail. Prostitution is rarely a choice, in The Netherlands we help them, you throw them in jail. 

  

I'm sorry if I sound angry, but that's just because I am. Blaming 16.000.000 and 100.000 people for not solving one thing, while the US itself can't solve thousands and thousands of those things makes me angry. And I can call this only one thing: hypocracy! 

well said
