Had to react to your last comment here, no further comments in the original chain possible ... anyways: I know, Europeans robbing the entire world empty and all of that shit; Doesnt make me proud being a Dutchman. Well, I feel more a world citizen anyway. You probable know the Dutch were the last to stop slave trading? Pfffff Dutch and Trading are synonym, they traded everything. I think we look a bit better to the world today, but we came from far.
Ah correct; The Dutch landed as the first nation from Europe. They claimed it as their own land. Invented apartheid. Then they gave it to the Brits. Wonderful people the Dutch pfffff

They (Europe) were all pretty much imperialistic mother fuckers back then. Some of them are still not totally out of the woods on that.
