#3 This doesn't understand the Dutch way. The society is far less liberal than libertarian, and tends to some extent to have very reasonable ways of doing business.
For example, they think that if you want to do drugs, it is not really the business of the government to force you not to. *However*, if they catch you selling bad or tainted drugs, that is, not quality product, they will not only hunt you down like a dog, but throw the book at you.
They also have a serious down on anti-social violence, and have no sense of humor about making trouble. They are pretty slow to anger, but you do not want to be on the bad side of a pissed off Dutchman when his fuse is lit. That old Viking blood is in there somewhere. |
