The Dutch are being infected by American nonsense. It seems that thousands of them are buying into the Mayan 2012 end-of-the-world garbage.
On behalf of all reality-based Americans, I apologize.
According to the Telegraph, thousands of Dutch are stocking up on survival gear due to this antiscientific fantasy. And among the purchases are… boats. Because the Netherlands are sinking.
Um.
Mrs Faile said she was concerned that immigration was pushing the Netherlands, a low lying country protected by dikes and sea walls, beneath the waves.
“They keep letting people in. And then we have to build more houses, which makes the Netherlands even heavier. The country will sink even lower, which will make the flooding worse,” she said.
The disease is loose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thousands of dutch people falling victim to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!111111111oneoneone
Seriously, how did you guys allow this to happen?
-
Impending doom is fun, lots of fun stuff happens, how can doom be a bad thing?! I say more doom please and pass the sugar while you're at it.

This isn't about the European Cup in 2012.
Therefore, I don't care.

*yawn*
Just let them commit ritual suicide and then society won't have to deal with them again.

Might be a little difficult to blame a civilization that's been extinct for 400+ years.
In all seriousness, it's typically Americans that buy into this ****. Namely, they're the ones with enough time on their hands and disposable income to indulge in this kind of brain-dead wankery.

The US isn't alone in North America. There's Canada, Mexico, Panama, etc. The Mayans just happened to live in the Americas. Ergo, they're American.
I really love to see everyone jump at the chance to shout at those stupid uhmerikuns. :p
-
Wow. You're right. After so many years of hearing/talking/praising/joking/belittling/admitting/belittling American stupidity, it's just become second nature to take the piss out of the Yanks. My bad.
-
That explains a lot, really.
-
Oh, shush. ;)
-
It is the end of the world in 2012...the world as you know it :lol: :lol: :lol:
Thats when I take over and truly become my HLP ID
1st task after establishing the new order will be to "hire" HLP some professional modlers so we can get on and make our mods
-
I thought the world was supposed to end in 2000? Y2K...booyah :)
-
There is some rather sketchy scientific evidence that supports the prophecy. It's still a complete load, but there is evidence.

The US isn't alone in North America.
No; really? :rolleyes:
-
i don't know the dutch are pretty crazy for building their entire country below sea level.
shut up and build more ****ing windmills. :D
-
Quick someone invent a windmill that turns into a boat. You'll make a mint. :pimp:
-
Or how about a flyind windmill that lands on a boat?
Rupert Bear Referece for those who remember the story
-
I think some people need to spend less time in the Cafes in Amsterdam....
-
They sell good stuff though ;7
-
:lol: They do indeed :nervous:
MAybe it's the amount of people walking around saying 'Woah.. Heavy...' that is making the Netherlands sink? ;)
-

Yep but American is synonim of "citizen of the US". When we say "American" we think for a person who lives in the US...
-
OH GEEZ! it's another windows doesn't = a pc thing :D
You guys kill me... surely there are more important things to gripe about :p
-
OH GEEZ! it's another windows doesn't = a pc thing :D
Uh... no

Yes. Even when basic common sense and context dictates otherwise.

I said what usually happens, not what should happen.
Oh yeah...

Oh, man, as a geographer, this just made my day, its hilarious! :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Maybe they should inflate some really big balloons underground to alleviate the problem? ;)
-

Uh... no
Fine be like that... :(
What I mean is you guys are always nitpicking at some very stupid generalizations. Sometimes it better to get over it.

As 2012 aproaches, there's no sign of doomsday, and then, OMG, 2013 starts !
Or here a nice doomsday scenario: as 2012 aproaches, people start panicking of the aproaching "doomsday". Riots and etc start. Police are sent to control them. Eventually they start killing each other. The army comes in with their fancy toys and start shooting at the raging police 'massacring' the rioting civies. The fancy toys are destroying the cities. NATO goes all "war on terror" thing and invade the middle-east. Eventually, it's all a mess and everyone start nuking each other until everyone's pwned. And when the Shivans arrive, they find their job already done and nuke all the stars. As a result, the Shivans are now species-supreme in our universe. They build portals to other dimensions and pwn them too. At the very end, the Shivans pwn the whole existence. And it's all thanks to Mayans and a certain SG who posted this scenario here. The end.

Off-course! We're dutch! Never blame yourself for things, blame people who can not possibly defend themselves. And if you find out they can defend themselves, mark them as illegals, put them in detention centres, where nobody sees you breaking the dutch ideals of freedom of speech, freedom of religion and... well, freedom of being anyone you want to be unless you harm others. And let Amnesty get mad at you. Ban them from the country as wel while you are at it.
i don't know the dutch are pretty crazy for building their entire country below sea level.
Well, actually, only half of the country is under the sea level. The west side, to be precise. There is also another thing... You can divide the country in another two halfs: The northern and the southern. If you ever wonder why one would do that: Two words: Ice age...
Yes, we're pretty suicidal. And racist. Especially racist. If someone has a room for me...
The world isn't going to end in 2012. The Dutch just have to pay roud-tax per kilometer by then. (also dependent on your car... Pity that we want to ban those highly-efficiënt and manouvrable Japanese cars out of the country, if the racists (15% of the population) have their say.)
-
What to say... this is all news to me. :p
And Faile isn't even a dutch name... :wtf:
And sheez, I only live nine feet below sea level.. I mean... we could build houses on big poles and.. go fishing? Not the end of the world, it's even not that bad a pastime. :nod:
Hm.. better go stock up on fishing equipment. :D

I don't see why you all hate the American so much. They are infact THE greatest country on the planet. Why? Because if it were not for them, we would all be speaking German by now. The Americans are even giving their lives for the people in iraq who despise them. No matter how much people hate then, they still help us. If they were not here right now, doom would have came a lot earlier.
It won't be the end of the world in 2012. The year 2012 will be the 13th something in the Mayan calander. People are so worked up about this because the Mayan calander makes transissions VERY rarely.
The Americans are so obsessed with 2012 because the civilization who told us that 2012 will be a new day on their calander live in their continent.
By the way, ShadowGorath's post made me laugh so hard! :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you're not American, do those of us who are a favor. Help our image by not helping our image. :p
(And if you are, God help us all...)

Try this attitude:
They are infact THE greatest country on the planet.

were not the best country on the planet, we just have the largest penis. :D
