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?

[Falcon]

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.

[BlackDove]

This isn't about the European Cup in 2012.

Therefore, I don't care.

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.

[Mefustae]

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.

[Mars]

That explains a lot, really.

[Mefustae]

Oh, shush.

[terran_emperor]

It is the end of the world in 2012...the world as you know it

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

[IceFire]

I thought the world was supposed to end in 2000?  Y2K...booyah

[BloodEagle]

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? 

[Nuke]

i don't know the dutch are pretty crazy for building their entire country below sea level.

shut up and build more ****ing windmills.

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Quick someone invent a windmill that turns into a boat.  You'll make a mint.   

[terran_emperor]

Or how about a flyind windmill that lands on a boat?

Rupert Bear Referece for those who remember the story

[Flipside]

I think some people need to spend less time in the Cafes in Amsterdam....

[Mars]

They sell good stuff though 

[Flipside]

They do indeed

MAybe it's the amount of people walking around saying 'Woah.. Heavy...' that is making the Netherlands sink?

[Mobius]

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.

Yep but American is synonim of "citizen of the US". When we say "American" we think for a person who lives in the US...
