Personally I'd like to hear more about the upcoming Dutch elections.

You guys have elections, right

[Sukadrukanga]

Bergkamp for Prime Minister

Well...the Dutch idea of solving the American subprime mortgage crisis by secretly giving Ambassador Roland Arnall (Ameriquest Mortgage Founder) cancer didn't seem to work.

At least they are trying to be positively involved in American Politics.

There's only two things I hate. Those intollerant of other peoples cultures, and the Dutch.

You guys really don't follow Dutch politics, don't you. Because no one here posts many threads about Dutch politics. You have the power to create tons of threads about your elections too, but you don't.

Psst to Slowwy: The Netherlands is not Chicago. They don't know how we do things around here.

[viagsjicguara]

If dead people can vote, why can't they run for office? That dead guy from Missouri won a couple years ago, right?

Hueij, you're a 1999er. Surely you remember the days when the OT active threads came fast and furious, with legitimate active threads running multiple pages.

We've already eliminated history, sports, and technology threads. Surely you can sort through the relative dribble of our current level of OT thread production. Or -- here's a thought -- don't open threads about American politics.
