All I know is, I've never been shot at in Beirut. I may have been shot at in Tangiers, but that's technically africa so it doesn't count.

This reminds me of the time I was in some jazz club in Germany and I had a conversation with a guy who said: " aha so you're Dutch, that's awesome ! I been all around Europe and I really love it here ! Especially the Netherlands are really so relaxed, have you ever been there ?"


There's still hope though Xpgeek,

Denmark and the Netherlands do actually look-a-like, geograpically. Rather small and lying low, with somewhat the same language from an outside view. Our flags are very different though.

WHY oh WHY is it "Dutch" and not "Netherlandish" or "Netherlish" AAARRGH. I can't stand it. Too much like "Dutchland", or, 'Deutschland'.

Here's why:

"Most spoke the medieval Dietsch or middle-Dutch: the ancient proto-language out of which later would evolve Dutch, English and German"
