    It largely depends on the European nation. Even as a non-native, I don’t tend to lump them all in one judgment, just as Europeans shouldn’t lump all Americans in one judgment. Every American state is different. Reply to this comment with a European country and I’ll share the thing about it that I understand the least.

          You don’t understand drugs? I think it’s understandable to be against drugs, but I thought you’d be able to understand them.

          Mah, drugs makes sense to me. We have a more open policy. You can get your xtc freely tested by the gov so you dont take weird shit, shroom growing kits are legal and so are weak shrooms, truffles. Which can be bought in a certain store.

          And except for weed that is really were it stops though.

            Might be where it stops legally but availability/quality of all drugs in NL is clearly above the neighbours.

                Oh me too, decriminalise everything! Just saying NL definitely has better/more accessible drugs, also the illegal stuff.

        As a Dutch person, a bit off topic, but some truth in television that I found funny:

        The Belgians’ relationship with fries.

        Last summer I was at a former military camp in the German hills, managed by Belgium when it was still operational, and we had a Belgian tour guide who’d served in the camp when it was active. He joked that the Belgian conscripts serving in that camp still got fries thrice a week, or they’d have a riot.

        The lack of a feeling of equal opportunity the secessionists all have for each other. If one group has the right to leave, I’d think all do.

        The thing I understood the least about the Czechlands is why Czechoslovakia didn’t have one identity (for a lack of a better way to put it). Like it always seemed like a compound of two places, as opposed to a singular distinct body.
