Lately, i've been reading much fora about political discussion, the murder on theo van gogh and about free speech/freedom of religion. The 2 i visit are http://gathering.tweakers.net... and http://www.geenstijl.nl. The main difference between both is the kind of people that read it. On G(athering) o(f) T(weakers) people are pretty friendly towards each other, and the arguements are well organised, however, on geenstijl things are a bit different. I think i can say that geenstijl is one of the most popular blogs in the netherlands, and that loads of people read it. However, the way the disscussion is going on there gives me the creeps. It's a flame war, a lot of people (mostly the left winged) say: the one who votes on such a party is a complete jackass and a dunce. In other words, they think that if you vote for the enemy, your a fool and a complete moron.

This is disturbing because this is one of the most popular blogs, with thousends of users on it, and if this is what the people in the netherlands say, then the netherlands gets more like the U.S.A. where people vote on the person who is becoming president instead for the plans that he/she has. I noticed that there are only a few (and i really mean a few, 1 million at max!!) who really know who they vote for in an election. When i talk to people at school about this subject they replie: the Lijst Pim Fortuyn is made of fools, and everyone who votes for it is a racist. This could be acceptable IF this was based on arguements, but people just hear from others that the lpf has racist plans (which they don't really) and they immediately believe it.

However, it is the other way around too. There are some racist people in the netherlands (still more then there should be, but 1 racist person is already to much) who vote for such parties because they heard that it's a racist party, which makes a party incredebally popular, for things they don't do.

Also there are a lot of people who vote for parties who were in the purple government (vvd, pvda, d66, groenlinks) just because those parties say that they can solve the problems that are in this country. Silly enough, people fall for this thing, they do not however think of the fact that this government CREATED the problems. They are just cleaning up their own mess and they get credit for it.

I like to here your oppinions about the happenings over here :wink:

From now on, i will have 2 different blogs. 1 with just general stuff (which will be this blog) and when i have something oppinonated i will blog it on a special blog, though the adress will remain unknown for most. The ones who ARE allowed to see my new blog will be sent a message, however, i don't like people to spread that link, because some people aren't able to keep private things to themselves. THe number one reason that i have that blog is that some people will be able to advice me, know how i think, and that sort of stuff.


Don't be afraid though, because the persons who EXPECT to get acces should seek contact with me and people who are unkown for me in real life (jup sunkissed, that means people like you ;))
