My Dutch friend said Holland is in crisis.

[Telstra]

He said it is going to be similar to Greece.
He is planning to leave the country.

My friend hates green peppers.
He said it has a terrible texture.
So green peppers must be awful.

Discuss.

[Telstra]

umm he live in Holland so he know what he is talking about.

Quote from him:
In Holland we have crisis. It's not a good start here.
Crisis, lot of business are going failliet, people have no job, life is getting so expensive, government need money ... etc. Like in greece.

Its not that bad as greece, but its getting more worse. Its just the beginning of a long hard period, so its better to leave from here.

I hope the Dutch government gets tough and makes the tough decisions to rid themselves of the shadows that plague it.

[HunterM]

OMG! This is going to have a negative impact on their prostitution industry. They're going to have to give discounts and Groupons to drum up business: "Buy 2 Get One Free" or "Matinee/Early Bird Specials".

Is your friend being moved to one of those new banlieu like neighborhoods?

It's all because blackface drag Zwarte Piet is coming tonight...

[rareboy]

^ LOL

Holland will be in a crisis when it runs out of Triple Zout Licorice and herring.

[pat grimshaw]

My city has had banlieu like neighbourhoods on its south-west fringe for fifty years. The government pays for up to three generations of unemployed bludgers to live together in these ghettoes.

[glasvegas]

Well, my Dutch friends are telling me their country is doing pretty well, still better than Italy and Spain.

[star-warrior]

Moon is made of cheese.
Holland is famous for its cheese industry.
You have jobs in the industry, so if there are no more jobs the economy collapses.

Plus, and this is the real clincher, "mon"ey and "moon" have many characters in common.

My 6+ year old prediction is coming true. Bwahahahah!

Well, yes, they are.

[csb999]

well practically I think for maybe the next maybe fifteen or twenty years the world totally should go through a period of drastic economic readjustment to the massive changes brought about by the internet-pc . Just one instance off the top , newspapers . Newspapers will die right and left . Apart from the possibly fatal blow to the paper-newsprint industry , the end , there are hundreds of thousands of employees that will lose their jobs . Apart from the strictly primary industries all will be affected , many will be entirely eliminated .

[AshyPhoenix]

Dear GOD! The end is nigh! Telstra's friend said that Holland is going under! Abandon ship! Leave everything behind! There's no time to collect your belongings! EVACUATE!!!!!

[HoodedRat]

The world is in crisis ... I'm considering leaving.

[HunterM]

^ to Mars?

[HoodedRat]

^ No ... I'd prefer Uranus.

Don't use paracetamol. It's a rather sucky way to die.

oh he isn't an immigrant.
He is a native dutch (white), quite well off, has money to migrant to Australia and probably will.

Well many believe that 2008 was just a small crisis before the big one. A lot of actions have been done to postpone it, but not prevent it. Bandages were put on a flawed corrupt economic system instead of taking the opportunity to build a new one.

Out of all regions in the world the EU seems to have it worst. Greece was just the start we will see many more go down in the near future. I wouldn't be surprised if the EU as a whole will have it pretty bad leading either to it changing drastically or dissolving.

Just like Greece is the beginning in the EU, the EU is the beginning of the big world crisis. It's the biggest economy in the world so obviously there will be a big splash. The US is also barely floating and a EU crash could tip it over.

Before moving your friend should really think about whether the other place is actually any safer.

I once read by someone who lives there so he should know that the entire subcontinent of Australia is going to burn and everyone living there won't be able to escape by wading into the sea because sharks are attracted to flames and hundreds of them per linear mile and 50 feet wide circumventing the entire landmass will be circling three feet offshore so everyone is doomed.

If you think surfers are hot now, just wait.

Flee to New Zealand between earthquakes while there is still time!

Yeah that is basically what he is saying.
He visited Australia afew times so he know what he is doing.

I believe Holland is facing some problems but I don't believe it will be somewhere near the Greek crisis, the issue is this, southern countries had a completely different economy from the central-europe and northern-europe. Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal are very alike, countries that just recently started growing (20 to 30 years ago) before that those countries where very dependent on agriculture and small industry, suddenly we where a bit stronger and thrown to the middle of a well developed and rich Europe, same coin, same interest rates, the agriculture quotes where forced to go down because of the same agriculture politics, the small industry flourished and then died, suffocated by the big companies, the interest rate led to everybody buying cars and houses because suddenly it was so easy! This is called the Dutch disease (coincidentally), if I recall correctly, a fictitious lower interest rate leading to a bigger search for own houses, all this culminated with no money and a lot of debt. I don't see the Dutch case nowhere near this, all the Europe is facing crisis but I really doubt the countries with a much more stronger economical structure to collapse the same way than weaker economies of countries that just "recently" started to be truly on par with the rest of the Europe.

I think Australia is one of the foreign (though also sometimes technically Asia) is having really good economics so far. I have a few cousins studying there and the common jobs like flipping burgles or car wash is paying a lot better than the other countries that could offer.

Where is he going to go? The Netherlands is not doing well but hardly in a crisis. France by comparison is worse and Spain even worse. It's all relative isn't it?

Really hard to grow veg there...200 kph winds and -200c would be tough to garden.
