Yeah I wiki'd it and the UK travel guides say "Holland" and "Hollander" are insulting to you people. You guys sell pot all over and have hooker districts. Seems pretty "open" to me.
Lost S6 sucked but it was still worth my investment. The "characters" crap was just their excuse for bad plotting, but it was still great overall. It was so fun those first few seasons with all the mysteries and community interaction, even if the payoffs were mostly lame. The journey was good
Maybe it's an insult to people from the other regions when you say Holland. I'm from the Holland part so maybe that is why I don't care or maybe it's just travel guide bullshit.
But yeah, pot is legal, so is prostitution and this was the first country where gay marriage was made legal (At least I think it was), so that's one side of it. But at the same time, a really right party named the PVV (Party For Freedom) is getting a shitton of votes, there is still a lot of racism and a lot of people 'accept' the whole gay thing, but only as long as they don't see it.
The thing is, there are a lot of people here, The Netherlands is one if the most crowded countries in the world per square mile. A lot of those people are foreigners, some from former Dutch colonies, a lot from Turkey, Marocco and for the last couple of years a lot of Polish people.
So it's really crowded with lots of different believes and cultures, and with everything that has been going on in the world, wars in the Middle East, Financial crisis, the current State of the European Union and all that good stuff, all those groups have different views on it and they clash, so they turn to the extremes in politics.
What I'm trying to say, in a really inconclusive bunch of sentences, is that Neverland may be more 'open' than other countries, it's nowhere near as 'open' as they claim to be.
