A cesspool of corruption, Anarchy.
Not words your average traveler would associate with Amsterdam. But then again, Bill O'Reilly is quite a character and his show is a lot like a comedy routine, it just depends if you take him seriously or not.
In the rest of the world, evermore countries are discussing the legalizing of softdrugs (alcohol is ofcourse legal everywhere, even though it's harddrugs), because of the positive results that our little experiment in The Netherlands is having. In actual fact; it's working! O'Reilly felt threatened and decided to tackle the issue head on.
Here is a video by some student from Amsterdam who felt offended by O'Reillys comments so he made a video with some random statistics and such.
Here is the original footage of the O'Reilly broadcast. He just randomly makes claims about Amsterdam (it's a city, not a country, c'mon..). He just lies and then concludes (watch him use the word apparently, it's the base of his comment and also a LIE) to get a certain point across. It happens a lot in media, but O'Reilly is the master.
But is there something going on in Amsterdam ? Actually, there is. Especially since it was never legalized in The Netherlands. That's the problem, because this current situation supports organized crime. If it would be (completely)legal, you and I could grow it, and organized crime would not have a dominant position. It's also basic Chicago school economics which they teach me in school and which Bill O'Reilly I supposed to support being a conservative and all.. confusing, I know..
So here is my actual point; I don't believe Bill O'Reilly believes the stuff he says on his show. Honestly I don't.
Can't wait to study in America next year !
