Miley thought she is cool and people in holland and all over the world will like her so called cool behavior but the Dutch newspapers came out today stating that The city of Amsterdam is not happy at all and this is not the image they want to portray.

As a Dutch born person I know how annoying it is when people ask where you are from and the first things they say is;

- weed/ coffee shops

- gay marriage ( although after being the first country now many countries have followed and defiantly not all Dutch people are in favor of gay marriages but many are in favor of equal legal rights for same sex couples as for couple of opposite sexes)


Back in the days people would say about holland;

- wooden shoes

- beautiful canal views and historic buildings

- tulips/ flowers / Keukenhof

- Rembrandt and Vincent Van Gogh

Now Miley is trying to ruin the image even more all for her few minutes of additional fame and if that is her way of becoming a role model than please black her out on tv!

What can you say. The Dutch lawmakers back in the 1980s made sure Holland would be known for drugs, prostitution, gays, and other moral decay and US is following that example.

I'm pretty sure the city of Amsterdam, as in the people who live there, couldn't care less.

There are many Dutch who are not happy with that reputation.

I'm not opposed to Miley Cyrus smoking cannabis. However; she is really starting to make an a** out of herself these days! WTF does Disney do to those kids?

The Dutch have their embarassing druggie culture and the USA has its embarassing low-talent moronic pop celebrities.

As a Dutch born person and having lived there for decades I can tell you that over the years education and other things have gone down a lot and partly arethe liberal laws to blame for that since kids are performing less while using weeds and other stuff and sex at all times of the day on tv is not doing any positive purpose to anybody.

Only some people think it is cool to use the F word on tv all the time, so Christian or whatever morality someone wants to mention is at least helping for young people to focus better or more important things.

The Pink/Gay Parade has been going on there for decades and I remember being at work in retail at the time and not getting one customer in the door due to the Gay parade and little kids walking with their kissing 2 moms and/or dad. Everything was so over the top and just done to shock.

I don't have issues with gay people but just as a regular couple I don't need to see what they should do behind closed doors! Especially not in front of little kids!
