And they are good at it too, there's a list made once of all existing cursewords Dutch people can come up with, and there's over a thousand of em. I think it somehow became kinda natural to use those kind of words. In some cities it's worse than in others. The city i was born in must be one of the worst, they even curse eachother out when they haven't seen eachother for some time and it's not even considdered cursing, more of a way to greet eachother (in sort of a moronic way).

That's sooo true. And they don't have to be angry to say it. Last time I was riding with some friends from school to home, there were some guys in a car driving in the opposite direction and waiting for a traffic light. They opened their window and just started to scream those things at me.
But have you seen a German curseword dictionary? My German teacher showed us it last year. It's about 5 centimetres thick, nearly as thick as a normal one!
