Unbelievable...

[Link]

My grandma told me this story yesterday.
She went to the beach in the Netherlands, in the province "Zeeland" to be exactly (In "Zeeland" a lot of Germans come to visit the beach). There was a couple over there who told each other:
"It's a shame so many Dutch people are around here"
My grandma survived WWII, so she became furious, but her friend could stop her from saying something to those Germans. I can understand her completely; I mean, that doesn't make any sense, does it? Saying something like that in the Netherlands, which is Dutch territory. Unbelievable that people can do such things...

------------------
A long time ago I had the opportunity to chose between a good memory, and good looks for the rest of my life. Only I forgot what I chose..
Guns don't kill people, people kill other people.

So, therefore:
Nobody moves! Give me your wallet, I have a person right here!

There are always some ignorent people
Don't bother about them
Sometimes people tell me i have to get back to "my own country" While I live longer in Apeldoorn then them
The Maiority of people aren't like that
But than again
Why ever would you go to Zeeland?

LOL! I don't go to Zeeland that often Rikard, but my grandma was born in Vlissingen, so she goes there pretty often. It's just that Germans know that we Dutch don't like them that much since WW2, but then they just say these things. It's as if they don't learn from their actions.

you know link that by saying this

"It's just that Germans know that we Dutch don't like them that much since WW2, but then they just say these things. It's as if they don't learn from their actions."

you are not being fair to most germans who aren;t like that
Who themselfs have suffered from that bad reputation which was not their fault
Don't let the actions of few let you influence your opinion of the whole

Edit: Wolfie That's a Great Sig you made for Link

I know, Rikard, and I don't hate all Germans: How can they be blamed for the actions their ancestors committed? They just can't. It's just that these people who told each other about "Too much Dutch people around" shouldn't act like this, especially not in Holland.
If I hated Germans that much, Rikard, I would have flamed Kaz and Ramon in the beginning, which I didn't, and won't.

That is a thing that makes me be ashamed of being German. I keep telling myself that there are idiots in every country and every culture, but Germany has worked hard to put its past behind it, so comments like that undermine what we have worked for for the last 50 years.
