  Btw, what my ancestors did is as follows ... Slaves from the slavery period were shipped to Suriname and The Antillen, both where colonies we ruled. When Suriname got back her independence in 1975 the Dutch govermnent saw it as her responsibility to redeem herself and started payments for the rebuilt of that country. The Antillen, still a part of the Netherlands also get a lot of payments from us. People from those two parts can come to Holland without a visa, and can start to work and live here without so much as a by your leave from our side. Reality is that a lot of them do just that, only the work part of " work and live" seems to illude them. People from the Antillen are considered one of the major groups of trouble makers in the cities. I personally have a strong dislike towards them cuz the knowcked my cousin unconsious and in the hospital for weeks. Yes I generalize, and am probably a tad racist, but you should live and experience it to understand me. I cannot walk the streets in places that were considered fun parts of the city, cuz I'll be looked away at daylight, and robbed and raped at night.

  In the 60's and 70's our country also was in need of employment, and so we welcomed those from Turkey and elswhere to come and work here. Many did. I have no problem with them, they worked, build up there social rights and enjoyed life. Even though the plan of the govenrment was that they would leave in say 5 year, most decided to stay. Again, no problem with that, as long as they work and abide by the rules. What I do have a problem with is that their entire families came here, who did not work, but profited of our social welfare. I have a problem with Turkish young man stating bland in newspapers that they wouild never marry dutch girls cuz they are whores and you can bed them whenever you as much wink at them. I have a problem with the same young men, who then get a girl from their own country, non-educated and marry that girl, only to keep her in the house and not let that same girl integrate. I have a problem with this, since it caused whole parts of the cities to become a colony of these people.

  Although I can understand where you're coming from (and you made some good points in your post), do think about the following. Suppose you lived in a poor country, you and your family were really very poor and couldn't make ends meet. Would the thought ever cross your mind to 'immigrate' to a place where you could make a better living for yourself, and where your kids could have an education, and perhaps a future? When all is said and done, both sides of the fence are tough to be on.

  My mum already kinda of responded to this one ... Daily i meet people from, for example, Turkey, who lived here for say 20 years, living on welfare and not speaking a single Dutch word. Excuse me, but if I had control over that, I'd ship them right back to where they came from. To stress my point, a few weeks ago a Turkish girl came to my shop for a mobile phone on her 18th birthday. Nice girl, no head coverings, speaking perfect, with a Rotterdam accent, Dutch. 3 Hours later her mum came, loving the phone wanting it for herself. Great woman, laughing, joking, wearing head covering but speaking pefect Dutch. And afterwards her father, kind man, working and speaking perfect Dutch. I was flabbergasted and practically wanted to nominate them for a statue. Now, my reaction to them is actually what pisses me off ..... cuz each and every one coming to this country should be like that. But fact of the matter is that that family was an exeption to the general rule i.g. don't speak Dutch, build your own churches and shops, do not look kindly at when natives walk through your streets etc. I no longer feel safe in my own country cuz of Islam and the excesses of Islam. In my own country ... For excesses of Islam google for Theo van Gogh for an example.

  If i was poor and changeless ... quite possibly I would immigrate. But most definatly I'd respect the ways of the country I would be living in, learn the languege and find me a job.

  The group hugs and kisses just keep on coming in this one ...

  Well, personaly I am deeply sorry for what my ancestors did, cuz they sure caused a whole lot of trouble we are facing today. I wish that I wouldn't be forced to pay along for the millions of tax-raised euro The Netherlands are flowing to the Antillen or Suriname. Personally, I think enough is enough. Yes, we bought quite a few people, and gawd does the governement feel guitly in 2005 about it. Positive dicrimation caused me to loose one job already, but I prefer that than paying along for those coming here for economical benefits ... meaning welfare. And don't get me wrong, welfare is large enough to live comfortably on here. And I dislike it even more knowing that when people for some countries come here for a couple of years, live on welfare, and go back to where they came from .... they still get that monthly check made out of -also my hard earned- euro's. Do I have a problem with the Netherlands being overrun by immigrants who bring nothing - just take ... oh I most certainly do.

  Just my opinion, burn me for it if you will, it's a free country, I can speak my mind

  Does Anyone Feel Stuck In Their Job?

  does anyone hate their job but feel like they would be throwing away a good thing if they quit?

  i'm working at my 3rd state agency in 4 years and have been unhappy at every one of them--usually because i don't have enough work to do and feel like a hamster on a wheel waiting for the paycheck, and i'm so bored!.

  i'm scared to quit the state job because i have a large family, and this affords me great medical benefits and retirement benefits.. any advice?

  No, not really .... I have goals in my current job, and my manager supports me in it. My filosophy has always been " if i don't like it, i'll leave". That statement has been sure to get me a higher pay and position where I work now ...

  But then, i have no responsibilities (kids), and can afford to demand stuff with risk of losing all ..

  Thats the nice thing about the written word MrsJones .... its permanent...

  But I suppose you can't have the decency to go and apologize over what you have written, "moving on" is such a nice term ain't it?
