Reply to comment by McLarenMP4-26 in Dutch Constitution to be amended to ban discrimination based on sexuality or disability by DutchBlob
Immigration is decreasing and emmigration is increasing - an aging population plus an economy which is struggling, I think they've got the higheat debt to GDP ratio in Europe except for Greece. Uni students move upon graduating and don't really get replaced so they've got a bit of a brain drain too.
I'm by no means am expert but that's my basic understanding of the situation.

Reply to comment by silversurfer63 in TIL that British troops developed a diss song against Nazi leaders during World War II titled "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball." It was quickly picked up and sang by Allied troops. by collarpoppppppin
That's basically the same as what I learnt (dirty bugger vs filthy bugger, and chopped it off vs took the other)
Although there was another version I heard:
Hitler, he's only got one ball
Gorring's got two but rather small
Himmler, is very similar
And Goeball's got no balls at all!

What would be the most iconic landmark of Paris had the Eiffel Tower not been built? The Notre Dame? Arc de Triomphe?

Aye but to my knowledge it's a much more treatable disease than Rabies itself
