Cannabis Cup - will it be the last in Dam and end coffeshops

[Marco]

Was talking to DC at the bar the other day and while detailing why my idea sucks ass he said he would rather give money to starving children..he ,also, said maybe the coffeeshop owners could have done this on their own earlier..true if they have as much money as he supposes.(.DC,please, chime in if I have got any of your opinions wrong,although I am quite sure about your opinion of my idea)

I found it interesting,however, that he sympathized with the dutch with regard to their feeling of embarrassment regarding their reputation because of weed and sex..if I were a dutchman and somebody bought into the stereotype I would be inclined to explain to the uneducated person who said that about the disproportionately high gnp..number 1 on UNICEF child welfare rankings..low drug use..etc..

I tend to have the ego of a megalomaniac so this would be no issue.even a person with a normal ego would be better served to not allow the prejudices of idiots to cause them to piss away a
System that has been very successful to go back to a street dealers bonanza. As for your implication that Americans ate the biggest loudest Assholes I'm Amsterdam..I would say it is the drunks in general that cause the disturbances.

Side note .. I am actually pretty timid and respectful of the dutch locals..I don't usually smoke in the street .however,two years ago I was with the unofficial mayor of the coffeeshop walking thru the Dec storm..he was smoking a joint..I asked if that was cool. He waved me off like who gives a shit or I was being a prude...he is dutch..born and raised

Who is the unofficial mayor of the coffeeshop?

[Uncle Ron]

oh Ron

the gif didn't show, but i see in the description that it's a smack self in the head...
i don't know who the rudest people are, i just wanted to stir the pot a little...
see how easy it was? a little passive aggressiveness sprinkled with a hint of ignorance... works like a charm...
Next...

Uncle Ron ..I know you are American..I don't know you ,of course..never said I was going to do extreme stuff just joking about mrdcotor and what he said in earlier posts..as in " better do something or mrdcotor is going to go off" a joke ..because I don't have your Sharp wit I can understand how it might get past you..way to misrepresent what I said..uncle Ron it just seems like you are very go with the flow..cool..it just pissed me off that stoners get pushed around because they are so go with the flow..that is all I am saying...according to most I am doing pretty poorly on this sit...don't need you to put words in my mouth...yeah, I know a gag would be better or in this case take my phone away. .. glad to entertain you though

I don't know why people always seem to zero in on American tourists as the "loud and arrogant" ones.

In my experience, the Irish, Scot, English, Canadian, French, Italian and vacationing Dutch make equal asses and annoyances of themselves in Amsterdam.

In fact, it was about 2,000 UKers and local Dutch that were the fucktards back in Feb during the Ajax-Man Utd game.

I think people label "ugly Americans" because it is easy to pile on, but they aren't the only guilty parties.

There's over 300 million Americans, so by ratio they'll likely outnumber visitors from other countries.

Don't waste your time saying "the worst" or the "guiltiest" offenders of fucktard behaviour are Americans...they're no worse than anyone else...there's just more of them.

Human behaviour is universal I'd say, percentage wise.

[HasAnyoneSeenMyPipe]

Every nation has its arseholes the US in not unique in that respect. In answer to the OPs question, God I hope not, though I feel it will fall apart due to its unpopularity I will not get all butthurt if the Dutch decide enough is enough, their country, their rules. Though i will miss my visits to a city where I could enter a shop and buy and smoke weed without fear of harassment.

we is peolpe..and as people we have fun..when we have fun we make noise...show me a quiet table in a coffeshop and ill show ya spoon...fix that right up///...written by spoon

Ok... he is the unofficial mayor in my opinion...you can probably figure it out Marco.I hate to subject him to guilt by association if you know what I mean

[zootly]

That they are inducting Steve Hager himself to the 'Counterculture Hall of Fame' this year is surely a sign that the organizers of the Cannabis Cup are not too positive about the future of the Cup in Dam

Did you read the post directly preceding yours? If not, I invite you to have a read, it's short and to the point.
I'm having a bit of fun about a subject that has too many threads saying the same thing, that's all!

Yes, I am an American by birth. I'm also male, Caucasian, heterosexual, left dominant ambidextrous, and a few beautiful quirks...
These weren't choices, but my attitude absolutely is. Something to think about...

Where did I state you specifically were going to do something extreme? I addressed what you wrote.
I got that you intended for it to be a joke, I saw the smiley face.
I didn't put words in your mouth, you wrote them down for the world to read.
Nothing above is inflammatory, however what follows next might be...
Extreme example ahead (all have been warned )
Joking on Fox TV led to the murder of an abortion doctor. But hey, they were only joking.
It starts with an idea or suggestion... Just be mindful, that's all. Too easy...

It bothers me as well that there are people who are "pushed around", for any reason not only because they ingest cannabis.
Let me make one thing absolutely clear, I'm not one of those people, as is your opinion of me.
Ask around, there are a few people on this forum who have met me. Nimrod, be silent...

In my humble opinion (for what it's worth) you aren't doing poorly, just slightly overreacting to responses generated by your opinions and criticism of others.
The dialogue has a civil tone, civil is always a good thing...

Cannabis Cup - will it be the last in Dam...
I think the peeps over at High Times may have stepped away from the bong long enough to have seen the writing on the wall...

Nothing will replace the HTCC in Amsterdam, but this is in the right direction.
Happy trails...

No one culture is worse than another, all things considered equal...
I liked stirring the pot a bit on this touchy subject...
Go to just about any country and they will have an opinion on whose the best, worst, etc... tourist or local...
From my personal experience, I can't pick out any one culture or nationality who are more better or worse than the next...
Read what some have to write about this "touchy" subject, amazing.

Just taking the piss...
Happy trails...

Thanks for response ,uncle ron. As to the analogy of faux news and abortion doctor,shame you have to explain that it is a bit of hyperbole. As we know we are under the watchful eye of the pc police....

Marco, it should have read unofficial mayor of the acd website...that might help.from what I have read on ACD he did not win in a landslide, but I think he is the man

[doctordude]

I don't know why people always seem to zero in on American tourists as the "loud and arrogant" ones.

The Dutch don't! They introduced the Wietpas first in the southern provinces and in my experience there are not that man American tourists in Masstricht or Eindhoven. But there are lots of Belgians, Germans and Frenchmen around ... I smell resentment

Jews have a pretty powerful lobbying group in US.disproportionate to their numbers.why because they fight for it.stoners definitely don't wield the power they could

Last time I checked it wasn't illegal to be Jewish in the US. But being a stoner is and lobbying for legalization is like putting a cross-hair on yourself: "Dear cops, please harass me"
