We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Doesn't invalide the point that you can't just take this info and shout "Oh, look, the Netherlands has a bigger crime problem than America". Our entire law system is different, get me a list comparing the crimes without ignoring the laws, then we cal talk.
