It sounds like there are many problems. I had been meaning to ask you about the influx of Muslims into Europe. It sounds like the Dutch are having some real problems.

The problem is that Europeans are too tolerant against Muslims who are intolerant. The Netherlands are particularly tolerant and liberal, they had the paradigm that everybody can do what he wants, it is his private business. Germans go to the Netherlands if they want to have an abortion or buy drugs or things like that, because the law allows this in the Netherland. They even allow euthanasia. I think the Dutchmen now get what they reaped, because they tolerated all kind of evil things including fanatic Muslims.

Also, I have read about the decline of the birth rates of native populations. Russia is especially in decline.

That's right. People don't want to have children. Those who are poor and have no job cannot afford children because they have no money. This is true for Russia and applies also to Germans increasingly. Those who have jobs are too busy to have kids. In their spare time they want to enjoy expensive holidays. They don't want to take over responsibility. We have many of those so called "DINKs" (double income, no kids). We also have many singles.

BTW, when I said have a sense of humor regading politics, I didn't mean just to laugh at human suffering.

Of course, I would not assume you would do that. I just wanted to say that facing the world as it is today it is much more difficult to laugh, compared with the world as it was in the decades after WWII.
