Posting a reply to the video on the site itself was not possible. so ill post my reply here..

Good video. One comment though; is there not more recent data that shows the same numbers? All your sources are from 2005-2006.
Nice work on using percentages, as America is a far larger country.

In my personal opinion; America is like France. It's a beautiful country, it's just a pitty americans live there…

I also had problems placing a comment on the front page.

I am really amazed to see this reaction by Fox to your video.

I noticed the following in the Fox response to your video:

 

Bill O'Reilly categorizes anyone opposing his views (which automatically includes yours) as “the left”.

 

O'Reilly calls your video (that mentions statistics that prove his views wrong) “cute propaganda”

 

O'Reilly mentions his two co-hosts and himself have actually been to Amsterdam.

 

Margaret Hoover refers to you as “they”, as if you represent an (evil) organization.

 

In the first program Hoover argues how the “wonderfully naive ideas about teaching their children to have save sex and smoke grass” made “all the criminals and drug addicts throughout Europe (go) and exploited that opening in Amsterdam”. Now she accuses you of “conveniently” cutting out her statement that “all the international organized crime” came to Amsterdam because of lenient drug laws. But in your footage shown on Fox, you mentioning the fact that the US suffers 15 times more drug related deaths then The Netherlands is cut out. Hoover now reasons that The Netherlands have less of a drug use problem then a drug related crime problem. So she now in fact retracts her statement about how “all the drug addicts” have come to Amsterdam. This is because she can not explain away how the US would otherwise have 15 times more drug deaths then The Netherlands. 

 

Trying to explain away the much higher homicide rate in the US -which shows that The Netherlands have a smaller crime problem (drug related or otherwise) then the US- Bill O'Reilley says: “the way they do their stats is way different then we do them over here”.

 

Gretchen Carlson shows how she thoroughly studied the situation in Amsterdam with this statement: “I did go and look at the travel guides for other European cities and (their crime problems) are similar to what the travel guides say about Amsterdam”.

 

Then Bill O'Reilley explains away the fact that 40% of US citizens have tried Marihuana, against 22% of the Dutch with “statistics in The Netherlands is different plus it is a much smaller country, a much smaller base to do the stats”.

 

And then the grand finale: “I don't even care what happens in The Netherlands”.

 

It is amazing to see the defensive attitude of this multi-million dollar network towards just one (then) anonymous Youtuber. Because of the Fox reaction, this “conflict” has become mainstream news in The Netherlands and gets attention with bloggers in the US.

 

It seems O'Reilley DOES care what happens in The Netherlands. It seems he takes your video very personal. Why?

 

Would that be because Snoopy Dogg was allowed to openly insult him on Dutch TV with “Fuck Bill O'Reilly”, “He's a motherfucking prick” and more?

 

Or is it because -indeed- your video was so cute and innocent? O'Reilley will usually scream and yell at his guests until they are bullied into submission or start screaming back and lose face that way. Maybe he is frustrated that your friendly response made him lose face this time?

Keep it up! I look forward to your next video and I hope your efforts help to set the record strait and make people like O'Reilley stop foul mouthing Amsterdam and The Netherlands in general.

 

hmm, even I do agree with your point with never take a taxi in Amnsterdam.. but hey can you tell me how can we transport easily in Amsterdam.
