I have no idea why we celebrate on the evening on the 24th instead of the 25th. It's always been like that to me, so I wouldnt know diffrent.
24-25, who the fuck cares? It's christmas, shut up and be happy, drink some scotch and open your presents in your very own materialistic way.
I often begin with opening slowly, then as I keep going and being carefull with the presents wrapping, I get more enthustiastic and start to rip the wrapping up in a frenzied way.

I just come from a 40ish minute bath in my aunt and uncles Jacuzzi. So life is gooooood.
I also think that we here in the North celebrate on the 24th because if you look at the Aesir worship and older Swedish traditions we had the midwinter night on the solisticle.... whatever it's called. Which is closer to the 24th (the evening Jesus is born on according to the work of fiction) than the 25th.

I just did a bit of digging into the legal definition of an insult in the Netherlands. That's pretty damn broad actually. I could have been prosecuted so many times.
Hoge Raad (Supreme Court):
Een Gerechtshof (court of justice):
I really could have been prosecuted so many times.. Dayumn.
Hoge Raad (Supreme Court):
De bewezenverklaring houdt in dat het hier gaat om een belediging die iemand mondeling in zijn tegenwoordigheid is aangedaan. In een dergelijk geval moet een uitlating als beledigend worden beschouwd wanneer zij de strekking heeft die ander aan te randen in zijn eer en goede naam. Het oordeel dat daarvan sprake is zal bij woorden waarvan het gebruik op zichzelf in het algemeen niet beledigend is, afhangen van de context waarin de uitlating is gedaan.

Artikel 266 wetboek van Strafrecht makes insulting people a crime (misdrijf iirc).
The government will not prosecute you without having received a complaint though, at least that's what my app is saying

Re: Tzeentch's Thread of Everchanging Topics
There's a difference between laws still in the texts and laws which are actually practised however. Some laws get overruled by other texts (like kingly decreets) or judges here but the 'no longer applicable' laws remain in the books. I know there's a reason for it, but I honestly can't remember.
Death penalty and work camps in Belgium were still in the law (strafwetboek) until 1996 but they havn't been spoken onto someone since the 19th century.
I believe in Belgium there is still a law where if you insult a politician or someone with a high profession, you have to pay a fine of 25 belgian franks ( 0,50 euro). I've yet in my life to see a case where this happened though.

The last time the supreme court ruled on a case based on article 266 was 22-11-2011 so it is still very much in use. The maximum sentence is 3 months jail time (say what), or a fine of the second category which is a fine of up to €3800. I don't see someone getting jail time or a fine of that height quickly but legally it can be done.
Add to that that it is a 'misdrijf' (felony) and I believe you'll get yourself a criminal record. Great! All because you called someone something bad once!

I keep forgetting Belgium is one of the few countries in the world where freedom of speech really goes to its fullest. o_o
But stil.. Do you have a link of those cases? Because I believe it's not what you think it is.
Defamation (Laster en smaad) is an entirely different thing than insulting your friend or calling a minister a jerk. I'm pretty sure it won't be called upon because you called your friend a dumbass in public or because you jokingly said Bush is a moron. However if you will scream out your friend's bank is going bankrupt when it isn't. You're commiting a crime and rightfuly so. Insulting your boss over facebook for being a sex offender when it's not true. Same thing. Even going into trial against a company, causing the company to wrongfuly get bad publicity could be considered defamation if the charges are false.
Again I'm speaking out of my knowledge of Belgian and French law. I can't really speak for Dutch although I'm pretty sure even in the Netherlands, they don't use this to catch the badmouthing teenager.

Lucky you.
Oh, but we have articles for those tooDefamation (Laster en smaad) is an entirely different thing than insulting your friend or calling a minister a jerk.
Here, let me quote Smaad (261), laster (262) and eenvoudige belediging (266):
1Hij die opzettelijk iemands eer of goede naam aanrandt, door telastlegging van een bepaald feit, met het kennelijke doel om daaraan ruchtbaarheid te geven, wordt, als schuldig aan smaad, gestraft met gevangenisstraf van ten hoogste zes maanden of geldboete van de derde categorie.
2 Indien dit geschiedt door middel van geschriften of afbeeldingen, verspreid, openlijk tentoongesteld of aangeslagen, of door geschriften waarvan de inhoud openlijk ten gehore wordt gebracht, wordt de dader, als schuldig aan smaadschrift, gestraft met gevangenisstraf van ten hoogste een jaar of geldboete van de derde categorie.
3 Noch smaad, noch smaadschrift bestaat voor zover de dader heeft gehandeld tot noodzakelijke verdediging, of te goeder trouw heeft kunnen aannemen dat het te last gelegde waar was en dat het algemeen belang de telastlegging eiste.
1. Hij die het misdrijf van smaad of smaadschrift pleegt, wetende dat het te last gelegde feit in strijd met de waarheid is, wordt, als schuldig aan laster, gestraft met gevangenisstraf van ten hoogste twee jaren of geldboete van de vierde categorie.
2. Ontzetting van de in artikel 28, eerste lid, onder 1° en 2°, vermelde rechten kan worden uitgesproken.
1Elke opzettelijke belediging die niet het karakter van smaad of smaadschrift draagt, hetzij in het openbaar mondeling of bij geschrift of afbeelding, hetzij iemand, in zijn tegenwoordigheid mondeling of door feitelijkheden, hetzij door een toegezonden of aangeboden geschrift of afbeelding, aangedaan, wordt, als eenvoudige belediging, gestraft met gevangenisstraf van ten hoogste drie maanden of geldboete van de tweede categorie.
2 Niet als eenvoudige belediging strafbaar zijn gedragingen die ertoe strekken een oordeel te geven over de behartiging van openbare belangen, en die er niet op zijn gericht ook in ander opzicht of zwaarder te grieven dan uit die strekking voortvloeit.
As you can see, we got it all covered. Hell, we even got one for insulting the king and for insulting a member or head of government of a befriended state. Those are articles 111 and 118 respectively. The former has some easy to see jurisprudence in my app dating from 27-10-2010 (LJN: BO3383) so is still in use, the latter doesn't have any jurisprudence in my app but that doesn't mean there isn't any. However I do know for a fact that the law is hardly, if at all, enforced.
But stil.. Do you have a link of those cases? Because I believe it's not what you think it is.
I can't provide direct links as rechtspraak.nl does not allow that. What I can do is point you to the last 3 verdicts by courts, 2 of the Supreme Court and one by a Gerechtshof (I think the corresponding term in English would be court of appeals actually)
Supreme Court LJN's: BQ3106 and BP0291 (these also have to do with convictions by lower courts on the subject of article 266)
Gerechtshof LJN: BQ4426

Re: Tzeentch's Thread of Everchanging Topics
Put me on a monkey's back and spank me o_ô I'm boggled. I mean we have these laws too like insulting the king, a foreign state leader and such aswell but they havn't been applied since ages.
Defamation is something that you see occasionaly here but it's so very hard to prove. The only pure cases are insulting a public servant (e.g.: a cop, etc.) All the other are very hard to get evidence for and hardly ever convicted here. (E.g.: A member of the press writing an article that blackmouths a company, school even when his scource of information is dubious/proved wrong on a later date. A fellow politician calling his 'nemesis' a fraud. etc. )
Punishments for a simple insult. Never seen this. I am even doubtful in believing wether or not this exists in Belgian law.
I must say I'm unpleasantly surprised. Those are some distasteful laws you have there. It depends on how they're practised of course. I might look up those cases sometime then Thanks!

Yeah, I think at least one of those cases involves insulting a cop but still the suspect was prosecuted on basis of article 266. The things I quoted earlier on are, obviously, also from jurisprudence so there's some system to defining an insult but yeah, these laws are not all that great.
Edit: You should look up BM2024. Now that.. Is just mindboggling, I'll quote the content display:
A man was convicted for that. Here's the punishment:
Yikes!

Het aan een vrouw toevoegen van de woorden "Peggy Bundy" levert onder omstandigheden een opzettelijke belediging op.
A man was convicted for that. Here's the punishment:
Veroordeelt verdachte tot een geldboete van EUR 100,00 (honderd euro), bij gebreke van betaling en verhaal te vervangen door 2 (twee) dagen hechtenis.
Bepaalt dat de geldboete niet zal worden ten uitvoer gelegd, tenzij de rechter later anders mocht gelasten, op grond dat verdachte zich vóór het einde van een proeftijd van 2 (twee) jaren aan een strafbaar feit heeft schuldig gemaakt.
Yikes!

If you insult the royal family here they take away your nationality and passport and you lose your job
if you're not kuwaiti you get kicked out of the country
Much easier than having paragraphs and paragraphs of jibberish
