The Danish were the only country to give the Jews back all of their previous jobs / businesses that were taken during the war. You alone make me think they did it so they could be the cool rebellious ones.

I dont think you understand real Ale, it is the least gay thing in the world. I mean most Ale drinkers are like 20st and really hairy with 5 teeth, I would not know how one could find another attractive.

Oh, now it's on Vaell. It's on like Donkey Kong.

I present you the Dutch East India Company. Widely considered the first multinational this world has ever known, coincidentally it is also considered the first megacorporation:

The Dutch East India Company (VOC; Verenigde Oost-indische Compagnie), founded in 1602, is often considered as the first true multinational corporation.

http://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans/eng/ch2en/conc2en/map_VOC_Trade_Network.html

That's a source from Hofstra university in the United States.

The Dutch East India Company was the world’s first multinational corporation.

http://history.emory.edu/home/assets/documents/endeavors/volume3/DanielGerstell.pdf

http://www.hydro-international.com/news/id3598-Charter_of_the_Dutch_East_India_Company_VOC_Online.html

Amsterdam has been synonymous with entrepreneurship and innovation since 1602 when the Dutch East India Company merchants became the first multinational corporation (MNC) in history and the first company ever to issue stocks and bonds.

http://abs.uva.nl/programmes/master-s-programmes/content6/study-programme/entrepreneurship-and-innovation.html

Also the first company, according to some of the above sources, to ever issue stocks and bonds.

A thesis on the world's first stock exchange:

The developments on the secondary market
for VOC shares in the second half of the seventeenth century thus transformed the securities market into the world’s first stock exchange.

http://dare.uva.nl/document/201694

http://www.beursvanberlage.nl/1611/

Wikipedia tends to be a source that is lacking but I'll cite it nonetheless, as in this case they cite a book:

The Amsterdam Stock Exchange is considered the oldest in the world. It was established in 1602 by the Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie, or "VOC") for dealings in its printed stocks and bonds.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_stock_exchange

As for establishing the world's first central bank:

Abstract: This paper outlines a model of the first true central bank, the Bank of Amsterdam, founded in
1609. Employing a variant of the Freeman (1996) model of money and payments, we first analyze the
problematic monetary situation in the Netherlands prior to the founding of the Bank. We then use the
model to describe how the Bank could remedy this situation by creating a stable medium for the
settlement of commercial obligations.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta probably has a good idea of what a central bank is Wink

We weren't one of Europe's premier powers for a long time for nothing Wink

Enough evidence for tonight? :p

So banks and shitty stock markets...

I would argue along the lines of whores and pot if I was you Anti, I know you love this stuff but the rest of us turned off at Dutch eaz..zzz..zzz..zzz..

And yet these things have brought the world an immense amount of prosperity Wink

I vaguely recall somewhere that the Dutch and British East India companies cut a deal. India with its textiles went to the Brits, Indonesia with its spices to the Dutch. At that point spices were more profitable, but over time textile became way more important.

Socialism>capitalism

Capitalism has brought us nothing but slavery and struggle.

by **Antistia** Sat Oct 20, 2012 8:27 pm

And socialism. It's also brought us socialism as socialism is a reaction to the perceived injustices of capitalism.

by **Lexgrad** Sat Oct 20, 2012 8:31 pm

Socialism was written by Karl Marx in London, cos its English too.

Sorry Anti, even the Worgens have better lore than Holland.

Karl Marx never had British nationality.

Ever heard of the 80 years war?

The difference is that we were an upstart province fighting for our independence.

On another note:

I see your 100 years of warfare, and raise you 335 years of WAR.

Quoting from your link...

"The origins of the war can be found in the Second English Civil War"

Even drunk I dare say that the only person making sense in this thread is Antistia. Vaell, Ixirar and Lexgrad, you're all thick as shite.

Antistia has by far won this one simply by using reliable sources and common sense. Try it, lads, it might win you an argument.

by **Lexgrad** Sat Oct 20, 2012 9:07 pm

My last post came from a reliable sourse... wait wiki...

by **Antistia** Sat Oct 20, 2012 9:07 pm

See, you guys just couldn't keep it together which lead to us having to involve ourselves with you, just like we had to put William on your throne because you guys had fucked up again! :p

by **Lexgrad** Sat Oct 20, 2012 9:08 pm

You gave the world Lor and Dref to a lesser extent. Game set and match.

by **Antistia** Sat Oct 20, 2012 9:11 pm

We also gave the world Teddy Roosevelt and FDR to a certain extent. Teddy alone compensates for innumerable affronts to humanity.

by **Lorainne/Bridlington** Sat Oct 20, 2012 9:11 pm

Oh, burn. I'd rather be gay than some lonely loser. Oh wait.

Antistia, could you please reply to my first post on the United Kingdom's membership of the European Union? I'd love to see your opinion.
