Grow up people scared a sex. Stop acting like children.

The Dutch are about the least afraid-of-sex people there are. It sounds like the mayor is corrupt and developers want the land (which is prime real-estate right near the central train station) for luxury Russian oligarch stolen-loot banking schemes, which is pretty much what the central city of every major European capital is used for these days.

Did you not read the article and just react based off what you think is in it? What they are protesting is the relocation of the red light district to outside the city

[-] diskmaster23@lemmy.one 1 points 10 months ago

The article does say that residents don't want them to relocate.

Yeah that's exactly what I did. My statement is still true regardless.

There are no rules. Hard to believe I know but people can and do make posts just after reading the headline. What a crazy world we live in.

Yeah, you can do that, but it doesn't make you look smart or even informed on the article you're commenting on, it just makes you look like a dumbass.

Oh my. I guess we need laws for the Internet.

No law against playing poker without looking at your cards. Chances are you’ll loose.

Your choice. Same with assuming what a topic is and arguing straw men.
