This sounds like a good place to live for me, because I don't spit gum on streets and wouldn't want to live around people who do. What kind of disgusting person would do such a thing? And who chews gum these days?
Personally, I think this is a terrible analogy.
As an outsider, the Netherlands seems a lot more stable than many other democracies, including Germany and the US.

- dexterous 3y agoYeah, they just restrict you from doing stuff; like browsing large swaths of the Internet, for instance.
