I agree that arguing with some people is a waste of your time.

But simply saying "OK" and go on your merry ways will validate them in their wrongness and gradually make them more pigheaded and stubborn.

I believe the right way to handle such people is telling them they are wrong without letting yourself get drawn into a spun out argument. Just let them know that they are wrong, perhaps with a smattering of arguments, and then go on your merry ways.

Like this:

Moron: "Guh buh luh".
You: "You're wrong. Guh doesn't buh luh"
Moron: "Yes, but guh buh luh".
You: "No, you're wrong like I already pointed out. Goodbye!"

In the short term, you can get by with only English. In the long term, if you want to become a Dutch citizen, you'll have to pass a test which among other things also grades you on having a rudimentary grasp of Dutch.

Rest assured though that most asylum seekers who come here from a vastly different culture (Middle East, many Ukrainians, a smattering of African nations and yes, even some from China) manage to pass the test after taking a course so it is doable.

You might want to look into the Dutch American Friendship Treaty. Basically, you can relocate to the Netherlands as an American citizen if you are prepared to jump through some hoops. You will also need about € 6000, 4500 of which are to remain in your possession in a business bank account.

It's like a psychopath saying that by not doing what he wants, you force him to punish you. It's all your fault.

WHAT?

Look at the ears on the groom. If he stood up in a row boat, it would sail away faster than you could row it.

It's just a tactic. Pose unreasonable demands beforehand, then when the other party says "no" you can limelight yourself as the good guys because you tried a diplomatic solution.

When it's expended, you can use the empty casing to beat the fire into submission.

I once had a Gazelle bicycle named after Chamonix. It was stolen. I'm a Dutchie, and this was to be expected. I now have a bicycle named after Montreux.

You better be careful what you write. Disney has a patent on the word "copyright" in all its various derivations and miss spellings.

No, because the left and right ear are transposed. So technically it's not Micky. It merely looks like him. Notice how I misspelled the name.

In one form or another, the possibilities are being explored and implemented.

Perhaps there are no spooks actually living in those cities with the intention of going out and killing people on short notice.

Intelligence is being gathered, and plans are continually updated. Could be they send in teams when the moment turns critical. Could be they target them through blackmail. Could be they block their access to financial assets.

I don't see a gold plated Desert Eagle, nor an original Colt 45 with mother of pearl grip.
