I've not actually seen many dutch people in films period, which may or may not be of relevance.

Just weigh your bags and compare to the net weight printed on the packaging.

as for the lights, it's very common for stores in US to leave lights on all night. I'm not sure if it's a window shopping thing or a theft deterrant.

Find work that you'll actually enjoy doing. That's harder to do than just looking at applications, going to interviews and becoming a wage slave in an office but it sure as hell is worth it.

"Looks like we got us a regular Diogenes here. Get a job, ya bum" - some really hateful old man in a dream I had once five years ago

Outlook is very important, I love my job, I love my study, I don't waste any time on it.

well.. perhaps i just feel like that atm ^^
but i do feel like we waste almost 50 years on study and work,
you only live once you know...

No, they just work every hour of the day to ensure they stay alive. Not counting domesticated pets, which I think I would die of boredom as.

Anyone who's actually lived in Anarchy would agree that the world can get much crueler than a fine for keeping governing laws in place. As for "choosing their future", there's one mantra in both civilized and non-civilized societies, work hard and you'll probably survive. The difference is the level of probable is much higher between one and the other.

Human society isn't perfect, but your being very melodramatic about how "bad" humans have it in comparison to most species.

yes, but they dont work in the mather of 40 hours a week becaus theire society says so..
they dont get fined for not doing this or that.
they dont have to choose theire future when they are 12

Erm. Animals in the wild work for their living, by "surviving".

I have definitely been outside much more since I got my pup a few years ago!

also when we go hiking he literally pulls me up the mountain and then back down again. Don't know what the smurf I'd do without him.

thats even weirder, since it is in our nature to swim, and another comon thing we learn
its another example on wich you can see how far we humans stand from nature

Some people have deeper reasons for not being able to swim other than "not being connected with their instincts." Everyone has the ability and the instinct to swim. Not everyone is raised in a way that allows them to call upon their instincts in times of need.

...Of course, some people even have reasons other than upbringing or weak instincts

One day i was working at a pig farm and we were moving piglets.
we didnt notice there was a hole in the floor so 1 little pig fell in it.. into the euuhh manure-thing under it.
and that pig... it swim as if he did it all his life. But it has never even set a foot in water before!!

I know a few people who can't swim. Crazy!

I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 15. And even then it was really difficult at first. I haven't ridden a bike in at least four years. I'd probably suck at it if I tried again.

I had a mate who couldn't swim. It was hilarious.

i get that in some country's its difficult becaus of the distance or perhaps the mountains.
But even though, i cant inmagen a life without a bike :P
how else would i get anywhere? i do have a drivers lisence, bu the bike still gives you a feeling of freedom.
u dont have to relly on your parents or anyone else for them to drive you anywhere :P

There are some parts of the world where riding a bike is very uncommon! I know quite a few people who probably have no idea how to ride bikes because they never had the chance to learn I agree though, it is a very good means of transport!

But really, we can't tell you what he wants. You should know him more than we do. Just sit and think about things he likes but doesn't get all that often or (as mentioned earlier) if he's very practical and likes to save money, get him something you know he needs but hasn't got around to getting.
