          Leave Amsterdam alone.... those fuckers have already started meddling. You can no longer get a beer in a coffeeshop. To have a beer while you smoke a joint you have to do it in a weed smoking friendly bar. Sucks.

          Don't mess with Amsterdam you fuckers.

                  Good news. Adam's RLD was in the pits with the most unfriendly hookers on the planet.

                      I think they will come to their senses once the tourist euros start to dry up.

                            I would expect Visa would be very unhappy if for some reason every porn company and customer stopped using their service..

                            I thought the red light district referred to sex more than drugs?

                              They were talking about this last year on the BBC news and they also want to close down all the pot cafes

                                  I find it hard to believe the tourism industry would not be hurt by that.
                                  I know several people, and at least one of those two things is all they travel they for.

                                  I wouldn't fly over for another Amsterdam convention.

                                            "A recent survey confirms the sentiment: the city administration's polling agency found that 67 percent of Amsterdam's population supports a clampdown on sketchy business. The Amsterdam City Council approved the plan about two weeks ago by an overwhelming 43-2 majority."

                                            At least Holland is a democracy, not like certain places i won't name.

                                                so, no blow and hookers!

                                                No more reason to visit the dump!

                                                Damn fools closing the places down are the same fools that frequented the places of ill repute!

                                                  Closing the red light district or even all coffeeshops with it wouldn't mean
                                                  you wouldn't be able to buy drugs....that's something they will NEVER be
                                                  able to ban.....they would shoot themselves in the foot if they tried to.
                                                  Coz in the coffeeshops it's a controlled environment and easy to monitor.

                                                  Monitoring and controlling street and other location dealing would be a hell
                                                  of a lot more complicated. They're not that stupid

                                                          Seems to me that the article is just talking about the sex workers .. not the coffeeshops. In fact, the word "coffeeshop" doesn't even appear in the article.

                                                          So, you'll still be able to get stoned .. just no hookers.

Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Czech, Hungary, etc.

                                                                                      if you think visa doesn't like our money, your also wrong, if they didn't want it, they wouldn't still be taking it. simple equation. after all, it is their ball. they only let the people they like play with it.
