    Hello all,

    I am Defiant (yes, I am), from The Netherlands. I have no idea what to tell y'all about myself, but feel free to ask if you wish to know anything :)

    Welcome! What are the forces in The Netherlands or the world that you feel compelled to defy?
    You will fit right in here - the defiant are becoming the majority. ;-) Good luck

    At the one end, we in The Netherlands have highly polarising political figures (Geert Wilders). The other end is occupied by extremely political correct figures, clouding the daily reality with empty, so-called bridging rhetoric. The latter is losing the support from the public, the former growing in power and creating an angry society. I defy both :)

    Well, if you are not politically correct you are in the "deplorable" basket. ;-)

    Voorburg, close to the political epicenter of The Netherlands! I have been there once, when I worked for Deloitte and they still had a payroll department there.
