Is all this the truth??????&hellip&hellip..I hope so!!!!! We need this kind of leadership
If only our leaders had the courage to do this!
The Netherlands, where six per cent of the population is now Muslim, is scrapping multiculturalism.
The Dutch government says it will abandon the long-standing model of multiculturalism that has encouraged Muslim immigrants to create a parallel society within the Netherlands .
A new integration bill, which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to parliament on June 16, reads:
"The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people".
In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role.
With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society.
The letter continues: "A more obligatory integration is justified because the government also demands that from its own citizens."
It is necessary because otherwise the society gradually grows apart and eventually no one feels at home anymore in the Netherlands.
The new integration policy will place more demands on immigrants.
For example, immigrants will be required to learn the Dutch language, and the government will take a tougher approach to immigrants who ignore Dutch values or disobey Dutch law.
The government will also stop offering special subsidies for Muslim immigrants because, according to Donner;
"It is not the government's job to integrate immigrants." (How bloody true).
The government will introduce new legislation that outlaws forced marriages and will also impose tougher measures against Muslim immigrants who lower their chances of employment by the way they dress.
More specifically, the government imposed a ban on face-covering, Islamic burqas as of January 1, 2014.
Holland has done that whole liberal thing, and realized - maybe too late - that creating a nation of tribes, will kill the nation itself.
The future of Australia, the UK, USA and Canada may well be read here.
READERS NOTE: Muslim immigrants leave their countries of birth because of civil and political unrest . ."CREATED BY THE VERY NATURE OF THEIR CULTURE."
Countries like Holland, Canada, USA the UK and Australia have an established way of life that actually works, so why embrace the unworkable?
If Muslims do not wish to accept another culture, the answer is simple;
"STAY WHERE YOU ARE!!"
This gives a whole new meaning to the term, 'Dutch Courage' ... Unfortunately Australian, UK, USA and Canadian politicians don't have the ... guts to do the same. There's a whole lot of truth here!!!!

Short answer: No
Sunscreens with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 30 block about 97% of ultraviolet rays,While sunscreens with an SPF of higher than 30 block 97%-98%.

Calorie for calorie, whole fruit provides more nutritional benefits than drinking the pure juice of that fruit.That's because when you liquefy fruit, stripping away the peel and dumping the pulp, many ingredients likeFiber, calcium, vitamin C, and other antioxidants are lost.

Short answer: Yes
Hot tubs — especially ones in spas, hotels, and gyms — are perfect breeding grounds for germs.
The water is not hot enough to kill bacteria, but is just the right temperature to make microbes grow even faster.Even though hot tubs are treated with chlorine, the heat causes the disinfectant to break down fasterthan it would in regular pools.
The most common hot tub infection is pseudomonas folliculitis, which causes red, itchy bumps.A more dangerous side-effect of soaking in a dirty Jacuzzi is a form of pneumonia known as Legionnaire's disease.Does coffee cause cancer?
Short answer: No

More recently, health studies have swung in favor of the caffeinated beverage.Coffee has been linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, liver cancer, and even suicide.Do eggs raise cholesterol levels?
Short answer: No
Although egg yolks are a major source of cholesterol — a waxy substance that resembles fat — researchers have learned that saturated fat has more of an impact on cholesterol in your blood than eating foods that contain cholesterol.

Short answer: Yes
It is very rare for someone to die from drinking too much water, but it can happen.
Overhydrating is most common among elite athletes.

To avoid this, drink fluids with electrolytes during extreme exercise events.Can yogurt ease digestive problems?

Is it safe to microwave food in plastic containers?
Short answer: Yes
But the plastic container should display the words "microwave safe." This means that the Food and Drug Administration has tested the container to make sure no chemicals used to make the plastic leech into foods during microwaving.If chemicals do seep out into food, the amounts are tiny and not dangerous to our health.
As a general guideline, plastic grocery bags as well as most plastic tubs that hold margarine, yogurt, cream cheese,and condiments are not microwave safe.Can watching TV ruin your eyesight?

Is bottled water better for you than tap water?
Short answer: No
Bottled water is no safer or purer than tap water, although it is substantially more expensive.
A recent study by Glasgow University in the U.K. found that bottled water is actuallymore likely to be contaminated than water from your faucet because it is less well-regulated.
Bottled water and tap water typically come from the same sources — natural springs, lakes, and aquifers.While public water supplies are tested for contaminants every day, makers of bottled water are only requiredto test for specific contaminants every week, month, or year.
