[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3396950, member: 2844"]Agree, and it is not like Antiquers to accept what an Amazon seller says as proof. Or tell them lies about the history of their ancient language. Dutch is not German, it is in fact an older language. The Dutch never spoke German, they spoke Dutch and still do. Not even the German occupation and cultural suppression during WWII could change that. The member who echoed those German supremacist thoughts may not have realised the full extent of what he was doing (know your history!), but that kind of 'cultural cleansing' is not only extremely offensive, it is punishable by law in many countries. The German supremacist statement is still on the forum without any apology or even a simple rectification by said person. It goes against 7 of the forum rules (politics), and 2, cyber bullying. Let's respect each other and each other's cultures, and not be out to hurt people, insult a cultural symbol, or deny a nation's identity. Belgian, our valued neighbours.:)[/QUOTE]
