7 dead 16 wounded at attack on Dutch queensday.

In a bizarre display of "car-ism" people are now venting their anger on black Suzuki Swifts (the car used in the attack). Guess we were lucky it was a white Dutch guy who commited this crime. Although he had a Taxi Driver like mohawk.
shmokes:
WTF? That's seriously weird.

It's not just watching the royals, it's a tradition. Similar to a whole population deciding to carve one of these disgusting turkeys on a fixed date every year.

<.....bbbblinks> What's wrong with turkey, man?

That they're not very tasty?

You seriously don't like turkey? I guess there's no accounting for taste. It's easily my favourite meat.
And it's not just an American thing. In Britain it's traditional to eat a turkey on Christmas day. We don't have any equivalent of thanksgiving though.

Hey, man, it's true. I've had a lot of jobs. ;D I was one of the two night guys when the place was sold. New owner asks old owner which employees are trustworthy and is told I'm the only one. Guess I was the only employee not stealing from the place. So the new owner asks me if I want an $8/hr raise to try running the place... hell yeah, I need the money, but only until we find a replacement since the next semester starts in 8 weeks.

Well I see turkey as a cheap filler. It's probably the most tasteless and cheapest meat available. It's probably nice for sandwiches with bacon, molten cheese and some sauce to give it flavor. Indeed just like ham or bologna. Not really something to base a dinner on. Let alone serving a whole huge bird. I prefer quality over quantity.
In the Netherlands we had turkey dinners for christmas for a while too. Luckily it was a passing fad. We do seem to be stuck with the Coca Cola version of Sinterklaas though.
Anyway, the point was showing that besides people watching celebrities (or coming out to see the queen on her birthday) there are more silly traditions like baking a whole turkey on specific dates.
