 Topic: New Antilles? Posted: 18 Jan 2010 at 1:54am |
I heared that Netherlands Antilles will change their status - but I don't know anything more. They won't be under Netherlands or something. Vutje, do you know about it more?

Is this a recent change? I know that many of the islands wanted to leave Netherlands Antilles and setup shop similar to how Aruba is.

Cripes! This independence craze. All the West Indian islands broke away from England. Me, I like to have someone supporting me.

Your daughter will be safe. It's just this independent thing again. Everyone think they big man and woman now. They want to branch out, get their feet wet. They can stay there with that, pupa.  I want to be mollycuddled. No independence for me, pupa.

I'm not grown up, Citizen Eve. I'm still in my teens-young teens.

Yeah. That's the part I can't deal with - the responsibilities.
