Why is he even allowed to compete?

Technically, he is correct.

He is not 'a pedophile' - rather, he is a convicted pedophile.
Same as brock allan turner, who is not 'a rapist' - he is a convicted rapist.

But money talks .. apparently in the netherlands too.

[u/-_SZN_- → u/SamuelVimesTrained]

Money talks in every corner of the world

[u/ElizabethDangit → u/SamuelVimesTrained]

Natalie Holloway can never enter the chat because of a rich Dutch man.

Van der Sloot got his in prison, though. Finally.

[u/SamuelVimesTrained → u/m00s3wrangl3r]

Yep.
And apparently his "power" was not as large as he thought..
Sadly the beep murdered another girl before he got caught :(

[u/KeneticKups → u/SamuelVimesTrained]

Everywhere in the capitalist world

not to mention liberal hand wringers who feel you can just apologize for any crime and it's ok

[u/SamuelVimesTrained → u/KeneticKups]

Well.. the money talking is (convicted rapist brock allan turner) not just liberal… capitalism more to the point.

[u/Koil_ting → u/SamuelVimesTrained]

If it wasn't money it could be influence or power,

As a liberal moderate, I'm all for people apologizing for their mistakes but, dues must be paid. A sincere apology is the start, doing your time for the crime is the next part.

[u/KeneticKups → u/Gumwars]

There is no time for its crime

Dutch is Belgium, just so you know

[u/saum87 → u/Mr_Jojo-4815162342-]

No it’s not. Some people in Belgium speak Dutch but if something says someone is Dutch they are from the Netherlands.

[u/keepcalmscrollon → u/Mr_Jojo-4815162342-]

Dutch is Belgium, just so you know

¿Que?

[u/SamuelVimesTrained → u/Mr_Jojo-4815162342-]

Damn.. so Belgium is just as corrupt now..
That`s sad.

[u/Mr_Jojo-4815162342- → u/SamuelVimesTrained]

Apparently Dutch is only for the spoken language, sorry for the false info. But yeah, Belgium is not so different from the rest of Europe, unfortunately…

[u/DerTolleMann → u/Mr_Jojo-4815162342-]

No? It is also the word for people from the Netherlands?

[u/SamuelVimesTrained → u/DerTolleMann]

People from The Netherlands are indeed (in English) called Dutch. (no clue why - English is weird).
Netherlanders, or Hollanders might be better - but hey.. English is weird.

[u/SamuelVimesTrained → u/Mr_Jojo-4815162342-]

My Belgian colleague begs to differ .. it`s 'Flemish'
(aka Dutch-with-an-accent and some quirky words) :)

[u/Mr_Jojo-4815162342- → u/SamuelVimesTrained]

Yep, my girlfriend is from Belgium and she told me the same. Flemish and Walloon (they speak mostly French) are also the words which refer to Belgian people (north and south respectively). One of the most confusing countries in Europe lol

[u/ZealousidealPain7976 → u/Mr_Jojo-4815162342-]

Flanders is the Dutch they speak in Belgium and the country is divided by French and Flemish people.

[u/Longjumping_Area_307 → u/Mr_Jojo-4815162342-]

Hell no.
