You arent alowed to pee anywere outside ‘cept when you are a child, pregnant or an old man. This is because those people cant hold it. You’re not allowed because of the chances on spreading deceases.

they have public urinals all through out the city and they are out in the open and are like a portable toilet with no doors so everyone can see you so thats not really true.
it is not legal to smoke pot in the netherlands it is tollerated. you may buy it but it is illegal to grow pot in mass. so how do the coffee shops get their weed…its illegal but left alone unless you are caught growing pot.
it is also a fact that in the netherlands if someone is tring to attack you or enters ur home and tries to hurt you if you hurt them first you are the one that gets sent to jail even if they broke into your home or tried to rape you.

and prostitues have a hand book.
