    I can't give much of an opinion on the Dutch personally, except it's a tiny bit of my ancestory. But, I've also got Scottish, Irish, English and German in there too.

    Speaking of the Dutch, did you know this?

    In Wisconsin a major hub for Dutch culture is in northeastern Wisconsin around the Green Bay metro.

    The use of the term "cheesehead" in America originated with Illinois sports fans, who used it to derogatorily describe Wisconsin sports fans. Cheesehead as a derogatory term has an older history in Europe, with German soldiers mocking Dutch people by calling them kaaskop, which translates to "cheese head". Kaaskop is now considered a profanity and is used to refer to someone as stupid or dense. Even with its derogatory history, the term was reappropriated and embraced by Wisconsinites, especially fans of the Packers.

    My ancestors all fought my other ancestors. Go figure.

    You got it.

    That was a quote from an Austin Powers film back in the day. Nigel Powers played by Michael Caine

    How dare anyone want to improve the country. What an A-hole.

    Depressed? Dead end job? Just kill yourself, why improve things?
