Amsterdam invests millions to clean up the Red Light district

First of all, it is important to recognize the tremendous good these industries (both legalized prostitution and marijuana) have done for the Dutch economy. The United States, along with many other countries, could really learn a thing or two from Holland's example.
Second of all, I completely agree with Maique's comment. By definition, "sordid" means: "marked by baseness or grossness : vile" (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sordid). None of those accurately describe the Netherlands at all. Holland has some of the most beautiful scenery in the whole world. It is absolutely unfair and out of line to refer to the Netherlands as "sordid".
Thirdly, I think it's extremely important for you to check your spelling and grammar before you start bashing an entire nation.
