duh they are all less facist than we are.

 

[Mr. Peepers]

Yeah, sounds about right... I would love to live in Switzerland. Beautiful country that cares about all of its citizens, not just the billionaires. We could learn a lot from them.

 

[Mr Natural]

duh they are all less facist than we are.

And more socialist.

 

[Oddball]

I'll help y'all pack!

 

[boedicca]

It's always wonderful to live in a major "world class" city with a lot of amenities if one has a lot of money.

 

[Political Junky]

I think it's funny that Forbes is primarily read by rich, mostly conservative readers, who pooh pooh other countries.

 

[boedicca]

You don't know much about Forbes readers.

 

[Oddball]

I don't hear them poo-pooing Switzerland much, seeing as a lot of their money probably lives there.

 

[Mr. Peepers]

It's always wonderful to live in a major "world class" city with a lot of amenities if one has a lot of money.

Switzerland has a generally prosperous citizenry. It is important to them that all of the citizens get the chance to be as successful as they can be.

Mr. Peepers, do you know anything about Swiss immigration laws? If an immigrant who is not a citizen applies for welfare payments, their renewal application for residency is denied and they're deported. They can and will deny residency renewals based on changes in the labor market. In other words, if the unemployment rate starts rising, they boot immigrants out of the country. The number of low-skilled workers allowed into the country is severly limited. The affluent and high-skilled, well-educated workers can get in at will. And you say they care nothing about money? Damn you're a fool.

If the US had such laws or proposed such laws you'd be clamoring about how xenophobic we all are. Idiot.

 

[Tom Clancy]

Yeah and Switzerland requires it's citizens to learn how to shoot a gun..

I'm guessing we should follow that too right?

 

[syrenn]

Well damn, i came in at 32!

 

[Oddball]

Yeah and Switzerland requires it's citizens to learn how to shoot a gun..

I'm guessing we should follow that too right?

Hell, they're issued guns and required to keep them in serviceable condition.

I don't think Mr.Peepers would approve of that.

Where in my post did I say they care nothing about money??? On the contrary, they actively strive to make sure ALL of its citizens are stable, prosperous and productive? So they kick out illegal immigrants? Every country does that. What is your point? You want to know who are the biggest supporters of not doing anything about the illegal immigration issue? Try chicken plants, hell all of the meat plants and big agra. They pay these people next to nothing and rake in billions in profits due to paying low wages and not paying for any benefits... YOU are a damn fool if you think otherwise.

Oh, and if you're implying that you can be illegal and get welfare here, you are wrong. You can't.

 

[Mr. Peepers]

I don't think Mr.Peepers would approve of that.

Why do you say that? Do I like guns? No, but I don't begrudge anyone the right to have one. I do think assault rifles should be banned.

 

[Mr Natural]

Yeah and Switzerland requires it's citizens to learn how to shoot a gun..

I'm guessing we should follow that too right?

Hell, they're issued guns and required to keep them in serviceable condition.

Free guns.

Sweet!
