Cold in winter, yeah...but some reasons summers are actually quite hot. Hotter than in the UK that's for sure, but then again, I wouldn't call what we have in the UK "summer". Two weekends of hot weather isn't summer

Can't comment on women as every single GF I had since I was 17 was a foreigner...but I'm not racist against my own people btw.

As for guns, that's a bit of a misconception. Every able man has serve in the military and yes, you get a gun. Most people don't store it at home though, they leave it at the barracks. It's pretty...
Thanks for the information. Man I LOVE your country. When I get rich in FX I am coming to stay. GOOD BYE USA THE POLICE/NANNY/BIG BROTHER STATE.
Trade smaller than rational because the market is irrational...

ehmm... hmm... sounds great..can I immigrate to Switzerland? or are they going stick me up on a lamp pole?

yeah forgot the women.. they are all blonde and fat over here... and I mean FAT..
Not sure where you're from...but yeah, join the dark side

Got tons of mates from the US in Switzerland. Most came over for a "1-2 year contract" and then stay in the end...mostly because they get married and realise it's probably the best country in the world to raise kids. For example, you can send them to a university which is one of the best for science/engineering in the world (ETH) and it'll cost you a grand total of $800/semester.

There's downsides too though. The guys living outside the key cities are a bunch of rednecks. Those guys are duuuuuuuuumb to the point where arguing is pointless. Whenever we vote those are the idiots who vote "no" every single time without even reading the bills. Also, we vote on a ton of really dumb stuff...like "swimming pool renovations". I mean, I don't want the government to waste money...but for crying out loud, why do I have to deal with crap like that?

Zurich and Geneva rock though...and they're constantly getting better as more foreigners move there.

Best of all: Our pubs don't close at bloody 11pm

You're required to have a gun but they took away the bullets. For safety reasons. Apparently they didn't wanna let people commit suicide with them. Control freaks. They need to keep alive as many tax donkeys as possible no matter how they feel about it.
They don't take away all your bullets...they just think a couple are enough. I still have some somewhere in my basement. They know I have 'em though 'cause it's all registered.

What amazes me is that here in the UK I pay 30%+ in taxes...and then get less than back home where I'd payo between 14 and 21% depending on which canton I live in. When I was made redundant for the first time in the UK I went to their job centre thinking "no biggie, they'll pay me ok until I find a new job". They gave me £300 per week!!! IN LONDON!!! You can't live on that unless you live in a cardboard box. Did it anyway for 2 weeks (you have to show up and show your applications...and laugh at them proposing jobs as a "chef" just because you have "hotel school" in your resume) until I got so fed up I rather got no money than having to go through that crap.

I then went to the Mandarin Oriental in London thinking "f*** it, I'll just work there behind the bar for a month or two until I have a new job...that should pay enough" because I used to make $30/hr doing that back home. They offered me a bar job like I wanted but when she asked for my salary expectations she started laughing. I even cut it down to $20/hr...and then to $15/hr...the HR lady wouldn't stop laughing. Keep in mind I made even more ($48/hr) supervising other waiters while I was AT COLLEGE back home. Given the cost of living salaries are really messed up in the UK.

So are US women and they have attitudes. They expect to be treated like a lady and you buy everything as they take all from a man and want to continually bust his balls. So much for the feminist movement.

I would take a fat submissive woman over a thin b**ch 7 days a week and twice on Sunday.

You have excellent examples there. And then you turn around and argue with me that those places aren't going to hell soon. I have no clue when but I think it's a given England, France at least will join the PIIGS along with the US in the not too distant future. By your own example they're not terribly far from the bottom of the barrel now, only recently they almost burned down London rioting. Give it a few more years of stagnant wages and 5-10% inflation per year- that's all it's gonna take. And there's no way they'll be able to stick any fat cats with the bill.

Switzerland- yeah it's in a much better position to survive the storm provided they manage to protect their money laundering business as well as possible.

About the bullets- my cousin told me they took his bullets, he only had the empty rifle and even when he had them they were sealed and you weren't supposed to use them duck hunting. :|

The problem in the UK and France isn't that those "socialist" measures don't work...they're just implemented in a really horrible way. That's what I mean when I say you can't look at the world as "black or white". You can't say "socialism is bad" or "capitalism is bad" because they are mere economic theories. Implementation is key, and often the right MIX is the best strategy if implemented correctly.

You complained about high income taxes in Scandinavian countries for example...but you need to look at what people get in return, because if you do, you realise it's actually worth it. It's worth it because it's IMPLEMENTED in a good way.

As for hunting with army rifles...we use Sig 550s, you'd look like an idiot hunting with that. You can buy a hunting rifle no problem if you want. Ammunition is sealed, yes...and most people don't keep any ammunition at home (I just do because I left the country before they implemented that rule). The key reason we have less gun crime though is because people have less reason to shoot people...we have almost no poverty and look after people who might otherwise freak out (like drug addicts). If you pay taxes in Switzerland you pay for an addicts heroin for example, which sounds outrageous...until you realise this A) helps addicts to quit eventually as they have to join programs, and B) drastically lowers burglary rates (because those addicts now won't have to steal for money anymore). They also get to stay for free at shelters (that aren't overfilled every other day!) that resemble hotel rooms (TV, Internet, etc.). Like I said...socialism

Yeah- good implementation: wage earners foot the bill and the business environment is free seems to be the only even remotely working recipe.

Besides any other mismanagement the British also let all kinds of immigrants in. I guess they wanna entertain her majesty with third world machete-wielding mobs fighting each other in front of her palace on the background of a re-enactment of the great fire of London of 1666.

I mostly agree with you, but there is one big problem.

It is nice for Europeans to have far more balanced and less aggressive/stressed societies. However, since we live in the global market this level of restrictions on business (environmental, labor, etc.) while necessary, make the western economies less and less competitive against emerging markets where corporations are free to fully exploit the people and the environment.
This standard of living is simply not sustainable without trade wars with China and India - which aren't possible at all due to WTO agreements.
The emerging markets will have to go through 2-3 generations before their middle class will demand the same harmony in society as Europeans enjoy. Unfortunately neither the european economies nor the natural resources can still be around at that time.

Bingo. The situation you listed explains exactly why all the western central banks are obsessed with trashing their currency. They must drop wages in real terms as fast as possible. Enjoy your horse-meat lasagna, watered down beer and smaller cereal boxes to keep prices down.

The point is, they have TOOOONS of regulations in Switzerland. For example, our environmental regulations are so tough the EU is giving us a hard time for not lowering them. Yet somehow certain (polluting) industries still use the country as a base...take the pharma industry in Basel for example. Regulations are tougher than just 5km to the north (Germany or France), yet despite those regulations they stay...and no, corporate taxes aren't really lower

I also don't think foreigners are the key issue. Look at Singapore for example, 42%+ are foreigners...yet economically they're crushing the rest. In Switzerland we're at 23%...double than in the US...or almost 3 times that in the UK. If anything foreigners were a key driver of economic growth in the US last century. Again, it depends on how you manage things more so than what economic theory you subscribe to.
