#1 Nah - they didn't protest because those numbered accounts might disappear if they upset the wrong folks...

#2 Wrong- the Swiss are not open-minded, they have contempt for outsiders which is natural when you see the invaders (not only Muslims, but gypsies from Romania and others from the Balkans) roll into town and don't assimilate.

#3 Assimilation is difficult, learning to speak Swiss...very, very challenging.

#5 My point exactly, and soft jab at Barry's comment with regard to the Austrian language.

#6 Besoeker was just making a cheesy joke, lotp.

As for the "it was a protest without noise or controversy or attacks. ", give 'em time. Haven't seen an over-under on the projected protest death toll, but I'm going with five.

#7 Yes, I know.

Apparently my dry agreement wasn't obvious.

#8 Actually, it was. I just needed a hook to hang my Swiss cheese reference on. Poor impulse control - what can I say?
