All words and no actions.

Everyone here gives examples, good and bad. Defending their sides like some weird brain washed person because they don't know anything better.

To the swiss people in the forum:

Swiss keep insulting anti-swiss because they are saying there are problems in their country. Swiss posting on this forum don't want to show a little of common sense and say, yeah we have a problem let's do something about it. If you want to show swiss pride, show that you have higher IQ than a racoon (chose a random animal) and that swiss are capable of recognizing that there are problems in their country. Face it, nothing is perfect and it will never be perfect. But YOU, the one posting can make the difference of making a better switzerland. You are the ones that can do something about. One thing that life has tought me is that if people say something is for a reason. Think about what the things you hear from this persons that are anti-swiss and investigate on your own, is it true that things like that are happening in my country? Can I do something to solve them? Where can I halp? If you want to live by the swiss pride, at least do it the swiss way, the correct way. The good and average swiss will listen, the good swiss will evaluate the situation, the good swiss will solve the problem. Also remember if people complain it's because there's some truth to it.

To the anti-swiss people in the forum:

Yeah, sadly cou can get bad experiences in switzerland, just like in any other place of the country. If you attack the home of an animal, this animal will defent it the best they can. Bees will leave their hive to and sting people who disturb their colony. Instead of bashing switzerland in a horrible matter. Try to reason with swiss people, I bet you can find at least one or two persons that will reason with your problems and will guide you and even help you on how to handle things. Bashing through examples and making a good country look bad might not be the best way to act. This will just get the swiss persons more defensive, and like a bee, sting whoever says something bad.

To all the internet kiddies:

Yeah internet is a wonderful thing. Anonymous persons can say what they want and nobody will judge them. If you lack the vocabulary to take part on a decent semi-constructive discussion, the internet is very helpful on finding better suited words to express yourself. It will also give the impression that what you are saying was well thought. Stop using the comic-like language. It is respect towards others, and it is respect towards yourself. Everyone has their own mind and as such it should be listened and respected. Switzerland is a democracy where you have freedom of speech. Make honor to that right you have. Most of the western countries rely on this principle too and I think most are aware that freedom of speech is say and share the ideas you have in the proper manner. Freedom of speech is the right to defend your ideas in a way that doesn't insult others, doesn't bash others, doesn't treat others like trash.

To everyone in the forum and posting here:

Inform yourself about both sides, not just the stereotypical "post card" or "blick article". It's in the human nature to be curious, to know why things are like that and understand them. There are NGO's, Goverment Institutions, your local library, the salvation army, hotel resorts, parties, shops. Pick random people from the ones that buy pickles at the Globus to the ones that are shopping at the local Caritas shop. If you find injustice, inform the right authorities (Police and Lawyers is a good way to start, not all of them are as bad as they are shown). If you find poverty go to the Sozialamt. If you find someone abusing of the Sozialamt report it to the Sozialamt directors, they will make sure to handle this problem in the propoer way. If you tolerate injustice you are as bad as someone who is commiting a crime.

Well guess I ran out of juice. Good luck in the future. Good luck on solving your differences and that it may bring you peace.
