Swiss Pride aka Hidden Nationalist

• Gosh. Well, I was interested in your retort to my post, and in fact, was in agreement with you regarding different ways for different folks ref. eating (I still think that people who invite others to dinner should provide for them, or don't invite them - especially if you are loaded like my hosts tend to be! And yes, I dislike things about my own country like the appalling rubbish on public transport and I'm ALLOWED TO SAY SO in media, to politicians, to neighbours, without retribution or racist bigotry).
  
  And then you blew it with your name-calling (fat! spoiled!) and resurgence of nationalism since we are so stupid and arrogant as to tell lies about Switzerland! How dare we not gild the nation!! And the army!! What a joke that institution is! Would you have gone to the army had not you been forced too by the system? I'm sure, not.
  
  You just don't get it, do you.
  
  The intellectual debate has left this forum. We come back to the same points. Non-Swissies say, we are finding it hard here and Swissies say, you don't like it then fXck off. Open and shut. I really wanted to find shades of positivity from Swiss people who whilst having an open mind to opinions of non-Swiss, could help to further explain the mentality of the country. Thanks for a fascinating read and for taking time to note my thoughts on living here. I look forward to the invasion and revolution of free-thinkers!
