Thanks Swiss Lady

• You're right, of course. Language does not completely signify culture. It helps you to integrate though, but funnily enough, it doesn't help in German-speaking Switzerland, as by your accent they know you are foreign and therefore not worthy, except of a sneer, or a sniff of contempt. The issues are mentality and the human side of the nation. And anyway, this is an ENGLISH forum for debate and self-expression, not slander and attack in a spiteful juvenile way.
  
  What is this deal with passports, anyway! Who wants a Swiss passport? You can't even get one if you are third generation born here! How's that for integration! In fact, when I commute, I can only now look sadly, and in general, at those in the Swiss queue at customs. I'm now more aware of how they must behave and live to have the honour of owning one. My overview of their intrinsic beliefs and the stifling community in which they live, happy to be mainstream, conventional superior sheep, not daring to question the status quo, and deriding all those who dare lift the lid of enquiry.
  
  And sadly, as exposed by this forum topic, it does not get better with younger people. Apart from a handful of Swiss thinking few (thank you for standing up and being counted), the majority of pro-Swiss here show what bad ambassadors they are for their nation. The future of Switzerland lies within these forums - and what a disappointment.
