to swiss

ya, Canada gives you that right. Canada also employs tactics devised to prevent anyone from having to go on welfare (social assistance). for example, free bus passes and tickets so that you can at least travel for free while you look for a job. Food banks and food vouchers so you can eat, subsidized housing so you can have a roof over your head. And while there are some aspects of this in Switzerland, it is not nearly to the same extent. And i know what im talking about because i went to the gemeinde, to a social worker and to the migrations amt.

oh by the way, in canada you can get business grants, so you can even start a business. So im not saying that Switzerland has NOTHING to offer, im saying that there are very few options for people, and social assistance is denied to many regardless of their circumstances.

As far as the generalizations regarding racism, thats what people do. When you meet 6 racist people out of 10, you generalize that the whole group has a majority of racist people. I know that not all people are racist, and not against all races, some ônly against certain nations, but when someone tells me i better change my name because it sounds too jugo, and that ill never get a job because of that, and because i have scars on my arms from the operations, thats not only racist, thats prejudice. There are a few swiss people who dont think that way, and i hope that those few people will break the mold......

even if it takes a gay polak to change te mind for the swiss!

get a grip swiss people, we are not all saying you are totally shit. Change your perceptions, beciome more aware, and take it as constructive critiscm.
