If you've been to switzerland before, which I have, the one of the defining traits of their national culture is... silence. If you have been to one of their public libraries, or sat in one of their first class sections in their public transports, you will know what I mean.

Our libraries in comparison, is like a wet market (in the old days).

LOL given their current low birth rate prob I guess it would be a nightmare for them if they were to follow SG n start importing china nationals harharhar :biggrin:

The law is an ass – No matter what you want to do there will have been a time and place when it was legal and another time and place where it was illegal.

you know, us & europeans sent soldiers to middle east...and other muslim countries..

because of lack of understanding create havoc and caused untold sufferings to the muslim people....

they left their home countries and migrated to us & europeans..

later settle down and created a community of their own...

have their own mosques...etc...and blend with the "christians" europeans..and americans..

so that both cultures can get to live closer for a better understanding among themselves?

doesn't God works in mysterious ways? :smile:

What happens in Switzerland now on this issue could set the trend
in other European states. The next one could be Denmark where
the right wing politician Greet is rising fast in political popularity.

France is the first European Cuntry to BAN women wearing like a terrorist mask, only can see to eye ball...Ban ban!!
