Just kidding, as I can't take your comparison seriously.
No, no nightmares matey, donīt worry.
Sorry to break the news to you that Switzerland does not qualify as a "western world civilisation."
The way most foreigners were treated in Switzerland after 9-11 is
not very similar to what you described as " in "our" sphere of influence, also the "lowest" foreign worker has his rights which are guaranteed, regardless whether he is arguing against a local or even a governmental position."
Foreign (non-EU) pilots were simply kicked out of Switzerland (given 3 months on a tourist visa to pack their bags) with a small tip that didnīt even cover their moving expenses back to the other side of the world.
"This case is an obvious sign of how society works there. It's not about giving respect, it's about to show whos country it is and who has to shut up." Yep, absolutely true what you said about the UAE, but unfortunately also very true for Switzerland!
Geographically Switzerland is in the middle of Europe, legally itīs a Banana Republic not even worthy of joining the EU!
You see, I wouldnīt even have replied to this thread if it hadnīt been for your typically arrogant Swiss post, thinking that Switzerland is Godīs gift to "civilisation."
