As a foreigner, bitching about the country's customs or laws is a bit off regardless, but integration is a two way thing.
I like Switzerland and have some Swiss friends, but it's majorly hard work. The Swiss barely integrate with each other! Someone from the next village is a foreigner - they talk funny.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Nein, nein, ve are Germanz! Not Nazi! :nazi::nazi::nazi:Although most of us have evolved beyond thinking we're defined by our national identity, it's still hard not to feel a little embarrassed to be British when you read that sort of thing.
