[citation][nom]the_krasno[/nom]What have the swedes against killing nazis, mutants and the Combine? This is preposterous![/citation]
"Swedes" are Swedish, guy. These would be Swiss. 😉
 
So basically they are forcing gamers to use pirated version of the games they want to play, because no one is up to the task of teaching people that what they see on a video game it's not the way to go in real life. (???)
Keep them dumb keep them controlled right?
 
[citation][nom]back_by_demand[/nom]So where were you when George W Bush was running the country for 8 years?[/citation]
Bush may have done things that were ill-conceived, but he was neither evil nor a socialist. The current president is not evil, but he is a socialist. The problem with socialism is that, sooner or later, you run out of other people's money. Fortunately, in this country, we can simply vote people out of office.
 
Perhaps the world should ban doctors and nurses? They after all are one of the worlds leading causes of death. It seems the socialist tyrannts running most countries want to play safety nazis and ban everything that might risk safety. Well doctors kill more people than handguns and video games, so lets ban doctors!!!
 
[citation][nom]Myrdek[/nom]The obligatory classes to own a dog are NOT only for dangerous dogs but for any first time owner. They call it "sensitization course"...I wonder how many people would avoid getting a dog because of all that extra hassle. Sure some violent owners would be a good thing, but many more decent ones would also be turned off. http://www.nowpublic.com/strange/e [...] s-dog-laws[/citation]
First time owners are the same people that will get tired of the dog after they find out what hassle it is to care for it, and then dump it at some animal shelter. If mandatory classes for owning a dog will turn some people off... then it's working as planned.
 
Keep in mind that Switzerland, on a per capita basis, is one of the most heavily armed countries in the world. Of course there's very little crime.

Everyone was a first time dog owner at one point.
 
[citation][nom]hundredislandsboy[/nom]I never did like Swiss cheese. All those holes made me feel like I was getting ripped off, not getting the entire package worth.[/citation]
In Switzerland we use the weight to sell the cheese, I think you retailer is ripping you off probably!
In Switzerland we have hundreds of kind of cheese and only a few have holes!
If you live in America probably the cheese you buy is not even Swiss (normally is a local country industrial cheese with holes that don't event taste like Emmental).
