I actually agree with some of your post. But i feel YOU where the one looking down your nose at my country, with the the statment you made. hencemy defence. And that question of yours is so typical. Your hate for my country smells more like envy.

I didn’t mean to be offensive at all. So let see if we can sort this out.
If you correctly read my post, you’ll see the sentence with “somewhere in between” in it, which means that neither Europeans nor Americans are either right or wrong. I also mention that what I wrote was only my opinion. Which means anyone can agree or disagree with it. No attack there.
Now, what does war have to do with the nudity issue ?????
Besides, you should take a look at your History papers. You’ll see that not only is Switzerland a neutral country, already was back then, therefore didn’t and still doesn’t fight, but also is the country a lot of leaders, including yours, of this world come to in order to peacefully talk about their sensitive issues.
It would also be a good idea to check a bit more about my country in order to find out that we have 4 national languages, one of them being…German lolllll (which isn’t mine by the way)
To answer your question : Am I proud to be from Switzerland? Not necessarily. Like in every country I’ve seen, there are good things and not so good things. I’m simply a child of the world! And I look at what people have inside of them, not at their passports. Which brings me to the last thing I want to say, or rather ask :
Do you have a problem with “non-american” people? I’m asking this question because it seems that you expect them to eternally bow before you (see the old war thing you wrote) without any right to express themselves, as if they were sub-humans ….isn’t that offensive ?
But as I don't hold a grudge : have a nice day!
PS : my apologies to everyone for the possible spelling and grammatical mistakes….please remember that English is NOT my first language

And I honestly think that to be "somewhere in Between" would do a lot of good to everyone. But this is only my opinion of course. As for the irritation going on in this thread at the moment, I think it's a lot of wind for nothing... is there anyone here who doesn't know what a body looks like ??? Furthermore, as it's already been said : if we don't like a topic, we simply stay out of it. No-go-no-fuss ...
