Nathan you don't need to lecture me about Europe, I was born there and
have probably visited thirty or more times in my 45 years. One of my
favorite brit sayings is "fuck off mate" Unfortunately or maybe
fortunately I haven't had the pleasure of visiting Switzerland but if
your attitude is common among the Swiss, I'll pass.

What is "Europe"? Do you mean Switzerland, or Denmark, or Greece?
Because
there are huge differences--Europe consists of different countries, FYI,
with vastly different cultures and vastly different probabilities of
having
your pocket picked. Hell, people even speak different languages here,
imagine that!

Statements like the one below make me think of Chevy Chase's "European
Vacation" movies.
