oh boy, would you be surprised about NL and CH. you don't like the draft in the US, which never gets executed? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Switzerland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Switzerland "Compulsory military service concerns all male Swiss citizens, with women serving voluntarily. Males usually receive initial orders at the age of 18 for military conscription eligibility screening. About two-thirds of young Swiss men are found suitable for service, while alternative service exists for those found unsuitable." you cite rules about firearms and business as a downside in the US? the most hilarious thing ever. come over to Europe, please, and try to buy a handgun. plus open a business. no fucking clue about the world, but spewing BS. talk to leftist/liberals in the countries you've listed, please do. they all complain about the very same things. we have had biometric passports here for a while now, etc. the big difference between the US and Europe? The US has the means to actually execute their ideas. the EU is slowly moving towards the US model by joining forces and sharing resources.

I have seen more of the world than you would guess, and there is this FUD all over the place. I was on the fence about including Switzerland, but their banking law and gun law is much more sane than the US. The draft in the states was used in Vietnam. Opening a business in ALL of Europe is hard (especially France) but in most of the countries I listed it is easy. Stop grouping all of Europe into one big thing. Biometric passports are horrible, but the US requires it for certain forms of visitation.

  the draft was used in Vietnam, and since then? not like the US ran out of wars. what the hell are you trying to prove? and for the record, I am European, Austrian in fact. and the US is now requiring it's own citizens to use the biometric passport? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometric_passport#Countries_using_biometric_passports http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometric_passport#Countries_us... now how about that. "NL Passports issued from 21 September 2009 include fingerprints. Dutch identity cards are lookalike versions of the holder's page of the passport and contain the same biometric information." You're misinformed and wrong, but you'll never admit it. Whatever.
