Third day at home. No more fever today, but my nose still seems to contain more on the inside than one would have thought possible when looking at it from the outside.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I&amp;#x2019;m awake, I play a lot of Skyrim. Amazing how closely the weather seems to match the weather outside. Switzerland in winter… To be more precise, all the big cities are in the flat lands north of the &lt;a class="near" title="Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alps"&gt;Alps&lt;/a&gt; and south of the &lt;a class="near" title="Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jura_Mountains"&gt;Jura Mountains&lt;/a&gt; (a bunch of hills, we&amp;#x2019;d say). In winter, the sky is usually overcast. If you want to see the sun, you have to go up. We live under a leaden sky. In the cities, the snow melts quickly. Outside, patches of white on brown grass.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tags: &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=Life"&gt;Life&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/Life"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=Switzerland"&gt;Switzerland&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/Switzerland"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=Skyrim"&gt;Skyrim&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/Skyrim"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Swiss Xenophobia</title>
<link>http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2009-11-29_Swiss_Xenophobia</link>
<guid>http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2009-11-29_Swiss_Xenophobia</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;The stupid church bell rings at seven at night, at nine in the morning &amp;#x2013; I can&amp;#x2019;t sleep with the window open, I can&amp;#x2019;t talk with friends in the courtyard, I can&amp;#x2019;t walk past the church with my headphones on listening to music because of the noise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Sunday the Swiss accepted an initiative that runs counter to anything reasonable people would expect: Did they forbid the ringing of church bells? No. Did they stop the state church from getting their tithes via the state as part of ordinary tax payment? It&amp;#x2019;s true, if you belong to one of the state churches you have to opt out if you don&amp;#x2019;t want to pay church tax as part of your ordinary tax payment. The answer is &amp;#x201c;No&amp;#x201d; to both of these.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead, they voted to outlaw the construction of Minarets for fear of Islamification of the country. &lt;a class="url http number" href="http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/front/Minaret_ban_approved_early_results_show.html?siteSect=105&amp;amp;sid=11553929&amp;amp;cKey=1259504377000&amp;amp;ty=st"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="bracket"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;1&lt;span class="bracket"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yay for boneheads!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS: Also, the initiative to ban the export of weapons didn&amp;#x2019;t win, so we&amp;#x2019;re still allowed to sell weapons and continue the disgraceful charade of &amp;#x201c;not dealing with warring nations" &amp;#x2013; but only by behaving like dogs and being faster than Bush in declaring hostilities in Iraq over so as not to endanger a major sale of armoured personnel carriers. Blech!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tags: &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://www.emacswiki.org/alex?action=tag;id=Switzerland"&gt;Switzerland&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://www.emacswiki.org/alex?action=journal;full=1;search=tag:Switzerland"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.emacswiki.org/alex/pics/rss.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;The median salary in Switzerland is CHF 5823 per month. For &lt;em style="text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;"&gt;men&lt;/em&gt; it is CHF 6248 per month, for &lt;em style="text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;"&gt;women&lt;/em&gt; it is CHF 5040 per month. Apparently the gap has widened again for the first time since 1996. &lt;a class="url http number" href="http://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/portal/de/index/news/medienmitteilungen.Document.126992.pdf"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="bracket"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;1&lt;span class="bracket"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Median salary for top banking management now reached CHF 58333 &amp;#x2013; per month!)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CHF 1 is about USD 1 is about EUR 0.66 is about GBP 0.59 right now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tags: &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://www.emacswiki.org/alex?action=tag;id=Switzerland"&gt;Switzerland&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed für diesen Tag" rel="feed" href="http://www.emacswiki.org/alex?action=journal;full=1;search=tag:Switzerland"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.emacswiki.org/alex/pics/rss.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://www.emacswiki.org/alex?action=tag;id=Money"&gt;Money&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed für diesen Tag" rel="feed" href="http://www.emacswiki.org/alex?action=journal;full=1;search=tag:Money"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.emacswiki.org/alex/pics/rss.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Apparently the second highest pro-capita number, sadly.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Switzerland has &lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://www.admin.ch/ch/e/rs/514_511/a5.html"&gt;an act prohibiting the arms export&lt;/a&gt; (SR 514.511 Art. 5) if &amp;#x201c;the country of destination is involved in an internal or international armed conflict&amp;#x201d; (Abs. 2a) or &amp;#x201c;violates human rights in a systematic and serious manner&amp;#x201d; (Abs. 2b).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nevertheless, Switzerland earned CHF 19M by exporting arms to the United States, currently involved in an armed conflict in Afghanistan.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nevertheless, Switzerland earned CHF 62M by exporting arms to Germany, currently involved in an armed conflict in Afghanistan.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nevertheless, Switzerland earned CHF 34M by exporting arms to Saudia Arabia, not a model nation when it comes to human rights.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Related:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="local" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2005-08-04_Switzerland"&gt;2005-08-04 Switzerland&lt;/a&gt;, where I ranted about death-dealing Switzerland. I still remember Switzerland declaring peace in Iraq way ahead of the USA, in an embarassing attempt to justify the arms export to the United States.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Money corrupts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://www.gsoa.ch/themen/kriegsmaterial-exporte/"&gt;Banish arms exports&lt;/a&gt;.

<description>&lt;p&gt;People get worked up about pornography &amp;#x2013; the pictures, the corruption of our youth, the disgusting aspects of it, etc. What I hate, however, is that here in Switzerland a newspaper kiosk will have computer magazines and gaming magazines somewhere on knee level, and just above it, on eye level, naked women, quickies, anal offerings, and other interesting details. &lt;b&gt;Whenever I want to buy my beloved gaming magazine, I have to stare at porn.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I should add a picture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It reminds me of my Spam folders. Reading the subject lines is already an insult.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tags: &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=Porn"&gt;Porn&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/Porn"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=Switzerland"&gt;Switzerland&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/Switzerland"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Blocher has been replaced! &lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/front/Widmer_Schlumpf_accepts_cabinet_post.html?sid=8526077"&gt;Widmer-Schlumpf accepts cabinet post&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some positive developments at last.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blocher is the head of the People&amp;#x2019;s Party (&lt;abbr title="Schweizerische Volkspartei"&gt;SVP&lt;/abbr&gt;) &amp;#x2013; the one that has been involved in the Islamophobic activities criticized by the OSCE a few weeks ago. (&amp;#x2192;&amp;#x00a0;&lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/front/Result.html?sid=8421517"&gt;OSCE expert concerned by Swiss Islamophobia&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obviously removing an exponent does not cure the Swiss of Islamophobia, so I hope that his removal is but a symptom of a changing attitude. As they say, &amp;#x201c;hope dies last.&amp;#x201d;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tags: &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=Switzerland"&gt;Switzerland&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/Switzerland"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
