I don't agree with the title of the video, but the content is interesting.

1. Rather curious about economic desparities in Switzerland.
Because this doesn't really cut it as a "sole reason".

3. completely misleading.
Switzerland has the lowest crime rate in the world because it has different social values, and it enforces those values from the very first day of public education.

It also has very a strict immigration policy and a completely different standard of living than countries that have higher crime rates.

what a whacko assertion and poor attempt at propaganda.

5. This video says nothing about crime.
The Swiss guy doesn't say a word about crime.
He talks about not wanting to be marched off to death camps.

8. yeah because the swiss just sit around all paranoid and crap waiting for gangbangers to show up.
completely UNLIKE America. :sarcasm:

Also, as you can see, they don't keep these strapped over the fireplace next to the oil portraits of their ancestors. Also, with that firepower it doesn't matter who has it, just who shoots first, so even the argument is retarded.

Nothing to do with crime and everything to do with a compulsive respect for order.

7. I guess their "bravery" was trumped by hard reality when they opted to remain neutral in WW2!
They were neutral in WW1 also. The Swiss have pretty much avoided the certain devastation it would mean for it to be involved in warfare. Duh!

I have family members living in Switzerland. They do not see crime as a problem at all. So I wonder what to make of this weird video... :shrug:

10. I agree
That's why I posted it. It's an interesting video aside from the misleading title.

9. They also prevent tsunamis
Can't argue with it, a tsunami has never, ever, hit Switzerland. :silly:
