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_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.
