Wholeheartedly agree with what's been said and especially Swisstrains. I often watch the Swiss Railway Journeys on the Travel Channel and always remark to my wife 1, how clean everything is, 2, how well behaved people seem ot be, and 3, the complete lack of overt 'safety' measures and the utter lack of fencing everywhere.

This country has always been petty minded and stupid and I speak as an Englishman. The mass of the people are dumber than oxen in their daily lives and at times I am embarrassed to live here and call myself English.

I am sure lots of countries including Switzerland have just as many problems and socila ills as we do, but they seem to deal with them far better. There also seems to be in the rest of the world the normal reasoning to let life get on with itself, i,.e. if you stand on a live rail you get killed. It is obvious and normal, there is no need for fences, training, hi-vis, Police, etc. Natural selection will quickly weed out those who cannot comprehend such danger.

Sadly though, we stand in the way of such selection and they breed more imbeciles and so the stupidity cycle goes down. God help us!
