Perhaps what many of us find so arrogant- that small word 'all'- I would have been quite happy with 'some'  | | | | |
I will agree with you there.. theres no way they ALL come from the US.. i would never argue that point. I would also say that many of these great people are so great because they are able to travel the world and broaden their horizons.. I know that was the case for me, seeing how big this world really is.. Its easy to become narrow-minded and jingoistic if you have spent your entire life only in your homeland.

I took it as a joke, I've only just picked myself up off the floor from laughing to reply. |

I'm also here 25+ years, but I've NEVER worked for a multinational nor in an English speaking environment here, and I've only worked with two native English speakers in that time (and briefly at that).

I guess that Switzerland is not so friendly to US citizens, after USA almost lead UBS to bankrupt ... So you can't opet UBS account if you have green card.
However, if you arrive from non-EU, some banks will decline your credit card application without any explanation.
