Heh. Nice OP.

Lybia huh? How about that. Finally somewhere my New Zealand passport will take me that all your shmansy European passports won't.

Take that Europeans! European passports are worthless now.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

I suggest we the Europeans should ban incoming trespassers from New Zealand!!

Honestly my understanding of the country doesn't extend beyond playing as them in Red Alert 2, and the last time I checked that game was about as accurate as a blind fingerless pensioner. At least I can rest assured in the knowledge that should I ever want to, I can still visit there! Joy.

Psst, it's spelled Libya.
There is always an exception.

Sounds bad, Europe. You guys better cough up the $7.77 trillion, you don't want to piss off Libya.

You do realize that Switzerland is not in the EU, right?


Don't tell me, tell Gaddafi for banning all EU citizens, except British and Lithuanian. But on his list he includes Switzerland, Cyprus and Island -.-



Switzerland is part of the Schengen Zone... the Schengen treaties basically allow you to travel from one "Schengen" Country to another without passport, visa etc..
This also means if one of the Schengen Countries bans visa for another non-Schengen country, you are not allowed to travel to any of the Schengen Countries anymore.

So that's why Europe is screwed along with us :-)


As for the reason. Ghaddafi is still mad that Switzerland imprisoned his son for a couple of hours, after he beat up two of his servants in a hotel in Geneva two years ago.
After that he kidnapped two guys Swiss who happened to be in Lybia at that time- who are still held hostage. Then he started to stop Oil shipments (no one really cared)... then he asked the UN to split up Switzerland and give parts of the country to Germany, France and Italy...

And now this, it's just a stupid old guy who happens to be "president" of this country.

Pity, I really wanted to go to lybia, lol...

Then the next question arises: Why did he ban Bulgaria, Rumania and Cyprus, which are not in the Schengen Zone yet But he forgot Lithuania that is part of it...

This guy is such a badass anyway.Mad props for ranting for half an hour in front of the UN that Switzerland should be split up and issuing a serious proposal with an exact plan how to do it ^^

No, I meant more of kidnapping people and selling them as sex slaves in EU. Not sure if it is a problem or not, and if it is, I kind of doubt the government would do anything about it. And I doubt stopping visas would curb the practice.

I can't think of any other reason to ban europeans.

(The human trafficing I'm talking about is a big issue for eastern europe).
