"Ms Holten, who describes herself as a freelance journalist, model and drama student," Yeah, sounds about right.....
Pholman
She looks annoying.

We don't judge based on looks. We judge based on insurance, gold and political views.

I recognize this, but I don't know where it is from. Sauce?

This news is so old, her 30 year old grand daughter was just denied as well.
MrRandom314159
because she wouldn't shut up about the story, and why she was applying.
ErkTheJrk
Imagine looking at yourself in the mirror knowing that an entire town said "We don't want you anymore." Beautiful devastation.

As a Dutch person living in the Netherlands: please take her off our hands?
RabidEmu
One might say they didn't Gipf a fuck
eroso
Funny how her diet is the only factor to be mentioned when this person is introduced. Must be pretty loud with her veganism.
eroso
Yup, checks out. Super loud veganism and animal rights activist. She campaigned against use of cow bells
eroso
The resident’s committee argued that if she does not accept Swiss traditions and the Swiss way of life, she should not be able to.. Blaablaa
willconltd
... being born in the country does not give the children or even the grandchildren of immigrants the automatic right to be Swiss.

I didn't even know it was possible to be that annoying

Ever heard the joke about how to know if you’re talk to a vegan or a cross fitter? They’ll tell you.

I bet it has little to do with being vegan, and that, if anything she's only vegan to be MORE annoying and holier than though #Notallvegans

On the Fran Drescher scale, she got a 11/7.
MrDeadsr
She's a vegan and wears a cow bell

More cow bell!

In this case, perhaps less.

As a dutchman, I’m sorry about her

+1 for more cow bell

Look at that big bell around her neck! Of course she is annoying.

That's just to warn people so they can run before she starts being preachy.

She's a cow

asianmilkspray
Who else wear bells the size of bull bollocks on their neck.
WeaponizedJerk
She was campaigning against bells on cows for reasons. Locals got pissed at her trying to change their traditions. Locals said FU
Travis51
D...Does the cowbell hurt them in some way? Or is this another "Humans don't wear bells, neither should animals."
MrPickins
She says “The animals carry around five kilograms around their neck. It causes friction and burns to their skin.” sounds like BS 1/2
Zet741
5 kg... They are fucking cows they dgaf 5kg on their neck. 100% bullshit. I am also now annoyed.
MrPickins
Cows are not cheap, and the farmers are not going to risk injuring them with something too heavy. 2/2

That Switzerland...they're okay, y'know?
ihaveaprettylargeamountofnothing
thank you

I'm trying to figure out why someone downvoted...because I don't hate Switzerland? Oh, it must've been a vegan! An annoying one, too.

Pretty much any government official over the position of "city councillor". Y'all can GTFO.

That 25% are already citizens though. Denying them passports means they can’t leave.

Is this is a trump reference. I feel like this is a reference to the bufoons who elected him

When someone calls a group of people buffoons but can't spell it correctly or use punctuation.

Does the U.S. have lots of vegans? Which states and the worst infected?

I think that is the population of us hispanics...

Yeah I'm looking at the popular vote numbers from the last election and thinking about roughly 63 million people.

Wow. Good 'ole "deplorables" rears it's hypocritical head again.

Trump voter here, glad ill be able to vote for hin again in 2020.
DuggFunnie
I'd guess that number is around zero
thisguyonline1988
2/2 they hate this vegan so much, they outright would rather risk separating a family than keep her in their neighborhood.
MacClay
Unless there's been developments since this happened, she's allowed to live there just fine, she just can't become a full citizen.
thisguyonline1988
Well, that's nice. Her neighbors must love hearing that lol. I used to know an animal rights activist that just couldn't
thisguyonline1988
Live with the idea of not letting her roommates know how terrible it was to eat animals. She was none too nice about it either
ShibeDogeBork
Why do so many vegans act like this?
JamBarn
Same reason Pro life ppl do. They believe they’re correcting a great wrong. Course I don’t agree with either group.
ShibeDogeBork
Neither do I, other people's business is just that. Other people's business.
InaneOctopus
What do you mean so many? I see a lot of vegan hate but never experience rude vegans. I work in a restaurant, even!
ShibeDogeBork
It just seems like a thing. But in any group the craziest are the loudest and paint a bad picture. So, I see your point.
eroso
Well if you think its wrong to eat eg. dogs, you'd likely want other people to not eat dogs too. Multiply that view with all animals.
ShibeDogeBork
But we can't force others do have our same morals and ethics. Gotta respect personal freedom.
ShibeDogeBork
Within reason.*
eroso
You gotta also fight against evil. People just have different morals, and by so different battles.
CRDMnster
can we do that to the logan paul and jake paul, better yet the paul family
LurkerMcLurkface
She got the passport a few months after this story became public.
ObiWanShalomi
Tnx Lurker. Now am informed.
BatmanAndCradleRobin
not once have I met an annoying vegan, but everyone else will never shut up about them.
KaiserGSaw
you should meet her then, problem solved.

No matter what side of the fence you're on with an issue you this, you've gotta give it to the swiss for their brutal honesty. 1/2

just throw stones at the others. like hobbits

All the things i hate! (ok i am neutral about pepsi, but i don't drink soda)

Seems like they would give her the passport then to get rid of her

I'm Swiss and this is so damn true. Everyone is annoying, everyone is suspect, everyone talks too much.

not to mention Jews, especially Holocaust victims' families who want their fortunes back!

Argument invalid, Jew here. We have a have a large population of Ashkenazi Jews who's grandparents escaped in the 20s/30s.

Nope, we love us.

How do the local residents have any say in whether she is issued a passport??
optillamanis
Most people don't believe in freedom.
ihaveaprettylargeamountofnothing
if you collect enough signatures from people you can have a say in anything. afaik we are the only country with actual direct democracy
eroso
It seemed like this person was super loud (possibly a famous activist) and known not to honor Swiss traditions.
Csel
its a small country, and they are very protective on who they let in.
awesomelepossum
In Switzerland, just because you are born there doesn't reserve the right to a passport. By law your community must approve your application
FitzroySpark
Seriously, it's community based? OK, I'm hitting the Google to find out more -back in 3 weeks I guess
awesomelepossum
Good luck on your rabbit hole adventure!
Swissyswissswiss
The community approves your application. Source: trying to become Swiss
WeaponizedJerk
Switzerland is an actual democracy.
NapkinBob
Just seems super inefficient.
WeaponizedJerk
Well it's a FAR smaller country than the US, so it actually works over there.
NaughtButOne
Tyranny is efficient. Democracy, by definition, suffers inverse efficiency according to the number of participants.
MacClay
It is for most people. Fortunately, this is the Swiss.

I remember reading somewhere that this woman is like a metric fuckton of an annoyance.

She wanted to try and ban cows wearing cowbells

Yeah, we don't like that here. Be a decent human or fuck off.

Hearing about decency from the country protecting wealth for the worlds worst monsters, from the Nazis to Sani Abacha, is damn hypocritical.

Exactly. We'll even take money from dictators. But we won't give it back or allow them to visit.

Any tips for getting some of that sweet sweet dictator money? Or nazi gold or whatever, I'm not picky.
