`So you are a soldier. Now we know why you have so much time to chat.´
i was as a young man, like every single male Swiss citizen
`I guess you are of german extraction and catholic ?´
what do you mean by German extraction?
64% of the Swiss population are native German speakers - http://un2sg4.unige.ch/athena/helvetia/ch_lang.html
yes, i am a Roman Catholic - like 60% of American christians
`Does the pope discriminate against some religions by not accepting protestant soldiers into the guardian movement ?´
since the Holy Father is the spiritual head of the Roman Catholic church and the secular head of the Holy See/Vatican State, i wouldn´t call it discrimination. the rules are quite clear: a Swiss Guardian must be Swiss and Roman Catholic.
there is no such thing as a `guardian movement´. the Swiss guard is and has been an ordinary army and personal lifeguard of the Holy Father for the past 498 years.
`And what about a good muslim person like Fairalways for example if he happened to be swiss and qualified otherwise) ?´
see above: even if he happened to be a good American Roman Catholic he wouldn´t qualify
`So are those guardians characteristic of the ordinary everyday swiss people ?´
absolutely - it is a great honour to be admitted to the Swiss guard
`Anyway, coming back to the most important point, you haven't as yet really addressed my question whether your parents, grand parents etc had anything to do with the decisions to destroy bank records so as to defraud and rob.´
no member of my family [active in farming/agriculture/food production for 16 generations] has ever destroyed any bank records so as to defraud and rob
`If not, how do you see that kind of action ?´
i haven´t seen anything of the kind yet
`Do you think that the swiss population as a whole bears responsibility for such vile acts ?´
certainly not - criminal acts are always committed by individuals or associations of individuals, never by whole populations.
