What would be considered insulting for a Swiss resident?

Seems to me that "everything" we hear about Switzerland and its people is that everyone is polite, proper, nice, beautiful county, peaceful, on and on and on.... I can easily determine what would be insulting for people of different cultures such as Italians, Jewish, Polish etc. but for Swiss people??? What would be insulting to say to a Swiss man? a Swiss woman? Swiss people in general? Just curious!

Many examples :
- " During wars, you are always neutral, even during WW2, while whole Europe was attacked by the Nazis...Why didn't you help the French and the Americans? Are you pacifist, or are you actually just cowards?"
- " Don't you find it a bit hypocrit to argue about your wealthy economy and your safe banks, since the anonymous bank accounts (just numbers, and NO identity papers asked) help the criminals,the mafias and the african dictators to hide the money they robbed ? "
- " You speak german,french,italian...Does that mean you don't have your own identity? Does " swiss culture" really exists, anyway? "
- "Your chocolates are excellent, but you imported all the cacao from Africa and South America "
- " A lot of Nazis hide in Switzerland under a fake identity, before escaping to South America"
- " You have nice jewels, but were did you buy the diamonds? From Mobutu, Bongo and Mugabe?"
- " Your watches are excellent...Are you really sure? I prefer japanese technology, no offense"
- " Why do you have this "nasal" accent when you speak in german? That's not very elegant, you know..."
- "Why your TV channels always copy the french TV programs? "

ps : And this special one for my dear friend 1stLady09 :
" Why you, the Swiss guys, always "steal " the beautiful ladies on the internet and on Yahoo Answers, while cool guys like me remain single ? What the hell qualities have you that we Belgians don't have? Why? Why? "
lol ;))


1st Lady09
The first two guys are right I never asked my fiance how much he made cause I did not care he told me anyway lol. Don't ever call them by their first name unless you have known them many years I did not know that until 6 months of dating my fiance lol I apologized like a million times. Never ask them how much german they have in them that is rude. Also never ask them what they did with the jews money never I mean never ask them that! Never and I mean never throw paper on the ground unless you want to be executed on the spot!

First and one question an American (which I believe you are) would ask after getting to know what the name and profession of his acquaintance is: "And how much do you make...?" Never, but never ask a Swiss about his salary before you really are his close friend!

" Why do you Swiss are so racist towards Turks? Do you remember what you did to Gypsies?"

Mr Einstein is right. It was my first thought when I saw your question.
