For the first time Shoemoney is heading the competition. I was thinking that maybe he was just waiting for the last days, but instead he started to work at it now. Maybe he was just waiting to speak about it with Dllsmack.

Hi Maurizio -
Did you see Daniel’s post about his other website getting a lot of subscribers?
http://www.dailyblogtips.com/daily-writing-tips-reaches-3000-rss-subscribers/
Do you already subscribe to his Daily Writing Tips?
I thought about sending this to you because Daniel said he’s learning English as well and that site is really popular.
Anyway, what’s up with all that crazy stuff going on in Switzerland?
I saw on the news that political party that has the three white sheep kicking out the black sheep, talking about safety.
Crazy, huh?
Happy Friday,
Paula

Hello Paula, I’ll give a look at that website. Actually I already have it on my bookmark list.
Lol don’t worry about that stuff..this week swiss citizen have to vote, that’s why you hear this kind of crazy stuff. Anyway I’ll answer you on the blog because everyone has to know what is happening.
I’ll tell you the fact first and then who those people are, so you will not get confused.
There are an old saying about being a black sheep which means being somehow the bad guy. I’ve found something on Wikipedia but it’s not that precise. Anyway it is (or was) common to say “he is the black sheep” meaning the worst of the group or whatever is considere bad (it could be as simple as being the annoying child on a school or an assassin on a family of well behaved persons). This saying is century old and has nothing to do with skin color. Read wikipedia and you’ll get an idea. Having said that, the idea of that was that we need to something about those black sheep. The manifest is speaking about “foreign black sheep” and is based on the fact that there are some (or maybe a lot) of foreign people in swiss prisons. The idea was to send those people out of Switzerland.
I don’t know how it works in USA, but if you have a mexican robber in your country would you prefer to having him in your prisons or is it better to send him back to his country? The point is probably that swiss laws aren’t that good and that “black sheep” will probably get out of prison soon and start again behave badly.So it’s better to send him back to his country and blocking him from coming back here.
That was their idea. I think it’s not that unreasonable.If foreign people isn’t able to behave here, it’s better to send them back to their country. Of course it’s not about people getting drunk&driving or something not that bad; it’s about burglary or killing (probably even drug things too).
The political party is a right wing party (consider them Republicans in US terms).
The big craziness about the whole thing is that the left parties started to “shoot” at them saying that they are racist because of the “black” sheep. Exactly as you thought.
When I hear those leftist saying those stuff I get sad. I don’t want to say a single word about poltical stuff of both wings, It’s not the problem here. The problem is that the leftist are using a shameful attempt to make that sheep thing a racist thing.
(If some swiss guy will read this, he/she will probably say that that right wing party is racist, but again I am not speaking about that.)
Just one last thought. Sending back criminal to their home countries is considered racist? I think not. Maybe Xenophobe, but again I’m not sure. Everyone doesn’t lake to have bad people around, if they are foreigners you can send them away, if they are swiss what should you do? Your country kills them..
Oh I’m getting too political..let’s go back to play some games :)
