    Swiss here. This will be defeated, I am completely certain. Almost all women will vote no, and some of the men too, especially the old ones.

    I think that is a good idea. It makes people recognize responsibilities rather than all “rights” all the time. There are no rights without responsibilities.

      I don’t think it’s a good idea. “Rights” have been demonstrated to be withheld from those not deemed worthy. They can, and will be taken away at the behest of those in power. If anyone needs to learn the value of responsibility, it’s corporations who profit from having great privilege. Those who dictate exactly what they want their responsibilities to be. We as simple peons don’t get to choose what rights we’re afforded, or what responsibilities we must uphold. For example, on a very basic level, citizens have the responsibility to at least pay tax on their earnings.
