Exactly

• I agree. It is not only a "swiss" problem, but a global one. I merely stated an opinion and used some actual arguments that support my opinion. The reason I have pointed out that the Swiss have a strong tendency towards such values is because I happen to encounter it every day in, yes, Switzerland. There are has been countless amount of research on the current development of the same attitudes becoming more and more dominant worldwide and Switzerland is simply a prime example. My home country, Ireland, is unfortunately heading in the same direction. I think it is merely a matter of time before mankind realises it's heading in the wrong direction and it needs to be pointed out in public for a change in direction to occur. Maybe we will witness that change ourselves, maybe it will take a lot longer than our own life-span. But I think future generations will look back at the time we're living in and come to conclusion that civilization was still in it's baby shoes at a time people thought they were actually socially advanced. The reason people like "the doctor" react the way they do is because conformity with the majority is a good survival tactic and differing opinions make them uncomfortable, hence the lack of reasonable counterarguments. Anyway, although it has been amusing, I've had enough of this discussion for now.
