The citizens of a democratic country are endowed with a lot of rights.

The citizens of a democratic country are endowed with a lot of rights (which we love to flaunt and misuse) and some responsibilities ( which we selectively ignore). I do not mind any rights that the constitution has bestowed the citizens with. Democracy must come with all those constitutional rights and I am really thankful. But I would have been happier if the rights would come with equal liability to our responsibilities. We talk about rights at every turn of our lives but categorically forget the responsibility part. We have this strange psyche of molding stuffs according to our will and how we want it to be! Our constitution could have come more properly worded where RESPONSIBILITY was given more stress and weight so that when we would go about exercising our rights we would do that with accountability. Thanks Bala.

I don't have anything against the rights that are given to people in democratic countries. Our country, the Philippines, is said to be democratic. What I have against is the lack of implementation of laws (so I'm more concerned of laws rather than rights) because it's what's keeping us in a great deep mess - we have laws that protect people, but no body's implement them properly and more and more Filipinos end up badly. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Right to legal redress :- This right in misused sometimes to harass and extorte. Another one that i have come across is right to speech and expression is misused by a few for personal gains and propganda.

i donot know of all the rights but i think the rights are all hogwash,if they want they can make the right wrong by quoting the law.if we remain according to the law,then we are safe.

I feel that criminals don't deserve any rights. Anybody who kills a child should be exterminated from society.
