I cannot possibly take such a test without commenting on it...
"I’d always support my country, whether it was right or wrong." This is a problematic proposition, imo. Perhaps I believe my country is wrong about something and I fight that wrong thing. I still support my country. The proposition seems to imply support for wrong things.
I'd rather see the proposition that says all people should have access to clean, free water.
"The rich are too highly taxed." Laughing out loud now. They pay no taxes. They haven't for ages. With loopholes, shelters and good lawyers the rich pay little to no taxes. They point to percentages and brackets that they are never beholden to.
They should pay their fair share is what they should do.
"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." This is an Old Testament value and I was raised with the understanding that it is not an American, Christian value.
And yet my brother said it after 9/11 and I hear other folks say it, seemingly not even knowing that it goes against the teachings of Christ.
"Good parents sometimes have to spank their children." I'm not against spanking in particular. I got belted
and soap in the mouth. The lesson I learned directly from that experience is that I would never do that to my child. And I didn't.
I watched my sister-in-law spank her kids. It didn't stop them from doing what they did. Does she think it was worth it? I do not know.
I had to pause to think about the death penalty. I've never been anti-death penalty. But I do not see it as justice nor as any kind of recompense. It's a fancy form of revenge. In light of the fact that we know people may be executed who are innocent, it's not something I can, in good conscience, support. Really bad criminals deserve to languish in prison. Minor offenders should not be there at all.
"Making peace with the establishment is an important aspect of maturity." What does this even mean? I find the proposition ludicrous.
Drum roll please.....
