Our civil liberties are being excessively curbed in the name of counter-terrorism.

Agree.

I'm worried, but not hyperworried.

A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.

Strongly Disagree.
Like, duh. Tongue This is to sort the democrats from the non-democrats.

In criminal justice, punishment should be more important than rehabilitation.

Agree.

Punishment is what we can actually administer, rehabilitation is hard to prove. Ideally, those who can be rehabilitated shouldn't be criminals in the first place. But this sort of varies from case to case.

It is a waste of time to try to rehabilitate some criminals.

Strongly agree.

Some people are just plain bad. That doesn't necessarily mean we shouldn't keep trying though.

Disagree.

Not sure either way, so equally important I guess.

Strongly Disagree.

Too lazy to start writing paragraphs on this one.

Multinational companies are unethically exploiting the plant genetic resources of developing countries.

Agree.

Eh, sure, whatever...my answers to this one varies,  but usually I  pick agree on pure instinct. I have no idea, actually.
Making peace with the establishment is an important aspect of maturity

Strongly disagree.

One should stick to one's conscience! The establishment can be plain wrong! Etc!
