[el borracho]

In case it matters, I rated things as follows:
0 - morally bankrupt; people who commit these acts should be killed or in jail
1-4 I would not be friends with people who commit these acts
5 I can overlook a 5 once in a while but it's really questionable. Too many 5s and I wouldn't be friends with the person
6-9 slightly immoral; I may or may not be friends with these people
10 neutral
11-15 normal/ expected behavior
16-20 admirable behavior that may or may not reflect attainable goals for normal people

[Jenson71]

Upon further reflection, I was at first a little too easy on the cheating sitatuations. I've changed them since.

[Jenson71]

This reminds me of a story my brother has. Once, he went into confession and told the priest one of his sins was that "He had been making fun of somebody" and the priest told him "Well, sometimes that is just a good sense of humor"

[bowener]

Give me a 0 overall. Morality is at best relative. It is a human construct.

edit: also, this does not mean I would do the terrible acts listed above, it just means there is no plausible way to 'grade' people on situations that differ from culture to culture, time period to time period.

[Rain Man]

Consensual sex with an underage teen (statutory) - 10, assuming the teen is at least 16 and that the adult is no more than 22. If the adult is more than 22 years old, then 8. If the teen is younger than 16, 6
Being kind to a stranger - 14

Becoming a prostitute - 11 (See above.)

[Joie]

Quiz too long.

Reader's Digest version: I would never cheat on Aces, I would never kill anyone outside of self defense but reserve the right to change my mind if someone I love was murdered, and I'm too honest to cheat on my taxes.

Bingo.
