hmmmm, maybe - the whole middle group is kinda the same in value to me

hmmm. The emerging pattern seems to be randomness.

I would have guessed that the more 'political' posters would have thought voting was more important.

irl, i don't quite shun people who don't vote, but it's pretty darn close. A rule in this house is (as it was in my parents), if you didn't vote, you're not allowed to talk about the results. Kinda makes people vote, cuz they always wanna talk!

I wasn't sure how you wanted to have these numbered...
from worst to least worst:

Kidnapping
Politicians
Driving Drunk
Buying Stolen Goods
Cheating on Spouse
Tax Evasion
Not Voting
Newspapers
Keeping $10
Elevator Smoking

1. Kidnapping and holding a child for ransom.
2. Driving while well over the legal limit for alcohol.
3. Cheating on your spouse.
4. Buying stolen goods.
5. Politicians, to get money for themselves, using their influence to get a law passed which they know to be against the public's interest.

9. Tax evasion by withholding important information.

These could change depending on what I've most recently read in the newspaper, although I chose the first two because of the potential loss of life--I think those would stay the same.

1,9,6,5,10,4,2,3,8,7.

1) Kidnapping and holding a child ransom for buying stolen goods.
2) Newspapers making a known criminal who smokes in elevators appear heroic.
3) Not voting in a national election for politicians who pass laws against the public's interest.
4) Cheating on your spouse while driving well over the legal limit of alcohol.
5) Tax evasion by withholding important information like the fact that you kept $10 of extra change.

1) Cheating on your politician against the public's interest.

Numbers 4 and 5 are under the supposition, respectively, that you know the goods are stolen and that the amount of the evasion is important (to you). If not, I'd move them behind drunk driving.

Yikes
just the change in name from one site to another was enough disclosure for me. Cann't tell you about the above 10 yet. :-)

1) kidnapping and holding a child ransom
2)driving while well over the legal limit of alcohol
3)cheating on your spouse
4)politicians, to get money for themselves, using their influence to
get a law passed which they know to be against the public's

8)newspapers treating crime as news and making a known criminal

9)tax evasion by withholding important information
10) smoking in elevators

I'd like to make an itsy point here in regards to the keeping of the extra $10 of change. As it happened, that happened to me just last week and I kept the change. The reason was this... I received my change, questioned the clerk who said that it was correct. As her supervisor was just behind her (but clearly not supervising) I thought that if I were to go into more detail, it might not go so well with her, so I smiled sweetly and left.

There are times when discretion is the better part of valor.

I have returned and given money and or objects back in the past... in the main, it is so confusing to the clerical staff and they go into such a todo, usually trying to attach blame to someone, that I've nearly given up. If it were a small shop and no supervisor, I would, of course, be more clear and, I suppose, moral.

1. kidnapping (horrific)
2. driving drunk (potentially horrific)
3. politicians ( a real harm to a lot of people)
4. tax evasion (similar to above)
5. keeping change (harm to clerk's job)
6. buying stolen goods (harm to business infrastructure, hurts people financially)
7. Newspapers.....(it's business, it's up to us to read more and sort that out)
8. cheating on spouse (emotional trauma but only if caught)
9. not voting (irresponsible but no one gets hurts)
10. smoking (just rude)

Simply driving is "potentially horrific."

Okay, here's something I find interesting about drunk driving (and this is in no way meant to endorse it). We punish, increasingly heavily, a behavior which might result in someone's being harmed -- but we do not do it across the board, nor is the implementation of fines and jail terms, strictly speaking, fair. It is somewhat arbitrary.

One individual at 0.08% blood alcohol might, by virtue of their training, coordination, and general attentiveness, pose less of a hazard toward others as another individual stone cold sober. Not to suggest that this is always or even usually the case, but it is certainly possible, and there are plenty of people who are a menace on the roadway strictly through inattention (or divided attention), though they scarcely ever violate a traffic law.
