    Not worry....be concerned with maybe?

    Would you think that I'm weird if I reorganize the dishwasher each time?

    No. That's not so weird, especially when I compare it to some people I have met throughout my life.

    Would you consider someone who steals a bad person?

    Jean Valjean stole...
    ...circumstances?? Stealing is wrong, definitely! But what constitutes a BAD person?

    Would you ever steal?

    Depends. I would steal from the rich to give to the poor, or like Jean Valjean, to feed my starving family. Or I would steal from huge corporations like Wal Mart or Coca Cola that violate human rights and operate because they exploit the poor (and Coca Cola pollutes and has been known to kill union organizers, just as has Chiquita)... I wouldn't feel bad about stealing from them. As for what constitutes a "bad" person, well the question was whether YOU would think a person is bad, which would mean that a "bad" person is what you think a bad person is. If that makes sense.

    Same question.

    I consciously would steal under desperation of survival. But if it not mine, it is not mine...

    Would you break any laws, just because you did not like them?

    yes. Some laws are completely unjust and unfair and limit human freedoms (or think Civil Rights movement, or slavery, etc). Even in the "freeest" of countries there are laws that should be abolished, and/or changed, and I would break them.

    Would you ever burn a flag?

    Only in respect of it... I don't find that it is beneficial to disrespect something just because I do not like it. I'm not big into protesting.

    Would you do what you can to inconvenience a corporation just because you didn't like their practices?

    I would stop buying their products, and maybe have many others boycott them as well. If this is what is considered as an inconvenience, then yes, I suppose I would. But I wouldn't try to go around buring their buldings down or something. That type of protest doesn't change anything. The system of oppression and exploitation must change, though how to go about that is complicated... (my apologies for these long answers)

    Would you pay more for a product that is "fair trade"?

    I don't know what the "fair trade" is...

    Would you argue politics with a friend?

    Someone once told me "never talk about politics or relgion with someone you like."
    However, I do it anyway.

    Would you?

    Only as far not to damage the friendship...

    Would you try to see the validity in another's point of view even if you didn't agree?

    Yes, of course

    Would you persist in being dogmatic, even after it stops being logical?

    Possibly, I will on occasion cut of my nose to spite my face.

    Would you walk out on a movie or stay to see if there are any redeeming qualities?

    Stay, I always find something - even if it is only the colour of the background

    Given the opportunity (and that you had the skill to do it), would you rather act in a movie or direct a movie?

    If I had nothing to loose and I strongly believe the law was unjust I would go to jail.
