A few others I had trouble with:
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
WTF?
"Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified."
So strongly depends.
"Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment."
I bet you could have conferences at end about this question.
"Protectionism is sometimes necessary in trade."
Again, this is difficult to say in abstract terms.
"It's natural for children to keep some secrets from their parents."
Sigh. Of course it's natural. But what does that say about parenthood and good children/parent relationship.
"People with serious inheritable disabilities should not be allowed to reproduce."
FFS. What could ever be the right answer here?
"There are no savage and civilised peoples; there are only different cultures."
Too simplistic. There are sometimes savage elements in "civilized" peoples (e.g. honor killings).
"First-generation immigrants can never be fully integrated within their new country"
Most likely not. But the interesting points are the following generations.
"In a civilised society, one must always have people above to be obeyed and people below to be commanded."
Again, too simplistic.
"These days openness about sex has gone too far."
Tough. Too some degree yes, yet at the same time no!
BTW: If you strongly disagree with everything you get this (which is kinda interesting in itself in).
