How sacred to you is another nation's right to govern itself ?
Assume there's some country in the world which adopts one of the following laws and its citizens starts acting accordingly...
Please specify against which change of laws (and consequences) in that other nation would you want your government to take drastic actions?
In other words: in which case (or at whatever stage) should the military of your country invade that country and put a stop to the laws and practices in question?
Assume the military intervention has a fair chance of success. If you don't favor military intervention, please describe whatever other action you would deem appropriate. Additionally I invite you to specify in your comments if you want your politicians to act irregardless of or only with the sanction of the United Nations...
Why this survey? Well, we live in a shrinking world, so to speak, and I wonder how tolerant people across the globe are to the antics of some countries. Indeed, some options are quite fictional, but your opinion may be enlightening towards your opinion on whatever kind of strange stuff may happen in this century!

| confetti | reasonable | posted 30-Dec-2001 11:49pm Hmm, a lot of work was put into this. I hope it gets a good rating. |
| Zang | reasonable | posted 30-Dec-2001 11:25pm I like this. I almost think it should be made into several surveys. There's such a dearth of good surveys lately. |

| Biggles | old | posted 30-Dec-2001 1:51pm There are still spelling mistakes. Acting not acing. I think you mean case not ease.The question does not match the options. It should be officially not officialy. It should be space-vessels or space vessels *not* spacevessels. What about an option for "none of these" And one for the sanction of the UN? |

| kaleb777 | old | posted 30-Dec-2001 12:48pm In the explanation you have written "pot a stop to" |
| juliw | old | posted 30-Dec-2001 11:42am Kaleb's right on both counts |
| kaleb777 | old | posted 30-Dec-2001 11:20am Change "citizin" to "citizen" everywhere. |
| kaleb777 | old | posted 30-Dec-2001 10:57am Do a spell check. I believe "countries scientists" should be "country's scientists". Otherwise, it should be good. |
