This thread really became one of the most interesting ones on here for me.
The second test was way better then the first, but still there were many things not clear enough for me.
The strangest question was something like:

Should companies that mislead costumers be punished?

I strongly agreed, because I had an extreme case in mind: The Contergan-case, which caused heavily misbuild children, because the pharma-company didn't research enough and therefore misleaded the public.

If I had a case in mind like: company A builds yoghurt packings which look like 300g are in them, but there are just 250g in them, I would heavily disagree, because the costumer should be smart enough to look at the packages to see the differences.

Would be interesting, to discuss the questions one by one, to see what others implied, when they read them.

Someone interested???

Discussing the questions would probably spark over dozens of debates and lead to this thread having about 60 pages.

Then let the discussion commence!  I do agree fmc has an excellent point in bringing up how questions are read by different people.  It's very difficult to have unambiguous questions in a quiz like this, especially when you're trying to keep it fairly short.

When I agreed with the "punish businesses that mislead consumers" question, I was thinking about things like Enron misleading shareholders or false advertising, which I do think should be illegal and therefore punished.  OTOH, do we need the government determining exactly what amount of fat can be in food to be eligible to be labeled "low fat"?  I don't know, except that it takes a huge, unelected and unaccountable bureaucracy to figure these things out and enforce them.
