Canada: What is Morally Acceptable?

Divorce more acceptable than gambling?

Doctor-assisted suicide better than Playboy?

Screwed up priorities, but I would of thought it would be worse, given Canada's recent record. At least only 1 in 100 people thinks being pedophile is OK. 91 think it's bad. 8 don't have an opinion? Hmm...


Regardless of whether or not you think each of the following issues should be legal, please indicate whether you personally believe they are morally acceptable or morally wrong.
