6The rich countries should share their wealth better with the poor countries.

9Soft drugs should be legalized, because that is the only way to end the criminal black market whereon they are traded.
10In contact with people from other cultures I always try to adapt to their culture, regardless if said contact takes place in my own or in the other's country.

16All human cultures are of equal value.
17A person's level of intelligence is for a considerate part determined by that person's social environment.
18Overpopulation is absolutely no problem, provided we all adopt ways of living and producing that are in balance with the ecology, and let the Third World share in our wealth.
19Criminals are not born bad, but made that way by their environment.
20The effect of what one says is more important than whether or not it is true.
21To increase security measures is a good - that is, ethically desirable - way to reduce crime.
22A society of higher average I.Q. is not necessarily a better society.
23Wealth should be redistributed over the world, such that all countries become equally wealthy.

28If a Black and a White athlete compete against each other, commentators should refer to them by the colour of their clothes and never by the colour of their skin.

30If we all became vegetarians, this would be good for the environment and/or the climate.
31If poor people commit crimes, this is likely a result of their poverty, being discriminated, or other depressing social circumstances.
32Lying is normal social behaviour.
33Insufficient security measures are a major cause of crime.

48The current Western standard of civilization could easily be maintained, were average I.Q. in the West to drop.
49I admire Che Guevara.
50"Races" like Blacks, Whites, and Orientals are social constructs that lack a biological basis; all currently living humans belong to one and the same race.

62It is absolutely no problem if those of higher intelligence and education have low fertility rates, have few children.
63When people from countries where average I.Q. is low migrate to rich countries, their I.Q.'s and/or those of their children will rise to the level of natives of the destination country as a result of the better environment.

71Scientists who publish books to the extent that some races are more intelligent than others should be exposed as racists, and banned from the academic world and its publication fora.

73On the whole, women are better people than men.
74If immigration leads to more crime, then people must simply accept that, learn to live with it, and take extra security measures.
