I asked a few people, and they all said they'd rather be stolen from than killed. So, in my area anyway, people seem to have decided that killing is worse than stealing.
Btw, i didn't see this before, therefore i never responded, i didn't really feel the need to put IMO as this is a message board, and a message board is for sharing information and opinions more often then not, the latter of the two, but i guess i have to say it.

My statements, are my opinions as your test would point out, asking those people of their opinons would 'decide' in your mind, which is worse, but none of them can really be 'worse' as it's all based on opinions anyways. any penalties given for the crimes were also opinions, the opinions of government officals and or the people of the country, on which ones were worse and which deserved more time then the others. don't they teach you in the third grade how to decipher fact from opinion anymore?

Remember:
2 + 2 = 4 is fact
Theives should have their balls promptly removed is opinion.

Got all that, or do you need some more examples of fact vs. opinion?

I wonder to myself why this thread hasn't been closed already when it's obviously a stewing pit of 'flaming just waiting to happen'.
