I didn't check the last two, but I probably should have, since I can be friends with people who fall into either category. (Well, it depends on how unethical the behavior is. If it's something like "cheating his way through college" or "stealing small quantities of office supplies" I would be very likely to tolerate it. If it were "supports his extravagant lifestyle by embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars a month", I'd probably turn her over to the cops.) But, in any case, those are the ones that are most likely to make me disassociate from a friend.

The others were pretty easy to check. I may draw back from someone who disagrees with me violently, but I don't think I've ever decided "hey, he's a bad person because of that" or "I don't want to socialize with him any more".
