TWO TOUGH QUESTIONS
Question 1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before looking at the answer for this one.


Question 2:
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three leading candidates.

Candidate A -
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists.
He's had two Mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B -
He was kicked out t of office twice, sleeps until
Noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C -
He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.


Which of these candidates would be your Choice?
Decide first, no peeking, then scroll down for the answer.









Candidate A: is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B: is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C: is Adolph Hitler.

And, by the way, the answer to the abortion question: If you said yes, you just killed Beethoven.
Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging someone.
Never be afraid to try something new.
Remember:
Amateurs built the Ark
Professionals built the Titanic

and in case you never saw this one..! ....
Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:
* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year
Can you guess which organization this is?

Give up yet?


It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group of idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.
You gotta pass this on

I dont want any of those canidates. I would have killed atleast 4 of those kids in the womb, then shot the man/men who impregnated her for spreding the diesease.

Though the stats on congress are intesting, i do wonder at what age some of the chages were handed out.

19 have been accused of writing bad checks .. alot of teens have money problems.
8 have been arrested for shoplifting ... I cant think of a kid in my high school who hasnt shop lifted.
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges ... Kids are fucking stupid.
3 have done time for assault ... Kids fight, parents press chages.

Those are some of the "small" things. Some of those are serious chages.




71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

Surprize surprize, people cant manage money. Watch TV for 5 minutes you'll see a credit counciling company pitch.

Also Remember:
The Ark is imaginary,

I think that's kind of important... eek:

The question is invalid. It's like asking:

WW1. You're an american soldier and you've just one a great battle. In their
retreat, some germans are weak and fail to do so fast enough. You spot one
and take aim: he looks so tired that he seems to give up on life. Would you
shoot him ? Yes or No ?

No ? You've just let Hitler live.

Considering the odds of getting an individual of genius in an unselected
sample of the population (1 in what, 300 000 000 ?!), you're pretty safe
with your abortion. Add to that the fact that life has no intrinsic value and
you're good to go.

nt, gg. kthx

i don't think he was trying to persuade you to do anything. I think it's more of one of those things that are just interesting to read. God forbid me saying this, but it's almost like "chain-mail" material.

The entire set of questions is an intellectual PISS OFF. A friend of mine and
I had to take one of those "preparatory" classes for University and the fukn
teacher thought she had a conundrum for us. Of course, most of them took
the bait but my friend and I laughed at how stupid they all were. I don't want
to get into the entire explanation unless I really have to, but suffice it to say
that the whole scenario is flawed. The teacher NEVER tried us again...
