    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 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 435 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.

    Hey! Wadda ya know? I chose Winston Churchill as my candidate. I thought Candidate A was too dodgy and Candidate C was too uptight. B was the best of the bunch.

    (Sorry, Beethoven)

    It's awesome! I have some of the most honarable people in my family who are the biggest dickheads (both my uncles who are patent lawyers but never did anything for me). And the other side of my family are "nobodies" but they are the ones with the heart. I hate it when people judge based on money and status. There is so much prejudice in this world, it's good to see examples like these. However, most people will bow down before the opinions of the masses and overlook a lot of good things in life.

    I couldnt choose any of candidates becouse there was not stated how they are in politics. heh..

    Usefull post. People usually judge on other people only by themselfs, and only by own experience and perception of the world. Who know everything, who know every reason why is something like it is?..

    All the truly great leaders in this world have been womanizers... which is why C was out of the question for me... and if you want anything done in government, you have to associate with both the good and the crooked. Sleeping until noon? Early bird gets the worm.
    A - Roosevelt - was my choice.

    Option B didn't seem too bad to me. It never said what time he went to bed. Sometimes I don't wake up till noon if I stay up working on something until 8 or 9 in the morning.

    Do I have to send this forum to 10 people or risk having bad luck?
