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 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

I've heared the abortion one before, but not the one about Hitler. I suppose what is said is true, because according to my Sister's World History book, he was a good leader untill he went insane and killed all of those people. Which I hope he is still burning in hell for.

Interesting stuff,

Its obvious you`d probably recommend an abortion in q1 (sry)
However the q2 heavily relies on q1 for deception and certain specifics of the candidates involved q2 have a lot of details left out purposely to influence the obvious answer.

Hey, you could add different good and bad points in all of their profiles from childhood to adults to influence another opinion ( sorry If I sound harsh, but I`m currently studying history in the last century ;) )

Both ways prove though... "Never judge a book by its cover".

I said i wouldn't for question one, mainly because I dont believe in abortion. So I would never recommend it. I did elect Hitler from number two though.

i wouldn't have churchill, FDR, or Hitler for my leader. Churchill because after WWII the homeless Jews needed a place to go. so, what better a place then their homeland right? Churchill takes Palestine, then a colony of Britain, and gives it to the Jews as Israel. Everyone's happy right? not the palestinians still living there. they get kicked out of their homes and now they are filled with an anti-semetic hatred. this hatred has grown over the past half a century and has developed into the palestinian/israeli conflict that we know and love today.
however, that being said, i would still choose him over FDR, the bastard. in 1938 i believe, the US was still not doing anything about the hanus crimes Hitler was committing against Jews in Germany. anyway, one day this cruise ship comes to dock at one of our ports and is filled with German Jews looking to escape Hitler's wrath. FDR takes one look at them, and based on a quote from him, said we don't want any dirty jews in America. nice huh? anyway, he promptly turned them around, sent them to Cuba to refuel and them sent them back where they came from. a job well done.
i dont even have to mention hitler.


by the way, in the actual quote he did say "dirty jews"

Though I'm not against abortion, I said no: she shouldn't have the kid aborted.

And i also chose candidate B. There's nothing wrong with havin' a little whisky every evening. Though, C blatantly screamed at me to pick it. Hitler wasn't really a bad person, he was just fucked up in the head. You cant' deny his genius in bringing Germany from poverty to a world power, in very little time to boot.

Jews needed a place to go. so, what better a place then their homeland right? Churchill takes Palestine, then a colony of Britain, and gives it to the Jews as Israel. Everyone's happy right? not the palestinians still living there. they get kicked out of their homes and now they are filled with an anti-semetic hatred. this hatred has grown over the past half a century and has developed into the palestinian/israeli conflict that we know and love today.

I hate to burst your bubble there, but those conflicts are centuries old. Sure, it's worse now because of what happened, but it's also worse because of the better availability of weapons now. They didn't have bazookas and AK-47's 200 years ago.

Mr. Churchill sounds like my kind of guy! Sleeping until noon, not following rules, and drinking whiskey is the way to be.

Unless you don't like whiskey of course. :D

I choose churchill... its a little known fact that shortly before the war, Adolf Hitler was Time magazines "Man of the year" in 1940(?)

I'm kinda on the fence on abortion issues.. I can fully understand both side of the argument.. possibly leaning towards the anti.. hooray for a child who makes it through.

I didn't go for option c because he sounded too straight laced. Someone who denies themselves that many vices has got to have a lot of pent-up frustration. And therefore would not make a level headed leader. My ideal leader would be someone who understands what it is like to live at the bottom of the ladder, and what the world is truly like.

Vote Azrael for Prime minister 2006. You know it makes sense!

Ha! I think I probably would vote for you. Too bad I don't live over there. And too bad you can't run for President here.
