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.

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.

Very interesting. But regarding the above statement, I think GOD had a little something to do with the building of the Ark...

Actually, I find the arguments against these examples on Snopes.com to be more informative than the emails that go around about them. They point out where facts have been distorted to support one view or another. As an example, while Beethoven's mother give birth a total of 8 times, he was the third child.
