2 Tough Questions!

Postby taffy » Feb 3rd, '09, 09:34



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 disabled, and she had
Syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?


Read the next question before looking at the response 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 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 committed adultery.


Which of these candidates would be our choice?

Decide first... No peeking, and then scroll down for the response.




Answers



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

And, by the way, on your 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.


Remember:

Amateurs ... Built the ark.
Professionals ... Built the Titanic

Impossible is nothing, if you only believe!

they did mathematical type testing, the ark could not have been constructed if i remember...so if it was god's doing - he should have saved the poor lad all that time and effort and just produced it for him..afterall, he was doing god a favour gathering them all up in the first place..

i wonder what they did with all the dung?

i personally would recommend the abortion, purely on health reasons - sorry Beethoven...

if you mentioned the feelings of xenophobia, megalomania and also had a penchant for cousins - i doubt if people would go for C for the second choice!

i would say its also about perception - if you only let a certain amount of information be known to others about a person - then you can control the response to that person too... :D

Couple of missing facts...

Hitler wasn't a vegetarian and while he mightn't have committed adultery he was screwing his niece!

Ricky Gervais, I seem to remember, has an interesting response to this... although I can't remember which XFM/Podcast show it was in!

Me, too. Under the circumstances, it would be foolish to go ahead with the pregnancy.
