Questions

Question 1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had eight 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 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 astrologist. 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?










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.
Wait until you see the end of this note! Keep reading..





Never be afraid to try something new.
Remember: Amateurs...built the ark.
Professionals...built the Titanic







And Finally, 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 two 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 that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Um...I'm a little confused by question 2...is there an answer to it? I voted...but it didn't tell me who the right answer was. ...or if there was one...

I'm going to post the answers later

Three comments here - when Beethoven's mother was alive there was no birth control and what right would I have to even make a recommendation in such a personal and heart wrenching decision anyway. There are certain religions/ethnicities who feel that any time a fertile woman is not pregnant she is killing an unborn child which is why these believers also require girls to marry before they reach puberty. This is indeed true if you consider each egg a woman has as an unborn child that deserves a chance at life. And to carry the arguement even farther, when the earth runs out of space to support all these children do we just do away with those adults already alive who perhaps aren't very productive????

Again with the three presidents the mores of times have changed. In the time of our forefathers men were frequently expected to have mistresses because wifes didn't want 25 children and mistresses were expected to know how to avoid pregnancy. It was also true in many locations that the only way to get elected was to get the local political machine whether corrupt or not, to support you. I guess that is still true.

Response to three - we elect them and we can "unelect them". It's so funny though how many politicians and voters are in favor of term limits unless they are in power or the candidate they like is in power. There is supposedly a serious effort to allow George W to run for a third term since we are at war and there is legal precident for doing so.

Certainly makes you think...

Motorgypsy- But what if there had been birth control? We would have killed a very talented and important person. It's about the what ifs not the "what is". Because I'm pretty sure if it had been in this time, he would not have existed. Makes you think ...

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

[Jane Hurl]

For what it's worth, there's a pretty good argument to be made that Winston Churchill was manic depressive, to boot. (But a brilliant manic depressive. See, it's not all a downhill slide. Some of the most billiant works done in this world were done by manic depressives. You just can't live with the buggers.)

interesting...very interesting..

I remember getting an email like this years ago. I also enjoyed the Canadian version! I have not checked the rest of it since I've never seen it before.

Found this: http://www.snopes.com/glurge/twoquest.htm

Someone who has never smoked, doped, drank, fooled around, etc.? If we elected someone like that, who would we talk about?! :lol: And I am not even touching the abortion issue, no way, no how, no matter what century.......

[Jane Hurl]

Abortion? Abortion! Let's do abortion! (She said with a wicked, evil little grin.)

*giggle. snort.* Just kidding! Even I am not dumb enough to wander into that minefield!

[Abejita]

Bridgette..Do you equate birth control with killing? (thats the way your post was written) Yes bethoven may not have been conceived if there was birth control back then but he would not have been killed..but if 'his' music was meant to be heard by whatever plan of whatever creator has placed us upon this earth..it could have been written by some other warped genius.

birth control and abortion the whole world needs it.

[PasoPerson38]

Wait...
for the A,B,C thing...
Hitler never cheated on his wife, BUT he married her the day before he MURDERED her. Why would you put all the con's with the other two but only pro's to the worst? :-?

Also: I personally believe that, yes the ark was built by an "amature", but it never sank did it? :idea:

Hitlers wife killed herself but some believe she was shot by Hitler.

[PasoPerson38]

I was always tought that Hitler shot his wife, child, and then turned the gun on himself.

I believe Hitler never had a child....

Death of Adolf Hitler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hitler, having dictated his last will and testament to secretary Traudl Junge, signed them at 4 am on April 29. Shortly after midnight on April 30, 1945, Hitler married Eva Braun in a small civil ceremony in a map room within the bunker complex, before finally retiring to bed at around 4:00 am.

Shortly after noon on April 30, Hitler had a short meeting with Party Secretary Bormann before eating a small lunch consisting of spaghetti with a light sauce. Hitler and Eva Braun then said their personal farewells to members of the Führerbunker staff and fellow occupants, including the Goebbels family, Bormann, the secretaries, and several military officers. At around 2:30 pm, as Soviet forces raised their banner over the neighboring Reichstag, Adolf and Eva Hitler went into Hitler's personal study.

Some witnesses later reported hearing a loud gunshot at around 3:30 pm (the Goebbels' young son is said to have declared, "A direct hit!" thinking it was a bomb overhead). After waiting a few minutes, Hitler's valet, Heinz Linge, with Bormann at his side, opened the door to the study. Linge later stated he immediately noted a scent of burned almonds in the small study, a common observation made in the presence of prussic acid, a form of cyanide. The Hitlers were both sitting on a small sofa, Eva on the left, Adolf to the right. Eva's body slumped away from Adolf's. Hitler appeared to have shot himself in the right temple with a 7.65 mm pistol which lay at his feet. Blood was dripping from the wound to his right temple and had made a large stain on the left arm of the sofa. Eva had no visible physical wounds and Linge assumed she had poisoned herself.

Another point of speculation has been whether Hitler was physically capable of shooting himself in the moments following biting a glass ampule of cyanide, since rapid and violent convulsions often occur during cyanide poisoning. One theory suggests Hitler died after ingesting cyanide and his body was then shot by someone else to either make sure he was dead or to make it appear the Führer had died a soldier's suicide by gunshot. Eva Braun is sometimes mentioned as the shooter. She had trained with a pistol during the preceding weeks (as did many German women in response to stories of widespread rape and murder by advancing Red Army soldiers) and was presumably one of the only people Hitler trusted at the end of his life.

I believe Hitler never had a child....

There's a book in dutch called Siegfried and it's about the child that Hitler had and about how Hitler died. I don't really trust books, especially when they're supposed to tell the truth but are told like a story. So who knows

[PasoPerson38]

True Brigitte, Don't know what you can believe. I was just mentioning what I was tought.

That was the point--the ark never sank--Titanic did.
