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 scrolling down to the answer of this one.
Question 2: It is time to elect a new world leader, and 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 whisky every evening.
Candidate C: He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and hasn't had any extramarital affairs.
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: Answer to the abortion question - if you said yes, you just killed Beethoven.

Great thought provoking question.
Luckily I didn't kill Beethoven, as generally speaking I feel it's up to a woman to decide whether or not to have an abortion.
I had a hard time choosing one of the three candidates, because in my opinion a politician's personal life is irrelevant. People are free to do what they want in their spare time as long as they don't hurt or bother other people. When I vote for somebody, it's based on their political ideas (I'm from a European country where it's "not done" to ask politicians about their personal life... I'm always amazed when foreign politicians use their wife and children to win support! Like you can only be a good politician when married with children...).
But out of those three, I would have chosen C...

You might want to do some research, since at least part of this is completely incorrect. Ludwig van Beethoven was the second child born to his parents, who were middle class. His father was a music teacher and musician and his mother was the daughter of a cook. Their first child only lived six days after birth. They had five children after Ludwig, but only three survived. None were deaf. None were blind. None were retarded. And his mother didn't have syphilis.
That's the problem with propaganda - it sounds good, but is completely unrelated to the truth.

B- If he was kicked out for doing something right and sleeping til noon because he was up all night analysing a critical decision and whiskey do maketh merry. After dealing with the most shadiest people in my cabinet, I would drink too!
Also, the answer to the first question is no because everybody deserves to live. She needs some Birth control before sexual activity.

I like your questions. It shows something very intresting, that when candidates make advertise campaign, maybe what they said sounds nice but they are as bad as Hitler and when they attack someone, they might succed to make him look bad, so we would loose a good candidate. That's why I always follow this saying " Don't believe everything you HEAR and believe ONLY HALF of what you SEE"
By the way I voted NO for the first question.

It's funny but hopefully a joke like this doesn't influence people. Did you know that Hitler would take methamphetamine daily?
