Judgment-Interesting

Found this in another forum........
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.
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 Can you guess which organization this is?
Give up yet?
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Plus he suffered from manic depression i believe. he called it his "back dog" or something. But the first question i answered against abortion because I'm pretty much pro-life. So with my advice Beethoven woukld still be alive at least. but i must admit Adolf Hitler would be running our country

Looking at politicians over here, I must notice that it's same kind of people. Wherever they are...
They all suck hard.

I would have voted for C in real life...but you also got to like a guy who was thrown out of office twice, sleeps until noon, and swills a quart of booze every day. Such sloth is something tough to live up to...even for me. On the abortion question...while I feel that there are circumstances that could warrant an abortion such as rape or a serious medical condition that endangers the mother's life...I am generally in favor of life because I see all life as sacred...so Beethoven would have made it.

Question 2 withholds a lot of information, and only shows the positive traits of Hitler while only showing the negative traits of FDR and Winston Churchhill. Hitler had the most inner drive and insanity of all of them, though all three were pretty shitty, like all politicians.
I would've killed Beethoven, but other musicians constantly come along. You must go on the circumstances and information you are presented with.
And I think anyone who doesn't know Congress is a bunch of crooks, liars and frauds is deceiving themselves.

True about the one sided views of the 3. That was the point. Often, we only hear one side of something and then, make a judgment about it. Goes to show how silly that can be when you make a judgment decision with just the one sided view of a subject.

That part about Hitler conveniently left out his methamphetamine addiction. Not that I would judge anyone by that...................................
