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 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?
Decide first... no peeking, then scroll down for the response.
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.
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 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.
These are my answers
Question 1
- Depends on her choice and if she is capable to care for her ninth kid.
Question 2
Candidate C is what I would pick, for best behavior.
Question 3
I probably cannot imagine that a huge number of the members of Congress do not have clean records. I thought that the members of Congress are supposed to have very clean records.
I'm not going to look up all the facts, but I did look up Beethoven, and he was the 2nd of 7 children, and the first to survive infancy. It should be noted that infant mortality was very very common at this point in history, and also that there was no medical method of abortion either. His mother died of tuberculosis, not syphilis (although nearly everyone had STDs in those times so it is not unlikely she also had syphilis.)
Considering nearly every fact referenced in that question is wrong, I wouldn't trust the rest of the quiz too much.
All it proves is that, as the saying goes, "Times change."
WOW. Bothin interesting and unbelievable! Thanks for sharing VhrisH.

Hmmm... I'd be interested in the same statistics for our beloved government; can anyone dig up any dirt on Gordon Brown or is he just too boring for words???
Interesting quiz and we'll leave those people that like to represent our views out of this...lol...on this side and that side of the pond!
Cheers,
