Questions (Not about painting)

[War Griffon]

Thought some of you might enjoy these

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.



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.

Never be afraid to try something new.

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 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 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 of idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

That\'s pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Stat\'s like those are interesting. One that has always interested me is how many people who were world famous for some reason or the other died in poverty and obscurity. Kinda drawing a blank at the moment.

First off, arrests and accusations are meaningless (not convictions), as is being sued by someone. Basically, the 3 assaults show they did something wrong, and I\'d like to know what it means for a person to bankrupt a company. I think they\'d have to have complete independent financial control. Not likely.

I was sure that first president was going to be Ronald Reagan.

Martyn, you aren\'t even a yank so why do you care? You should be more concerned about the UK banning cooking knives.

Mick, you aren\'t even a yank so why do you care? You should be more concerned about the UK banning cooking knives.

First off it was posted as a bit of fun and is from an e-mail that was sent to me and was not meant to put anyone on their high horse.

As for convictions allegations etc thats for the lawyers to argue over. All I know is they rip me off for a fortune when I could be making more use of that money by buying more mini\'s that I willprobably never get around to painting

As for Politics well lets not even go down that road as I am one of the many that end up fighting the wars they start.

And as for banning cooking knives well I dare say it wouldn\'t be the first time what with the interference from Brussels and some of the stupid laws they pass such as the shape of bannana\'s just to mention one and our own idiots tried to ban bacon and eggs at one time saying it was bad for you.

Who is Mick?

Endex nuff said I think.

Martyn
(Who whilst from the UK doesn\'t do politics and is about as diplomatic as a breeze block)

 

[Legacy Account]

lol

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Bloody hell Vince! Go get your gun!

lol

\"Guns for show, knives for a pro...\"

 

[Shawn R. L.]

One of the happy things about congress passing all these laws for the \'benifit\' of the populace at large is they often exempt themselves from those very same laws. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

 

[supervike]

I confused...

Hitler has been elected to the Senate and is sailing here on the Titanic, but not before he aborts Beethoven...

I\'m going back to the \"Just Add Three Words\" thread...

 

[Mosch]

You know, the thing only works because the facts were selected to reflect how they did bad things and Hitler was not all that bad, except for that whole killing the jew thing, however people tend to remember that one - oh wait a minute, noone gives a damn about someone\'s diet if that person tried to systematically exterminate another culture. Also, I don\'t see why political integrity should be a logical thing for a non-smoker or someone who never cheated on his wife. I never cheated on sakura and nobody made me chancellor yet. I don\'t smoke, I don\'t drink and I don\'t even try to get any jews killed!

Meh, sorry, but this stupid piece of a questionaire has been plagueing the internet for ages and I am utterly sickof the sight of it. Also, don\'t even get me started on the other points, about Beethoven, the titanic or the United States Congress.

*rant over*

 

[MarkusTay]

@Martyn - Although the facts are skewed for the purpose of the joke I still had a good laugh. Funny Stuff.

@Vince - I know Martyn has already said it, but considering he IS in the military of our strongest ally I would say our political decisions are a VERY big deal to him. And hey, I think Ted Kennedy is still in congress... can anyone say Chapaquitic? (sp?)

@SuperVike - I think you are the only one who has figure out the truth of the situation. Of course Hitler took the Titanic, he knew that piece of crap Hindenburg was gonna blow.

You\'re scaring me there, Shawn! It sounds like you almost stopped waving that flag for second... lol

(I knew there was a liberal under there somewhere)

 

[Naukhel]

Umm... didn\'t Hitler and his wife die on their honeymoon? Doesn\'t really give him much time to cheat on her, does it?

No fair giving us Hitler\'s campaign team\'s bios of the candidates. That\'s basically what the question does after all. Kind of like \"Swift Boat Veterans\" or something

@markus
I might put it this way, I dislike one side less than the other. The way I see it now, I think both sides are driving us towards a cliff. I just think one side is a faster driver than the other. BTW, did you get my PM about the Armorcast stuff?.............................If I can get my black helicopter fired up, me and Dick Cheny can deliver some stuff, because of course I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!! All courtesy of Haliburton!!lollol

 

[Infidel Castro]

I went for B (Winston) because I reckoned up that a PM who would sleep in frequently would allow the rest of the democratically selected politicians to get some work done lol

I\'m a winner

Did someone touch a sore spot with vince by the way? That was some over-reaction :wow:

I saw Beethoven the other day, and he said punk was the best music ever.

 

[Drake Farstrider]

Interesting stuff WG. I killed Beetoven and voted for c. Shows wha I know. I do know that this is the reason I stay out of politics. I would always be voting for the nicer... er lesser of 2 evils.

 

[MarkusTay]

Beethoven\'s abortion I don\'t think would have changeed the world too much. Now if Mozart hadn\'t existed that would have been a real crime!

And I\'m sure Adolf was a very likable chap if you knew him personally. Obviously he got an entire nation to fall in love with him so he must of been the decent sort. In fact, if it wasn\'t for his obssesion with the Jews the US might have actually been on his side. I\'m not defending his behaviour, I\'m just saying he probably was a hoot to hang out with. There are some perfectly normal seeming people that have just one \'glitch\' in their mental stability that makes us consider them a lunatic. Unfortunately for the world, he wound up with the power to act upon his obsession.

I was a painter for a large contracting firm years ago working on a mental institution. I was surprised to see some of the patients walking around freely. One of them came over to me and started asking me questions about painting, and he seemed nice and was very civil. After about ten minutes he walked off to talk to someone else and a doctor in a lab coat came up to me and was asking what we talked about. I told him,and he said \"it\'s good you didn\'t mention spiders, just the word alone would have sent him into histerics. If he sees one it\'s even worse, he gets very violent\". I was taken aback, and thanked the doctor for warning me. Then the \'doctor\' asked me if I wanted a blow job... thats when I noticed his name tag was written in crayon...

lol

*in my best german accent voice*

\"Eva....Eva...I\'ve a little Honeymoon surprise for you, my little schweety....\"

BANG

That might be a little worse than cheating...

 

[MarkusTay]

Did you catch that lttle Hitler and Eva thing on The Family Guy? Very funny stuff...

 

[War Griffon]

There was a program on the other month over here about Hitler and the bit I saw started with his rise tower and right from the start it seemed to be a case of put me in power and I will change the way the country is run and stop the jews from taking over the running of Germany. At the start of his rise in power and popularityboth Britain and the US were friendly with him and signed various pacts/treaties but as after a few years was when they realised what it was really all about. A case of to little to late again I think.

He even took over all the gyms, leisure areas sports ground etc and said that if you wanted to use the facilities you had to be a member/join th eHitler youth movement which of course we all know from history what they were really bred/taught to turn out for.

My apologies if I have any of this wrong and my apologies to the German members of CMON for dragging this up.
