    Default found this interesting..

    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 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
    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 committed adultery.
    Which of these candidates would be our choice?
    Decide first... No peeking, and then scroll down for the
    response.
    Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
    Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
    Candidate C is Adolf 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.
    Remember:
    Amateurs ... Built the ark.
    Professionals ... Built the Titanic

    The Titanic was an object that was built. The Ark is part of a parable for the narrow minded. What's your point supposed to be here ?

    Be touchy and take it as criticism if you want, but I didn't understand what you meant, hence the question. So, what was the point of that homily at the end ?

    If there's a critic to be found, you'll certainly find it here! Let them ignore the bulk of your post - I enjoyed it.

    Nah.

    Option 3 is out right away. As a vegetarian, he would contribute nothing towards the worlds beef and lamb industry.

    Option 2 meanwhile supports the Scottish whisky (assume the assertion that he drank whiskey rather than whisky was erroneous) industry. On that basis, he trumps options 1 and 3.

    Beethoven would have been no great miss.

    The next time you or Mrs Jacko dial 999 for an ambulance, we'll send round a random guy in a battered old transit van with a first aid kit, rather than a paramedic team in an ambulance then ?

    Clearly it didn't 'Make a person think'.....or not you anyway.

    By the time you see living, feeling creatures as an "industry" then you've already lost any respect I may have had for you.
