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 t 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.

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

Edgar: I have seen both these before but no one who sends it to me can answer the following question:

Here's an easy question:
Who are the three who have done time for assault?

Part Two:
If you can't name them, does that tell you anything about the rest of the list?

I just posted these to see who could debunk where debunking was called for. The one about congress could well be an urban myth or something for all I know.

So you knew that list is a load of steaming crappolla?

The Congress thing got its start in a 1999 5 Article Series run by Capitol Hill Blue, an eccentric and irreverent news-and-commentary website of relative (in internet terms) antiquity. In the original series of articles, they name some names, but leave much of their finding up to conjecture, being rather vague about just who did what when. It should also be noted that much is made of "Charges" "Lawsuits" orother allegations, while little if any proof of trial record, let alone verdict or conviction is brought forth. Pretty typical smear stuff, IMO; emotional, attention-grabbing, designed for wide, if uncritical, appeal, and tenuous enough to be difficult-to-impossible to prove or disprove. Perhaps some or all of it it was true when written, perhaps over the history of Congress, every particular was true at one time or another, but all in all, the statistics listed are suspect as applied to any particular given Congress. What it amounts to, IMO, even if validated, is that Congress Critters are more or less demographically congruent with others of their age, geographic, educational, socio-economic, and political subsets. The one thing that is undeniable is that that list has a life of its own on the 'net.

My sister sent this stuff to me. I felt there was something fishy about that last part and I was pretty sure somebody here had the truth. I plan to send this thread to my sister. Perhaps she will be impressed enough to become a member.
