Judgment?

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. Who would you vote for?

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 our 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.

Wait till you see the end of this note! Keep reading..

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

If you wanted a response mine was no for question 1 and I picked candidate B for question 2.

The organization answer I have seen before but would not have guessed it to be the answer.

I've read this puzzle/question before, but this time I'd like to comment on Quetion 1...

Where is the problem that a person is deaf? Or blind?

Would life present some challenges for them? Sure, but live presents challenges to people who can see or hear as well. Being deaf or blind from birth is hardly the end of the world, especially in this day and age.

Walk up to any blind or deaf person, and ask them if they think their mother should have abort them.

As far as mental retardation...what is the severity? are there other health issues? Is this person happy and in anyway contribute to the happiness of others?

What about a woman who had 8 children, 5 of which were born missing a hand or foot? Would we advise her to abort the next one?

You know what a deaf person CAN'T do?.....hear.

You know what a blind person CAN'T do?.....see.

You know what a lot of people driving on highways right now can't do?....drive safely. You know what they ARE doing? Risking any number of other people lives.

Should these drivers have been aborted also?


Whoever first came up with that question is a dumbass.

Walk up to a deaf person and ask them.......
Really? How are you going to ask them unless you know sign language
or the person can lip read?

Basically, that is what "they" can't do. Our society is not equipped to accommodate a lot of people who are physically or mentally challenged.
Unless you are deaf or blind or know someone who is, I don't really think
you know what challenges they deal with.

Why? Just because you are all knowing?
