Questions  
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?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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 astrologers. 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?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The abortion thing: Frankly, I'd have recommended the abortion...and I'd have just killed Beethoven. Oops.


Voting thing:
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

Funky.

I honestly couldn't care less about killing Beethoven :) But back then, birth defects and enormous families were normal - half the kids usually died from some diease or another.

And as for the politicians - shows why you have to pay more attention to their ideology than their personal life, eh?

Re:
Very true, on both counts.

You wouldn't have killed Beethoven anyway. From snopes/glurge -
Beethoven was not born to a woman who "had 8 kids already." Although his mother, Maria Magdalena Laym (nee Kewerich) gave birth a total of eight times during her lifetime, Ludwig was only her third child. (Her first two children, one from a previous marriage, both died in infancy.) Only two of Beethoven's five younger siblings survived beyond their first few years of their life.

Their page responding to these two questions.

I picked A 'cause it sounded like the man had mad style.
