Some neat facts.

Discussion in 'General' started by JRilla, Aug 23, 2005.

  1. I saw this posted at another forum I visit, and I thought it was pretty interesting.

    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?

    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.

    If you said yes to Question 1, you just killed Beethoven.

    Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.

    Candidate B is Winston Churchill.

    Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

    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 shop lifting

    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.
     
  2. nice one +rep....i chose churchill though, i knew there was a catch...anyone who does opium is down in my book haha :smoke: :smoke:
     
  3. that first one is beethoven right? i heard this a long time ago
     
  4. well adolf also got shot up with speed 5 times daily
     
  5. Is part of your post some kind of pro-life argument? I don't want to get defensive or anything, or start a debate (even a friendly one just yet) until I know your intention.


    Also, most the candidates listed, what what are we supposed to assume? It's obvious if you take negatives about great people and put them against the positives of horrible people (without knowing any other information) you are always going to pick the positives.

    Thumbs down. This wasn't interesting to me.
     
  6. i killed beethoven and i chose churchill :D
     
  7. ive seen this very same fact thing like two years ago.nice. is the second one true?or is exaggerating about the congress
     
  8. I chose FDR (He was the fuckin man), and I wouldn't recommend ANYONE have an abortion.

    I knew our congress was fucked up. I'd fire every one of those mutherfuckers..
     
  9. You forgot the part about killing hundreds of millions of innocent people.
     
  10. i disagree. for once i found a post that caught my attention and kept it. why so? it's mildly humorous (not in a haha way) because it's true. and RE-FUCKING-LAX. he wasn't accusing you of anything. why did you get so defensive? "what what are we supposed to assume?!?!!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!" that was the point of it. to surprise you. it's an alternative way to learning. one of those little oddball facts you don't mean to memorize but you do. like the beethoven one - now i know a random fact about beethoven.
     


  11. It wasn't my intention to come off like an ass. If I did I simply can't apologize enough. The only way I can really explain myself is just by saying I was curious as to what he was trying to get across.

    You're right, I enjoyed your terminology of an alternate way of learning. So, to that, I smoke (and re-fucking-lax, too)!

    :smoke:
     


  12. sounds like me
     
  13. 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses, and 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year
    have to be my two faveriot ones... they are the ones who make the rules about that kind of stuff and because they are who they are they probably got a slap on the wrist... you always hear about mayors of people like that getting caught for dd and the cops just follow them home... im not totaly aginst dd cause i do it sometimes but i dont go out all trashed when i cant stay in the lines or anything like that... i dunno.. it just kinda bugs me :mad:
     
  14. Hitler only never cheated on his wife because he married her right before he killed himself ;)

    Never trust those damm vegetarians...
    (kidding...dont mean to offend u vegans...just means more steak for me)
