SOME 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?
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 your choice?
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?
Decide. I'll post the answers later... |

Yeah, I think I know which organization this is.  I think the lot of them should be fired, and we should hire monkeys to do their jobs. Hey, couldn't hurt, and I bet the price of bananas would drop.........  |

Yup...but then you wouldn't do #1 under any circumstance... 
If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.
Organization?
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.  |

A question if anyone is willing to answer it since I don't really follow the royal gossip. Too sad in my opinion...my question is this..is Prince Charles still next in line to inherit the throne from Queen Elizabeth after she abdicates or passes away? Despite after all his royal hijinks and misadventures? Or will his son, Prince William be head of the royal house? Enquiring minds and all..  |

Well I see where you're going but no one voted him in! (And yes he is still the chosen one.)
I guess it's easy to become a mass murdering dictator with global aims - just keep your nose clean till ya get elected.
And now I'm ticked - apparently I'm not qualified to run for congress... they just keep raising the bar.
Great post Littlestar! |

Actually this "questions" has been around for a long time and this isn't the first time I have seen them here on the internet in one form or another.
The first time I saw this "Questions" was in an email some one sent me about 5 years ago,and I have even seen it in a book.
SO some of these questions about the Congress might have been true a long time ago, and if any one messes up now it's all over the front page news any more.

Really doesn't matter...I was just bored 
I think Charles will just abdicate and pass the line down....when it's time...unless Camilla changes his mind

Wasn't very subtle was I, Joe? I didn't have a list of felonies for the heads of office in the United Kingdom. That would make for interesting reading, wouldn't it? His royal highness wasn't voted in but that doesn't negate what he's culpable of. And as for your chances for running for congress..you couldn't do any worse. Sky's the limit, Joe |

| It is no wonder that congress voted to eliminate the words, "under God," from the Pledge of Allegiance. Seems like they have put themselves under the Devil. It is too bad too, because I have a sickening feeling that we are about to see a horrible past history come up from the depths and repeat itself. This time it will be our own country in the jaws of a destructive holocaust. What is worse, there will be noone to come to our aid. |

Yes, Charles is next in line although I very much doubt the Queen will abdicate unless very ill. Although I really deeply dislike the man, he has not been convicted of drunk driving, fraud etc and is not involved in drafting any laws for the rest of us to obey, so it is a bit different. |

| True, it's a bit different. But I didn't have a list of felonies committed by your govt. officials. I imagine that there are records available. I just don't have knowledge of the political parties nor their representatives or their misconduct. His highness came to mind because he has the most notariety. Thankyou to all for answering my question. |
