Q2: It is time to elect the world leader, and your vote
counts.

Here are the facts about the three leading candidates:


* Candidate A

o 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

o He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium
in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.



* Candidate C

o He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke,
drinks an occasional beer and hasn't had any extramarital
affairs.




Which of these candidates would be your choice?

Decide first, then vote on who you would choose, I will give there names a little bit later on in the day... good luck.

I think this says a lot about how we are so dumb in picking out leaders. We tend to choose the ones with certain hair colours or un-important personal prefrences. I will reveal the names of each of the three candidates later on tonight.

I read this before - it's one of those goddamn junk/chain emails everyone sends. - the first two are someone like Washington and Lincoln, and the third one's someone akin to Hitler . . ..

Boo- urns to you, OP; Boo-urns I say.

Interesting choice.

Yeah, I mean, using doesn't equal abusing, getting kicked out of office means he's not held by every rule, and drinking whiskey makes you a real man :)

The archlibertarian politics teacher I got whipped this out the first day of class. :p

It's a nice example of propaganda- focus on certain trees and ignore the forest. There isn't enough information to make an informed decision about A, B, or C.

You list only negatives about A and B, and only positives about C. We need more information.

I am fairly certain I know who A is, though. :p

Yeah for candidate C they leave out the potential affair and murder with his niece Geli Raubal and his early flirtation with anti-semitism on the streets of Vienna while in his late teens just to name a couple of his lesser known negatives.

Yes, PLEASE!

This is just a stupid riddle thread who's purpose is to "open your eyes" by making everyone who made obvious choice of C feel dumber than dirt when the OP "enlightens" them later in the day.

It doesn't open anyone's eyes since 99% of the needed information for such a question is left out.

Who the ****** would vote a person into the most powerful position in the world from reading just a couple of facts about them?

pathetic.
