Man, you just voted for Hitler.  How sick are you?

Quoting:
You failed to mention that Candidate C was the only one with a criminal record.

And out of curiosity, would you advise Hitler's mom to have an abortion?

Give me a time machine and a pistol and I'll do it myself.

I was thinking...hindsight is 20-20.  So how do you know that if Hitler was aborted, another one wouldn't have taken his place?  Or Beethoven, for that matter...

As for the candidates...I guess leadership is much more than who you sleep with or how much you drink, it's about charisma.  Sad to say, all three of them had that charisma (including Hitler, which is what's sad).

This is splitting hairs when we are discussing something so serious, but there was a problem with the Titanic. The metal was substandard, and it was built with the idea of having more passengers i.e. more $$$$, so the design didn't work as it was supposed to. Not to mention that most of the life boats that it was built to hold were removed for asthetic value. The Captain's error was just the last in a chain of bad decisions.

And I think it would have been a great tragedy had there never been a Beethoven.  :'(

And even though he was a war veteran, he was the only one in his company who was not promoted... so much for the "decorated war hero" part. Candidate C was also a failed artist who blamed the Jews for his failures and published a book outlining the Jewish threat while in jail for inciting a riot.

As far as killing Hitler before his time of leadership goes... I think there would've been another guy to take his place, and, who knows? This other guy might have turned out to be a better military strategist and less impulsive. Germany was just ripe for such a leader and such a situation. There are many raminifications to that thought, but it almost seems inevitable to end at the same result.

Now, the abortion of Beethoven is a crime, but like Rice Cube wrote, there might have been some other musical genius to take his place. We can all look retrospectively. We know the works of Beethoven already, so we gasp at the idea if they were all to disappear to-morrow. There's also the possibility that some other woman, around the time of Beethoven's birth, had an abortion and that one might have turned out to be better than Beethoven, but we ended up with Ludwig Van. His mother made an excellent choice, but she did have a choice...

Btw, these same questions were in the letters to the editor section of The Orange County Register and, I think, Dear Abby.

I'm not certain about those publications you just mentioned, except to say they were not the source for this post.  8)  :)


Thanks to all for your interest!
