The Sad Truth

***Alcar*** · #1 03-14-2003, 02:36 AM

This was an email my father showed me that was sent to him from some work mates:

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 cheques

117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

3 have done time for assault

71 cannot get a credit card 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 drink driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group of people that are deciding whether or not to go to war!

True but you would think people like this wouldn't be aloud in these positions.

By the way, this is my last post for two - three weeks as I am moving. Please don't let Halo fanatics run wild guys.
Seeyas!

All that may be true but i dont see how that'd effect their judgement on important issues. Its like saying just because i'm manipulative, Bisexual, family-hating, heavy-drinking, camp, shallow and have high standards i cant make rash judgements, when i can...

KILL THE UGLY PEOPLE!!

Exactly... Their still smart people, and many of those probably overlap. Its true, this whole war thing sucks, but people are trying to find any reason to bash it now.

The thing I hate about politics is that the only people in that profession or wanting to be in it are losers. Good people are content to with "normal" lives and so it is the creeps that rise to power.

I may be taking Politics next year. Im not interested in being a Politician but it would be cool to argue over certain stuff...

Fax, I know you and I get along most of the time, actually all the time basically. But you have to admit you were just asking for trouble with that statement.

Oh and these statistics don't suprise me much. Being our President's highschool, and act scores etc. Were extremely poor, and he still got into harvard just because of his father. Oh well it shows once again how much of the world is based on corruption, backstabbing, and poor ethics.
