Morality Test
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving
an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. No one else
will know, so you won't be fooling anyone but yourself if you give
anything but a truthful answer. The test features an unlikely, completely
fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember
that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please read slowly
and thoughtfully, giving due consideration to each line.
Here's the situation:
You are in New Orleans. There is chaos all around you caused by
Hurricane Katrina. You are a photojournalist working for a major
newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this disaster. The
situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making
photos.
There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under
the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his
life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer...
somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is.... It's
George W. Bush, President of the United States! At the same time you
notice that the raging waters are about to take him under... forever. You
have two options - you can save the life of G.W. Bush, or you can shoot a
dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of
the world's most powerful men.
So here's the question, and please give an honest answer:
Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the
classic simplicity of black and white?

Secondly, that joke has been around since 1751 using a variety of presidents, their wives and other celebrities as the "evil" victim of drowning.
Please, please get some up-to-date material for gawd's sake.

It has to be a joke, like GW would be anywhere near a disaster (his presidency aside)

You think morally it is OK to spend $300 billion dollars to rebuild a country rich in oil and 5000 miles away and spend only $25 rebuilding Louisina and Alabama. You think that morally it is OK for lies to have killed over 2000 allied soldiers.
Morally it is OK to destroy the planet by not doing anything about global warming and give tax incentives to those destroying it. Morally it is OK to pass a tax burden of $100billion onto future generations by keeping taxes low for the rich. You think its morally OK to give jobs to unqualified people because they are your friends.
If we are going by the morals of the republican party, then yes it is funny

If you're not outraged by what's going on, then you're not paying attention.

I love it when someone is so blinded by their beleifs they have no room for the truth. Apparently God told GW to go to war, you obviously consider that acceptable!
