Wow,I would have voted for Hitler and Beethvens' ass would be dead...Just goes to show you that you can't judge a book by it's cover.

you can't judge a book by it's cover.

Oh yeah? Watch me.

Making decisions based on percentages of probability is called profiling. Profiling is used almost everywhere in daily life as a means to help automatically fill-in-the-blanks where our experience and knowledge lacks. Many people herald pofiling tactics as barbaric and ignorant, but what's the alternative, really? While there are always exceptions to every rule, basing decisions on the exceptions rather than the norms is the very definition of stupidity. In short, it would be completely ineffective as a means of making anything but the poorest of decisions.

Choosing to be liberal in all decisions just to avoid profiling anyone is just as moronic as dealing with a headache by slamming your head agaisnt the wall in an attempt to render yourself unconscious because you discovered there's a possible minor health risk associated with aspirin.

Choosing to save a life BECAUSE it has a high degree of probability of being malformed will always be the dumb ass, retarded, fuckhead call to make. I don't give a fuck HOW many Beethoven's there are in the bunch.

That's a lot of words to say you'd be wrong if you believed in it.
