B) I suggest that you actually RESEARCH these questions before posting
them. You would find that this oft repeated example is just a load of
bullshit.

Other than the fact that you can find good things and bad things about
just about anybody, Hitler was NOT a vegetarian; he only tried it
briefly. And, although he was not married, he DID have affairs; the
statement is close to a lie. 

Here's a question for you: An acquaintance of mine refused to wear a
tie to work, and was fired. But lots of other people who had the same
position as he had refused to wear a tie to work, but were not fired.
Was he fired unfairly? Why or why not?
