All of those are hilarious (especially dictatorship) , however I think fascism, Russian Communism and dictatorship should have the same answer as dictatorship, as they were all as evil as the other grin2.gif

FEMINISM - You have two cows. Both complain that they aren't paid and aren't treated the same as bulls. So you do what everyone is thinking. You kill them, turn them into hamburgers, then give it to the vegetarians, telling them that they are "veggie" burgers. And when they are finished eating, you tell them what they are really made of..... devil.gif

CANADIAN DEMOCRACY

you have two cows, the government has told you they will subsidize you to get more cows, you build the barn, clear the land, go back to the government for the money they promised and find out they spent 200 billion on gum, and have no money left for you, you then think the best thing to do would be to take the cows south to the states, but the americans won't let your cows in.
