Who would you rather live next door to...

Hitler or Stalin?

A friend of the family recently got this question sprung upon them in an interview for Oxford University; I thought it'd be a fun thing to try, so feel free to use as eccentric reasoning as you wish for purposes of making this work.

I don't know much about Stalin. But if you're gonna pick between mass murderers then homophbia and anti-semetism would rather put me off. Stalin? Was he those things as well?

I think Hitler. I'd encourage him more in choosing art as a career path.

yeah, pretty much.

Me and Uncle Joe would get on so well I think, it'd be down the pub then back to his every night :cool:

This time we'll bloody do things right.

Hitler, because of the fun he'd have trying to second-guess my racial background and beliefs.

Hitler. He was a bit uptight, but had some decent speech-making software, which I would like to borrow.

Hitler, as he always had large supplies of booze, morphine and bugle on standby for a hard nights partying. Hey, if you don't talk politics he could be quite a party animal.

Ahhh, me and Hitler, good times...I mean...****e! My name is Mr. Hoering...

They're both short and ugly - who'd want to **** them? Now Idi Amin, there was a fine specimen of a man - ex-prize fighter, you know.

Ha ha.

"No, Adolf, you really are a great painter, this stuff is gooooood, not run-o-the-mill at all". "But maybe you could tone down the shouting, I mean, you're a little loud, you know?"

You're jumping to conclusions. :p:

I doubt it. There are a thousand and one apocryphal stories of 'weird questions' being asked at interview. None of them are true.

Oh gosh, let me guess... he had a toothbrush mustache? I know so many old Indian people who had them because it was in vogue until the 1970's.

I would personally prefer living next door to Hitler. After all, you can't go wrong with Austrians.

preferably neither, but if i *had* to choose one, it'd be stalin because i didn't learn anything about him in school history/am ignorant of his atrocities so i can live a somewhat carefree existence
