where were you when President Kennedy was assasinated?<br><br>I was sitting in my 5th grade class when came a knock at the door. My teacher kind of stood half-in half-out of the doorway while listening to another teacher as she whispered what was going on. <br><br>I was living in Sault Ste. Marie, MI and was bussed to school in a town called Rudyard.<br><br>That, was the day that changed my life forever! Nothing ever seemed right with the world after that. <br><br>It was the first time I ever seen my dad cry and I do believe me mother went mad. My mom, who was from Dublin married an American serviceman, and no doubt held Mr. kennedy in pretty high esteem! Yes sir. I do believe she hitch her hopes and dreams on this rising young political star only to have it all fall apart.<br><br><br><br>"640K ought to be enough for anybody." - Bill Gates

President Kennedy was assasinated? OMG! <br><br>[color:blue]Um cumin' fo ya!</font color=blue>

Maybe Mr. Schwarzenegger can follow the Kennedy tradition?<br><br>[color:blue]Um cumin' fo ya!</font color=blue>

That's a very uncool, thing to say — even as a joke. Not only is it a slap to Kennedy's memory, but what did Schwarzenegger ever do to you?<br><br>

I was walking home from highschool, and some friends drove by and broke the news to me. It hit me pretty hard, though it took a few days for it to really sink in.<br><br>I just wish the freakin' media would let it lie already, instead of using it as a ratings tool.<br><br>

With great respect to Kennedy. (Whom was shot twice). grassy knoll... CIA, orders from EJH<br>Arnie and JFK had one thing in common... rumours of womanising.<br>not that this worries Arnie but JFK was a 'good' Catholic.<br><br>and lets face it .. if you had to wake up to Arnie as governor would not you be wondering how to alter that scenario?<br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br> "Behold the Turtle, he maketh no progress ==== until he sticketh out his neck." <br>-----------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, Kennedy was known to be a womanizer, as is Schwarzenneger. And both are reputed to have had other dubious dealings and associations. Hardly angels, but hardly Saddam Hussien wannabe's. <br><br>But assasination is/was justafiable in both cases in your view? <br><br>Eeeeeeookee-dokie there, TB. Remind me not to get on your bad side (if I'm not already)...<br><br>

I guess I'm uncool, I don't have any feelings towards JFK. That's all I wanted to express. I wasn't even born when he died.<br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Not only is it a slap to Kennedy's memory, but what did Schwarzenegger ever do to you?<p><hr></blockquote><p>If you fail to see the connection between them, read this:<br><br>"When Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected last month as California's new governor - perhaps in part on the glitz and glamour of his ties to the Kennedy family - Sen. Edward Kennedy offered a telling remark. "What better proof could there be that America really is a nation of immigrants?" Kennedy asked in a prepared statement, a reference to Schwarzenegger's all-American, up-by-the- bootstraps immigration story.<br> <br> But his observation had a further resonance - one that holds the key to understanding the most profound and longest-lasting legacy of John F. Kennedy's presidency. "A Nation of Immigrants" is the title of a small book written by Kennedy shortly before his 1960 election as U.S. president. It is a work largely ignored by journalists and biographers blinded by the Camelot image, but one that would ultimately - and quite literally - change the face of America."<br><br>[color:green]One man's compost is another man's potpourri.</font color=green>

You didn't hurt my feelings. But as you say, you weren't even on the planet during the Kennedy admin. Kinda limits your ability to draw a fair conclusion. And as skeevy as both men are reputed to be or have been, wishing them dead is a bit over the top, and just a wee bit immature. Just my .02. Take it or leave it.<br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>But assasination is/was justafiable in both cases in your view?<p><hr></blockquote><p>Oh, now I got what you meant by your comment few posts earlier! I didn't mean assasination at all. I meant that Arnold can follow the good path in politics by becoming a president and doing good stuff like JFK. Of course, no way I want Arnold to be assasinated.<br><br>[color:green]One man's compost is another man's potpourri.</font color=green>
