Some people. Not in general. Percentagewise just a few.Quote:

It is impossible to understand why some people think of Napoleon as a great military genius. He was a consummated idiot. The nations he won over in Europe were poor ones, outnumbered in almost every way. Then, against the lessons of history, of which he apparently knew diddly, he invaded Russia. And to show his lack of military ability, in Waterloo, he confronts a master, Wellington, with the strategy of an idiot. Napoleon a great military genius? He used to tell Josephine to bathe in the stable with the horses' excrement to please him when they met in bed. ~ C A Cafolini
It is easy to judge past personalities on what they did, but it seems critical to base ones decision on WHY they did so.Quote:

Patriotic quote isnt it? Well these words are not originally of JFK himself but he was quoting a quote from one of the works of Khalil Gibran, (Lebanese origin) which appeared more than 35 years before he used it in his inaugural speech. We cannot blame JFK for plagiarism because he never ever in his life ever mentioned that this quote was his own.Quote:

In the past whenever humanity underwent an incident of catastrophic nature, the only question engraved on the minds of the victims was ,WHY? Why they had to suffer too much from man himself? They did not have time for trivial queries like HOW WHEN WHAT and WHERE but surely these questions must be/are valuable for historians, whose concerns are not for the destruction of the emotional fraternity of Man by Man himself, so that is the most probable reason why WHY was not accounted for anywhere.Quote:

Gibran's quote is okay, but JFK's was his own and didn't look at all like Gibran's. The actual speech by JFK was in general, to the public, and it is displayed in the upper front of the headquarters in Fort Gordon, Georgia: Do not ask what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. It is very different than what Gibran said to politicians, where Gibran's applies very well. JFK's is a most Catholic BS to the people. If you don't ask what your country can do for you, what do you want government for? These and many other issues were probably the assassination cause. For it is precisely the Catholic representative in govrerment that protestants couldn't stand, nor do I, personally. Get your facts straight before you endorse JFK stuff on a sensical man like Gibran. If you want to endorse something probable on JFK and his protectorate, endorse the death of Marilyn and say with her "happy birthday mr ****sident." Good day!!Quote:

Kirby Larson,
This has to be one of the stupidest things anyone has ever said, and cements my dislike for Austen even more. I'm going to be torn apart for saying this but I don't care...Pride and Prejudice is FAR from a decent novel let alone a good one, the characters are all shallow and one dimensional and the fact that she is praised more than Dickens and Thackeray is appalling, considering that they wrote great books and she wishes she was a real author. She was just another absolutely despicable feminist.Quote:
