WATERGATE!!!!!!!


[sarcasm] Sure JFK was the worst [/sarcasm] he was in Luther King side, he fought racism, was for human rights and tried to solve the cold war in a better way...big reasons to dislike him and say he's the worst... *sigh*

Oh sure sure, let's just forget about how JFK made things worse in Cuba....


worse? JFK stared down the commies! major respect for that one!


Yeah like the bay of pigs! Sweet move. Really stared em down then.

Vietnam was a sweet decision too.

Re: Best/worst Presidents of the United States

JFK might have been bluffing, but had war broken out things were already in the MAD stage (MAD=MutuallyAssuredDestruction). being ready for war is pointless when you and the enemy will wipe one another from the planet before troops can be deployed. Anyway, it's the fact that he was willing to at least bluff that says something.

But I will give you the Bay of Pigs debacle.... :shock:

Oh, and JFK only sent advisers to Vietnam. It was Lyndon Johnson who actually started sending combat troops over.
political correctness is a doctrine fostered by an illogical liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mass media that holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I believe gun control is being able to hit your target.

JFK assassinated the South Vietnamese president who was possibly going to negotiate neutrality, millions of lives could have been saved if he wasn't so afraid of communism in third world nations.

that's the thing about assassination: it changes those popularity polls in a big ******* hurry.

Re: Best/worst Presidents of the United States

the problem is the d***cracy. it requires ppl to be political and have some opinion. since most of them are political/economical/legal morons their votings are mostly stupid. that's why the world is crap. and under democracy it'll become even worse.
the only situation when it can become better is when worse is no longer possible.

To be honest the very fact he is a politician makes him the Devil's spawn, I am by no means political and don't plan to be, ever


I think he was just messing around, if he really believes that it is foolish but I took it as a joke :P Once you join the Democrats you too will see that we are infallible, and borderline holy.

Corran I'm not a big fan of the democratic process, and would much prefer to have a some kind of government where intelligent people rule (some kind of meritocracy or oligarchy).
