By my standards, Papa is in a league with the likes of Einstein.LancsLad said:How do you explain Papa then???????
My principle had a strip of kevlar like material that left the hands stinging for hours after the deed was done.Mcluhan said:hehe..another thing we have in common, both bad little bastards. It was a badge of honour in my school of course. (sting is the word
ahh..a real pervert eh? Nothing like a man who enjoys his work! lollookingforitallthetime said:
The autopsy was indeed botched and the fact that it was conducted in Washington by naval surgeons instead of in Dallas (which it legally should have been) by trained coroners lends toward a cover up. The most significant murder of the century and the autopsy wasn't even performed by a coroner.dreamer said:
As for Jack Ruby, he was far more significant than you are allowing. Not because he played a big role in the operation, but because of his mob ties and the fact he assassinated the only person who had the desire and means to bring the whole thing crashing down.
You believe what you want. I doubt we will change each other's minds. In the meantime, I have no doubt that a coup d'état took place on November 22, 1963.
He definately enjoyed his work...lol.Mcluhan said:
The funny thing is, I never worried about the strap as long as my parents didn't find out.
The punishment at home was far worse.
I fail to see why it is surprising that the assassination of a president would treated differently than a local murder. The law was changed after the assassination that the autopsy of a president is a federal responsibility.lookingforitallthetime said:
As for cover ups, I agree that is what governments do, but where we differ is what is covered up.
Again, just look at Ruby's timeline of activities before he shot Oswald. Did Ruby himself confirm your theory?
I have read many conspiracy theories and they all twist facts, take things out of context and leave things out.
I cannot say if there was a conspiracy or not, however I have yet to read or hear a conspiracy theory that stands up to scrutiny.
Correct. The federal law was initiated because of the events that occurred that day in Dallas. Since at the time of the assassination there was no federal law overturning a state law, the murder of a president had no special legal considerations. In Texas, the law clearly stated that the autopsy of a murder victim must be performed within the state. Therefore, the removal of Kennedy's body was illegal.dreamer said:
Also consider this: while the body was being wheeled out of Parkland Memorial, a hospital administrator tried to stop the secret service but he was pushed away.
If you can't ackowledge Oswald's murder was a classic example of an attempt to tie up loose ends, look further into his history. Look beyond the timeline of activities that occurred the day he shot Oswald.dreamer said:
I'm not a conspiracy nut and don't get fooled easily. Of the most commonly known conspiracy theories, this is the only one that I consider to be credible.dreamer said:
I'm not alone. In 1979, The House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that the Kennedy assassination was the result of a probable conspiracy.
Not all conspiracy theorists wear tinfoil hats.
Well, at least you seem reasonablelookingforitallthetime said:
True enough, but they still concluded that Oswald fired three shots and two of them hit their target. They assigned a high probablity that a fourth shot was fired from the grassy know based on acoustical analysis. Scientists have to assign probabilities and it is accepted that the sound evidence could be just random noises. I would assign a lower probability by taking into account the probability that the alleged shooter from the grassy knoll would miss at such a close range and there is no physical evidence of a fourth bullet.No its not that. OTB does not have (unfortunately) a inkling about what was lost in '63. DQ does, Pecker does. I do.dreamer said:Conspiracy theories never seem to die
OTB is cold. Winning is everything.
We live in a past life, of what could have been. We are family, standing over a grave with some flowers in hand, and a tear in our eye. its a memory, a noble feeling of something once great, lost. He cannot share.
OTB is cynical, not a true patriot. The danger? He imagines that he is.
He is a carpetbagger who sold out the heart of the dream. Not his to sell.
We see the danger for what it is. He cannot see what we see. Cannot know.
The fact that he might be a prick on occasion is entirely insignificant, except to him.

What a smug Canadian ass you can be.Mcluhan said:
Kennedy had the benefit (like his girlfriend) of dying young and thus will always be remembered that way. There was no opportunity for him to screw up, to be exposed for stealing the election...... but if you want to live in the past be my guest.
OTB
Kennedy did screw up.onthebottom said:
What seperated him from others who've made (and are still making) big mistakes is that he acknowledged them.
Howard Hunt before he died said there was a group of Corsican snipers recruited for the job by the mafia.
No worries OTB, your reputation as the King of Smug is in no way threatened by the likes of me.onthebottom said:
Btw.. I've noticed you knocking the Canadian character a lot lately. Is there some reason for that? Maybe hitting on the French is not as politically correct these days and you need a new whipping boy; or are you just feeling more nasty than usual....
...just for being smug...onthebottom said:
So about the Canadian bashing? What's that all about? .. waiting for that reply
I think OTB likes to take shots just to get a rise out of us.
he knows that once truly pissed off, real Canadians are ruthlessly efficient at eliminating an annoyance.
Last time they pissed us off 1812-14 they got a big surprise. they won't make that mistake again.
