That may be, but the car was not traveling left to right, but away from. That is not much harder than a stationary shot. With the limo traveling about 10MPH, that isn't very fast at all. Remember that there were Secret Service Agents that caught the car after the shots were fired before it sped off to the hospital.

You're kidding me? The shooter was a ex-Marine and it's difficult to shoot a moving target to begin with. As I'm aware, there were three shots with two successful shots on JFK - the back and the head. Also consider the speed of the vehicle and the distance from the apartment Oswald was in and the target.

This isn't to brag about Oswald's skill at shooting but to say he didn't display an talent or skill with a rifle is false.

Why do schools make students read books? The books that are assigned in school are incredibly boring. I have no problem with reading in general and if reading books is a hobby of your that is fine. Its just that the books that schools make students read are so incredibly boring. What makes the "classics" classics? Some of the books that students have to read in school aren't even English. Old English is barely English at all, they feel like completely different languages. I don't see why students can't learn from some other form of media such as movies, television, or video games. All of those each feature sophisticated plots, characters and symbols. As I am sure most of you on this website might agree or feel similarly, I feel like I learn better when I am actually doing rather than listening. When I read the words in a book, it just slips right past me. In one ear and out the other. But when I play a video game and experience what is happening for myself, it clicks in my brain and I don't just remember it, I learn it. Similarly, when I watch a movie, I see exactly why is happening, so I don't miss any important details.

I understand some people like reading and that some people learn very well from reading, but why can't schools use movies and video games as well to teach students? Or perhaps at the least, video games can be used to supplement teaching. For example, I was playing the Assassin's Creed games at the same time I was learning about the Byzantine Empire in my World History class. Playing through the game and actually climbing the Hagia Sophia and killing the Borgias and exploring the Colisseum, when I learned about all those things in class, I was making connections that really made me more interested in what I was learning, and that helped me learn and do better on the tests. I think schools should implement methods of teaching through video games and movies and put less emphasis on books.

What does everyone else think?

[QUOTE="LOXO7"]No they don't. They state ignorance.airshocker

Only if you disagree with them.

You have fun with that. People on this site understand the different political wings. No need to throw a monkey wrench into things.

I agree completely. Taxes are just like everything in life, you got to have balance. Serraph105

Keep going there will be another one, just like in the US. It was SOPA now it's CISPA. But I think this is higher on the scale of importance.

I can't wait for that rat to be sent back to Sweden, then hopefully the US. I don't get why people follow/support this website? seriously they're just a load of crooks stealing information, and people are giving them free advertising and giggling away because random people are getting embarrassed. Are people that childish? :|

What makes me think if it were private/embarrassing information about you being leaked suddenly you would change your tune. I'm sure some people would still support this guy even after he's been convicted of rape and sexual assault, unless he manages to run away to/buy his way into Ecuador of course, he's such a noble figure :roll:
