Lincoln and Abraham comparison

Here is that comparison:

--------------

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both Presidents' wives lost a child while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot while seated next to their wife.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both were shot in the head.

Lincoln's personal secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's personal secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners.
Both successors were named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are comprised of fifteen letters.

Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

One week prior to being assassinated, Lincoln visited Monroe, Maryland. One week prior to being assassinated, Kennedy visited Marilyn Monroe.

Lincoln was shot in the Ford Theatre and Kennedy was shot while in a Ford Lincoln.

--------------

Now the number of letters comparison is pretty stupid. Probably 41% of surnames contain 7 letters. And the assassins being known by their 3 names? Isn't that a media thing? How about Mark David Chapman? Did his friends (if he had any) call him Mark David? Doubt it.

hmm seen it in a book before. some of it kind of relies on the fact that Kennedy was killed by LHO though which is very debatable.

What is this, 3rd grade where your friend complains to the teacher because he got a cookie and you didnt? Who the hell cares why I got it, you act like getting a QP means your so special, really I could care less.

Also since obviously you dont live in the US, how can you appreciate US history? But really all this shows is people like you who always try to be little miss (or mr in your case) perfect so everyone will recognize them never get anything.

I always thought that avatar of yours looked like a baby, how well it rubs off on you.

Come on guys wherever he saw it, wherever it's from not everyone wants to trawl through god knows how many pages to find the other one. To a newbie this is useful, no matter how much it isn't to you guys

I just ment that the topic of the thread isn't right, I mean Abraham & Lincoln are the same person, so I was wondering why a thread with a wrong topic is a Quality Thread...

oh come on so he typed the topic wrong. Hardly a cardinal sin is it?

Give the guy a break, even though I'd seen it's content in a few books not everyone has so to bring it up for the new members here deserves a QP.

I read & studied every president because I was interested.

I find his topic amusing & find it quite more enlighting then naming thy next tune.

No offense I just love history so much & I enjoyed it & if I was a Mod i would of gave him a Q point too.
Is it jealousy because he got a point & you didnt because he flamed when he first came on.
Good for him.
This is a place for all respectable subjects not just kid stuff.

Yes I noticed my mistake in the name after I posted it but never bothered to edit it...besides just because I post something that doesn't involve a flame doesnt mean anything

Well, my view (which, of course, doesn't actually matter) is that you shouldn't be able to get a QP for something that isn't your own work (ie - e-mail forwards, stuff like this).  Otherwise, people could just recopy the first act of King Lear and be assured that it is easily in the top 2% of posts on HC.  However, that's the way the mods feel, more power to them and if somebody gets one for reposting something, more power to them as well.

well bort this has some logic, but at the same time this post and others like it bring to light a subject that others have not seen before. It saves people searching the web and also enlightens them on a subject they may never have considered before

There's a difference between railing against the too-rampant id10ts and whiners on the web, and acting like an ass to them just because you think you have that "this person's an idiot/whiner/luser" justification.  

Were it not for that, well... I like some of DM's posts, but I don't like the put-on, stuck-up, "I'm better than you are so I'll just shove it up your nose, you nitwit" attitude.  

But that's just my opinion...
