The only reason people would be ashamed of it is because adults try to make it out to be a disease. If you have ADD and are continuously told that it's going to hinder your educational experience, what makes you think you'd be able to get over it just by concentrating?

I for one would exploit ADD as much as I could.

Exactly, the soul can easily flow with the words tainted with good just as much as words tainted with bad. The power of the mind is unstoppable...

I think A.D.D. exists. I have a syndrome myself (related to Aspergers). I have often wondered if it exists, or if it is just a classification of a type of personality. Aspergers can cause some problems, particularly in the context of socialising. These can be overcome if you really step out of your comfort zone.

Which reminds me of a joke.

Why was JFK horrible at boxing?
















Because he couldn't take a head shot.

There are a lot of things wrong with the post above me. For starters, it's not funny. Secondly, it's spam. Thirdly, it's disrespectful to one of the only decent presidents this country has had in the past 50 years.

I'm pretty sure the only decent thing he did, was spend money on Medicare, and spend more money on NASA. (Sarcasm) Also, he failed with the Bay of Pigs. (Although I respect the fact that he tried to cut taxes, I disagree with his government intervention plan to prevent a recession.)

And, as for the spammishness of my post, the headshot post reminded me of it, which, in itself was off-topic.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't president long enough for it to be determined that he was a good one. All he did was pick a good time to die, so that now people think he was great by default.

The head shot post responded directly to another point in the conversation. Conversations naturally drift.

The Bay of Pigs Invasion wasn't spearheaded by Kennedy. Eisenhower's administration created the plan to overthrow Castro and the invasion with help from the CIA. All Kennedy did was say "go ahead." Can't place all the blame on him.

Lol. Nice one, "picked a time to die". You get a rep for that.

And seriously, was the Bay of Pigs not enough to prove his inability?

Kennedy was in office for nearly three years. That's almost an entire term. That's hardly picking a "good time to die." Also, there have been a number of polls that American citizens chose Kennedy as "the greatest president." While I don't agree with that, it goes to show a lot of people supported him and he was a popular president.

I'd like to see these polls please.

And either way, some Americans supported, and still support Bill Clinton. Obviously they were misinformed. So people can't be trusted, just because of what they believe.

Here are two polls.

Quote:
C-SPAN asked viewers in 1999 to rank the presidents, and 1,145 people participated. The results of the viewer survey were similar to the results of the 1999 C-SPAN historian survey, with a few notable difference
  1. Abraham Lincoln
  2. George Washington
  3. Theodore Roosevelt
  4. Franklin D. Roosevelt
  5. Thomas Jefferson
  6. Ronald Reagan
  7. Harry S. Truman
  8. Dwight D. Eisenhower
  9. James Monroe
  10. James Madison
  11. John Adams
  12. John F. Kennedy
  13. Woodrow Wilson
  14. Andrew Jackson
  15. John Quincy Adams
  16. George H.W. Bush
  17. James Polk
  18. William McKinley
  19. Lyndon Baines Johnson
  20. Richard Nixon
Quote:
An ABC News poll about presidential greatness, taken 16-20 February 2000, asked 1012 adults nationwide, "Who do you think was the greatest American president?"
  1. Abraham Lincoln (19%)
  2. John Kennedy (17%)
  3. Franklin Roosevelt (11%)
  4. No opinion (10%)
  5. Ronald Reagan (9%)
EDIT: Also, the Rasmussen Reports showed that John F. Kennedy was 80% favorable.
