[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe they really are cursed. [/quote]

They aren't cursed. [b] They're privileged and careless[/b].[/quote]

I agree with you pp.  It is also because they are famous that we know anything that happens to them[/quote]

IDK.

They are some other famous families that you don't hear crazy things about - Bushes, Waltons, Vanderbuilts.

In my mother's lifetime - the Kennedys have had two people shot and killed, three people (only including blood members) die in a plane crash, one person die in a boat crash, one person kill someone in a motor vehicle accident (Ted - not including his cancer bcs that could happen to anyone), a death in a skiing accident, at least one death by suicide, and two deaths by drugs.

Honestly -- its the sort of thing that makes one believe in curses. Which is sad because as a family they've done so much for this country.

I don't think they're cursed. They are a family that loves physical activity and adventure and they have the money to pursue it. Thus living on the water, affording to fly a plane, skiing. [b]And unfortunately, political assassinations/attempts are not uncommon in this country.[/b] [/quote]

Umm I’d argue they’re very rare. Especially compared to areas of South America and the Eastern bloc.

Only two Presidents out of 45 shot and killed plus one wounded.

I never hear of Congressional reps being murdered either. Death threats online, yes. But actual targeted and successful attempts? No.[/quote]

Two out of 45? I can think of at least 4: McKinley, Garfield, Lincoln, Kennedy. Am I missing anyone? Gabriel Giffords wasn’t killed but she was certainly targeted.[/quote]
