My friend was telling me how the world is being completely screwed up by men (she's right on that part) and challenged me to name one women who caused some sort of major disastor. Her question intrigued me so I decided to see how many I could find. I've only got a couple so far:
Helen of Troy-the Trojan War
Hurricane Katrina(that one's a stretch)-New Orleans Disaster
Typhoid Mary-Typhoid epidemic in New York
Mrs. O'Leary-Chicago Fire (it's possible it was her cow though)
Any ideas people?
Thanks for your help to all who answer!

It seems to be that the recent popularity for the democrats (as presidential candidates) is based on an a merely EMOTIONAL reaction the state of US affairs under the Bush presidency....

My question is specifically addressed to those who want to replace the Bush presidency with another presidency that happens to be Democrat:

Why do you think that Bush must be replaced by a democrat?
HOW is it that a TOTALLY different president and administration (that say, happens to be republican) be a continuation of Bush presidency?

Bush's faults in Iraq and Katrina had nothing to do with him being a republican, and much to do with an arrogant man, a delusional man, a man that has a poor capacity to organize (think of the intellect of a chess player...well, that ain’t Bush)...What is the thinking behind this pro-democrat sentiment (as a reaction to Bush)...Is it that they think that all Dems are inherently less delusional & arrogant and thus all problems caused by presidential arrogance & ineptitude can be reversed?

Therefore, isn't this latest flop to Dem popularity just an emotional over reaction (To a "republican") on the part of the USA people, or does the rationale go deeper?

[Republican, Democrat, makes no difference to me, I JUST WANT WHAT’S BEST FOR AMERICA, AND I’M JUST TRYING TO GET REAL ANSWERS ABOUT THE LATEST POPULAR SENTIMENT]

Today I heard the most prominent NBC reporters giving their opinions on what are the duties of the candidates for president. The first thing that came to my mind was that those reporters are employees of NBC/GE corporation. They are not independent thinkers free to tackle any issue. Some issues are off limits to them and the scope of those issues they tackle is also limited. They are also more concerned with the show and their advertisers than they are with the issues that concern the American people.

One of Bodem's other children told police that she thought Bodem was buying shoes online when Bodem was downstairs with them, because Bodem had broken a pair. The child said she thought that Bodem had been away from the tub for about 20 minutes and that they had all heard Cecelia and her brother laughing in the tub. The child told police that they heard Cecelia crying and that shortly afterwards, the son came downstairs and said, "Mom...."

With the recent announcement by the Prime Minister that he intends to open many more faith schools in the UK over the next few years in order to help repair our 'broken society' and the announcement today that the Labour Party are going to use the tax system to promote a good christian marriage:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7042780.stm

Is it not the case that christianity is reasserting itself as the main force in British social and political life and as such will help to improve the moral fabric of our society?

In some instances I think it makes sense, being that it was for the poor, but sometimes I am just not sure. Your opinion?

Anyone with half a brain knows they are guilty and there's video too prove it but how can anyone believe the 14 year olds death wasn't caused by him being beaten by them? I guess that's what happens in the south they turn the other cheek and even when there's video to prove it they go back to their ignorant ways or maybe the jury was blinded with racism. Whatever it was all the jury members should go out of the world like that 14 year old kid beaten and broken! Our jury system is pathetic!

I can see no reason for your bitterness. They have lost their daughter and are trying to get her back . what are you all doing to help other than attacking them and making slurs? You are mean. All of you have an opinion but none of you know what really happened so stop making things up and leave them alone.

Are all people of that faith your brother or sister?
If so -if those persons claiming to be of your faith were murderers or rapists,etc ---would they still be of your faith or your brother/sister?
How does it work--if someone commits an evil act--do you disassociate them from your religion-or embrace them and forgive?
