Also, the line "no religion too" pisses me off. Religion is not a bad thing. Religion is something that causes great things and great happiness over and over.

Never heard of the guy. But I mean seriously, he sung some songs. That doesn’t make him great. He didn't die for any cause. He's just a performer. No better than any other average guy. It's sad that he died, but people who died for an actual cause like a policemen or a soldiers deserve to be remembered much more than a singer. Being killed takes no bravery. Willingly putting yourself in a position where you may die takes bravery. Heroes are people who are who do brave things for a worthy causes, not people who sing and get lots of money.

Doesnt mean he wasnt a good person and doesnt deserve to be remembered.

But in todays society its sad that people know more about celebrities than about things that actually matter.

FOR EXAMPLE

See, that quote was taken horribly out of context. Lennon may have said some idiotic things, but that wasn't one of them.

I would have posted about it, but I have dial-up right now and can only post at night.

You know what disgusts me in this world is that there was more on John Lennon's death then there was on Pearl Harbor, and Pearl Harbor is a bigger catastrophe.

It took me a minute to figure out what this was meaning.

I seriously spent a minute thinking "Did Potter's Bar happen in December?".

HA!
