......RIP Brother John......... :12224

Rest easy, my friend!

Will Mark David Chapman be released anytime soon?

He has served over 30 years.

according to most reports he rejected his brief flirt with christainity and didnt follow Christ. my guess , and of course its only a guess is he isnt resting peacefully .

Good question! Chapman was a truly disturbed individual. I'm not sure what his frame of mind is now or even his ability to adapt to public life now.
Consider this abbreviated list of changes in mindset for anyone born since 1994-

Beloit College marks the start of new academic years by releasing its annual "mindset list" -- helping academics understand what their newest students didn't experience (except maybe from reading on Wikipedia) that may have shaped their professors. Some highlights of the new list, released today:

For the entering class, most born in 1994:

•Kurt Cobain, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Richard Nixon and John Wayne Gacy have always been dead.
•They have always lived in cyberspace, addicted to a new generation of “electronic narcotics.”
•If they miss "The Daily Show," they can always get their news on YouTube.
•Robert De Niro is thought of as Greg Focker's long-suffering father-in-law, not as Vito Corleone or Jimmy Conway.
•Bill Clinton is a senior statesman about whose presidency they have little knowledge.
•They have never seen an airplane “ticket.”
•For most of their lives, maintaining relations between the U.S. and the rest of the world has been a woman’s job in the State Department.
•Their folks have never gazed with pride on a new set of bound encyclopedias on the bookshelf.

you prob smoked alot of dope listening to ole John , and then continued your hippie days right thru adulthood . thats the kind of person you seem like. constantly stoned .

I did....and your point is ........Still can not admit when you are wrong......... ...classic md.........And now back to one of the greatest songwriters of all time..........Imagine............. :12224

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Living for today
Aha-ahh

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
Yoo-hoo-ooh

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
Yoohoo-Ooh

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

...and this explains a lot about your background, abuck...

...this explains how your "religion" is that of John Lennon instead of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

...the world is on its way to "living as one"...however, it is moving in the wrong direction...

Once again you show your lack of an ability to think deeper..........He uses the word imagine for a reason..........And my philosophy on life is similar to his........I am proud of that........ :12224

I know the reason he uses it.

...and this is where the hippie generation has led us...into a dream world.....

I call it a nightmare for our country!!!!!

Yea, I know......Things like old hippies finding cures for cancer, other alternative medicines that eastern cultures have been using for centuries, working for justice for all people, equality for all people, environmentalism by trying leave a smaller footprint on our planet, Nixon signing the EPA, organic foods , Voting age dropped to 18, civil rights, ended the Vietnam War, Water Pollution Control Act , Consumer Product Safety Commision established , Freedom of Information act passed, religious and cultural acceptance, rise of cooperatives of all kinds, just to name a few.............yea, those are some really bad things............Now I await you to come back with those dirty hippies and all of that bad old drug use and terrible music......... .................... :12224

I actually like the music. I was born in 1967 and listed to it all of the time.

I am referring more to the socially irresponsible acts that are now acceptable in our society that were once considered taboo.

Nonetheless, this is the mark the hippies will leave as the turning point in the history of the USA.

Well you were born too late to understand the movement...........And what taboo acts?...Having Womens rights now?...Minority rights now ?....Segregated schools?....Anti-miscegenation laws?........Internment camps for the Japanese Am, but not for German Am?.....Religious freesoms?...........Taboo?...wow, you need help........ :12224

Again, attack the issue, not me personally......I thought you were a teacher...

The breakdown of the family unit due to individuality..."if it feels good, do it"
Teenage pregnancies..."if it feels good, do it"
Education failures due to societal breakdowns.....

If you put your ideas out there, you should understand those beliefs will be examined......I have not attacked you, but your ideas.......Learn the difference........ :12224

And there have never been adultery or extra-marital sexual activity before now?....

Kentucky Trojan wrote:Teenage pregnancies

It is simply more open now to have a child...Before you went to your Aunts house who lived away from your home, had the baby and came home.......Abortions were performed to.......Nothing new here........

There are a myriad of reasons for this.....parents have to work two jobs to survive leaving children alone.... The governemnt interferring with educatrion with over testing, as you can weigh a pig ten times a day, but it is still a pig.......The loss of manufacturing jobs for young people to go into because of Corp. greed.......
