Anderson Cooper Reflects On Brothers' Suicide

[buttersyrupnpancakes]

i wanna hug him. :) i'm sad Yoko still feels bad about John's death. she's always seemed so strong to me.

[Bertiefy]

@putittogether That's the worst insult of John I ever read. In four sentences you call him a coward, a grinch and a republican. What's next? He listened to Wings while having sex with a Nixon-doll?

[putittogether]

@Bertiefy Jane you ignorant slut, he was a Republican supporter, and he was afraid that the commies and socialist fascist would find out he supported freedom. They had a well deserved reputation for violence, and did not want to place his family in danger.

[Bertiefy]

@putittogether Who the hell is Jane?

[putittogether]

@Bertiefy  Jane you ignorant slut- /watch?v=k80nW6AOhTs

[Bertiefy]

@putittogether I don't have the time to play with copy and paste. I'm too busy trying to figure out how you can be a fascist and a communist at the same time? Read a lot of history, do you? Try reading about the Spanish Civil war before you mix up any more words.

[putittogether]

@Bertiefy You are dumber than a bag of hammers, I said "afraid that the commies and socialist fascist" Is that all you got, you sound like a brainwashed victim.

[putittogether]

John Lennon was a REPUBLICAN, he believed in LOW TAXES, a small government, and FREEDOM. He was terrified that word would get out amongst the commies and fascist hippies of his time, and he did not want to cause damage to that income stream for his friends (former band members)

[HPislegend248]

@putittogether So? Who cares what he was? And seeing as he wasn't even American, he wouldn't have been able to vote Republican anyway, or even be Republican in the traditional American sense of it. PLus I'm pretty sure Republicans then and now would disown him on sight so its a moot point in the end.

[garycalgary]

Anderson put himself in dangerous positions to understand people and I think his brother's suicide had a lot to do with what he chose. He continues to search for his own answers in other people

[diamondgryphon]

I love how Anderson is so gentle....yet he's fearless in sharing such an important moment.

[elitestar]

she sounds like shes losing her mind

[rycka1983]

Damn, she's nuts.

[pink2bluee]

=/ why did he kill himself, if that's not too personal.

[NoirFilleChante]

@pink2bluee he was depressed.

[NoirFilleChante]

@pink2bluee he was deeply dperessed.

[alternative10000]

aw poor anderson :(

[iHacksorzz]

I can sympathize with anderson cooper but yoko ono is a stupid superficial cunt.

[Shelby596]

@bwmcmaste No, you idiot.

[celuichoisiun]

It's nice to see that Yoko's still a hippie.

[izamedz]

hahahahaaha so STUPID

[casperado666]

people lokking for reasons everywhere. our existence makes no fuckn sense. get over it.

[MrRyanGC]

@casperado666 It makes perfect sense we only have yet to figure it out. Consistencies across millions of years and thousands of cultures and religions that never had contact with one another have pointed us in the right direction. You have to look at the universe as a whole, not at any one religion or lifestyle. I believe it's something we will understand one day, but not until we can solve the differences between us. There are too many amazing things in the universe for it to be a coincidence.

[fissionemblem1]

god shes nuts

[Shelby596]

@fissionemblem1 What is wrong with you and all of the people who gave a thumbs up to your inane comment? She's talking about the love of her life dying and how she felt and you say she's nuts? Obviously no one close to you has ever died, b/c I understand what she and Anderson are saying. Where is the compassion in the world?

[sugarfreelemonade]

@Shelby596 god you're nuts

[TheClassica87]

@Shelby596 I can't answer you as to where the compassion in this world resides, but I can tell you that a great majority of the public (American and British) never liked Ono for a myriad of reasons. This I think, made it hard to feel compassion -- or to feel much of anything for her ---- when John was killed.

[Bertiefy]

@TheClassica87 Feeling compassion for a suffering human being isn't something you can turn on and off at will. Most people would look at a person who saw her husband shot in front of her and think "She suffered enough. I might not like her, but still I'll shut the fuck up before I shower her with my unbridled opinion." You don't have the gut instinct. I get that. I guess that's what Instant Karma is for.

[homeycdawg]

@Shelby596 I can tell you exactly what happened to the compassion in this world. It got snuffed out for not being profitable enough. Drama, greed, and sensationalism make much more money, so that's what we get. And what we get, after a few generations, becomes deeply ingrained into who we are.

I know, not the answer I would've preferred either.
