"Ronald Reagan dies"

Ronald Reagan died this evening aged 93. I realise most of you are too young to remember him as president of the U.S. and some of you werent even born when he lfet office, but still it's sad to hear of his death, he wasn't a bad President.

R.I.P. Ronald Reagan.

As do I, just some ae more noted than others as they are of national or international interest.

I believe every death is significant.

And you wont be the only person to die the day you die, does that make you any less significant?

Granted he's a well respected historical figure.

I think it's sad that one man gains more respect than the thousands who die every day for various reasons.

I'm not saying it's wrong for people to be sad from the news of his death. I'm just saying he's not the only person to have died yesterday. And that, quite frankly, is not irrelevant.

I blame the Commies

Heard the name before, 93 is a very good innings, I'd be more than happy to settle for that*.

He had a good run.

No it's the fact that quite a few of my schoolmates have got 'Ronald Regan is dead' as there screennames and stuff. People seem to use it as an oppurtunity to flex their humanity. I apoligise if it offended you. Just annoyed with all the people who are using this to seem 'human', for want of a better word'
