Hacking group Anonymous have now sent Sony a message in the form of a
video regarding the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) bill.
This comes just a week after reports of a SOPA-style court order for

Imagine
Writer: LENNON, JOHN
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
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
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day 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
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Happy New Year! |

Lennon was a drug addict; no wonder he was dreaming when he wrote this up. I could see a relation to Lady Gaga - she's on drugs, too. But, I have no idea what a drug addict has to do with SOPA, Sony or Anonymous. Care to put it into context? Cheers.
As for Anonymous. While I do not always agree with their methods, I am happy to see that someone stands up against the governments and corporations who believe that they have control over people and their lives. Normally, people should have control over their government and with that, any corporations - unfortunately our world is highly corrupt and that's not the case. |

I could put it into context but it would be of no use if you yourself can't see it. I am not calling you dumb or anything, it's just one of those things that you either see or you don't. Like being colorblind. In a way, you answered your own question with your own conclusion. Lennon being on drugs has nothing to do with the song itself. Also, Lady Gaga said or did nothing smart, I see no comparison to Lennon, only insult to him. Read the lyrics and think in "what if" and try to apply logic. |

I do not get it why Lady Gaga is mentioned in the Anonymous video then.

In your eyes, perhaps.
People are different. |

John Lennon was living in a dreamland like every other hippie. People will always find an excuse to do bad. That's what we are. That's what we do. And there is no one more hateful than hippies, viciously hateful of anyone who doesn't think exactly like they do, and doesn't hate everything they do.
John Lennon should have watched the Star Trek episode: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield".

Everybody believes their own bullshit.
You just said hippies were hateful and vicious, and you believed it. Amazing.
Happy new years morons!
Incidentally, the the original Star Trek blows that Next Generation crap away (just sayin). |
