James Brown and Gerald Ford die.

To be honest, I thought James Brown was already dead.

The whole "this person died" thread is kind of old, but at least this time it's not just the TrimSpa lady's junkie son ODing.

I never had much repsect for Ford, he's the only President who was never actually elected to the office

Not a good reason and also not true either.

Does it make you feel strange when that happens?

Same thing with Rosa Parks.

For a while I thought that guy who played that old guy in Police Academy was dead. And that middle child from Full House for some reason.

I once though Jimi Hendrix was dead. Boy was I wrong. SHUT UP!

On Christmas Day, James Brown, the Godfather of Soul and the "Hardest Working Man in Show Business" died of heart failure at 1:45 am of heart failure after being admitted to the hospital for an extreme case of pneumonia. He was 73

Also, today, Gerald Ford, the 38th President of the United States, died, probably of heart problems as well. He was fitted with a pacemaker in August and had an angioplasty in October. He passed at around 10 to midnight and was 93

May they rest in peace

LOL

7393, some good numbers to play.

What's not to understand?

I must protest that Barker got Thread Starter credit, being as his thread never even got replies and the title of mine got used 😬

... Is it really that important to you. 😖

Yea I have to admit with Rosa Parks, before she actually died I always thought she was dead.

No, Gerald Ford was never elected to the office of President. He was appointed as Vice President by Nixon and assumed the office after Nixon resigned. He was never elected President, unlike other VPs that assumed the office, because they were at least elected Vice President.

Well, true as that, though that is still not a good reason for dislike. If you have more reasons I can understand. But that's hardly enough, don't you think?

I don't exactly have a judgment on how well he performed during his time as President. All I know is that he was never elected and he pardoned Nixon. And that is grounds enough not to respect him, which is all I said. I never said anything about liking the guy.

I resepect a lot of guys that never were elected.
