I was talking to my roommates today and I want to know what you all think.
When one is murdered you are killed by someone, but when you are assassinated you are murdered by someone as well. We were thinking:
Why is it that some people which are murdered are not referred to as that but that they were assassinated? It seems that your only assassinated if your famous. How famous do you have to be to become assassinated?
why not say it was murder?
It's not only people that know secret information.. as we thought, but they have said.. for example that John Lennon was assassinated. Would some of you say he was or murdered? I have never heard anyone say that someone who is shot in the street was assassinated.. but always that it was murder.
I don't know.. please discus!
We came to the conclusion that hopefully one of us would be assassinated and therefore famous...lol....
