Andy Rooney said...

Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back: (disclamer: i don't know if Andy Rooney said these things or not, but there are some very good points in here and some of the sarcasume does sound like Andy Rooney to me. `curtsey` I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens. Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door. (along with just about all other non-white politition) Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game. (ahmen, halaloya and so mote it be) I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE? (my feelings exactly) I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. (this is true to a point, such as a person who feels this way and yet can still work productively with homosexuals and treat them like they are sub human. then there are many others who can't do that in whole or in part (has no problem with gay women of any kind, is ok with bie men and gay men that don't come off as being gay just by their behavior, but gets queasy and uncomfortable around "flaming" (for lack of a better or propor word) gay men)) I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off. (true but they also have the right to be teated with respect as long as they give the same) When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability. (the number may be a lil high, but it does make sence) I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English! (and at least be proficiant in English just to get a green card) My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines. I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored and loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business. (now if you were born here and are busting your ass to make it and still need help, then help you should have) We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations. (i think they call it loop holes) I don't hate the rich I don't pity the poor. (i do pity the rich who only use their money to get richer and don't do shit to make the US the greatest nation once again and i do hate the poor that sit around whining "oh woawest me" and "help me i'm poor and don't want to work for a living") I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them. (so why bicth about pro wrestling being fake when most people can't do what they do) I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building. (fine, but he should be required to make a product that is better than 70% stable and not be allowed to leave bugs in the new OS, just so we will buy the next new one) It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!" (if we don't let the parents disapline their children in a manner that teaches them if they can't do what's right because it's the right thing to do, the they will be punished very harshly, our crime rate will never go down, as they will not fear the punishment of the law) I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries! (i personally don't think that they look profeshinal and i think less of a company that allows them at work) I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else! ("PC" is just an excuse to papper the overly senceative! some times the truths hurts, that's life) And if you don't like my point of view, tough... (our military keeps fighting wars to protect my right to have my point of view) I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD (whichever diety that you recognize as your "God or Goddess", INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having "In God We Trust" on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to Shut Up and BE QUIET!!! (the only ones who should be whiling about the use of God in these at the very few that don't believe in any God, Goddess or devine being of any kind. i bet that's less than 14% of all American Citizens) If you agree, pass this on, if not ignore it.
