Andy Rooney's words... anyone ever seen this before?

[timNms]

Someone emailed this to me today. I agree with most of what he says.

Andy Rooney Has Guts

Andy Rooney said on 60 minutes a few weeks back: (for

those of you that don't know Andy Rooney, he is a 82

year old US TV commentator.)

I like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big

houses and big campfires.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my

family, not some government stooge with a bad

comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts

for squirting out babies.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason,

that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong

in the Girl Scouts!

ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?

I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it

is not a phobia, it is an opinion. 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.

I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others

because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

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.

I know what sex is, and there are not varying degrees

of it. If I received sex from one of my subordinates

in my office, it wouldn't be a private matter or my

personal business. I would be "FIRED" immediately!

I believe that if you are selling me a milk shake, 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!

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 self 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 feel much safer letting a machine with no political

affiliation recount votes when needed. I know what

the definition of lying is.

I don't think just because you were not born in this

country, you are qualified for any special loan

programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax

breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop,

trinket store, or any other business.

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 don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I

know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and

television. That doesn't stop you from

watching them.

I believe a self-righteous liberal or conservative

with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel

with an attitude.

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.

Ask your buddy that invented the Internet to help you.

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!"

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 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.

And if you don't like my point of view, ignore it...

Who really cares if its false or not? It speaks volumes....

[Pburgh]

Thanks Tim, I love Andy Rooney too. He says exactly what I think.

[Lindaloo]

Who really cares if its false or not? It speaks volumes....

I agree 100% If it is false then Lindaloo is saying it. So that makes it true now and needs to be removed from Snopes. ROFL.

[timNms]

yeah, Lindaloo....if you say it, then it's true lol
hey, it pretty much sums up my feelings too, whether andy said it or not. somebody said it, so it must be true

[GalvestonDuck]

I didn't say the sentiment was false...only who it was attributed to. I've seen stuff like this that was supposedly said by Robin Williams, George Carlin, and several other outspoken individuals.

Nothing wrong with WHAT was said, just that it doesn't give credit to WHO actually said it.
