It can't be said better!

Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:

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.
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.

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 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!

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 behind 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 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 know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them

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.

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, tough...

It's a census strategy so they know which levees to bomb.

Don't forget the latest where that black congress lady now says that the black peoples rights are being violated cause we don't give hurricanes a black name. Dumb bitch. We don't give them fucking country fuck names either like billy joe bob. So fucking what. It seems like all people do anymore is sue for this or that or stand on some doors steps protesting this or that. They ought to shoot every fucking one of them.
I live in Mexico and I could just see me protesting something down here. I'd be a dead fuck within ten minutes.
Then I just read a post in the training section and some high school kid said if they ever tried to paddle me for doing ass things, it would be him or me and it wouldn't be me. I 'll answere with this. I have two mexican workers here right now. One is a father and his young 9th grade high school kid is here helping him right now. He just told me that he just picked up his son from the local police dept. Cost him 400 pesos to get him out. He was with a friend who got into a fight. all he was was an observer. Four of them went to jail. Two were charged 800 peso's and the two watching there friends were charged 400 peso's ea. That's close to $40. That's more then a whole days pay down here. A kid hits a teacher here and just may spend the next year in jail.

Tough

This just in: hurricane Shiquita has been upgraded to a class 5 hurricane and is speeding towards New Orleans. One resident, when ask "Aren't you going to evacuate?" was quoted as saying "I'm not wo'ried about dat bitch. Lop some boogie. I've gots some lootin' t'do! Right on!"

Let me ask you this, what would you do if your boss hit you?

I would do a double leg takedown, or maybe a judo hip throw. Once on the ground, i would pass my boss's guard, goto knee on the belly, grab his arm, and swing into an arm bar on the opposite side. TAPOUT!

Exactly.

**V Player** · 10-04-2005, 07:15 PM

As god is my witness, as a foreign born, non citizen immigrant who had to learn English or get spanked, I agree with everything he said. 100%.

I agree with Rooney completely on this one

An addition that I think goes with the sentiment of this thread, News from yesterday-

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washing...ispanics_x.htm <-

They're mad because, a good friend of The President, Alberto Gonzales, being(believed to be) on The President's *short* list of possible nominees, didnt pick him for the sole purpose of giving the Hispanic community bragging right. wtf? Since when are we supposed to be racially biased? 50 years ago that was considered a BAD thing; but now its trendy and makes you more cultured- as long as your racial bias for choosing people is against whites?

I just dont see The President nominating a hispanic, black, chinese, or martian judge, and then some hillbilly coming down to Washington to tell the news its a slap in the face he didnt choose a white person.(with no teeth)

If he had chose Gonzales, women's groups would be calling him sexist.

What we need is- A black Chinese girl to be adopted, and raised by a latino family, abducted by aliens, and then lose her teeth so we can have the perfect candidate.

Only so long as she rides the short bus to the capital.

**maniclion** · 10-04-2005, 08:09 PM

It could have been said better. He could have actually said it, this is not Andy Rooney. I respect Andy Rooney especially a couple of days ago when he said this:
Markedly the bold section.

I'm not really clear how much a billion dollars is but the United States — our United States — is spending $5.6 billion a month fighting this war in Iraq that we never should have gotten into.

We still have 139,000 soldiers in Iraq today.

Almost 2,000 Americans have died there. For what?

Now we have the hurricanes to pay for. One way our government pays for a lot of things is by borrowing from countries like China.

Another way the government is planning to pay for the war and the hurricane damage is by cutting spending for things like Medicare prescriptions, highway construction, farm payments, AMTRAK, National Public Radio and loans to graduate students. Do these sound like the things you'd like to cut back on to pay for Iraq?

I'll tell you where we ought to start saving: on our bloated military establishment.

We're paying for weapons we'll never use.

No other Country spends the kind of money we spend on our military. Last year Japan spent $42 billion. Italy spent $28 billion, Russia spent only $19 billion. The United States spent $455 billion.

We have 8,000 tanks for example. One Abrams tank costs 150 times as much as a Ford station wagon.

We have more than 10,000 nuclear weapons — enough to destroy all of mankind.

We're spending $200 million a year on bullets alone. That's a lot of target practice. We have 1,155,000 enlisted men and women and 225,000 officers. One officer to tell every five enlisted soldier what to do. We have 40,000 colonels alone and 870 generals.

We had a great commander in WWII, Dwight Eisenhower. He became President and on leaving the White House in 1961, he said this: “We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. …"

Well, Ike was right. That's just what’s happened.

All of my other posts today have bombed too. Screw this, Im out before I cause myself more damage.

I agree with the statement, but what does this following passage mean? refer too?

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.

I think it refers to the current trend of blaming guns for high murder rates and allowing victims of gun crimes to sue gun manufacturers. (Instead of the criminal that actually committed the crime.)

I thought so too. but his metaphor is misleading. baseball bats are made for hitting baseballs, cars are made for transportations. guns are made for killing! although owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, why else do you need one?

**ponyboy** · 10-05-2005, 08:11 AM

Another great post by Rob. I totally agree with everything, especially the immigrant part. My city is now filled with foreigners who feel they don't have to know how to speak English and then get mad if you can't understand them. They move into areas and the crime rate doubles or triples. Plus our government automatically lets them in, gives them welfare and a free place to live and resources so that they can move their entire forty person family here too and live in a one bedroom apartment.

I have nothing against immigrants that come here intending to work, learn the language and contribute to society. Those that come here intending to get a free ride because they think they are owed something make me sick.
