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, which 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 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 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 you 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 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 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...
I
PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE
TO
THE FLAG, OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR
WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER
GOD, 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 BE QUIET!!!
If you agree, pass this on, if not delete.
