    This is some stuff that andy rooney said on 60 minutes, i think its funny and in a way kind of sadly-true. I dont mean to offend anyone with this post, so if i do, please pm me and ill delete this thread, thanks!

    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 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 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 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

    It's funny, but it shouldn't be, nearly all of what he said is in my opinion common sense. so true, so true

    I hate Political Correctness:mad:

    "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!"

    The diversity of america is one of its best attributes. Who gives a fuck what language someone speaks, have an open mind.

    "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."

    This man has apparently never been in an edgy situation with a prick of a cop. I dont see how his grandparents tie into the rest...

    "I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off."

    Every person on this planet deserves their spot just as much as anyone, no matter what they are or how they look. Sure get pissed off or annoyed, but its not your "right" to not be tolerant, and it makes u a fucking prick.

  6. #6 Rasta_Man, Jun 29, 2006
    Just another cruddy attempt for republicans to seem tough on the immigration issue. Yay mid-term elections!

    Andy Rooney is a fucking tool. Half the time he bitches about shit that everyone doesn't know/care about. I remember seeing something about him complaining about how "Girl scouts don't bake their own cookies". Who the fuck cares

    lol rasta, please generalize more :D. Anyway i also agree with most of this, its mostly entertaining than anything

    -Im not going to have an open mind when it comes to laguage barrier, if they come here without knowing english then i have every right to say i dont want what they have.


    -if it makes you look like a fucking prick then it does and most of the time to someone you really dont care what they think about you

    As for the language barrier, it goes the other way to. Some lady came into my work the other day and she spoke no english, only spanish. And she rattled off her request in spanish and when I stopped her and used english words like, "Deposit" or "Cash Check" which I was hoping she understood one of those, she gave me a look of disgust because I couldn't understand her... wait what country was I in again?
     
  11. #11 Perfekt, Jun 29, 2006
    thats her own fucking fault, that just means she needs to go to another place to get her shit done. tough shit
     
  12. #12 Stew11, Jun 30, 2006
    An open mind does help, but if you live in a country that primarily speaks one language and you work with customers alot you should know enough of that language to get your job done.

    yes, it may make u a fucking prick, but everyone has the right to be the biggest fucking prick they want

    if you really believe everyone "deserves their spot" and is entitled to their opinion, then you have to acknowledge the freedom of people to hate others.

    SOOOO TRUE!

    long as they dont infringe their opinion on anyone else, then yes that makes sense. Hate all you want. But have enough self respect to see what you hate, use it an example for how you choose to live your life, and leave it at that.

    Fuck that shit. It seems like not one person on this goddamn earth has a lick of sense.

    Humans are selfish creatures. We dont care about others. Its all about ME ME ME! You have to TEACH a child how to love, to share. We are all born in hatred, and violence.

    EDIT: Sorry for the harshness. Still kind of tripping from last night I guess

    i too have pondered how its politically correct that theres black entertainment television, cuz if white people did that shit we'd have alot of bullshit to deal with but then one day i realized

    the other 100 some channels are WET so who cares, we just dont have to label shit "white" cuz pretty much it already is, and if we did label it white it would be "racist"

    i hate republicans
    i think if youre ignorant enough to post a thread like this you should be faced with all the shit youre against an see how hard it may be.

    HAHA, my god im not saying i am republican, although my view tend to go to the right, i do have a lot of left views. And a lot of the stuff i have been faced with and i didnt really care. And damn, i thought u were cool, black dahlia owns!
