Don't know if this is SIAL but I've just got it and thought I'd share it with you...
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
governmental stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack
addicts for squirting out babies.
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 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 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, tough. DON'T PASS IT ON

A few bits I agree with. But FFS
...and all the native Americans who weren't killed by the modern invaders think what?
...as he says, if you don't like the TV news, turn it off.

Sounds like a rabid old maniac to me, still at 82 he won't be carrying on for long.

Maybe he should have said
If it ticks you off, illegally suppress all the competition...

Archaic and regressive attitudes like that make countries worse and society more fractured. He just openly admitted half of what is wrong with the usa ffs.

er, no, terzo, actually i replied because a) its a forum and thats the whole point and b) the whole tone of his writing (never mind the content that i personally didn't get on with) seemed to be one of self-aggrandisement. if you or i wrote a manifesto with every paragraph starting with "i believe.." you'd all be asking, quite rightly, who does this self-obsessed tosspot think he is?
just because i disagree with you about the content is no reason to take it personally, like you say, its just opinions we're expressing here.

I BELIEVE it's great.
This is exactly the sort of thinking the lily livered lefties need a good dose of to point out the fundamental flaws in their politically correct universe.
