While this is definitely NOT the work of Andy Rooney, I think it's a pretty good commentary anyway....

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..

Finally, someone is making sense!
 
i agree with almost every point except the lip ring one. If you dont wanna look at there infected face turn away or don't go near anyone and if people feel its a political statement all the power to them i know you don't and i don't but you can't really tell them not to say they shouldn't say it
 
It's pretty standard fare for right wing ignorance. That's been circulating a while and hasn't gotten any more insightful or profound in the time since it was first written.

LOL @ right wing ignorance. Comical.
 
wow....all of that is so ethnocentric, ignorant, and has been said a million times. Can't stand that stuff. Of course, it is your opinion, so feel free to say it. Just so long as I can feel free to voice my displeasure at seeing this stuff touted.

Well what points are not valid?
 
As a homosexual, I personally don't mind if you or anyone else thinks that homosexuality is wrong. You are entitled to that opinion and it doesn't bother me in the least. In fact, my mother thinks homosexuality is wrong, but she treats me just the same as she treats everyone else.

I only mind that I have to fill out two tax forms in my house instead of one because the laws in this country about whom I have the right to enter into the legal contractual relationship of marriage with is determined by you and those like you who think it is wrong for me to want to enter into a sexual relationship with a woman instead of a man. If you suddenly couldn't get divorced (i.e., exit the legal contractual relationship of marriage) because lots of people think it's wrong, you might see how that situation would be counter to the idea of separation of church and state. Right now, the state, at least with respect to the laws regarding who can and can't get married, is not separated from the church. Churches should be able to marry whomever they want and should not be forced to marry two persons of the same sex. The state, on the other hand, should not base its decisions regarding with whom I can and can't receive a tax break for living in the same stable domicile and sharing expenses and financial burdens on someone else's moral ideas about who I should and shouldn't sleep with.

Of course, this has happened before and will eventually be resolved. The state used to say that black people couldn't marry white people, which was also based on the opinion of the majority that black people and white people shouldn't be sleeping together. You are still entitled to that opinion too, but now, no one would agree that the state should withhold the rights from interracial couples that they bestow on same-race couples just because you think they shouldn't be boinking one another. Your opinion on the morality of their boinking is immaterial to the state's duty to bestow rights equally to all without discrimination, just as your opinion on the morality of MY boinking should be. (Incidentally, if you held THAT opinion, the majority would now call you a bigot, but 30 years ago, that majority would have vehemently asserted that you were not bigoted, that it was just your opinion. But that is neither here nor there, and I really don't care if we call you a homophobe or we call you opinionated. I respect and defend your right to have that opinion. In turn, I simply want the same rights that heterosexuals have--the right to enter into a legal contract that bestows upon the partners 900-1000 state and federal rights and privileges with the person of my choosing .)

Because people who are closed-minded enough to clearly despise those who have come to your "great country" in order to find a better life, or are too bigoted to realize that criticism of this government is essential to its creation and continued success, are the sort of people that halt progress and slow down change that is essential to a developing, healthy country.
