> Surprised CBS let him get away with this even though he's right
> AMEN ANDY ROONEY !
> Right on, Andy Rooney!
> 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 UnitedCaucasianCollege 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
> 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!
> 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 Shut Up and BE QUIET!!!

I have come to accept the fact that this
country will forever be divided. Some will
get along but most will not. That is just
how it is. All we can do is pick and choose
who we care to spend our time with.
I know for me P&S has become less of
a family in the last year and more of
a group of friends on P&S who I visit.
I can honestly say that there are quite
a few people on the boards that I would
not share a drink or time of day with.
I am sure that more than few feel the
same about me. Just saying it like it
is...

My sentiments exactly. It will never change only get worse. Buddy of mine pulled a car over and the guy said that he did not speak english so he was let go with a warning. He saw the man a couple hours later and he was talking his a- - off. He was not too happy.
I did some time at Camp Perndleton and Camp Matthews in California.
There is too much of a you owe me or what's in it attitude going around now.

Sounds like your buddy screwed up. He should
have been reprimanded for not doing his job.
If he was going to give him a warning anyways
that is one thing, if he gave him a warning
just because he could not speak english
then he is just being lazy.) What if the
guy was wanted by law enforcement??

Agreed
Fishing is a lot better. Anyone one P & S is welcome at my house at anytime and I will sit and drink with anyone at anytime. What I believe in I do not let it come between me and my friends.
I try to respect what other people believe in and hope they do the same for me.
But this takes from what we all enjoy the most and that is fishing.:fishing: :fishing: :fishing:

i agree with you up to a point, i have said this many times. I try to be as honest as i can be with everybody, and hope they are the same towards me. But everybody that disagree with me, or tell me how much they dislike me for whatever the reason....I have more respect for people like that, then the ones that hide behind their words. And sugercoat things to make me feel better, while they stick a knife in my back. (Something that i have gotten many times because of the way i belive) There are alot of things i can accept and live with, if am not welcome at someplace... (I just don't go) I am Puerto Rican by background, but i am American by birth.....When my dad came here, he didnt know any english. He took the time to learn it, and didnt whine about it. He always put food on our table, and even started his own bodyshop. (That did well) He belive you work hard for anything you want and enjoy your life while you are here...(and he always has time to take me fishing) He had four sons and three when into the Marine corp. (Something he was really proud of) He was a 100% "Purerto Rican" and wanted to live his last days back on the island. But Cancer came and stole that dream from him:( ..And one thing that i got from him, was how honest he was...blunt at times...But he was still being honest. The statement that was said, is something he would have belive in. But the reason our country (American) is Divided is because people keep giving in to anyone that belive they arent being fair too. It's "American" yes we are a diverse country, but we are "Americans" first everything else is second....When i have to go into a McDonald and i cant understand the spanish speaking person behind the counter:mad: .....LEARN to speak English, of get the hell out of here!!! alot of my own people :rolleyes: Look down on me for the way i belive....But its funny how other races can bit#h about things, and get their way....but others cant:rolleyes: He one that i thought was the last straw for me, i was going to join a all spanish bowling league. (Because of friends) and they have tournaments in Puerto Rico, and i though that me and my GF can go over there and learn about my background...but one of friend, (thats a board member) calls me up and wanted me to know. That i wouldnt be allow to join this bowling club....and the reason....Because my GF is "White" :mad: I wasnt mad at him. Because i know how he feel about it, and even wanted to quit. And i talk him out of it, as he is single and enjoys it alot. Well i got to speak to the top dog, and now i know they will never let me in, not even in a tournament.....As i came across too "American" for him...WTF!!! I wonder what we will be in other 100years:( hell even "Free speech" is dying.....i like to hear everybody, that way i know the Narrow-minded fools, ignorant idiots and radical extremists out there....and i also have the right to turn off the TV/radio if i don't want to listen to them....Something that alot of people have forgotten to do.....Talking about imus and his Apologie.....Is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton going to meet the Duke Lacrosse players and give their apologies??? sorry for being so long, but this is a subject that alway get to me..........And for our wordsmith out there, please don't try to read too deep into anything i have said. As there are no hidden messges, just a old tired Marine venting:beer:

Well said Jetty.....It's people like you that truly understand freedom and the price of it....Cheers..:beer:

Now go.....:fishing: and tear em up !!

Interesting link there. Not only does Rooney deny writing it- he's looking to sue the individual's responsible for attempting to connect him with the statments.

For good reason-there is more wrong than right with some of those statments.

Here's a tip for your cop buddy that worked for me many times in a ten year career in Law enforcement....

When speaking to someone who "doesn't speak English", look down at their feet and then into their eyes, and quietly say "You're standing in fire ants"...

Works EVERY time. :D

I,too, am in complete agreement with both the original post and tilapia's post #8.
