  • Andy Rooney Tell it like it is

    You may not agree with him but he says a lot!!!


    Finally, someone has the guts to tell it like it is.
    You have to love this man. Is Andy Rooney the only
    sane one left?
    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 government stooge with a bad
    comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts
    for squirting out babies.
    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% off the population is black, that is
    not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.
    I know what sex is, and there are not varying degrees
    of it. If I received sex from one of my subordinates
    in my office, it wouldn't be a private matter or my
    personal business. I would be "FIRED"
    immediately!
    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,

    DON'T PASS IT ON!!!
    You got to love him, I do.

    This thing has been going around for years and, iirc, has absolutely nothing to do with Andy Rooney nor anything he has ever said before in his life.

    In short: it's a hoax.

      Yeah, it didn't sound much like Andy Rooney. Too much political commentary and not enough talk about how he can't understand these new-fangled contraptions like computers and toasters.
      KH FOR OWNER!
      ASHER FOR CEO!!
      GUYNEMER FOR OT MOD!!!

            Nobody who has spent any time listening to Andy Rooney would be fooled for a second into thinking he'd have said that. He may be a whiner, but he's not as crass and unimaginative as this. It's also been attributed to George Carlin, Dennis Leary and others to try to give it more "weight" than the crank sitting in his basement who actually wrote it in a fit of pique at the world.

              he doesn't like female sideline reporters

              I like them because they are usually attractive and gives me something to think about banging.

                I got about 2 lines in before I decided it wasn't him.

                    I don't know who Andy Rooney's supposed to be, but whoever said that must be the most idiotic bastard I've ever seen.

                      I'm just imagining Andy sitting there with a toaster in his hand explaining how when he was young and toaters were first invented that they didn't have the darkness setting like toasters nowadays do. And instead of popping up, you had to reach in with a knife and get the toast. He lost 3 bothers that way, but it was worth it.

                        come on the second statement...

                        I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some government stooge with a bad
                        comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts
                        for squirting out babies.
                        anyone can tell that wouldn't get any national, prime-time airtime. obvious it wasn't him. Some of the points though are true but expressed stupidly

                          The later I stay up browsing poly, the funnier things get. I laughed at that for several minutes.


                          I hate Andy Rooney. I really do.

                            Why do people fall for things so obviously wrong as this?
