    Unhappy Bill Cosby rant

    So what do you guys think of Bill’s rant? Do you agree or disagree? Whatever you believe there is some truth in some of what he says I believe.




    Bill Cosby "I'm 83 and Tired"
    I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for when I was doing my National Service, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired.
    I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.
    I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; Muslims burning schools for girls; Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.
    I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and Madrasa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia , New Zealand , UK, America and Canada , while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance..
    I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.
    I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off?
    I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
    I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.
    I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20's be-deck themselves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves unemployable and claiming money from the Government.
    Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 83.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and their children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in. There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.

    This is the ONLY part of his rant i wouldnt whole heartedly agree with....Its a trivial point and of little importance in comparison with the truth he speaks about every other issue.

    Well, it's certainly a far cry from Martin Luther King's speech, "I Have a Dream"! I agree with some of the things he says, about having to carry people who don't have a good work ethic and spend all their money making themselves look stupid and unemployable. Look at this guy:

    This poor guy says he needs government
    assistance because he cannot get a job.
    Any suggestions?

    “I’m 83 and I'm tired. If you don't agree you are part of the problem!
    correct they should just make a new choice, dust themselves down and walk
    into fullfillng jobs, housing, aquaintances. t'was all just a bad episode.

    Ireland has a massive problem with people 'using the system', but the governments
    of the last 30yrs or so have hand built this social sewer to gain votes which means wealth and power
    to them personally. in a word, sick. Europe is gonna kick butt soon!
