Andy Rooney said on 60 minutes a few weeks back
quote:
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.
Andy Rooney has never been the victim of being of a different color, so it is not a voice of experience. Guns have one purpose-to kill, either offensively or defensivly! Baseball bats can bat balls, hit someone with, and pound cabbage into sauerkraut.
quote:
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?
Ambivalent on this one. Well, maybe isolationism is Rooney’s worst trait.
quote:
I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.
Ah yes, people slinging opinions around carelessly. Bush says, “It’s my opinion”, and we have fabricated wars and Un-Constitutional Constitutional Amendments. Again, walk a mile in the shoes Andy, and then make a statement.
quote:
I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.
Likewise with you Andy. Does Andy think he is “normal”. Another aspect of isolationism.
quote:
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.
99.9 % of Skinheads and KKK Members are white. This is not racial profiling, it is probability. I knew a former FBI agent who quit because of the blatant racism that exists in the FBI. Did you know that Philadelphia is the Klansmen capital of the world? I have heard from the mouths of white people, their hatred of anything other than white, especially my brother-in-law, who is a real life Archie Bunker. Expand that to a larger level, and you have institutional racism, and White Superiority.
quote:
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!
Maybe Andy should learn Navajo! Isolationism again. Frankly, I have learned catch phrases in other languages, and it doesn’t bother me as much as other people.
quote:
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.
Right, Rooney! The crime and the punishment REALLY fit in that scenario. An innocent person decides not to give an ID or stop, so you shoot them! I wonder if Andy would think the same if it was him on the receiving end of an over-zealous officers baton or gun?
quote:
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.
Agreed! If you pay US taxes, you should be entitled to anything any other American gets. I absolutely do not want illegal aliens coming into this country, while jobs are exported to 3rd world countries. I notice old Andy did not mention that.
quote:
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.
Well, France fought to help America 228 years ago, and look what people thought about them. The Constitution is pretty explicit, and should stay that way.
quote:
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.
It’s when rich people get rich from unscrupulous means when it bothers me. Cheney, Bush, and that crew come to mind.
quote:
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. (Al)
Bill Gates didn’t invent anything. He is not a genius, Windows is an inferior operating system to Unix, BeOS, Linux, and Mac OSX. He got rich selling snake oil, and the public went along with it, and his gift back to the public is the TCPA/Palladium horror show, and Windows XP blows open all the back doors to the NSA.
quote:
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!"
Since I don’t have kids, I won’t say as much. However, my parents never hit me once, and I did not need to be smacked around to realize the values I still hold.
quote:
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!
Rooney didn’t like Long Hairs in the 60’s, and the influence of the Hippies and Peaceniks are still being felt today. I guess his Nixon Blue Suit is still hanging in his closet, ready to come back in style.
quote:
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.
You are not a true American Andy, your genetics came from Europe. We are all either African or Asian, or if a Creationist, Middle Eastern. If believer in Starseed, then extraterrestrial. Even so-called Native Americans are Mongolian in origin.
quote:
And if you don't like my point of view, tough. DON'T PASS IT ON!!
No I won’t. just dissect it like I did.

Chipping Away at Andy Rooney
10Meters News Service
February 13, 2002 – Andy Rooney, the curmudgeonly commentator on TV's "60 Minutes" news magazine, has been challenged to "chip" his words.
Rooney quipped during his segment on the February 10 show that he would be willing to have a chip implanted under his skin, if that would help speed up and assure security at airports.
"We need some system for permanently identifying safe people. Most of us are never going to blow anything up and there's got to be something better than one of these photo Ids," Rooney said. "I wouldn't mind having something planted permanently in my arm that would identify me."
Applied Digital Solutions, of Palm Beach, Fla., lost no time in responding. On Monday, the advanced technology firm invited Rooney to join a select group of people to "get chipped" – as in being implanted with its identification system, the VeriChip microchip.
Launched as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions on February 8, VeriChip produces a miniaturized, implantable identification device aimed at medical, security and emergency applications.
The chip, approximately the size of the point of a typical ballpoint pen, is embedded with a unique identification number and other critical data. Requiring only local anesthesia and a tiny incision, it can be inserted in an outpatient setting. No sutures are necessary.
The data on the chip is activated by an external scanner. It then utilizes radio frequencies to transmit the information for display on the scanner. Data can also be transmitted via the telephone or the Internet to an FDA-compliant data-storage site.
As far as Rooney's chip-quip, he's not the only one curious about the idea of implants.
A family in Boca Raton, Florida, has contacted Applied Digital Solutions to volunteer as chip "guinea pigs." Driving the family effort is Derek Jacobs, a 14 year old, who said he is fascinated by the idea of technology that links humans with machines.
Applied Digital Solutions CTO Keith Bolton told Wired News that more than 2,000 kids have emailed the company to be added to the implant list. "They think it's cool," Bolton said.
The only catch, for the kids or for Rooney, if he chooses to accept the challenge: the company is in the process of getting FDA approval to "chip" people.

Rooney wants chips and Sean Hannity says every child should have one.
Rooney is a one-worlder and not even in the closet about it. I posted the article cause I thought it would get some action not because I agree with Rooney every word. A couple of points hit the mark though. |

Illegal Entry From Mexico to U.S. Spikes
Apr 27, 2:11 PM (ET)
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20040427/D827A4P00.html
By OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ
SASABE, Mexico (AP) - After a four-year decline, illegal immigration from Mexico is spiking as several thousand migrants a day rush across the border in hopes of getting work visas under a program President Bush proposed. Many also are trying to beat tighter security to come in June.
The U.S. border patrol told The Associated Press that detentions - which it uses to judge illegal migration rates - jumped 25 percent to 535,000 in the six months ending March 31 compared to a year ago.
Near Sasabe, a town bordering the Arizona desert that's the busiest illegal border crossing area, an average 2,000 people arrive daily.
On a recent day, at a break in a barbed-wire fence outside Sasabe, about 300 migrants scrambled out of 10 trucks and four vans within 30 minutes with their smugglers, who led crowds along a worn trail. As the sun set, they disappeared into rolling hills that hide the treacherous desert.
Raudel Sanchez, a 22-year-old farm worker, said he wanted to get back to his job at a Minnesota ranch.
Sanchez crossed into the United States through Sasabe three years ago, but says the journey is getting more difficult. He walked three days in the desert and was out of water when he was caught in Arizona and deported.
Undeterred, he said he planned to take a bus to Altar, a northern city about 70 miles from the border where migrants hire smugglers. From there, he planned to head back to Sasabe and cross again.
"It's already very hard to cross, but it's going to be even harder," he said in Nogales. "I need to try again, at least one more time, and if I fail, I'll go back home."
Many migrants are betting on the approval of Bush's migration proposal, which faces an uphill battle in Congress. About 75 percent of those arrested are Mexican, while the rest are from Central America and other places, U.S. customs officials said.
In January, Bush proposed a guest-worker plan that would give legal status to undocumented migrants already working in the United States and to those outside the country who can prove they have been offered a job.
Because it's hard to get a job offer while in Mexico, many are heading north now, hoping to get settled before a program is in place.
Mark Krikorian, executive director for the Center for Immigration Studies, a group that favors stricter immigration policies, said the rise in illegal migration also shot up in 1986 when an amnesty was announced.
"Illegal aliens will respond to the messages the government sends," Krikorian said. "When we send the message that we are thinking about amnesty, they decide it may be worth it to try to cross."
Illegal migration had been declining along the U.S.-Mexico border since 2000. U.S. border patrol figures show detentions dropped from 1.6 million in 2000 to 905,000 in the fiscal year that ended last Sept. 30.
There is no exact data on the number of people crossing illegally. But in an indication of increased traffic, 535,000 illegal migrants were arrested along the U.S.-Mexico border from Oct. 1 to March 31, said Gloria Chavez of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Bureau.
In the same period, the border patrol's Tucson sector detained 70,000 more people, an increase of 49 percent.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Robert Bonner attributes part of the jump to increased security. "The main reason we're seeing an increase in apprehensions is because the border patrol is more effective, particularly in the Tucson sector," he said.
But Mexican officials are also seeing an increase. Grupo Beta, a Mexican government-sponsored group that tries to discourage migrants from crossing and aids those stranded in the desert, said 56,000 migrants went through Sasabe in March compared to 41,000 in March 2003.
In Altar, a farming town that has become the gathering point for those heading to Arizona, street vendors sell backpacks, water jugs and salt pills by the thousands.
The modest homes around the plaza, crowded with triple-decker bunk beds, serve as makeshift motels for migrants. They're almost always at capacity, said Francisco Garcia, a former mayor who now volunteers at the town's only migrant shelter.
"We're a town with a population of 6,000, and there have been weeks when we have twice as many people," Garcia said.
Under new security measures, about 300 more U.S. border agents will be deployed by June 1 along the Mexico-Arizona border. The number of border agents assigned to the Tucson sector will eventually increase from 1,800 to 2,500, Bonner said.
Many of the additional agents already have been sent to the Tohono O'odham Indian reservation, an area west of Sasabe where illegal migrant traffic has ballooned, said border patrol spokesman Charles Griffin.
The heightened border security is driving more migrants to more treacherous desert routes between Sonoyta and San Luis Rio Colorado in western Arizona, said Enrique Enriquez, an agent with Mexico's Grupo Beta.
"Migrants are telling us they're crossing through Sonoyta because there are fewer border patrol agents there," Enriquez said. "But with the new changes, we expect more migrants will start going west of there," where there are even fewer roads and people to help stranded migrants.
Grupo Beta plans to assign rescuers to Sonoyta in May, Enriquez said. Every year, hundreds of migrants die in the desert, where temperatures soar above 100 degrees in summer.
