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.
“I’m 83 and I'm tired. If you don't agree you are part of the problem!

I don't understand what a few christians in the other thread have to do will this old man? |
out of everything I wrote that's what you chose to...nvm the connection is that that's common Christian rhetoric... not just an isolated view expressed on bhm. Cosby is also a proponent of the bible so...

Great point about who raised this generation. I'm excited to see what the coming generations will do with the world. I don't think we're nearly as corrupt but I could be being naive. I think we're tired too. Not from being 83 but of being told we're lazy because we can't afford to do things the way they did when working hard meant you could get somewhere. And being told we're entitled. We want to do what our parents and grandparents did - work, get an education, be homeowners and raise families. The American Dream has become a nightmare for some. It costs too much. My parents first home was $22,000. They are in their 60s. So Bill Cosby is even older than that. The world was different.
Some points I agree with like making excuses for everyone's ills. I don't really care what athlete's and celebrities do too much though I do think drug addiction is an illness.

You seem to take Cosby's beliefs and try to attribute them to the posters in the other thread. I doubt many of those posters feel the same way. This way of trying to prove a point isn't a good one.
