    Bill Cosby "I'm 83 and Tired"


    I'm 83. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National
    Service, I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some some serious
    health challenges, 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; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't
    "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning
    teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of 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 them selves 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!

    Seems more and more moving along to the same line of thought. Does anyone think we are going to see an extremist government in place any time soon?
    Thinking Euro/Western democracies.

    Awe that's too bad, I guess he must be just another left wing celebrity idiot, who thinks the government should put everything on our door step so we don't have to get our hands dirty.

    straw man much?

    yeah, us liberals are out there not working, leaching off all those "makers" in society. i don't work, i hang out on the corner hoping some hard-working conservative goes to work every day, pays taxes which go directly into my pocket, so i can mooch of his/her hard work. AND, gives me some spare change so i can buy drugs and condoms so i can have high sex with my liberal boyfriend.

    straw manning is fun! i can get used to this.

    That line imo prevents any debate, and instead turns the entire message explicitly into propaganda which you either agree with 100%, or not, in which case you are automatically 'the enemy'.

    I am tired... of extremists, be they left or right.

    Hey man, if you're going to spread the hate it's best done equally to everybody. If you didn't then people make the mistake that you're on their side since you didn't blast them as well as their rival! Be it black, white, asian, male, female, straight or gay, logically or emotionally driven, violent or passive, bike, car or pedestrian . . you name it, I have hate to go around for everyone : D.

    My resting heart rate is 180bpm at all times.

    If you're talking to me, I have only one question:

    'How do we know each other? Because we've clearly met....'

    Then you're 50% right (or 50% wrong, depending on whether you're a "glass half full..." kinda guy).
