This was passed on to me by my wife. It's simular to the suppossed George Carlin joke but a little different. It however is NOT factual.Enjoy!!!

Andy Rooney usually takes a liberal slant, but here
he is saying some things the liberals will claim are
not "politically correct"... and Andy will probably
say, "Tough s***!"
-----------------------------------

Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:
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.

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 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% of the population is black, that
is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a
milkshake, 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
ass 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 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 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.

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.

Inaccuracies and misrepresentations are wrong no matter where they originate from.


Don't tell that to Karl Rove. They are the standard by which he runs a campaign.

I'm not going to touch the political statements but I know a lot about phychology and I know that

" 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!"

was an idiotic thing to say. This kind of form of teaching is about as effective as duct taping a kids mouth shut to teach it not to cry. I'd have hoped we'd have moved beyond this by now.

I think you will find yourself in the minority on this. There is nothing wrong in smacking their butt when needed. Notice I did NOT say to *beat* them, I said *smack* their butt. So I do NOT believe it was an idiotic thing to say.
I must also tell you that I don't care much for *psychology*. As far as I'm concerned it's highly over-rated and usually doesn't solve anything

I agree...."spare the rod and spoil the child" has been proven again and again in modern society, yet people like nyvelion refuse to see it. "Stop that," doesn't work as well as a swat on the behind. Say "Stop that" twice; if they don't.....swat'em a good one. never hurt me or anyone else I know, nor did all the previous generations suffer horribly from a butt-smack.

Psychology, for the most part, is a scam. People go to therapy for years and years and spend a king's ransom and never get anywhere. I know...I did it. It's the only form of medicine where long-term lack of progress is accepted as normal. If a medical doctor did that, he'd be sued and kicked out for malpractice.
Another thing about that particular industry is how the first thing they want to do now is label you as "depressed", and put you on something. Everyone I know is on some kind of anti-depressant, it seems. Of course you're going to feel better about yourself, and life; you're stoned.

Well then, you can go on hitting kids, and I'll go on using methods proven to actually work.

And just because Psychology doesn't explain everything, does not mean it explains nothing, especially when controlled studies have already been done on this and prove what is effective and what is not.

It's spelled P-S-Y-C-H-O-L-O-G-Y, brainiac.

Maybe that's the problem, you got hit too much as a kid and it gave you brain damage.

apparently youre correct.  if--when drmiler, as a small child, persisted in repeating something he knew to be a lie after being informed it was exactly that, blaming it on a cranky but  clever kid named andy who denied having anything to do with such crappy racist bombast--a guiding hand had zapped his ass a couple times with a switch, we wouldnt be discussing this at all.

Tell me how a life with no negative reinforcement at all teaches kids respect for others and other's property and I'll go along with you.

Most kids today (and I manage a fast-food place, so I know teenagers) have no real respect for their parents, teachers, the police, BOSSES, anything. They were never disciplined, either.
My generation is the last one where corporal punishment was considered the norm. We HAD respect. We lived. So would they.

Okay...point taken.

Look, when I see parents get mad at their kids for acting up and smack them hard, often out of anger, I see something wrong with that. In my opinion, parents should NEVER take out their anger on children, but it looks like I'm not going to stop you.
By the I graduated 3rd in my class of 520 so when using the word brainiac to describe me, you were right, and saying that I spelt one word wrong in my first post doesn't prove a point.
on Nov 18, 2004
You spelled it wrong twice, actually.
You must be one of those liberal intellectuals who've had all their common sense pushed out by academic book-learning. I've met people like you before. (Makes cross with fingers and backs away, slowly, wide-eyed)

I agree completely, but a child's bad behavior has to be answered, so they know where the line is and what they did to earn the punishment.
That way they learn "good" behavior. What can possibly be wrong with that?
on Nov 18, 2004
And...... there's something wrong with academic book-learning?

I'm not a liberal either, I'm a centrist. Read my political posts. I posted one recently that no-one has replied to yet.

Edit (Since you posted twice): I'm not implying that I do nothing about misbehavior, I just choose non-violence. I find time-outs to work semi-well in some cases, since the child is forced to think about what they did rather than pain, I didn't intend to imply that I let my kids do whatever they want. PERHAPS if a parent is in full control, and truly knows exactly how hard to do it so that they feel it, but don't feel pain, it might work, but all too often I see parents get frustrated and then use spanking, causing them to hit too hard and cause pain, and when a child is focused on pain, they are far less likely to actually connect it to what they actually did.

It seems to diminish one's ability to use common sense. It often comes from being exposed to left-leaning professors who indoctrinate young, impressionable minds with their idiotic, mushy-headed leftist bullshit.
I read a lot, myself, but I try to get views from many different points, not just the left, which is what seems to happen quite a bit in college.

That's why I like JU. Even lefties like Texas Wahine and Myrrander have written things I've agreed with from time-to-time.
