    Bill Cosby is tired

    From an email I got:

    "I'm 76 and I'm Tired"

    I'm 76. Except for a 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 madrassa 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 un-employable and claiming money from the Government.

    Yes, I'm **** tired. But I'm also glad to be 76... Because, mostly, I'm not

    going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for

    my granddaughter and her children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not

    on the way in.

    Praise be my Lord my Rock,
    He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

    Really?

    If you got the BOGUS email, it's time to hit DELETE!
    There's an email floating around - entitled "I'm 76 and tired" - purportedly sent by me. I did not write the email, I did not send the email, I'm not 76, and I don't subscribe to the ugly views expressed in the email. We are coming up to an important anniversary on Sunday, which is a day when we should all come together. Whoever wrote this email is not thinking about our country, or what is important. If you get the email, it's time to hit DELETE.

    You know what else I'm tired of? Millionaires who think they are entitled to paying 15% in taxes on income from investment dividends and capital gains.

    Paying less than half of what people who actually work for a living do is the ultimate entitlement.

    Ah so it wasn't from him? interesting.
    Having heard some of his views before, some of what was mentioned seemed in line with what he said.
    Is that a poke at Romney?

    One may agree with the views but of they were NOT expressed by Bill and someone is saying they are then that is simply fraud.

    Mohameds interpretation of God's will was just that, HIS interpretation.
    That those that came after agreed with it, well...it makes you wonder what environment they wanted to create and what environment they were in to go along with it.
    I think it is always important to realize that it isn't the person that voices an opinion, an interpretation, that cause people to do horrific things.
    Heck free will is a ***** in that regard and NO MUSLIM ( or any other member of any religion or faith) can ever fall back on the "that was what I was told" excuse.
    If more people realized that, perhaps things would be far different.
    One must make a conscious decision about who's words we will follow, who's words we will accepted as being "Of God".

    He also told his followers that it was perfectly ok to trick non muslims into being muslims. I wonder how many people Mohammed tricked and lied to prior to becoming a muslim. LOL

    We may never know, what we do know is that MANY were and still are, willing to die and kill for the interpretation of one man's idea of God's will.
    What we must realize is that it is not HIS fault, but THEIR fault.
    If one truly believes in a God and that doing certain things and believing certain things gives one eternal life or eternal punishment, then you would think that those people would understand the consequences of THEIR choices and actions.
    Alas, it doesn't seem to be the case and far too many think they can "get off " on the technicality of " Hey, this is what I was told to believe".
    People don't want to accept THEIR responsibility in all this.

    We also need to realize that Muslims have no monopoly on doing boneheaded, evil things in the name of religion. They happen to be doing it in the Information Age when everybody can see it, but let's not forget the long, long, long, long litany of hideous things people across the globe have done in the nameS of their religionS.

    Including:
    - Protestants and Catholics slaughtering each other all over Europe over differences in belief
    - Japanese in WWII engaging in Kamikaze attacks, civilian suicide and the atrocities done across Asia (Rape of Nanking, anyone?) in the name of nationalist religion
    - Spanish Inquisition
    - Puritans burning women at the stake/hanging them on suspicion of witchcraft
    - Spanish Catholic slaughter and subjugation of the Native American populations in the southwestern US and across Central/South America, done in the name of religion
    - Christians shooting abortion clinic doctors
    - Aparteid-esque policies of the state of Israel against the Arab populations within its borders and controlled lands

    This list could go on for a long, long, long time. But here's the thing: Should we indict all Catholics, Christians and Jews for the evil actions that some do in their name? Nope.

    It'd be like saying that every German approves of and is actively engaged in Nazi atrocities, like every American approves of and is actively engaged in the My Lai Massacre. And that would be dumb.
