Anyone Else Feel This Way?

Are you 76 and tired?

It makes you reflect.

"I'm 76 and I'm Tired"


I'm 76. 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 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
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 themselves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making
themselves un-employable and claiming money from the Government.


Yes, I'm damn 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.

From Bill Cosby himself:

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 [the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks], 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.

[daredevil]

I feel that way whoever said it.

 

[NJRR]

X2

I feel that way whoever said it.

 

[cr8crshr]

WOWWWWWWWW!!!!! I guess I should have checked it out before I posted it. Seemed legit from whence it came. Still pretty much sums up the majority mood though in this Country. Oh Well...If it doesn't effect you then move on I guess...cr8crshr/Tuck

 

[fwi]

It really does not matter if Bill Cosby said it or not, what matters is it is the way a lot of people feel today! And I totally agree with it.

 

[69a100]

And all we seem to do is piss & moan about it instead of doing something to stop it! Make's it more sad than the problem it's self.

 

[BigBlock61]

This is a topic that can really get me worked up, but don't worry I wouldn't do that here. Cr8tcrshr you read it, agreed with it and decided to share it. Thats cool, but I do wonder why someone has to attach their words to someone famous, These things pop up all the time on the internet, this famous person said this or this famous person believes that. Why can't the writer just put their work out there. If they fear reprisals, just leave it anonymous. The words are still valid without it being attached to someone famous. Back to my homework now.

I feel that way whoever said it.

:iamwithstupid: X3, I didn't figure it was Bill Cosby, the comedian anyway, might be another guy named Bill Cosby, but the comedian he's an Obama supporter & a Progressive Liberal, I've seen him on a few talk shows lately, pushing his new stand up routine, CD/DVD or Book or what ever & he doesn't think Obama is Liberal enough, that he should have done even more... Good/Great clean comedian, but that's about where I draw the line... He's still a Hollyweird Liberal Elitist for the most part...

Bill Cosby never had anything to do with "The Little Rascals".
