See all 33 Commentsworry about the future of America whenever I read any posts or comments online. The grammar and the spelling, especially the spelling, of these responses bode ill for any hope of a competitive American workforce. Or maybe only high school dropouts are posting.
Anyway, to address the source of their (not "they're" or "there", OK?) indignation, one would have had a vocation that had paid vacation time, if one had an ejucashun.
Real Americans don't begrudge another American's success, also known as "The American Dream".
There are so many of us desperately trying to stay afloat, and this clueless commentary was a slap in the face to people who fear EVERY DAY that the lives they have worked hard for are going to be snatched away forever. I know I do. Over the last 18 months, I have watched everything I have worked for slowly erode away from me.
This segment was so irresponsible and cruel, I'm shocked it was actually aired. If I had any money to spend these days, I'd boycott CBS advertisers in protest, but I guess since I don't, I don't count for anything.
Mr Rooney is not responsible for your professional or financial misfortunes. He is an elderly free citizen who fought for the freedom of the world and his country and his weekly commentaries is a small payment for his services towards the free rights of man. Despite his old age he still works taking 4 months of holiday per year. If YOU are fortunate enough to reach half of his age you should thank god if you find yourself having half of this mans wisdom motivation and love for ones country. The insulting comments written thus far only shows the character of defeated individuals whose biased judgment translates to anger . Mr rooney served his country and through his commentaries one should be able to get the message provided one has a normothymic non-biased mood.
As one of the fortunate Americans that are still working, I only have time for one remark regarding your latest tirade. If you are so unhappy, trade places for one day with us. Maybe then you will appreciate what you have. For my vacation, I stayed home and did repairs around the house. I did get to spend Labor Day by a friend's pool.
Oh, by the way, get your barber to trim your eye brows. They are disgusting. Who told you that you look good with those things.
Get a real life like everyone else.
