I seriously almost cried, that was the best piece of Andy Rooney I've ever seen.

This is the most touching piece I've seen from Mr. Rooney

@rocketnerd Your sarcasm fails to an extremely large extend, despite of how easy it is not to let that get by you, you still do. I'd say that is a feat in itself, were it not a so commonly shared trait among the religiously obsessed.

Know thyself before thou knoweth others, or something in that ghost.

[rocketnerd]

@godverdegodverdomme Right again. Nothing gets by you.

[godverdegodverdomme]

@rocketnerd "Thank you for your valuable insight."

You have youtube's 500 character limit to thank for that, I can only fit in so much.

Besides, do not be so hypocritical. You started to demonize me didn't you?

"People like you" remember? You catagorized and patronized me without knowing shit

about me to begin with.

[rocketnerd]

@godverdegodverdomme yes, yes. villify me. Demonize me. Attack me personally. You're right. I have no idea what is going on. But you? You are sensational! I consider myself enlightened by your every word. I hope our future generations are just like you. Thank you for your valuable insight.

@rocketnerd "Gravity is a theory"

Yes ofcourse gravity is a theory, what is your point?

Theories are anything but glorified ideas, and you leave the impression

you have no clue whatsoever how the scientific world works, or what a theory is.

A scientific theory is not the same as a quickly brainstormed theory with no research

or peer reviewing to back it up. Yet you treat it as such.

[godverdegodverdomme]

@rocketnerd We have no biases about such topics. You make the claim, so YOU have to show

evidence for it. That's the way the world works, and it is very simple to understand.

People like you however, have failed time upon time upon time, since the beginning of religious

activity, to prove your position or theirs for that matter, is correct.

And what have we done? We have shown you through intricate logic that your ideology is utter bullshit,

each and every time. You just fail to admit defeat.

[rocketnerd]

@godverdegodverdomme - There is nothing out there that will PROVE validity to people like you. Your always looking for the answers that agree with your biases. Proof is really faith at the end of the day. I.E., you drop something and it inevitably hits the ground. You assume that happens because of something that you read in a book written by a scientist. Is that credible? Gravity is a theory. Ptolemy had a theory that the earth was the center of the solar system. Theories are glorified ideas.

[godverdegodverdomme]

@rocketnerd War is not the nature of men either. It is the nature of a select group of demented monsters

that happen to make calls from "higher up". The book of genesis? That proves nothing whatsoever since

it is in no way, shape, or form, a credible source of information.

I usually brush off what Andy says as the trivial ramblings of a bitter old man, but this was particularly insightful and touching way of looking at war and Memorial Day.

@rocketnerd if it were woman it would be just as bad in a different way
