Bill Cosby "I'm 76 and Tired"- Worth reading. ....................................................................................................... "I'm 76 and I'm 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 "honour"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offence; 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, Canada and America, while no-one from these countries is 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 bedeck them selves 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 grand-daughter and her children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in.

Another three terrorists to dodge deportation by using Human Rights Act to stay in Britain Fanatics will claim they could face ill-treatment in their homelands Trio are among dozens of dangerous fundamentalists due to be released By Chris Greenwood and Sam Greenhill 27th September 2011 dailymail.co.uk A trio of foreign terrorists convicted of plotting mayhem in Britain are poised to use human rights laws to dodge deportation. The three fanatics will claim they could face ill-treatment if they return to their homelands because of the notoriety of their crimes. They are among dozens of dangerous fundamentalists jailed since the September 11 attacks set to be released on to the streets. Free to roam the streets: Abdullah Ali at a bus stop with members of the public, with faces obscured to protect their identity It comes the day after the Mail told how July 21 bomb plot supporter Siraj Yassin Abdullah Ali has avoided deportation to his native Eritrea because it would breach his human rights. Despite being graded as the highest possible risk, he now mingles freely with the Londoners his co-plotters tried to kill on the capital’s transport network six years ago. More... Terrorist we can't kick out: Released after half his sentence but still 'a risk to the public'... the suicide bomb fanatic who's free to stay - thanks to his human rights RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: These terrorists should all be wearing orange jumpsuits, not jumping on a red London bus Terror suspects 'had made martyrdom video to be released once they carried out UK bomb plot' RIGHTMINDS: Another triumph for British justice, writes MICHAEL BURLEIGH The newly revealed trio of convicted fanatics will instruct their taxpayer-funded legal teams to oppose deportation on human rights grounds. This is because they come from countries that cannot guarantee their safety due to their poor records of protecting citizens from violence. Judges have already demonstrated they are unwilling to return terrorists to some African states, including Somalia and Eritrea. Poised to appeal: Somalian Ismail Abdurahman, Moroccan Younes Tsouli and Somalian Wahbi Mohammed Many of those released are graded as the highest possible risk and their presence on the streets is putting huge strain on security agencies tasked with monitoring them. Those likely to fight deportation on their release include internet expert Younes Tsouli, 28, who ran websites with instructions on how to make suicide vests. The Al Qaeda supporter faces being sent back to Morocco but instability in the country means he could use the Human Rights Act to argue he would be in danger. 'Not only is a convicted terrorist permitted to stay in Britain indefinitely, but before we have turned around he will be granted asylum' Wahbi Mohammed, 28, the brother of failed July 21 suicide bomber Ramzi Mohammed, could be released within months after winning an appeal to shorten his sentence. He faces deportation to Somalia but could oppose the bid on the grounds that he could be ill-treated in the war-torn country. Ismail Abdurahman, 28, was released from prison several weeks ago after just three years behind bars for helping the July 21 bombers in 2005. He is now staying at a bail hostel after winning an appeal against a bid to send him to Somalia. The Government said it was ‘extremely disappointed’ with the decision. The disclosure that foreign terrorists are turning the country where they once plotted mayhem into a safe haven has sparked outrage from terror victims, politicians and police. Under Article 3 of both the European Convention on Human Rights, and Labour’s Human Rights Act, individuals are protected against torture, inhuman or degrading treatment. The clause allows foreign terror suspects to fight deportation on the grounds that they would be tortured. Graham Foulkes, whose 22-year-old son David was killed in the July 7 attacks on London, said more pressure must be put on the Government to put the rights of ordinary people first. He said he would confront Home Secretary Theresa May about the issue when he meets her today to discuss the attacks. Sir Andrew Green, of MigrationWatch UK, said: ‘This is almost beyond belief. Not only is a convicted terrorist permitted to stay in Britain indefinitely, but before we have turned around he will be granted asylum. ‘That will give him full access to the British welfare state for life and potentially the right to bring relatives here.’ Tory MP Patrick Mercer said: ‘These individuals have tried to kill British citizens and I see no reason that the British taxpayer should continue to give them hospitality.’ The Home Office said it was ‘as frustrated as everyone else with these cases’, adding: ‘We believe any criminal convicted of a serious terrorism-related offence should be removed from the UK at the earliest opportunity.’ Read more: dailymail.co.uk
