From Robin Williams on "Peace"

Peace



Pretty good logic -



Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan... what we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.



Robin Williams' plan... (Hard to argue with this logic!)

I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan

for peace. So, here's one plan:



1. The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their

affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Noriega,

Milosovich and the rest of those 'good ole boys.' We will never

"interfere" again.



2.We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with

Germany, South Korea, and the Philippines They don't want us there. We

would station troops at our borders. No one sneaking through holes in the fence.



3. ALL illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and

leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will

be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless

of who or where they are. France would welcome them.



4. All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90

days unless given a special permit. No one from a terrorist nation would be

allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide

here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more

cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.



5. No "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they

don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.



6. The US will make a strong effort to become self -sufficient energy

wise. This will include developing non-polluting sources of energy but

will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou

will have to cope for a while.



7. Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel

for their oil. If they don't like it, we go some place else. They can go

somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells

filling up the storage sites would be enough.)



8. If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we

will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain,

cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen

or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if

anything.



9. Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island some place.! We

don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would

make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.



10. All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one

can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer.



Now, ain't that a winner of a plan.



"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your poor, your

tired, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling,

'You want a piece of me?'"



If you agree with any, or all of the above forward this to your

friends

Robin Williams



I just fell in love with Robin all over again ;)

I'm afraid it's not his plan, though. The last bit about the Statue of Liberty is a quote of his, which was apparently added to the original plan message during the early stages of it's Internet propogation. This caused the entire plan to be incorrectly attrbuted to Robin Williams as it continued to make it's way around the net. The original author is unknown.

Here's the snopes file on it:

Reading the first post I was very disappointed and surprised someone who seems so intelligent (genius IMO) would write this. I'm glad it is bogus.

how anyone could think one of the greatest living comedians could write such utter fucking redneck dogshit is totally beyond me. why are people so dumb?

watching islamophobic neocon shitfuckers desperately try and attach their ludicrous rantings with a celebrity in order to give it some some sort of weight cracks me right the hell up though.

Robin Williams is a hairy herpes-ridden junkie. Those are not his beliefs and I'm glad Snopes sniffed that out.

God help me for wearing a Nano-Nano shirt in my youth, and the rainbow suspenders.

why do people actually believe the bullshit that other people forward them in emails.


I dont think i've gotten an email in the last 10 years that actually was true.

LOL...no way he wrote this. Whomever thought they could pass this off as Robin Williams writting thinks way, way, way too much of his/herself!

I was like "what, Robin said this crap?". Glad it's not true.

well whoever wrote it - I think it is funny and interesting

I don't interpret it as a piece of right wing red neck radicalism

but rather as a satire - that makes some interesting points

I think if you look at it - the writer doesn't really intend in any way to support what he is saying - but is rather pointing the possible outcomes of such isolationism

that is just my take

Hmm, redneck-ism as satire, now that's a spin you don't think of everyday. That alone earnes you an 'A' for creative thinking.

Wasn't this same thing passed around with Dennis Miller's name on it?

I don't think that I have read any e-mail other than from people I know.

There's nothing satirical about that list. It's a bumper crop of dogshit written by a person riding the bus to Ignornace U. each and every day

I don't agree with many of those points, but you have to admit that there are several that will strike a chord with a large percentage of the US population.

Illegal aliens, troops in foriegn countries, and energy sources in particular.

Sure signs of something strange afoot. Little flags should go off anytime you read something that suggests forwarding it to everyone.

The whole list is complete and utter short-sighted, isolationist wank, and as such it belongs in the "current events" forum w/ all the other political horseshit. You could pour alphabet soup over a printout of that and get a better foreign relations policy.
