Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that says "I love New York" in Arabic.

I apologize if this has been posted before, but this funny man's no-nonsense plan for a more peaceful direction for America bears consideration:


"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, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, 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, the Middle East, and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed 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 whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will 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 will 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 foreign "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 nonpolluting 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 someplace 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 someplace. 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. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?

"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses." She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' "

I will garantee he didn't author ANY of that.

Williams is a hate American leftist.

This allegation is based on?

.. ever listened to him and his pal Crappy Goldberg?

Yeah, I kind of doubt he said any of that.

You seem to leave the quotation marks out of the "plan".

Is this your plan? It sounds like a good one.

If it is Robins' I would be amazingly surprised.

Just got it forwarded to me in an email.

Whosever plan it is, it makes perfect sense to me, and reflects much of my line of reasoning these last few years.

I'd like to see the points in the plan debated here, rather than simply attacking its purported author.

Never trust a forwarded email. Ever.

Ooops Igofast got it first.

So I guess I will just add that Spivey had a good rant about Williams in a post a couple years ago.

Thanks, snout, I never would have known!

I like the plan too, also regardless of the author.

I am not sure what there is to debate though.

Anyone have any thoughts on the message itself...the political course outlined? It really doesn't matter who wrote it.....:rolleyes:...Let's just say 100 chimpanzees sitting at 100 typewriters came up with it collaboratively...or maybe it originated as an anonymous letter to the editor....whatever. Are there points you agree with or disagree with?

while I hesitantly agree with a couple sentiments, it's a very overly simplistic view of world politics.

Thanks, snout, I never would have known!

Never known what? :confused:

Comedian -- Robin Williams
Simply because he's forever convinced people that "talent" equals "creativity" and "originality". Yes, he's talented, can we f**king get beyond that and focus on the howling void that is his creative well? He's a known joke thief, yet a recent LOS ANGELES TIMES MAGAZINE article actually DEFENDED his thievery by stating that he's a "...cultural Cuisinart, who absorbs everything he hears and sees around him, and then spits it back out at the world". Jesus, what nightmare parallel universe am I living in? The reason that Williams is such a "cultural Cuisinart" is because he has NO CREATIVE WELL. He has NOTHING ORIGINAL TO DRAW ON, so he simply repeats things his audience is already familiar with. John Lahr's profile of him in THE NEW YORKER was sickening (in he same paragraph, he compares Williams to a jazz artist, forever riding the ragged edge of disaster while he "riffs", then admits that his back-to-back shows at the Met were "...95% the same" -- make up your mind, Lahr!). Watching those trust-fund theater f*g culture mavens give Williams a standing O for his HBO special (wherein he passed off known Catskills "joke jokes" -- especially the "Jesus at the last supper" joke -- as if he were MAKING THEM UP ON THE SPOT) -- was unforgivable.
A baton twirler is "talented". But you don't go see a baton twirler to experience "creativity" and "originality". There's a big difference, but the generation coming up now can't spot it anymore.
The same thing happened in the early 90's, when "mean-spiritedness" replaced "dark comedy". In other words, the jocks took it over.

while I hesitantly agree with a couple sentiments, it's a very overly simplistic view of world politics.


On the contrary, I believe that a course of strict isolationism, restricted immigration, and thorough house-cleaning is just what the country needs at this time.

Whew! I knew something smelled fishy. Robin would never exhibit so much common sense IRL.

I see people still aren't heeding my wisdom :nonono: :D
Argh! People, verify yer darn e-mails! (http://www.discussanything.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87174)

Again, this "issue" as to who did or didn't write that plan in no way discounts its message.

Isolationism would put us at the beck and call of the rich and they would destroy the country with speculation.

FM I hope you elaborate on that a bit.

According to my "forwarded" email, that was all said by George Carlin. :rolleyes: If you believe anything you get from email now a days, shame on you.

When the USSR lost its ascendancy,it was catastrophic for American Labour-becasue with a powerful contendor the wealthy in this country needed a strong central government and there were government expenditures to offset the conundrums of whatever semblance of "Free Enterprise" was in existence-there was a hedge.
We're in an analogous phase now-China is holding our head above water and the trade with Mexico is important to us-it's a "hedge"-it's keeping the rich from drowning us.There's a bad glut,sir...

Foreign involvements have us seriously over-extended, and all this damned outsourcing is diminishing both the middle class and American standards.

Shame on you for missing the much-repeated point.

Shame on you for missing the much-repeated point.Wow, good one! :) Will you be here all night?

I agree with the last part for sure-but I think we need to rethink Mexico.Sewing up the border isn't practical.We have considerable influence down there-if we could get someone down there strong enough to do what needs to be done-a strong Mexico means a stronger American economy...

Wow, good one! :) Will you be here all night?


Do you always skim threads with spotty comprehension?

Do you always skim threads with spotty comprehension?Yes. Do you always make spotty assumptions about members? Guess so.

In truth, the venom of the verbal assault screams Carlin, but I've seen 'fake' monologues purported to be his online as well.
One never knows...

Shame on you for missing the much-repeated point.

I hate to be agreeing with him this many times in a row-who cares who wrote it?

Lol, don't stand in the way of a good fight! its the debates area, not the 'all nod in agreement area' :p

So now I got to argue with you about what the argument is? :confused:

Don't argue with me boy, just nod your head in agreement!

You just said nodding was out :confused:

Robin Williams is not funny.

He has made some fairly good movies. though. But he has far more turkeys than successes.

Unfortunately he has only ONE good character in him. He plays the Creepy, sex offender better than about anything else.

At least he is better than Adam Sandler, though. That idiot hasn't made a SINGLE good film.

Lol, Robin Williams is the shit! :D

I love him to death!

Further... I'd bet his "Creepy sex offender" character, the one he portrays so well, is just Williams being Williams!!

The man has been in movies for almost 30 years & you pick one role? What creepy sex offender are you talking about?
The only role he should feel shame for is Popeye...but we all make mistakes.

No,he's right,Williams was really good in that-he played opposite Pacino-Pacino accidentally shot his partner while on a man hunt for Williams who had killed a girl in a fit of rage. He did some other intersting serious stuff too-I think I like him better that way-I think he fits something real into the role-but that makes him a rare commodity...

Insomnia

In both he played the creepy sex offender. In both he nailed the character.

The only other movies he was in that I liked was the World According to Garp, the Birdcage (and THOSE was filled with sex offending, too) and Mrs Doubtfire.

The rest of his movies have failed miserably. And he has been in a LOT of failed movies!

Our tastes are probably similar then-I'm not a raving fan like certain wanton little cute faced vixens who will go unnamed.
