Bill Cosby confirms “I’m 83 and Tired” email is a fake

[lonewolf]

I received that email speech, from a normally intelligent person that did not bother to do their home work.

It was suspect to me as soon as I read it. I sent them a message back, and told them to stop spreading false information.

Why do people want to make up such nonsense if it's not true? Some things just boggle the mind.

First of all, Bill is 75. He and my father grew up knowing each other, although Bill is 6 years 9 months younger than Daddy is. My Uncle Eddie (Daddy's kid brother) is closer to Bill's age, actually.

So why would anybody think Bill would post/email anything along the lines of "I'm 83 and tired" when he's only 75???
Wheel and come again?! Please!!!

Don't listen to anything anyone says about Bill Cosby. If you want to know about him, follow his FB page and/or his Twitter accts. Those are for real. (ie - really him)
Or ask me, and I'll ask Daddy to call Bill to ask him directly.

too bad I can't count to save my life - dwl

Daddy is 82, not yet 83 - so Bill is still 75, not yet 76. Duh!

"I'm 76 and I'm Tired" by Bill CosbyI'm 76. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National Service, I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very 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 offense; 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 mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia, New Zealand, UK, America and Canada, while no one from these countries are 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 themselves 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 granddaughter and her children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in.
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!

he should have made that speech because quite frankly i'm tired of all these loogans as well.

thanks RichD
