The World Thru My Eyes - I speak my mind and man does it like to talk.

I got an email that I think it's funny enough to be posted here. The guys reponse to the female interviewer may seem harsh but makes a point, a strong one.

General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.


Read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.


It is a portion of an ABCradio interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military Headquarters.


FEMALE INTERVIEWER:

So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?


GENERAL COSGROVE:

We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.



FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?


GENERAL COSGROVE:

I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.



FEMALE INTERVIEWER:

Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?


GENERAL COSGROVE:

I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.



FEMALE INTERVIEWER:

But you're equipping them to become violent killers.


GENERAL COSGROVE:

Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?


The radiocastwent silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the interview was over.

Sorry mate, this is another one of those pesky email hoaxs. Link

as a former soldier myself, I agree with him 100%.  I picked up my first rifle (on a supervised range, at a CHRISTIAN summer camp) at age 12.  Here I am, at 25, and I didn't once bring a gun to school, shoot anyone I wasn't supposed to, or endanger anyone.  Guess I'm just an 'aberration', according to this interviewer.

If only this really happened.

I admit I failed to check this before posting but you gotta admit it was a clever response, even if fake. Besides, I did put it in the humor section after all.

If only this really happened.

True, still makes a good point though.

Agreed, it does indeed.

That was probably the funniest response to the violent killers arguement I've ever heard.

on Apr 24, 2009

That's funny! I don't care who ya are.

Or just get rid of both parties

That's the ticket.
