He really said that shit too. I saw it when it originally aired in 1994.
Huh, I didn’t think I held many things sacred but using Mr Rodger’s for this kind of got me mad.
What do you do with the mad that you feel
When you feel so mad you could bite?
When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong…
And nothing you do seems very right?
What do you do? Do you punch a bag?
Do you pound some clay or some dough?
Do you round up friends for a game of tag?
Or see how fast you go?
It’s great to be able to stop
When you’ve planned a thing that’s wrong,
And be able to do something else instead
And think this song:
I can stop when I want to
Can stop when I wish
I can stop, stop, stop any time.
And what a good feeling to feel like this
And know that the feeling is really mine.
Know that there’s something deep inside
That helps us become what we can.
For a girl can be someday a woman
And a boy can be someday a man.I think he would have appreciated this, after someone explained to him what memes are.
Right. And if you’re going to do it at least do it right.
At least make his tie grumpy cat, or Harambe.
It upsets me, how many people spell his name wrong.
But Mister Rogers would let it go.
Ok, I understand that this is a shitpost. I also understand that the intent is to be encouraging. I think Mr. Rogers would understand that and perhaps support it. What I really don’t agree with here is mincing the words of probably the only person that the entirety of the US is not only OK with, but supports. In the US, be you Liberal, GQP, or whatever middle or adjacent views you have - this is the most loved person in all of media.
There are hundreds of quotes from him that anyone with an IQ over 20 universally agree with. I know that this is kind of a rant; but please let his words, and only his words, speak for themselves;
GQP

Mr. Rogers had, they claimed, destroyed an entire generation with his liberal notions of entitlement. As the originator of the snowflake concept, he was an “evil, evil man.” The show’s moderators cited unnamed “experts” and a professor at Louisiana State University.
Always nice to have a reminder about how absolutely wretched Fox News is as an organization
