I stopped taking this seriously after #7... some of this is good advice, much of it is bulls**t that I doubt was written by any "old man."

He did get the last one right though.

I'd trash about half of this...

I firmly agree that this wasn't written by an old man.

I'd give credit to a little more than half of it though.

Yes, certainly true. But there was some good stuff to be gleaned from amongst the misogynistic crap.

Mama told me, when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely, to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.

Ohh take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come, and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

(Chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Oh be somethin you'll love and understand.
Baby be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(Chorus)

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(Chorus)

No. He said 97%!
Weren't you paying attention?

Well, obviously he's trashing roughly 50% of the last point too, which gives him the 50% :)

Good find......those are MOST of the words I try to live by but its always to to hear it.

I think he could have done with out #7 also and instead change it to

"Don't trust politicians, they all have their own agenda and most strive for power and control- make up your own mind; don't be a sheep and don't follow a party"
