Not all. When Nazi Germans were marching on our Russian territories killing people and destroying cities and towns - our great grandparents had to fights. They did it NOT for Stalin or pride or republic, the way westerners think. They fought for own survival as a population.
***** I don't agree. I'm not against ethnic pride at all. I think it's important to self esteem. In fact, the reason whites seem to dominate everything is because non-whites don't have enough of it. They let their white preference show too much, so they never develop their own sense of self worth.(That's why non-whites draw themselves or portray them selves in movies as whiter-looking than they actually are). You need some pride, or you'll end up a servant race/culture.
John NoNameGibbon The reason white europeans dominated a lot of the world is because they had the best resources. National or ethnic pride isn't necesarry at all. There's a fine line between pride and arrogance

Hello. Just an FYI, you put the comments in the wrong order. The "Someone's wasting their fucking time!" comment was what the "Could it be.... everyone?" comment was following up and was an answer to. Implying that everyone (the folks on both sides of the opposing prayers) who is praying for that shit is wasting their time. It's a great thought process, though.

This is actually the entire mentality of why racism still exists. People love to preach for their own kind; whites, Irish what have you. Because of this it’s easy to see why they would prefer congregation among only their own kind. Thus it becomes commonplace within their kind to indirectly hate outsiders. Like, they may not even know they hate people in the “out group”, but let’s just say they’d secretly prefer their daughter date, let’s say for this example, a white Irish guy like them instead of a black guy. It’s human tribalism in its finest!
Damn...this is pure wisdom!!! George Carlin spent his lifetime trying to enlighten America and humanity in general! But..unfortunately, I think it has worked very little!
Yes and NO. I don't know anyone who does not love George Carlin....if they know about him. Once they've heard him, everyone goes, yeah, he's right. So that awareness is a good thing. I think he has done a great deal to spread this awareness...yes why are we with Trump and this big mess....The whole reason the Jon Stewart Show went on was in reaction to George Bush Jr. becoming president. Stewart, Colbert, et al thought there should be a strong alternative perspective. IT worked, and when Bush was out, the show had accomplished was it set out to do. I know a lot of my students got their NEWS from Jon Stewart rather than the papers. IMO, it was the truth, and it was so necessary when he, like Trump, royally screwed things up....but every day Stewart was there commenting day by day about what was going on. He filled a much needed void. Yes, like many others here, I wish Carlin could come back. Robin WIlliams was also a great social commentator.

Bang on, bang on, and bang on George. We can learn a hell of a lot more from a 4 minute Carlin rant than from a lifetime of politicians, presidents, and newscasters.
I dont find a lot of what george vcarlin says funny at all.. I find it enthralling and frighteningly true and wonder why the world is still the same way and worse than it was..
they say truth is stranger than fiction and as to why people laugh at the stuff as they can't actually handle the factual elements to what he is saying to us.
Because most people's life sucks, so they don't feel like spending huge amounts of time researching each and every lie politics tell us...because there are so damn many lies you will not have any free time left :-( Wait for the next wallstreet crash to have some fun on the streets!

"I'm proud to be Irish? Being Irish isn't a skill, it's a genetic accident. You wouldn't say I'm proud to have a predisposition for colon cancer." God I miss him.
Carlin calls out bullshit in any form. Left or right. If he was around today, he would be attacked by the liberal media for calling out leftwing bullshit, even if he equally (or more so) did that with the right, which you know he would. You know how celebrities these days are bullied into apologizing for making a politically incorrect statement? I can just imagine them trying to do that with Carlin. He'd be like "Fuck you!" and that would be the end of it. But I don't think they would. He's already established himself that he is not one to cave into uniform mentality, so I assume they would know better.
@@aaronharlow2137 If Carlin was alive today he'd be 84 or something close to it. No way anyone would be calling out such an acknowledged and widely beloved comedy veteran like him on jack shit.
Very well said on pride. It is very strange how so many people think something they were born with makes them deserved of praise or attention. It is only a place to start, nothing more. As in say you're born of a certain ethnic heritage but you devote part of your life to extensive research on your ancestors history, customs and language and can speak well on the subject then that is something I would respect. That's a better way to honor your heritage and something to be proud of.
When I first watched this when it came out on HBO, I didn't understand George and wished he was like he was in the past. Now, here in the future, I learned he was spot on.
The definition of GENIUS: Convincing people to pay money to come listen to you basically tell them how stupid they are, then watching them laughing without realising theyre laughing at how stupid they are.
This man has a natural talent of throwing BULLSHIT which is totally NOT bullshit in the most fascinating way that not only makes you laugh but is just spot on!
Realism & Patriotism I think it's more idiocy which is bliss. But you'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to be unaware of everything and care about nothing.
teppolundgren Well, at the very least we agree on the latter as for your latest comment. May you forever burn eternally for speaking such ills. Clearly idiocy is to be cherished, as we are after all made in the image and likeness of the grand idiot of the heavenly domain.
national pride and ethnic pride is bullshit. the moment you have a feeling of superiority over any ethnicity or nation is an instant sign of prejudice and it means you have pride towards your nationality or ethnicity. ask yourself why do you have pride towards it? where does this pride come from? and you'll realize its pride based upon nothing. like George said, pride should be reserved for something you've accomplished or obtained on your own through your hard work and effort. i remember every morning i would raise my right arm up against my chest saying "i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god , indivisible, with liberty and justice for all" staring at the red white and blue flag as it went up the pole. now i realized it was just a routine part of the brainwashing system we live in today. a system that will automatically shut of our brains not to doubt our country, never to question our government, America is always on your side. i guess patriotism is a form of prejudice to a certain extent. but then again just because you love your country doesn't mean you hate others. or do you? hmmmm

Teach your kids to question. George was cruelly honest. He told the truth. You know this because it is absolutely true today and will be so in 50 years, 100 years, 1000 years. Truth!
Hahahahaah I never cared about pride not to mention national pride since I am a modest person and hate to brag about stuff. A nationality is just something written on a paper and I just use it to get advantages like being prioritized in a job interview and such. National pride only causes people to get butthurt when they hear people talking bad about their country (America for example). I dont give a fuck about my ethnic and I have never cared for history either. I dont live in the past. Yes, I am happy that they created many awsome things but I wont be jumping in to some readings just because they created miracles.
+Shinji D I don't care about my origins either... much... but we still got to respect where we came from, especially parents and by extension grandparents still alive and therefore their cultural matters .

They got you by the balls, they can summon you anytime they wish and if you don't, don't blame life for being a dick to you for rejecting your relatives wishes. Not saying you do it all the time but you do it whenever you got the time.
One of the things I agree with the most with Carlin, I've never really felt pride for anything, I've only ever felt happy or at least content with who I am and what I've done.
Ol’ George makes perfect sense on this. If you’re ‘proud’ of having accidentally being born in a certain place, you’re delusional. Are you then, by the same token, as willing to profess your shame for the bad aspects of your nation? Unless you actively contribute to that state of affairs, it makes no sense. It’s not all clear cut, of course. Should Canadians, for instance, be proud of the Rockies? Say what? If so, then maybe they should nationally ashamed of the street drug problem in East Hastings Street, Vancouver. Really? Or should that shame perhaps be reserved for the local city council? Oh wait, doesn’t their revenue come from the taxpayers, who are the citizens? Not so clear who should be feeling pride or shame here. Or how about this: should millennial Germans be proud of being born German? If so, should they bear its opposite: shame? And for what? Should they, for example, be ashamed of Auschwitz? Why? Did they contribute to that madness? Be horrified and appalled, yes. But to take on some kind of national culpability when you weren’t even born? Makes no sense - exactly the same thing with national pride.
With all due respect to Carlin... Saying "Black Pride," "Latino Pride" or "Native Pride" isn't about assigning some undeserved value to yourself for something you didn't do, it's about standing up to a system that's all too happy to beat you down for that same accident of birth he's describing. Saying you have pride in the color of your skin is announcing that in spite of all that, you're still here and still fighting in your own way. When your accomplishments are that liable to be undermined at every turn, I'd say that's definitely something to be proud of.
Your confusion, Rishi, is that nobody is suggesting that white lives don't matter, or straight, or male. Those all go without saying. BLM is not here to demean the importance of white people, they are here to increase the importance of black people. In other words, if people weren't actively fighting for black lives, then chances are that they would go on not mattering in the eyes of the government and institutions. Same goes for gay rights and feminism. It's not irrational or subjective. Straight white men are absolutely prioritised in America. That's not their fault, and they shouldn't feel guilty about it, but they should be aware of it and understand the importance of what BLM etc does. George Carlin would absolutely support these movements - he was always critical of government, after all.

does God even exist? Or is he/She/It little more then the grande delusion mankind has created in order to soften the blow of our own inevitable deaths? And something for the privledged few.. to brow beat everyone else over the head, and divide us against one another in order to maintain the Status Quo? Religion more often then not, throughout mankind's history has served as little more then the "vindication' for some of the most inhumane acts humanity has ever perpetuated against itself. All in the name of "GOD AND COUNTRY', Ad Naseum.
By all means Believe whatever you wish, I am neither for, nor against any religon. I simply remain healthily skeptical of it all.
That rawness.. that honesty .. I love that.
Genius. This man can remember 3 minutes or more of everything. Words come out like bullets. I can't remember 3 sentences let alone a whole bit!!! Brilliant, talented and very, very funny. The only other comedian that came anywhere George is probably Dave Chappelle. George is number one and then there's everybody else. George, I know you didn't believe in God or heaven and hell so I won't say, rip. You are now part of the earth and I'm sure that's just fine with you. Love you and thanks for making me laugh all these years.
I simply cant get enough of this guy. I keep scanning UA-cam for more & more. Was such a wise soul.
So true on so many levels.
Every goddamn human on the planet should watch this special. Maybe we could save humanity after all.
Alex Amerling So true.
Sorry, but that is not am option. Humanity is way too fucked up by this point, and the only thing we can do is to pray that it goes exctinct as soon as possible
this is humanity what you see around you that's what we have to offer humans where never good but then again what we perceive to be morality is just chemical reactions in the brain we are born from chaos and fall from entropy.
i dont bullshit my kid. he questions everything. its worth it but fucking hard.
Good on you man! Keep at it. We need more skeptics in this world! :)
somebody's gonna be disappointed
somebody's wasting their fucking time
could it be... everyone?
I'd rather children hear this tidbit about pride than be forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
Ragitsu If you dont like America, leave!
Shs
1. Ragitsu didn't say he didn't like America. He just said he didn't want his children forced (keyword" "forced") to recite a pledge. That's it.
2. Who the fuck gave you the authority to tell anyone where to go?
Lord Papi Darkwing TYPICAL, IDIOT response.
@G G where is gay in this?
He really had a unique way of looking at the world. He did not buy into a lot of the bullshit we get fed on a daily basis. He was probably one of the greatest social commentators that has ever lived.
Great speech from a great man! R.I.P. George i miss you
He was such a genius.. he was such an intellectual and was and always will be one of the best comedians of all times.. I will remember him... question everything.
In my eyes he was a modern philosopher! So smart, so truthful, so talented and always on point!
Bang on, bang on, and bang on George. We can learn a hell of a lot more from a 4 minute Carlin rant than from a lifetime of politicians, presidents, and newscasters.
Truthful words by George Carlin never die Immortalized through time.
This man was brilliant. His delivery, how he doesn’t have a filter, his philosophies and how he translated them into comedy, was genius. R.IP George
When it comes to drinking being Irish is actually a skill.
lol
To be specific, I think it's more like a character trait or a passive skill
,,Pride comes before fall''. Another awesome lecture from a guy who I undoubtedly would call a leader
I dont find a lot of what george vcarlin says funny at all.. I find it enthralling and frighteningly true and wonder why the world is still the same way and worse than it was..
Dumbass
Well his last two specials he had basically stopped telling jokes and had moved onto social commentary. His earlier stuff is full of laughs.
Vanadeo Agreed. He tried to wake people up. A very brave and good man.
they say truth is stranger than fiction and as to why people laugh at the stuff as they can't actually handle the factual elements to what he is saying to us.
Because most people's life sucks, so they don't feel like spending huge amounts of time researching each and every lie politics tell us...because there are so damn many lies you will not have any free time left :-( Wait for the next wallstreet crash to have some fun on the streets!
This guy after decades of watching still kills me on how ahead of his times he was and more so, how on the spot he was with many of his topics. He called it like it is:
4 legs, a tail and barking....its a Gosh damn dog....period.
Genius.
"I'm proud to be Irish? Being Irish isn't a skill, it's a genetic accident. You wouldn't say I'm proud to have a predisposition for colon cancer." God I miss him.
Carlin was on point. Some people say he was too to the left. No. He would never put himself in any of them categories
Carlin calls out bullshit in any form. Left or right. If he was around today, he would be attacked by the liberal media for calling out leftwing bullshit, even if he equally (or more so) did that with the right, which you know he would. You know how celebrities these days are bullied into apologizing for making a politically incorrect statement? I can just imagine them trying to do that with Carlin. He'd be like "Fuck you!" and that would be the end of it. But I don't think they would. He's already established himself that he is not one to cave into uniform mentality, so I assume they would know better.
@@aaronharlow2137 If Carlin was alive today he'd be 84 or something close to it. No way anyone would be calling out such an acknowledged and widely beloved comedy veteran like him on jack shit.
Great comedian!!! Thanks, George!!!Laughter is the best medicine for this troubled world!!!
Proud to have a heart valve prolapse.
My dad always taught me to question what I hear, even his own words. I always appreciated that, but even more now.
maybe it's because he heard we have 18 delicious flavors of classic Rice-A-Roni 😂😂😂
I would have loved, to be at a party with George... WE definitely would have been buds lol
miss this guy a lot. i never thought i would catch him quoting the bible.. haha
there is no need for that. just leave it alone.
you are just another person spreading his agenda and i would appreciate it if you wouldn't piggy back on my comment. thanks. good bye.
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who is not proud where he is born or what ethnicity he come from!
Same
Very well said on pride. It is very strange how so many people think something they were born with makes them deserved of praise or attention. It is only a place to start, nothing more. As in say you're born of a certain ethnic heritage but you devote part of your life to extensive research on your ancestors history, customs and language and can speak well on the subject then that is something I would respect. That's a better way to honor your heritage and something to be proud of.
When I first watched this when it came out on HBO, I didn't understand George and wished he was like he was in the past. Now, here in the future, I learned he was spot on.
I was lucky enough to see Carlin live 30 years ago.
This man was a fucking genius! He's good now though. He already left this fucked up world.
He's free of this messed up world now. And people like him are hopefully well rewarded when they leave.
russell brand is following his footsteps
Please, dear. Elaborate. A link to some of his better work, perhaps?
18 delicious flavors of Classic Rice a roni 🤣🤣🤣
George was a man after my own heart.
i agree with everything he said
The definition of GENIUS:
Convincing people to pay money to come listen to you basically tell them how stupid they are, then watching them laughing without realising theyre laughing at how stupid they are.
so true. feeling so sad for the soldiers all around
My dad told me when I was a kid "Life's a bitch, you'd better get used to it." 😅
Never get enough of George Carlin. He was a philosopher, so his routine still hits the mark. Feels good to laugh loud. 👍
God loves rice a roni the San Francisco treat
😁
I knew her.
02:30 I never thought I'd hear George Carlin sincerely quote the bible
This man has a natural talent of throwing BULLSHIT which is totally NOT bullshit in the most fascinating way that not only makes you laugh but is just spot on!
He was One hell of a smart dude!!
I can't imagine what it would be like, living a life in which all of this wasn't obvious.
Realism & Patriotism I think it's more idiocy which is bliss.
But you'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to be unaware of everything and care about nothing.
teppolundgren Well, at the very least we agree on the latter as for your latest comment.
May you forever burn eternally for speaking such ills.
Clearly idiocy is to be cherished, as we are after all made in the image and likeness of the grand idiot of the heavenly domain.
Realism & Patriotism You make me want to pray that you're joking somwhere in there...
teppolundgren Do you believe in Santa Claus?
Realism & Patriotism
Självklart. Lika mycket som du tror på Hitler.
George wasn't a comedian, he was a philosopher with a dark sense of humour and a razor sharp tongue.
George Carlin is an unspoken genius of our time. Truly wise words.
One of the greatest minds we've been privileged to have a glimpse into
Notice that after George died the world went to complete shit....08 GFC and onwards
national pride and ethnic pride is bullshit. the moment you have a feeling of superiority over any ethnicity or nation is an instant sign of prejudice and it means you have pride towards your nationality or ethnicity. ask yourself why do you have pride towards it? where does this pride come from? and you'll realize its pride based upon nothing. like George said, pride should be reserved for something you've accomplished or obtained on your own through your hard work and effort.
i remember every morning i would raise my right arm up against my chest saying "i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god , indivisible, with liberty and justice for all" staring at the red white and blue flag as it went up the pole. now i realized it was just a routine part of the brainwashing system we live in today. a system that will automatically shut of our brains not to doubt our country, never to question our government, America is always on your side. i guess patriotism is a form of prejudice to a certain extent. but then again just because you love your country doesn't mean you hate others. or do you? hmmmm
+ria10shine Thanks for the really longwinded summary of what Carlin just said in the video.
no problem
+ HerculesLionHeart
It really is stupid, yet the majority of humans have their heads far up their asses that all they see is literally SHIT.
the only way that mankind will unite is when aliens attack.
Did you guys really just repeat what Carlin said like it was an original thought just to toot your own horns on UA-cam?
Kenton Lee no
He always said it like it is. The scary part is only a slight fraction of us agree and fewer to resolve ourselves in action
This guy was like a good bottle of wine. He only got better year after year. All the way until this, his very last HBO special
"Being Irish isn't a skill."
It is when you're not Irish
@@emotown1 pretending to be irish isnt a skill either unless your an actor
@@TiffanyRay Who said anything about pretending? I'm talking about being. Lol , just a silly conversation - don't think too hard about it.
@@emotown1 k whatever and no i wasnt overthinking things maybe your just misinterpreting what i said
@@TiffanyRay Me misinterpreting comments on UA-cam? NEVER! Never in my life! ..... Now I've just realized I'm out of guiness :(, but you have a great day.
I think george carlin was god, he just wanted to fuck with us and tell us that we are dammed. Oh well back to stuffing my face with fast food.
+Robert Baird If you listen to George though, he gives you the keys to freedom. They unlock thought. And a thinking mind can not be shackled.
Makes good sense as a christian. You would't want to let eternal paradise wait any more than you need to. As long as it's no suicide. That's why ignoring health issues is so popular!
Teach your kids to question. George was cruelly honest. He told the truth. You know this because it is absolutely true today and will be so in 50 years, 100 years, 1000 years. Truth!
Very few people the world needed, and George was among the few.
Hahahahaah I never cared about pride not to mention national pride since I am a modest person and hate to brag about stuff. A nationality is just something written on a paper and I just use it to get advantages like being prioritized in a job interview and such. National pride only causes people to get butthurt when they hear people talking bad about their country (America for example). I dont give a fuck about my ethnic and I have never cared for history either. I dont live in the past. Yes, I am happy that they created many awsome things but I wont be jumping in to some readings just because they created miracles.
well said
+Death HIMSELF lol the guys writes a paragraph on something and you sum it up in two words. XD
Adam Lewis I am a simple man.
Death HIMSELF hahahaha
+Shinji D I don't care about my origins either... much... but we still got to respect where we came from, especially parents and by extension grandparents still alive and therefore their cultural matters . Doesn't matter if you live with or away from them. They got you by the balls, they can summon you anytime they wish and if you don't, don't blame life for being a dick to you for rejecting your relatives wishes. Not saying you do it all the time but you do it whenever you got the time.
One of the things I agree with the most with Carlin, I've never really felt pride for anything, I've only ever felt happy or at least content with who I am and what I've done.
You can be proud of things you are done, but things you are by default is what he was talking about.
Pure comedic genius.
Being Irish IS a skill, when it comes to drinking! LOL
he is truly the best
This is really just how I feel about “gay pride”
The brightest mind ever to set foot on a stage. Dearly missed!
Genius, pure genius.
Ol’ George makes perfect sense on this. If you’re ‘proud’ of having accidentally being born in a certain place, you’re delusional. Are you then, by the same token, as willing to profess your shame for the bad aspects of your nation? Unless you actively contribute to that state of affairs, it makes no sense.
It’s not all clear cut, of course. Should Canadians, for instance, be proud of the Rockies? Say what? If so, then maybe they should nationally ashamed of the street drug problem in East Hastings Street, Vancouver. Really? Or should that shame perhaps be reserved for the local city council? Oh wait, doesn’t their revenue come from the taxpayers, who are the citizens? Not so clear who should be feeling pride or shame here.
Or how about this: should millennial Germans be proud of being born German? If so, should they bear its opposite: shame? And for what? Should they, for example, be ashamed of Auschwitz? Why? Did they contribute to that madness? Be horrified and appalled, yes. But to take on some kind of national culpability when you weren’t even born? Makes no sense - exactly the same thing with national pride.
With all due respect to Carlin...
Saying "Black Pride," "Latino Pride" or "Native Pride" isn't about assigning some undeserved value to yourself for something you didn't do, it's about standing up to a system that's all too happy to beat you down for that same accident of birth he's describing.
Saying you have pride in the color of your skin is announcing that in spite of all that, you're still here and still fighting in your own way. When your accomplishments are that liable to be undermined at every turn, I'd say that's definitely something to be proud of.
I guess all the Black Lives Matter propaganda got to you. Like George says, you should be proud of YOUR accomplishments and YOUR achievements.
Your confusion, Rishi, is that nobody is suggesting that white lives don't matter, or straight, or male. Those all go without saying. BLM is not here to demean the importance of white people, they are here to increase the importance of black people. In other words, if people weren't actively fighting for black lives, then chances are that they would go on not mattering in the eyes of the government and institutions. Same goes for gay rights and feminism. It's not irrational or subjective. Straight white men are absolutely prioritised in America. That's not their fault, and they shouldn't feel guilty about it, but they should be aware of it and understand the importance of what BLM etc does. George Carlin would absolutely support these movements - he was always critical of government, after all.
@@s.g.7572 all lives matter is just a comeback used by racist people to counter blm. I use it to identify coveted racists.
@@GHOSTrex1324 All lives matter is a comeback used to counter a black supremacist totalitarian movement.
Nah screw that. Replace “pride” with “dignity”.
"Once again, I say to myself *respectfully* what the fuck"
Self respect mastered
I'm Irish and I'm fucking proud Carling was Irish. He's about the only thing talking sence in public at the moment even though he's gone.
