I can't believe I used to hate this guy, I guess that was back when I was another mindless tool of the church and my family, just absorbing all the things I heard as truth. But once you actually start thinking for yourself you realize this man is a genius.
People REALLY need to understand that when we vote, we vote for someone else to vote for us. IF our vote is even counted at all. They tell you that in school. IN SCHOOL. GREAT MAN. RIP George.
Not seen this before and I have to say that George Carlin made the politician look very uncomfortable a couple of times - too much truth, maybe?. The material I've seen of GC's stage shows has made me aware of how accurate and astute an observer he was of so many important issues and how carefully he crafted his 'act'. He was able to tell the uncomfortable truth in a way that made people laugh as well as think. It's sad that he is no longer able to open people's eyes with his unique style.
Man I love George for speaking the truth on public television, that is hard to come by in this country. To not be afraid to say shit and be criticized takes a lot of balls. I respect George Carlin deeply, but I won't follow his path and be a spectator, no I will be an activist, I will dig for the freedom that we have lost.
That Man will be missed...one of the last sane people on this planet. and possibly the last great intelect. we miss your words of wisdom george Decompose in peace. :)
In short, you're quite out of chances if you're hit directly by a hurricane like that, rich or poor. There's a nice movie with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, they're both retiring with cancer and decide to see the world. One is a millionaire and another one is a regular guy. Everyone suffers in life one way or the other. As far as Georgie is concerned, he was very disillusioned with people and went toward quite dark humour when got older, yet still he was hilarious. He wasn't just about bashing status quo, listen to take the right lessons :)
@Johniisss People who tell the truth are always those ridiculed the most. They're never seen as right and sane when they first speak out. It is only much later, sometimes even after they die, is when they're vindicated and accepted as the right people that they are.
The most annoying kind of people are the ones who think "you drive a Porsche so you owe me". Your material things don't define your happiness. I've been through some horrible pain in life a few times and my bank account didn't heal me. I'm not going around everywhere complaining every day because a lot of people have it better. Be happy for all the good things.
@sfurner yea its to bad he died really! but we have to continue his work in telling everyone about the real problems. maybe if we all get a little more active in this we can still change the world for the better... i still have some hope left :-)
Why were all of the power tools looted from the hardware store I worked in at the time when the entire area was out of power? Trust me, there were more than just "one case or two cases". It was very wide spread, though of course not everyone was involved (most people were just worried about how they and their families were going to survive).
Are you sure. Because my history books tell me there was never such a thing as a communist country, so there can't be a post-communist country either. A country ruled by communists who want to create a communist country is not the same as having a communist country. That's like me saying I love red fences and I want to create red fences, I then become the owner of a fence, but as long as I'm not painting that fence red or am nowhere near close to finishing, the fence is not red.
Trollish or not, it's just an opinion!! I respect your opinion as well. I just don't understand why someone can't voice an opinion without personally getting attacked. Because in the end my opinions don't affect your life and vice-versa so why get so defensive? I didn't personally attack you. I just made a comment about a dead comedian.
Glad to see the woman didn't say anything. I bet if they were talking about sandwiches she wouldn't stfu. George Carlin equivalent to Gandhi? I think so.
@Johniisss to borrow from Dave Chappelle (who is also a victim of this), "crazy" is a dismissive term. It gets thrown around a lot towards people who attempt to expose the truth and tell it like it is in attempt to strip them of their credibility, and it usually always works.
That being said, the economy of the eastern bloc countries was horrible. And I think the main problem was due to agricultural collectivization. Your countries were nowhere near ready on a technological level to endure the pressure that Stalin was putting on it. Your country was never able to achieve communism and Stalin's dictatorial reign only made the public distrust communism. I give one advice: Don't distrust communism, distrust totalitarianism and dictatorships.
@ward1691 govenment keeps campaigning on how important our childerns education is but at the same time they are cutting funding, so they have more money to give to other countrys against americans wishes' you don't have to believe it but its deeper than you want to believe keep believing the people you vote in is honest and cares, im not against people being rich, but most people work for someone thats rich just look at how your being treated buy the guy your hard work made rich.
I wish Carlin was around to hammer the current administration as well, so that people would see just how much of a libertarian objectivist that he was.
What kind of talker is that? I mean George Carlin says that the country is owned only by rich people. He says it is the opposite, but instead of giving reasons and facts his only return is: " Is this Karl Marx talking to me?" and gesture that shows that he is really uncomfortable with the content of the conversation right now. Next things is that he tries to change the subject(and failed). If you can't talk or state your opinion then what the fuck are you doing on a talkshow?
I feel so elated from his words and so impeccably sad he's gone... Mr Carlin i miss you
I just love how George totally owns this guy on the left. And the guy on the left is in such a state of denial it is so hilarious!
"Fascism is when corporations become the government"
The look on that guys face, he looks so blown away
Show of hands. Who wishes George Carlin had run for President? I do.
Shane Miller He hated politics and politicians.
George will continue to be right 100 years from now. I just hope people will still watch his material. Greatest comedian of all time
we lost him just when we need him the most.... RIP Carlin
He wasn't a Buddhist, but "I have no stake in the outcome" is actually a radical and deeply challenging to hold mindset.
I love "Angry old man" Carlin, he's the best!
I think he's up there now, smiling down on us. And I think he's pleased.
I miss Mr. Carlin so much.
"No one's defending looting." "George is defending looting!" "I have no stake in the outcome." Ahahaha. RIP.
I can't believe I used to hate this guy, I guess that was back when I was another mindless tool of the church and my family, just absorbing all the things I heard as truth. But once you actually start thinking for yourself you realize this man is a genius.
George carlin is so spot on
Yes!!! There will not be another George Carlin anytime soon, if ever.
Carlin could have easily had a career as a college professor. Imagine the lectures he would have given!
People REALLY need to understand that when we vote, we vote for someone else to vote for us. IF our vote is even counted at all. They tell you that in school. IN SCHOOL. GREAT MAN. RIP George.
George has a nice heart.

George Carlin has no problem with theft! How can you not love that shit
George Carlin not giving a fuck and telling it straight up like it is :)
You don't have a choice...
Just gotta admit, Carlin was one of a kind.
I have no stake in the outcome! classic!
That Man will be missed...one of the last sane people on this planet. and possibly the last great intelect. we miss your words of wisdom george Decompose in peace. :)
We'er going to miss george.
I MISS YOU GEORGE!
ooh i love seeing government ppl squirm when they cant get a point across cuz its IRRELEVANT
George is rolling over in his grave right. Looking at up at America right now, he’s definitely not surprised with how it looks
I LOVE YOU MAN!!!!

George tells it like it is.

Now-a-days Carlin is even more right, unfortunately.
@Johniisss Hell yeah! I'm with you there!
@sfurner
yea its to bad he died really!
but we have to continue his work in telling everyone about the real problems. maybe if we all get a little more active in this we can still change the world for the better...

That guy's entire argument consisted of shoulder shrugging
Was this from Bills' second show (called Real Talk if memory serves)?
George had that MF rattled.
😳 😳 Bill Maher was speechless. He knows this guy is a problem
More relevant then ever.
@GGBundy Luckily we're all entitled to an opinion, for better or worse eh?
@spirit172 Best comment I ever read . Bravo my friend !

and and the second option for Americans was Mitt Romney. Not far off lol

@burnendie in NO WAY was I calling God ignorant.

@ClaustrophobicVamp the below comment is for you. I was just to lazy last night to type your long user name. God Bless
i voted for romney

I think George is a little out of hand put mostly correct
tru, but that was the less of two evils. had the other guy won, this video would be censored (brought to you by wallstreet).
Wow.... that politician was a dick -.- ...go George!!
@ward1691 govenment keeps campaigning on how important our childerns education is but at the same time they are cutting funding, so they have more money to give to other countrys against americans wishes' you don't have to believe it but its deeper than you want to believe keep believing the people you vote in is honest and cares, im not against people being rich, but most people work for someone thats rich just look at how your being treated buy the guy your hard work made rich.
how many people listen to what george has to say here and say "fuck yeah!" then go out and vote for obama? enjoy the illusion of choice
You obviously missed his point. Why don't you look up some reading comprehension skills and then read his post again.
I wish Carlin was around to hammer the current administration as well, so that people would see just how much of a libertarian objectivist that he was.

I don't vote.
He is dead so he can't be right or wrong
