Yes we are...sadly. Kids these days have zero rules, constantly being told that they're nothing but slightly-evolved animals, truth doesn't exist, and God never has. But the same folks who spread all these lies are then stunned, when one of their kids walks into a school like the Terminator and murders anyone in sight. If anything, these constant tragedies are a constant reminder that without God and parents who listen to Him, every child is very likely to become a monster. We are fallible, finite, fouled-up beings who are selfish in our core...and only Jesus can change that. It starts in the home, though...so when parents and elders fail, another child is made into a ticking time-bomb.
@@Moviefan2k4 Is that why Joel Osteen turned his back on his fellow man? God is missing from our country... Jesus needs to be in schools... Christianity is under attack. Give me a break. Plenty of us live our lives by moral compass without the edicts of some book that has been perverted over the centuries supposedly containing the word of some guy who resides in the stratosphere somewhere. It's insanity to believe a human without God is nothing but a heathen or is doomed to become a monster. THAT is one big problem in this country.
"Now I disagree with him politically so he's dumbing down his content or I just don't like him" everyone doesn't have to agree with you, I know it's crazy when the entire world agreed you should be alone.
I remember watching Dennis every Friday night after reading for hours preparing for graduate school. It was a refreshing time to listen to his honest and poignant take on current topics. I agree with this rant; however with other rants, agree or disagree, I respect his forthrightness, honesty, and his willingness to "put himself out there" for critique. We need more honest rants and HUMOR!
Miller has a deep humanity to him, and it feels visceral and real when he shows it. Most who know him see douche, know-it-all, “right-winger,” and his dryness which is mistaken for frivolity, but not enough can make it through to see what a special entertainer he is. I only wish he’d get his real due one of these days. It was either him or Bill Maher and Maher won.
He is very right that parents should be as attentive and caring as possible, but I must point out that when someone turns out badly, it isn't always the parents' fault. Simply put, there are just a million and one variables in a person's life over which the parents only have so much control. The parents can try to steer their kids in the right direction, but when push comes to shove, 99% of life's lessons we as individuals really have to figure out for ourselves.
Yes, yes. The reason we have these mass murders at High Schools and Middle Schools is that parents are not involved in their children's lives. My parents were so involved in my business I couldn't see straight, now most parents wouldn't know their own kids. They check out from their kids and hook into Facebook or social media and don't care to be bothered.
@AllisonTheSNLGuru Wow, me and a friend (both 28) were just talking about this earlier, how we were the only people we knew who watched this show when we were in high school.
@Jaybeefromhiscastle Suicide is immoral and illegal? Well first of all driving someone to commit suicide is immoral which would mean society (which is what drives someone to commit suicide) is immoral. And now for the illegal part...What are you gonna do? throw the dead guy in jail? I think not! xD
YASS, Dennis, never said better and righteously. Being a parent is the only thing HOLY with all its obligations etc. If you drop that responsibility any HELL is just a step less than not enuff pain. Only time I wish there was a god to punish them
What do you do when you find someoen so sexually attractive, but you don't like their personality? I don't really like this guy's personality, but I can't stop feeling attracted to him. I don't even want to be attracted to him! Help me!
The two people who rival the former northern governess aka the Alaskan Abscess for resembling the Slime of the Time are this subject here and the Louisiana Gin Drinker aka Turban Bobbie Punjabi.
@UberREDKitteh Do you trawl Miller's vids for intelligent people to annoy? Yes, OBVIOUSLY society is imperfect, as otherwise it wouldn't need elections or change. Yes, every person who commits suicide is a big red cross in the societal scoresheet. We failed that poor man somehow. It therefore follows that ADVOCATING suicide is wrong. If you don't see that, you need more help than I can give.
@UberREDKitteh Well this is all my own fault for not reading your profile in advance. According to it you're just a 17 yr old kid. That'll teach me to check profiles as well as using my own inline assessment about whether a someone is worth talking to. Ciao, bambino.
ummmm no! Dennis when it comes to social issues is still leans liberal! but he believes that as a nation we must protect ourselves and not worry so much other countries or people opinion...Maher is a liberalterian and just plays up to his base of not thinking lackies who think hes brilliant to just a ideologue! Dennis is way smarter than beagle nosed!
A license sounds like a great idea... but the people giving out the licenses would be idiotic government goons who can't even tie their shoes without debating it for twelve months.
@JinxOz hmm. ok well i choose Not to have sex with him. Acting upon sex urges is not that important, and I should be able to direct my physical energy towards other healthy/ safe outlets such as sports. This way any perverse urges should subside.
One of my all time favorite Miller rants. So truthful and to the point.
I never get tired of Dennis Miller's timeless monologues. Glad he used his genius to entertain me.
Come back Dennis. We need you.
He's got a great podcast called the Dennis Miller Option.
This piece was way ahead of its time. We're there now.

Dennis was like Henry Rollins on these old 90s rants using razor sharp wit and a mix of humor and commentary. Wish he had stayed more like this.
Yeah, now he is just appealing to the lowest common denominator and had to dumb down his act A LOT
Yup
"Now I disagree with him politically so he's dumbing down his content or I just don't like him" everyone doesn't have to agree with you, I know it's crazy when the entire world agreed you should be alone.
"You have got to lean into the strike zone, and take one for the team." So good it almost makes me weep.

I love this guy.. It's a shame I cant find any of his SNl/ weekend updates on here.
Look up “I’m not norm McDonald” channel and u can find em
Dennis for President !!!!!!!
bpd35 A LEGEND!.
This rant was wonderful! I wish I watched his show when it was on the air. I am a big fan of his radio show, though.
So insightful and relevant
Miller: Funny then, funny now.
The Metaphorical Master
I couldn't agree with Miller more.
Miller has a deep humanity to him, and it feels visceral and real when he shows it. Most who know him see douche, know-it-all, “right-winger,” and his dryness which is mistaken for frivolity, but not enough can make it through to see what a special entertainer he is.

Preach it...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great stuff and most important list #1 for a better world

Amen to that!
Wow. Dennis 👍🏿
Unfortunately abusers dont have the foresight--hence the abuse-- they take it out on someone weaker than
"and guess what.. I'm still not that fucked up."
Dennis might be the smartest guy in comedy!...Much smarter than beagle nosed Bill Maher!
Was, now he is a sellout that praises and defends pedophiles now
@Jaybeefromhiscastle it can't really be classified as a fact per se. it is a matter of opinion, but i do agree with yours.
Also, don’t beat your kids; they may end up being a little bitter...
what the hell does rant mean?
"A sense of your past"? That might not necessarily be a good thing.
it's suppose to go with "a nurturing present, and an optimistic future." All 3 as one thought.
@tasteslikeginger Hahaha! I know! It was just a joke from Family Guy.
Back when I liked Dennis Miller. He was funny as shit.
He is a angrier version of George Carlin
@moahoah (face-palm) It was a joke from an episode of Family Guy.... Look through the OTHER comments.

Liked him better back then.
Yeah, I used to think the man was heir apparent to Carlin... then he chose a side and became a sellout hypocrite
@@Rodshark75 "I don't agree with him so he's a sellout" turns out people can have different opinions from you and that's okay. 👌
The two people who rival the former northern governess aka the Alaskan Abscess for resembling the Slime of the Time are this subject here and the Louisiana Gin Drinker aka Turban Bobbie Punjabi.
He's like a funnier, conservative version of Bill Maher.
No, neither one is very funny anymore :(
Bill Maher never was funny...
John and Kate Gosslin should learn from Dennis Miller.
Parenting is definitely not the most important job on the planet. Farmers contribute more than parents
@Jaybeefromhiscastle So because you're older than me you have to be smarter than me and auto-win an argument? Wow...Just. Wow
What the hell does "Rant" mean?

he's at least 24 now
Jerry Sandusky, Dennis is talking to you....
Back when Miller was funny

@17865329 Rather dramatic shift to the right.
After Twelve years do you still think Dennis went to the Right, or did the world take a dramatic shift to the LEFT???
it was a joke-joke
A license sounds like a great idea... but the people giving out the licenses would be idiotic government goons who can't even tie their shoes without debating it for twelve months.
My father was an abusive narcissist, if I had 5he choice ,,i would have taken the choice of being aborted. However it made me excessively nice
@JinxOz hmm. ok well i choose Not to have sex with him. Acting upon sex urges is not that important, and I should be able to direct my physical energy towards other healthy/ safe outlets such as sports. This way any perverse urges should subside.
A champion of life, but not of the unborns’ life?
