It seems as though someone wrote this, and added Carlin's name. If you could provide the source material, that would be great. It has the tone of Charlie Chaplin in "The Great Speech." The first thing that jumped out was the use of God or creator. The man was an athiest. So source, and documentation would be lovely. What I see is an opinion piece with his name on it. Sorry |

Which is why our schools suck so bad today. No more Carlin’s Somebody around on GLP has to have "some" kinda humor around here someplace, before political etc etc etc....(It's an open field) |

He was a genius and taught others through his humor. The quote of his that I seem to have lived my life by is “I don't have pet peeves - I have major psychotic fucking hatreds.” Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country, don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76522402 United States 07/27/2019 04:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sooo soo true. I have this sort of ritual (if you will) Every morning I make my daughter eggs. While I am scrambling them I pray to God. I thank God for everything the day offers and everything that had been offered before. Maybe I should do this while showering too or say brushing my teeth. Maybe we all should do this. If you believe. This also hit home as I have a new neighbor across the street and still haven’t said hello. I will make it a priority |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 72341210 United States 07/27/2019 04:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the early seventies his bawdy commentary was amusing. I got dragged to one of his concerts with my wife and anither couple. This area is very conserative and this was maybe 1997 or so. Well he started the set with a political liberaltirade for 15 minutes solid. The whole audience went dead silent. It was bad. People started walking out. It was a propaganda lecture not a gut busting monologue. |

He was cynical. If you look at his before stuff he was a hippie. NEXT! Last Edited by SoloTrashyCrowd on 07/27/2019 06:00 AM SoloTrashyCrowd |

User ID: 5703021 United States 07/27/2019 06:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NO! Do not put Bill Hicks and George Carlin in the same category. Bill Hicks was awesome but depression/drugs/alcohol got him early. George Carlin is remembered because of three reasons. 1) he was a hippie man comedian from the 1960's. 2) he was on Kevin Smith movies 3) on his death before another heart attack (he had before) wrote some dark shit for stand up. So in the entirety of George Carlin from the 1960's, the only stand up that is remembered is his HBO Special "It's Bad for Ya". I have the Carlin box set and the only one that's funny is the one he made before he died. In no way is Carlin like Bill Hicks. Bill Hicks was a drug addict/alcoholic much like Jim Morrison but died before his prime. His short lived jokes are amazing. SoloTrashyCrowd |

But Carlin wasn't that funny until he did his death show. I don't know maybe playing a GOD in Kevin Smith movie DOGMA gave him a complex to have the final show. The only one I agree with is this skit. Religion is the oldest written history on Earth. Last Edited by SoloTrashyCrowd on 07/27/2019 06:22 AM SoloTrashyCrowd |

The media, political correctness, everyone being so sensitive-what would George say about all that?? RIP to a true comic genius. Quoting: The Wonderer No, he had 3 heart attacks writing his last skit. He was a hippie comedian from the 1960's. Post something funny before his last show. In carrier he wasn't funny. His last skit was about religion and politics, something you talk about when your drunk. Last Edited by SoloTrashyCrowd on 07/27/2019 06:56 AM SoloTrashyCrowd |
