@Jeffmeister21 i don't knowthat he ever has any help writing his own material. there is another video somewhere here on youtube where he tells a story about how he idolized george carlin, and wondered how he always had new material every year for a new standup special. it turns out george would do the material he had lined up, then threw the material out, so he would have to start fresh all over again. louis said he modeled his standup after that practice, to ensure he was always writing.
I love how he said casually that we should "reintroduce" lions into human society. As if lions were once an integral part of human society, but we just drifted apart at some point.
@ender003 ehhhh.... right, and we spent our entire lives trying to avoid them. Maybe you imagine humans and lions having tea together on the Savannah or something... Call me crazy, but I think there are books out there that might help you understand why humans never tried to integrate lions into their societies ; ) I know a three year old who has a book all about different animals and which ones are safe, maybe I could convince him to loan it out if you're interested.
@instereovideos Mmm, unnecessary condescension. Being a factor in human life can mean a lot of things. I don't know why you're acting like I said we tried to play patty cake with them. Anyway, some cultures considered (and still do) it a rite of passage to kill a lion. Sounds pretty integral to me.
No, I think condescension is the only appropriate response when someone goes out of their way to show you that they didn't understand your comment, but they think they should weigh in on it anyway.
@instereovideos lol, you are so full of yourself. First you make up things I never said, then you try to act like I didn't understand your stupid joke.
Why do you have to discuss about god. Isn't that boring. Why don't you argue about the fact that heisenbergs uncertainty principle is a knockdown argument agains the deterministic point of view. Or how cogito ergo sum might be endangerd by the new studies in the field of neurology.
Sometimes I wish that zombies really did take over the world because I know I would do a lot better than I'm doing now. I would finally feel useful.....
I was a little kid when I saw Jumanji, since then, I have always wanted to see lions and rhinos roaming the streets, I thought it would make life more exciting.
His logic if flawed. If everyone had a cool story about someone getting eaten by a lion, its not cool anymore. Its cool now because it's not as common. That would be like me saying, "I have a really awesome story about the time me and Jeffery Dahmer played Truth or Dare" because everyone has a story like that, right?
Macroevolution and creationism are both hypothesis'. Also you can see creation as a valid option without thinking it happened 6000 years ago. 50% of Americans are not just stupid and not as enlightened. They may have done their research. Now can we go back to just talking about how awesome Louis CK is?
@rmdomeni No, they're absolute morons. Anyone who has actually researched evolution, that is honest with themselves... would have a terribly tough time denying it. Which is why 99.997 percent of biologists do believe evolution to be a "done deal". Creation may be a valid option, but that would depend on what theory of creation you're referring to. It definitely could not be The Bible's version of creation, or any mainstream religion. That's for sure.
@andrewm153351 he specifically changes his act every year and does his best not to repeat material over that span, you will find a ton of standup you've never seen before forever
It is mainly to do with the south where I am from. I live out in the country and its probably 95% creationist around here. If it was not for the internet I would still be one also. When you are raised a certain way and have your eyes closed off from the world people can believe anything. Thankfully though alot of my generation around here is starting to break that mold. I just do not think they are as vocal as I am. Ans yes it has everything to do with religion from my own personal experience.
@Rolin900 Why are you being such an asshole? I left a silly comment (a plea for the slow/weak) on a silly scenario, just shows how STUPID you are that you need to point out the obvious.
this idea of lions in malls. that could possibly make a great story... like dawn of the dead, but with lions. 4 survivors trapped in a mall for a week with lions. i'd read that.
Well it's complicated; the oligarchy perpetuates the myth of free-markets in order to blame the victims, but in reality they practice a Hamiltonian monarchy to keep them powerless.

@CambridgeHeights it's not in keeping with darwinism, for one. Also, it's an inconsistent philosophy that's mostly a justification for malthusian bigotry rather than an attempt to account for the world.
@AQGOAT24 Most Americans are secular and accept Darwinian concepts. Occasionally you have the religious, uneducated insane people who try to argue against it
@AQGOAT24 I think you mean religious zealots the world over. I have plenty of American friends, American family and American co-workers- in fact, I myself am an American. The general perception amongst most people I've met is that evolution is a fact.
Go ahead though, lets hear some more of your enormous generalizations about an entire nation.
@AQGOAT24 I kinda have to disagree. I think people are getting smarter every year so less and less people are join the church and more are leaving because they realize it's crap. I'm a non-christian American and I do believe in evolution. You should hear some of the crazy stuff creationist come up with.
@CrimesonWitcher see thats what you would think....but more and more people in the uk and maybe in america are actually converting to islam or reverting back to chritianity :(
@KJamson13 Obviously, as do most parts of this world (unfortunately)... point is that Atheism has been on the rise for a while now. Just about everywhere.
@Charsept You're an idiot... No, actually calling you an idiot gives "idiots" a bad name. Atheism is by no means a belief system. Atheism is THE LACK OF BELIEF in a supernatural deity.
Oh, and you might want to look up the definition of religion. "The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods." Atheism is not a religion, LMAO. Atheism has no set of beliefs, worships nothing, and lacks a belief in any supernatural deity. Get a clue...
@richig761 after you googled the definition of the word religion, did you bother to read the second definition ? because words have more than one meaning yknow. to You maybe religion is all that shit you said it was but to me religion is a belief system, or sense you love google definitions so much how about "Details of belief as taught or discussed" and in that sense, yes atheism is a religion. and btw, having a slightly different view on what a word means makes me an idiot? get real
@Charsept OMG... this is just hilarious. You may be the dumbest person I've ever seen on the internet. Atheism DOES NOT HAVE A SET OF BELIEFS, you fucking moron. It is the LACK OF BELIEF in a supernatural deity. Atheist's do NOT FOLLOW a certain set of beliefs, or values. Atheist's are not TAUGHT to believe anything. It is just the LACK of belief in a deity. That is it. You ARE an idiot, and a fucking ignoramus. You fail to recognize something that is VERY FUCKING SIMPLE. I hope you're trolling.
@richig761 the lack of a belief in something is still a belief. saying "i dont believe in a deity" is the Same as saying "i believe there isnt a deity"
Anything a person Believes to be True is that persons Belief. atheists BELIEVE there is no god or afterlife. that is their Belief System, their "religion".
Dont be so Narrow Minded to think the word religion only exists in the context of Gods and Afterlifes.
Im starting to think the source of our disagreement is Purely Linguistic !
@Charsept Atheism isn't the lack of a belief. Atheism is simply the rejection of your claim that there is a God. Basically, "you are making a claim and haven't given me sufficient evidence to think that it's real." If there were no people in the world that believed a God exists, I would have no reason to say, "You haven't given me sufficient evidence to think a God exists." People believing in a God created Atheism. Without your stance, my stance wouldn't exist.
@Charsept A religion requires a BELIEF SYSTEM, and a GROUP of people worshiping an idea, or a set of values. I believe in Global Warming... does that make Global Warming a religion? No. I also hold a lack of a belief in ghosts and dragons. Does that mean all of us non-believers in ghosts are a religion? No. You seriously have no idea what a religion is.
@Charsept in what other context does the word 'religion' exist? You're corrupting the word 'Belief' to mean conscious thought.. The disagreement isn't linguistic, but a regressive manipulation of language. Without god(s) or instruction there is no religion. Atheism is not a religion. It is the rejection of religion and the rejection of the claim that something other than a scientific process triggered the direction of this universe.
@Charsept eh... no. Saying "I don't believe in a deity" is not even close to "I believe there isn't a deity." You're confused.
Mental exercise for you: A man in civilian clothes comes up to you on the sidewalk and makes an extraordinary claim: he's a cop, and if you don't give him your car, he's going to lose a murder suspect. He even has a badge. Do you decide he's a cop? Do you decide he's not a cop? Or do you lack belief in both until you have some better evidence of who he is?
@MrYoubrian I'm not sure what you meant... what you wrote is worded poorly. Are you saying that's what you think an atheists take would be, or that it's what you would do? Either way it didn't make much sense, sorry.
@Charsept no because it isn't a set belief, but merely a position towards the ideology of a god...simply having a position on a matter isn't a religion
@KJamson13 I don't see that many Americans converting to Islam but I know for sure that they are growing in Europe but I do think that the religious community is shrinking
@CrimesonWitcher In the UK the Islam presence is definately growing as the population of Muslems is still on the rise, i do agree with you though that the non religious commuinty is definetely increasing and will only continue to do so :)
@KJamson13 Alot of people seem to have grown tired of this religion stuff and alot of people don't really see the proof anymore. I believe in God but I'm neutral. I think I'm agnostic.
@AQGOAT24 Louis CK is an atheist. He has said many times he supports evolution, and has also spoke out against religion many times. I'm not saying you didn't know that... you just sounded unsure of his beliefs. You are right though. Half of americans don't accept evolution. It's sad.
is everyone retarded? he was promoting survival of the fittest for population control. it cud have been anything. we need "x" to wipe out the weakest, plug in any predator for x. hes funny because hes passionate about his opinions and talks about his frustrations with day to day life. i thought it was a great set and its so true u see these dumb bitches with no intelligence getting shit handed to them cuz they are pretty.also hes on network tv - every comedian cleans up their act for talk shows
@skinwalkerxxx What??? That was an awesome clip/concept! Also, you just basically answered your own question. If you don't understand it, your comment is pretty much proof on why we need lions! LOL!
@siegfriedfreud1984 That's rich because someone doesn't like a joke that's automatically because he didn't get it? that joke sucked. fucking lions? Louie's humour is usualy about the day-to-day life, the lion joke is more of an absurd style that other comediens usualy do. and to me he just failed at it, especially at the writing level.
@skinwalkerxxx He has a joke about waiting 2 minutes to see if anybody on earth is still alive and then fucking a chimpanzee. He does absurd jokes quite often. He just used lions as a random predator to put his point across that humans need to have something hunting them to keep them at a decent level. I understand you don't like it, and I understand that this was a weak set by his standards, but he does do absurd comedy on a regular basis. Him having to stay clean probably didn't help.
@skinwalkerxxx You just repeated a part of what I said and acted oblivious to the rest of the point I was trying to make. But thanks for that beautiful insight. I think we're done here.
Does he tell this joke in any of his Dvds? Which one? I don't remember it.

@AQGOAT24 I think you mean religious zealots the world over. I have plenty of American friends, American family and American co-workers- in fact, I myself am an American. The general perception amongst most people I've met is that evolution is a fact.
Go ahead though, lets hear some more of your enormous generalizations about an entire nation.

@AQGOAT24 I kinda have to disagree. I think people are getting smarter every year so less and less people are join the church and more are leaving because they realize it's crap. I'm a non-christian American and I do believe in evolution. You should hear some of the crazy stuff creationist come up with.

@richig761 you said atheism isnt a religion, but isnt religion just another word for belief system,
and ironically believing in nothing is still a belief system. so i think it qualifies

@Charsept You're an idiot... No, actually calling you an idiot gives "idiots" a bad name. Atheism is by no means a belief system. Atheism is THE LACK OF BELIEF in a supernatural deity.
Oh, and you might want to look up the definition of religion. "The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods." Atheism is not a religion, LMAO. Atheism has no set of beliefs, worships nothing, and lacks a belief in any supernatural deity. Get a clue...
richig761 2 weeks ago
@richig761 after you googled the definition of the word religion, did you bother to read the second definition ? because words have more than one meaning yknow. to You maybe religion is all that shit you said it was but to me religion is a belief system, or sense you love google definitions so much how about "Details of belief as taught or discussed" and in that sense, yes atheism is a religion. and btw, having a slightly different view on what a word means makes me an idiot? get real

@Charsept OMG... this is just hilarious. You may be the dumbest person I've ever seen on the internet. Atheism DOES NOT HAVE A SET OF BELIEFS, you fucking moron. It is the LACK OF BELIEF in a supernatural deity. Atheist's do NOT FOLLOW a certain set of beliefs, or values. Atheist's are not TAUGHT to believe anything. It is just the LACK of belief in a deity. That is it. You ARE an idiot, and a fucking ignoramus. You fail to recognize something that is VERY FUCKING SIMPLE. I hope you're trolling.

@richig761 the lack of a belief in something is still a belief. saying "i dont believe in a deity" is the Same as saying "i believe there isnt a deity"
Anything a person Believes to be True is that persons Belief. atheists BELIEVE there is no god or afterlife. that is their Belief System, their "religion".
Dont be so Narrow Minded to think the word religion only exists in the context of Gods and Afterlifes.
Im starting to think the source of our disagreement is Purely Linguistic !
Charsept 2 weeks ago
@Charsept Atheism isn't the lack of a belief. Atheism is simply the rejection of your claim that there is a God. Basically, "you are making a claim and haven't given me sufficient evidence to think that it's real." If there were no people in the world that believed a God exists, I would have no reason to say, "You haven't given me sufficient evidence to think a God exists." People believing in a God created Atheism. Without your stance, my stance wouldn't exist.

@Charsept A religion requires a BELIEF SYSTEM, and a GROUP of people worshiping an idea, or a set of values. I believe in Global Warming... does that make Global Warming a religion? No. I also hold a lack of a belief in ghosts and dragons. Does that mean all of us non-believers in ghosts are a religion? No. You seriously have no idea what a religion is.
richig761 2 weeks ago
@Charsept in what other context does the word 'religion' exist? You're corrupting the word 'Belief' to mean conscious thought.. The disagreement isn't linguistic, but a regressive manipulation of language. Without god(s) or instruction there is no religion. Atheism is not a religion. It is the rejection of religion and the rejection of the claim that something other than a scientific process triggered the direction of this universe.

@Charsept eh... no. Saying "I don't believe in a deity" is not even close to "I believe there isn't a deity." You're confused.
Mental exercise for you: A man in civilian clothes comes up to you on the sidewalk and makes an extraordinary claim: he's a cop, and if you don't give him your car, he's going to lose a murder suspect. He even has a badge. Do you decide he's a cop? Do you decide he's not a cop? Or do you lack belief in both until you have some better evidence of who he is?

@MrYoubrian I'm not sure what you meant... what you wrote is worded poorly. Are you saying that's what you think an atheists take would be, or that it's what you would do? Either way it didn't make much sense, sorry.

@Charsept no because it isn't a set belief, but merely a position towards the ideology of a god...simply having a position on a matter isn't a religion

@AQGOAT24 Louis CK is an atheist. He has said many times he supports evolution, and has also spoke out against religion many times. I'm not saying you didn't know that... you just sounded unsure of his beliefs. You are right though. Half of americans don't accept evolution. It's sad.

is everyone retarded? he was promoting survival of the fittest for population control. it cud have been anything. we need "x" to wipe out the weakest, plug in any predator for x. hes funny because hes passionate about his opinions and talks about his frustrations with day to day life. i thought it was a great set and its so true u see these dumb bitches with no intelligence getting shit handed to them cuz they are pretty.also hes on network tv - every comedian cleans up their act for talk shows

@siegfriedfreud1984 That's rich because someone doesn't like a joke that's automatically because he didn't get it? that joke sucked. fucking lions? Louie's humour is usualy about the day-to-day life, the lion joke is more of an absurd style that other comediens usualy do. and to me he just failed at it, especially at the writing level.
skinwalkerxxx 4 months ago
@skinwalkerxxx He has a joke about waiting 2 minutes to see if anybody on earth is still alive and then fucking a chimpanzee. He does absurd jokes quite often. He just used lions as a random predator to put his point across that humans need to have something hunting them to keep them at a decent level. I understand you don't like it, and I understand that this was a weak set by his standards, but he does do absurd comedy on a regular basis. Him having to stay clean probably didn't help.

@TheRagtagChicken people that are stupid should be eaten by lions. that's it. I think he probably came up with that while reading to his children.
