@smallpotatoes989 Yes indeed, as you say 'freedom is a burden'. Or as Jefferson put it Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty
Banks, energy companies - regulated by the public sector, you can't get in. Essentially political control limits free markets and choices.
Tv-networks too, almost all networks from railroads, phone wires, pipelines, radiofrequencies all is essentially controlled by the public power. This is why there's so little competition. Thank god for the internet though; it's extremely hard to limit competition here.
Not sure if Carlin agreed with free market ideology completely though.
the reason why george is so funny is because he flat out says whats on his mind. he doesnt try to respect the opposition all that much and hes not afraid to put people in their place. also, he does so in a fucking hilarious manner XD
@cowboyfromkettins The world is always going to fuck. If Bush managed to assassinate Bin Laden, then there would be conspiracy theories about it just as there are conspiracies theories about it now.
@mba2ceo That is an incredibly fatuous remark 'only an idiot thinks he is free'. You might try explaining that to the countless slaves in Islamic Africa. Or the millions of routinely castrated African slaves who were used in HUGE Islamic armies to conquer and obliterate not only African civilisations but those of the Middle East too. Freedom may be banal or even disappointing, but slavery is an abomination.
Carlin may be entertaining but he is ultimately a destructive nihilist who thinks he's cleverer than he is; his entire philosophy and hostility to the US (and just the US) comes from the Frankfurt School. A school of thought that was originally going to be called 'Marxist' but they knew, even then that Marx's ideas had been completely debunked and discredited. Their whole aim was to provide a 'critical theory' of the US with no alternatives whatsoever. Politically motivated and dishonest.
@ritchloui that's funny that you make the assumption that G.C. has an "agenda" to provide a critical theory of the US when in a lot of his acts he preaches questioning authority and think about what people are telling you. G.C is also a comedian, so his main purpose is to make people laugh, and just because he can joke about, and so do most people, the social and cultural of america, it doesn't mean he is part of this big "conspiracy" to destroy american values.
@RudeCo11 I admit GC is funny, perceptive and extremely entertaining. That is what he regarded himself as being. However, his angle is not original but has a particular political pedigree that is ultimately extremely hostile toward the US and seeks its demise. His ideas are recognizable once you have spent any time examining these ideological origins. No alternative is proposed or even hinted at. US self-criticism is one thing, self loathing is quite another.
@ritchloui I don't see why G.C should have to offer any alternatives, he is simply stating a point of view and giving evidence why he perceives america as he does. While I may not agree with all his points, and yes there are no easy answers to the questions he is asking(or statements that he is making if you prefer), he is completely entitled to his opinion. The fact that his shows are sold out and he is such a huge figure is just testament to the fact that many people may agree with him.
@RudeCo11 There is a difference between the US having a healthy self-criticism and a pathological self-loathing. It seems to me that the US 'intelligentsia' have been engaging in an uncritical critical narrative that it has become almost passe to make any attempt to challenge it. These narratives have a pedigree that has no interest whatsoever in improving the US but in seeking its demise. It's cool to hate the US and only twats think otherwise.
@ritchloui I don't see G.C -- I will admit -- extreme view of modern day America as a "pathological self loathing" for two reasons. G.C has the right to free speech just as anyone else and if he chooses to exercise that right, he is able, that is the beautiful thing about democracy. Also, if we look back over history many artist were extremely critical of their governments (Shakespeare, Orwell and Havel just to name a few) but do we view these people as self loathing or as politically active?
@RudeCo11 Who's challenging GC's right to free speech? I think there is a difference between Shakespeare, Orwell et al; they didn't encourage people to hate their countries. Orwell for example lampooned the double think of Marxism (in fact I think double-think might be Orwellian). GC quite happily says Americans are not free blah, blah. I dunno but parts of Sudan, or Iran or Afghanistan are 'not free', you know all the places where FGM, women in sacks and public beheadings are the norm.
@ritchloui Good point. Healthy self criticism is essential for anything to flourish. Find the leaks via criticism, repair them, and avoid the Dam breaking.
@Balshook Perhaps Carlin is just a bit jaded about how mundane freedom is. Perhaps he needed to spend more time looking at what 'not free' means to a great many people under the Islamic jackboot. You know, starving to death, being beaten, mutilated, stoned to death, hanged or beheaded - simply for speaking out of turn. Get a fucking grip.

@tybash I don't think this guy is trying to be rude. He's a nervous and incompetent show host. Because he has nothing remotely intelligent to respond with, all he can do is laugh. kinda sad...
@tybash yup. that's what happens when an interview is led by a spaz. his interview of louis ck was painful to watch, a propos. this guy is as smart as a brick.
if god loves you why would he "ever" send some1 to hell. ask a mother to shove her child into an oven for stealing a dollar out of her purse. its just not fucking logical. simple, FUCK RELIGION, live on with your life
"Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist." // George Carlin. (Every fucker who takes the words of Carlin as a "right" to behave like assholes, well... Are assholes. The man obviously had a real sense of democracy and liberty).
Just wanted to throw this in here. Too often I see people on Carlin vids moan about how they can give crack to babies (Basically). But yeah... I try to even things out (Just like Carlin), but I try to enjoy the freak show.
P.S. DONT think your not The Big Mac Either Folks HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Do SOMETHING before they finish their Burger People U EVER heard someone say this?: YOU HAVE A RIGHT NOT TO PAY TAX AS A HUMAN BEING!!!!!
IF!! we wil all think that being ""Awake"" is enough And all turn upat some stupid location in a peacefull protest like Lambs to the Slaughter or jews to the gas chambers and all DIE! Think People Just because you are smart enough know the fire is hot and you dont jump into it Doesnt mean that Someone Else wont push you into it then cook and eat you!! U want proof? if your Fucking big mack asked you politley to stop eating it would you?? I Wouldnt At the most id tell it to Shut up.
@VincentTruman He gets it he just doesn't want to lose his job haha. Everybody remember what happen to Bill Maher when he spoke out and they are too cowardly to speak their mind. All those hollywood types usually know what has been happening way before most people.
LOL, he is so right, just an anecdote: Dutch ppl had nothing to hide in the 1920-30s, so they exposed their religions and political thoughts and all was recorded on tough paperboard by the governments, not 1 but a several databases were created. Somewhere in the early war years Dutch resistance tried to destroy the database, but there were more than 1. In the end most of them got themselves killed and the holocaust in Holland was close to 98% successful. Hide whatever you can!!!!!!
It's funny cuz it's sorta tru...but it IS funny when he comes from limited choices in the government, banking, news, all the important stuff to "BUT THERE'S 32 FLAVORS OF JELLY BEENS!" I mean, some of it is funny cuz it's tru and no body really has the balls to admit that tru stuff he's talking about but other parts it truly is comedy funny.
@mynameisweird1 Humour was Carlin's instrument to communicate his thoughts. The fact that he makes terrible facts funny jolts the audience and makes the message easier to remember. Then there's people who just remember the funny funny and forget the rest, and there's others who appreciate the comedy and the message and remember both
@papapetad- George Carlin (1937-2008) was a man of integrity and honor, who had the courage to expose the true nature and character of every self-absorbed and selfish people and organizations including obedient supporters from all walks of life! WARNING: Regardless of who you are and what you believe in, try to avoid smearing anyone and the best way to do it is with research. Anyone who accuses you without clarifying their position or being evasive, you can document to respond or ignore!
I think the guy is laughing not because he thinks it is funny, but because he is nervous. If he is laughing because he thinks its funny, he's fucked in the head.
'Capitalism' leads to the concentration of wealth in few hands, depriving majority. Only few control the economy... Ultimately reducing the options.. well its debate able!
@mazharqayyumkhan do you think you would have more freedom if more power was in the hands of the same people that serve the special interests that are screwing us over to begin with? a scenario of a few people controlling an economy relies on the table being tipped towards them by government intervention. big auto, big banks, fast food etc. need the government to do things like bail them out or run around shutting down successful mom and pop stores for tiny violations in order to STAY on top.
@mazharqayyumkhan Communism wants everyone to be equal, but someone (something) has to make sure everything is "fair". That something is going to have power, making the theory of communism irrelevant. I will take capitalism over communism or socialism any day. I read your comment about not being a communist. The real problem is government in general. No matter what kind it is it always spins out of control. Nothing will ever be perfect. People need to learn to accept that. It's part of life
"I will take capitalism over communism or socialism any day"
No doubt by "capitalism" you mean social-democratic-capitalism i.e mix- you're not referring to strict ideologies/adherence to the history of ideologies as we all know too well that capitalism, socialism and communism have a very dark history.
WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GUY? WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BURST OUT IN FAKE LAUGHTER AND HOW DOES HE HAVE THE POWER TO DO SO WHILE LOOKING IN CARLINS EYES? FUUUUUCK THAT NIGER
@liamjd1 It's not funny. If you say that his laughter is infectious then you have a creepy sense of humor and anyone can make you laugh by throwing a half-decent fake laugh at you.
@DGF666KTG Nigger? U sumkindof Ghramar Nazzi? It's the internet, I can say whatever I want. I'm not racist. I don't think that any race is inferior to any other race - we're all equal etc. But I hate when people try to tell other people what to do. You say that I can't use the word NIGGER, right? niggernigger nigger nigger nigger nigger niga niga niga niga nigahiga nigger niguh niguhr nigur Nigeria N̢͓͕̤̖̫̍͑Į͎͑ͯͦ͋ͯ̅G̸̰̙̿ͩ̾ͣÊ͚̲̻ͧ̿̌͋ͪṚ̣̗͔̭̘̈́ͥ̌ͣ. Now please go fuck yourself, u pretentious whore.
@xomiakas : LMAO at you!!! Your buttons can be so easily pressed... lol. Yet here you are trying so hard to push mine. I'm over it. Yeah I'm a grammar nut and so was George. I've learned to let go of caring about how illiterate most people are on the internet, but when someone uses that word it just makes me cringe and think of how ignorant this bigot must be. You have the freedom of using that word and looking like an ass just as I have the right to my pretentious opinion.
@Cruzman3609 oh what G is talking about is just a very global part of whats going on, who where what... lets not get in to us corporacracy/politics/bilderberg,dutch/uk/ger(!) royals,zionism, etc... cheers dude. will look up that from larry king. but be careful, people like l.king are working for bad interests too. in the end, G worked for and within the same framework but only his message was authentic and he was differnet from the rest, even 2day. bet he was under watch for not know ANY more...
@Cruzman3609 HA HA HA HA HA HA .... while it is actually a very sad thing, considering that 95% of all the people in not only the US but EU too are like this, i still have to laugh about it myself. 'why is that nigger laughing so hard' ? if ya watch it again, it makes that guy look so blatantly stupid. and no, im not even a racist. lol
@sebaz1982 shit, now it makes me look like i am laughing about what George Carlin says. no, i mean laughing about what you say. its funny but at the same time so true. its like telling a monkey how you gonna fry his ass and feed it to the hippos and he doesnt even get it. (sorry im high:)
when he says illusion of choice,does that mean both runners for president have the same goals,or they are run by the same people?or are they both controlled by the same people?
@yankeepunk3000 Three, actually. Vanilla, Strawberry, Something green I don't know but it's suppossed to be mint. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, we have like 30 major Football Clubs! Yay!
@hck112 i agree. ive been pretty good in my life so far, but i refuse to go to (if it happens to be real) an eternal party that is missing george carlin. if hes down there ive got my work cut out, but ill see ya there
No doubt you are correct and George would have been the first to agree with you that his views did not in any way make him a genius, or really anything beyond someone who wasn't willing to lie to himself the way so many of us do. However, he was I think incontrovertibly a genius in the way he conveyed his message into legendary stand-up comedy and pop philosophy.
@oTANSTAAFLo In case you haven't noticed, EVERY president was/is/will be a lackey, just like everyone involved in the judicial and legislative branches of the U.S. Government.
@OrochiGeese7 To degrees. Repubs are better lackeys of the corporate elite. Example: Obama wanted strong Wall Street Reform. Repubs blocked every effort til it got a bit watered down. Boehner met with them just before that debate and told ‘em not to worry about it, and not to let “those staffers push you around.” Obama wanted subpoena power for the oil spill commission - righties blocked it. Obama wanted to end the GW tax cuts for the rich - Repubs held unemployment hostage to get their way.
Carlin was so right about "choices" in America. Sure, we have lots of choice when it comes to the beverages we drink, but how much choice do we have when it comes to our health care coverage? The more important something is, the less choice we have.
i prefer to watch and laugh at it all and some people say "you dont vote you have no right to bitch" i disagree if the votees are people you wouldent vote for in the first place, then you have every right to bitch.
The interviewer needs to stop laughing at George just because he is a comedian. Nothing he said was funny, just plain scary. And true. RIP you old fuck
@DreamsCatcher101 Sometimes, the only way to deal with gravely serious issues is to just make fun & laugh. After seeing the news, one may feel helpless, frustrated & horribly sad. Humor sometimes saves our sanity, because sometimes humor is all people have. (I don't encourage laughter at funerals, etc. for obvious reasons.) It sounded like nervous laughter and it probably helped him to deal with the stress of even thinking about the tragedy of serious social problems.
@MrProtuber come on...he wasn't genius...everything he sais is built on pure and uncut common sense...not more, not less...how the things he sais doesn't occur to more people is a complete mystery to me...I'm no Einstein by a long shot, but the things he sais are just so plain and obvious in today's world, the only problem is it's immediately ignored by the mass if someone doesn't say it on stage like he does...which is another sign of ppl's retardation...like he sais it's completely hopeless...
@mongolenpup Really? Complete Mystery? People will always seek the path of least resistance; for Carlin, for example, the path of least resistance was addressing the fallacies and faults within the system/people, because he either thought that he couldn't live with himself if he didn't do it, since he knew what happened if people weren't made aware of these things, or because he found his profession far more fun/engaging than any of his other past times (or any other reason).
So unless you have a penchant for philosophy or skeptcisim, the only way these things can occur to you is if you stumble upon them through shows like Carlin's, or have an unusually intelligent consciousness. You might be more clever than you think, if this is how you define common sense; I think you'll find common sense for most people is to do what makes them comfortable and that which doesn't expand their horizons, because everyone likes to pretend that they know everything worth knowing.
@STorpedo Well...to me common sense is things like...if you're not a strong guy don't piss off strong guys...lol...if...a politician...or any person for that matter gets up on stage and sais that he " cares about this country and it's people " he's full of shit...period...if a man claims to know the absolute truth you should immediately get extremly skeptical. just you know...little things we all kind of know...to me that's just built in natural common sense that people seem to have lost...
@mongolenpup Yes, but that's not what he points out, I think he is a bit more sophisticated than that-he remarks upon people's obession with belongings, and not just any belongings, but upgraded and latest belongings (materialism), what he points out here may be misconstrued as some sort of dead pan joke, or exaggeration, but he addresses what so many people are oblivios to;
@mongolenpup the lackluster set of values Americans have, where 90% of the people spend 90% of the time on pleasing themselves, rather than working on improving the collective, or voting, or seeking out flaws within the system (because the system is only as strong as the weakest link).
@STorpedo Oh no yeah...his points here are more sophisticated...I mean...other things he speaks on...religion, national pride, voting, saving the planet....
Why people don't listen genius like Carlin, the ideas that we have around here are so ancient and sometimes wrong that makes me wonder we need new ideas, we need change, and the best way is to listen what genius have to say. I mean, he could be wrong, but to me his ideas sound more good than those which we are using.
Yes, you have less freedom in this country. No freedom to steal, to burglarize, to assault, to rape, to kill, or to f.. yourself up with drugs to do all this.
No freedom to take a machine gun and mow people down in the name of your ideology.
What an outrage! What an assault on civil liberties! (sarcasm).
Correction: by the end of this I realized that he is not f-ed up. He is a comedian doing his schtick. If you just want to laugh - go ahead. But if you take him seriously, you are on the way to being f-ed up by clowns like him.
@Kurtlane You're obviously a gullible fuck stick who believes everything the media tells you, but Carlin's talking about things such as the Patriot Act and drug prohibition laws, neither of which have anything to do with violence. Anti-terrorism laws allow the government to spy on you and prohibition laws take away your right to your own body.
@BrimstoneLandscapes, "spying on citizens" prevents terrorist attacks. These attacks are damn murderous.
"Prohibiting plants" prevents people becoming addicted to drugs. Drug addicts have a very hard time obstaining from anything, no matter how base, that would get them their high. Even murder.
@Kurtlane Banning guns and abolishing the 2nd amendment can also prevent terrorism. Should we do that too?
Second, if someone wants to fuck themselves up with drugs, then go ahead and let them do it. Besides, while I don't personally do drugs, I have plenty of friends who do and they live non-violent productive lives just like everyone else does. Plus, no matter whether or not drugs are "legal", people still do them. If you haven't realized this by now then you must live in a cave.

Somewhere in the early war years Dutch resistance tried to destroy the database, but there were more than 1.

@mazharqayyumkhan do you think you would have more freedom if more power was in the hands of the same people that serve the special interests that are screwing us over to begin with? a scenario of a few people controlling an economy relies on the table being tipped towards them by government intervention. big auto, big banks, fast food etc. need the government to do things like bail them out or run around shutting down successful mom and pop stores for tiny violations in order to STAY on top.

@mazharqayyumkhan Communism wants everyone to be equal, but someone (something) has to make sure everything is "fair". That something is going to have power, making the theory of communism irrelevant. I will take capitalism over communism or socialism any day. I read your comment about not being a communist. The real problem is government in general. No matter what kind it is it always spins out of control. Nothing will ever be perfect. People need to learn to accept that. It's part of life

No doubt you are correct and George would have been the first to agree with you that his views did not in any way make him a genius, or really anything beyond someone who wasn't willing to lie to himself the way so many of us do. However, he was I think incontrovertibly a genius in the way he conveyed his message into legendary stand-up comedy and pop philosophy.

Obama wanted to end the GW tax cuts for the rich - Repubs held unemployment hostage to get their way.

@DreamsCatcher101 Sometimes, the only way to deal with gravely serious issues is to just make fun & laugh. After seeing the news, one may feel helpless, frustrated & horribly sad. Humor sometimes saves our sanity, because sometimes humor is all people have. (I don't encourage laughter at funerals, etc. for obvious reasons.) It sounded like nervous laughter and it probably helped him to deal with the stress of even thinking about the tragedy of serious social problems.

mongolenpup 1 year ago 2
@mongolenpup Really? Complete Mystery? People will always seek the path of least resistance; for Carlin, for example, the path of least resistance was addressing the fallacies and faults within the system/people, because he either thought that he couldn't live with himself if he didn't do it, since he knew what happened if people weren't made aware of these things, or because he found his profession far more fun/engaging than any of his other past times (or any other reason).

So unless you have a penchant for philosophy or skeptcisim, the only way these things can occur to you is if you stumble upon them through shows like Carlin's, or have an unusually intelligent consciousness. You might be more clever than you think, if this is how you define common sense; I think you'll find common sense for most people is to do what makes them comfortable and that which doesn't expand their horizons, because everyone likes to pretend that they know everything worth knowing.
STorpedo 1 year ago
@STorpedo Well...to me common sense is things like...if you're not a strong guy don't piss off strong guys...lol...if...a politician...or any person for that matter gets up on stage and sais that he " cares about this country and it's people " he's full of shit...period...if a man claims to know the absolute truth you should immediately get extremly skeptical. just you know...little things we all kind of know...to me that's just built in natural common sense that people seem to have lost...

@mongolenpup Yes, but that's not what he points out, I think he is a bit more sophisticated than that-he remarks upon people's obession with belongings, and not just any belongings, but upgraded and latest belongings (materialism), what he points out here may be misconstrued as some sort of dead pan joke, or exaggeration, but he addresses what so many people are oblivios to;

@BrimstoneLandscapes, "spying on citizens" prevents terrorist attacks. These attacks are damn murderous.
"Prohibiting plants" prevents people becoming addicted to drugs. Drug addicts have a very hard time obstaining from anything, no matter how base, that would get them their high. Even murder.
Any child should know this.

@Kurtlane Banning guns and abolishing the 2nd amendment can also prevent terrorism. Should we do that too?
Second, if someone wants to fuck themselves up with drugs, then go ahead and let them do it. Besides, while I don't personally do drugs, I have plenty of friends who do and they live non-violent productive lives just like everyone else does. Plus, no matter whether or not drugs are "legal", people still do them. If you haven't realized this by now then you must live in a cave.
