Bill Hicks - Revelations - (Part 5 of 9)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Hicks

William Melvin Hicks was an American stand-up comedian in the 1980s and early 1990s. He challenged mainstream beliefs, aiming to "enlighten people to think for themselves."

Hicks used a ribald approach to express his material, describing himself as "Chomsky with dick jokes." His jokes included general discussions about society, religion, politics, philosophy and personal issues.

Hicks' material was often deliberately controversial and steeped in black comedy. In both his stand-up performances, and during interviews, he often criticized media and popular culture as oppressive tools of the ruling class, meant to "keep people stupid and apathetic."

Bill Hicks dies at the age of 32, George W. Bush is alive and well at the age of 64...God, if your up there....there's been a mix up...

Bill is hilarious, and he speaks the truth. 'But goatboy is one of his worst bits in my opinion.

[TheSnooch123]

@lebiew Same with Terence Mckenna, they are called tiny tratogens that rip away the cell wall and radiate it.

@AQGOAT24 -yeah and the cia hasn't done anything so ridiculous to a u.s citizen before.

@twmmay It is still easy for an older man (eg 25) to take advantage of a 15 year old mentally as they usually have a more domineering presence, and a 15 year old will more likely follow what the older person due to inexperience in life. Although it is a joke so I don't take stand up comedy TOO seriously.

@lebiew Shut the fuck up dumbass. I don't like the CIA but you really sound like an idiot.

dont know why theres so much talk of paedophillia...16 is the age of consent here and even so with 13-15 year old girls its called ephebophillia. paedophillia is like 5-9 year old girls or some shit, theres a BIG difference, and that difference is called puberty

Bill Hicks wasn't even half way through his life.. I'm an atheist but IF there is anything after death, I hope he has his peace.
