  • Vonnegut was obsessed with death because he spent his entire life cheating it. Anyone who knows anything about his life knows that he survived the Dresden firestorm in WWII and that his experiences there colored his world view for life. It is evident that a lot of people here just have an axe to grind with his politics and will say anything, even when it is ignorant and heartless, to try to discredit his political perspective.

  • Only a man accepting death wouldn't.

  • @GaryNull so america is the only country who never eally cared on conserving eh ahhh interesting, wrong but interesting

  • @theoriginalmrsm

    i know right.. I also think its funny when people criticize his stance on war

  • he s done more for usa than many.i respect any country which can produce a great humane genius like kurt.V.

    love his tragicomedies too much.

  • "I think the world is ending"

    I think this almost every day.... Slowly, very slowly Kurt....

  • Cold turkey? Sorry, the market doesn't work that way.

  • focus on the good things in life

  • There's no more oil left in the well, there's no more oil to buy and sell . . .

    Ok, GM, create another Hummer.

    I hated that peice of shit when I first saw it, as I do most SUV's.

    I loved when they had to go out of business and not even China would buy the company HAHAHAHAHA.

    America's don't care about conserving anything. But now they are f**ked. They have no choice. Gas is only going up now.

    Shame on all the American car makers for making SUV's and the jerks who bought them.

  • @Moonunit02 You said 'perhaps' which is fair enough. But consider, James Joyce, George Orwell, H G Wells, D H Lawrence, G.B. Shaw, Wilfred Owen and Virginia Woolf.

  • meh, I prefer realism, that's what pushes me forward to figure out one day what the hell a human actually is.....

  • he was the Mark Twain of the last half of the 20th century
