The Sad Misguided Life of George Carlin. He was NOT a genius, and NOT a hero.

[Blues Man]

You have to admit that it is boilerplate though ( especially here at this Forum / Board ) so try a different comeback , it will go a long way

Why when that one is short and truthful.

IDGAF if you don't like it

Why is anyone concerned with George Carlin? He's been dead since 2008, almost 14 years!

Self-righteous militant Catholic likes trashing George Carlin.

Would you hire a drunk living over a grate downtown to be your life coach? Absurd notion, isn’t it?

Well, if you read the comments of thousands of his fans on George Carlin’s online videos, people appear willing to do just that. His most popular appearance videos; the one against religion and the one pushing abortion drew heaping praise from hundreds of troubled commenters

Carlin is a big hit with the atheists due to his smug profane stand up routine against religion. They praise his life “wisdom” and “intelligence”. It's reminiscent of the bad kids in elementary school who seemed popular, the ones with the ugly sophistication who knew more about sex than they should have.

His other big routine was the one pushing abortion from his album “Back in Town”. It was pure evil venom. That routine was where the left got most of its now-trite talking points on abortion:

• pro-life women are too ugly to have sex with
• anti-abortion people are not pro-life; they’re pro-birth because they won’t make kids wards of the state.
• Pro-life people kill abortion doctors
• Pro-life people are hate women.

All these talking points came from Carlin in 1996. Prior to that, you never heard them. So much for leftwingers’ originality.

Early in his career, Carlin went for clean comedy. But then he made a pact with Satan, and started on the dark but lucrative road of going after filth and the seamy side of humanity. He made millions from the emotionally troubled people who reveled in his snark against everything decent. Sort of the way Hugh Hefner made millions from leading men to hell through porn. Or the way heavy-metal bands led unstable youth to drug use. Carlin found victims and exploited them for fame and fortune. The easiest money you can make.

The fact is, Carlin’s life was a trainwreck, starting from an early age. He abandoned the Catholic religion he was brought up in, and his life spun out of control. He was a troublemaker in school, having been expelled at age 15, and then court-martialed three times in his time in the Air Force.

He spent most of his adult life addicted to drugs and alcohol. At age 67, a time when most people have things figured out, Carlin had to go to a rehab center for the umpteenth time. His substance abuse exacerbated his health. He’d had three heart attacks before the one that killed him at the age of 71.

Ironically, the atheist left celebrates the worst people, and tries to destroy the great people. Carlin is treated as a folk hero by the left. He wasn't a hero. He was a sad sick misguided man who damaged his own child’s upbringing. He was a leading force in the degradation of society from the 1970s on, pushing indecency and filth. He wasn’t brilliant. He didn’t give sound advice. His schtick just appealed to weak people. Hopefully Carlin repented on his deathbed and saved his soul. Though we cannot really know the state of his mind nor the effects of events on his sanity, one might imagine he had much to answer for upon his death. But let it be a cautionary tale for the living. Care what happens to other people.

Actually, I heard him make those jokes back in the 1970's.

And they are all valid points. Anti-Abortionists aren't "pro-life", they are pro-birth and anti-women.

Nonsense. Half those lives they save are women. Being anti-women would see them wanting to abort female babies. You know, like China.

Fetuses aren't people.

No lives are being saved by the anti-Abortion movement. Their stupid policies probably cause MORE abortions to happen.

Case in point. The Philippines have the kinds of policies you want, but they have 500K to 800K abortions every year. More than the US with only a third of our population.

Meanwhile, France has pretty liberal policies - Abortion is paid for by the government, but so is health care, paid family leave, easy access to contraception, and they have half the abortions per capita that the US has.

They are human lives. You're arguing legalities while I'm arguing biology.

 

[WinterBorn]

So Mashmont, what are your thoughts on Monty Python?

 

[Mashmont]

Don't you admire Donald Trump?

Of course. Trump was a truly great president in ALL areas. Not just a few. Greatest president in the past century.

Silly baseless comment.

Another silly comment. Pro-lifers value all lives. Pro-deathers value no lives.

 

[Mashmont]

How so?

How so? You couldn't refute any one of my points.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

I refuted the entire opinion. I'm not interested in refuting your goofy religion or political talking points one at a time.

 

[WinterBorn]

Carlin was a genius! Funniest comedian of our time.

 

[dblack]

Carlin was a genius! Funniest comedian of our time.

Agreed. And a fearless social critic.

 

[WinterBorn]

Agreed. And a fearless social critic.

I saw Louie CK talking about Carlin's fearlessness. He talked about the bit Carlin did about "You ever notice the women protesting an abortion clinic are women you wouldn't want to fuck anyway?". He said most comedians would do a slow build up to that line, if they used it at all. Carlin opened with that line at Carnegie Hall.

Fearless social critic and one of the most literate comedians to ever take the stage.
