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

[WinterBorn]

Carlin was an angry lost soul. He was pissed at his father for abandoning him, and because of that hatred, he hated and abused himself and his family all his adult life. The part I have an objection to is he dragged down a lot of other damaged people with him.
I'm here to identify what Carlin was really about. Same thing with Robin Williams.

I find it hilarious that you demean drug addicts who blame others for their addiction, and then want to blame George Carlin for the downfall of others. They are responsible for their own lives. The hypocrisy of who you claim is the villain and who is the victim is pathetic.

Carlin preyed on other weak people. Like buying a drink for an alcoholic. That's despicable.

I'm free, even required to judge vile behavior. We all are and should. That's how you keep society in check.

And yet you praise Trump, who is a vile an individual as they come. i can't get my head around how you reconcile his life and your beliefs.

$2.5 billion self-made isn't genius? In what way is it not?

It's not when doing nothing with the money would have yielded more.

What vile thing did Trump do in recent years after he changed from Democrat?

George Carlin was a master of the English language. He called out the euphemisms and soft language.

Here he talks about it. And makes an excellent point in addition to getting a laugh.

Cheated on his wife. Well, cheated on all 3 of his wives. And paid a porn star to keep quiet about it.

Saying the f word 140 times is not being a 'master of the English language'

Seriously? You are trying to judge a dead comedian for his lifetime of work but not your hero on his lifetime?

Absolute bullshit.

He offered a show. He offered entertainment. And you claim "...he dragged down a lot of other damaged people with him". He didn't. He offered entertainment. Those who enjoyed him had to want to see him. They paid to see him. He didn't buy a drink for an alcoholic. He made people laugh.

He became a republican in 2015. He didn't cheat on any wives since that time. When he was a Democrat, yes. But people change. St. Paul changed to become a great saint.

And his saying the f word over and over is not why I called him a master of the English language.

Offering an alkie a drink is entertainment for them. Giving a porn addict a porn movie is 'entertainment' for them. Doesn't make it less despicable.

LMAO!! Oh, so all the things he did before 2015 are ignored? Not quite how it works.

And you say he didn't cheat after 2015? I am sure that is great consolation to all 3 wives who know they were cheated on.

If you can name one person he personally invited to his shows, you might have a point. Not much of one, but still.

These people came to the shows of their own choice and own free will. Carlin is not responsible. But you trying to blame a comedian for people seeing his show is quite despicable. Not surprising coming from you, since you are very specific with your "blame. But despicable nonetheless.

I'm getting bored now. All you do is circular trolling, old man. Say something new and constructive.

Hey guys. I've won this debate. That's pretty clear by now. Let's me this the last post of the thread. No more after this. Agreed?

Pretty clear you won???? LMAO!!

On the one hand you mock an addict who blames others for his addiction. And in the same thread you blame Carlin for other people's choices.

No, you have not won anything. George Carlin was one of the most successful, pioneering comedians of our time.

Maybe we just let my words be the last post.

Post #151 was made by Surada:

"Carlin was funny... Pointing up the ridiculous. He brought lots of laughs and made people think. What a gift". I agree with that. Post #151 is a perfect place to stop.

You don't know that. You don't know his net worth also. Since past behavior is an omen of future behavior, he has continued that same pattern in all likelihood. I'd almost bet the farm he was a steady customer at Epsteins island.
