George got old enough to not care what the owners thought.


Truth can really suck sometimes.

I like that. "It's the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."
Where are all the proud of America Americans with rebuttal?

he completely fails to mention the responsibility of the average person. carlin had a theme for blaming rich people for the country's problems and he had part of the equation correct but he didnt take it far enough.

i guess if he did people would stop going to his shows at some point. who wants to pay someone to tell them they're part of the fucking problem with this country?

He sure puts it bluntly but it makes sense.

The man was THE true voice of our times. I met him once, and was awestruck. NO ONE ever dared tell the truth so bluntly about everything in life. And no one made us laugh uncontrollably while delivering such horrible news.

RIP, George. There will never be another.

i fucking hate politicians nowadays, they don't care about the people they are supposed to be representing (they seem to be representing only themselves) and the president (WE DIDN"T ELECT HIM THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE DID!!!) who only cares about getting his picture taken (photo-op mr president). they don't give a fuck about us. the only reason they feign wanting to help about something is when it directly affects them in some financial way. :eng_mofo and don't get me started on their immigration policy/reform...:willy_nilly:

 

[JanieDough]

True.... Ya know, I was wondering why all of a sudden we're having terror warnings again after such a long, quiet time. Then just now on the news they mentioned a poll where 66% of the responders were Angry at the Government and another 60% thought neither side of the aisle were doing their jobs. Then it made sense. Time to drag out the fear-mongering..... I guess they don't realize it has become completely transparent to most of the nation?
