Guest mongoloido Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Who knows if it's actually George Carlin's words on the hurricane, but I thought it might be something for the rabid dogs who live in this forum. Comedy usually has enough holes in it for every angle to rip apart... [quote]Subject: George Carlin on New Orleans Been sitting here with my ass in a wad, wanting to speak out about the bullshit going on in New Orleans. For the people of New Orleans... First we would like to say, Sorry for your loss. With that said, Let's go through a few hurricane rules: (Unlike an earthquake, we know it's coming) #1. A mandatory evacuation means just that...Get the hell out. Don't blame the Government after they tell you to go. If they hadn't said anything, I can see the argument. They said get out... if you didn't, it's your fault, not theirs. (We don't want to hear it, even if you don't have a car, you can get out.) #2. If there is an emergency, stock up on water and non-perishables. If you didn't do this, it's not the Government's fault you're starving. #2a. If you run out of food and water, find a store that has some. (Remember, shoes, TV's, DVD's and CD's are not edible. Leave them alone.) #2b. If the local store has been looted of food or water, leave your neighbor' s TV and stereo alone. (See #2a) They worked hard to get their stuff. Just because they were smart enough to leave during a mandatory evacuation, doesn't give you the right to take their stuff...it's theirs, not yours. #3. If someone comes in to help you, don't shoot at them and then complain no one is helping you. I'm not getting shot to help save some dumbass who didn't leave when told to do so. #4. If you are in your house that is completely under water, your belongings are probably too far gone for anyone to want them. If someone does want them, let them have them and hopefully they'll die in the filth. Just leave! (It's New Orleans , find a voodoo warrior and put a curse on them) #5. My tax money should not pay to rebuild a 2 million dollar house, a sports stadium or a floating casino. Also, my tax money shouldn't go to rebuild a city that is under sea level. You wouldn't build your house on quicksand would you? You want to live below sea-level, do your coun try some good and join the Navy. #6. Regardless of what the Poverty Pimps Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton want you to believe, The US Government didn't create the Hurricane as a way to eradicate the black people of New Orleans; (Neither did Russia as a way to destroy America). The US Government didn't cause global warming that caused the hurricane (We've been coming out of an ice age for over a million years). #7. The government isn't responsible for giving you anything. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave, but you gotta work for what you want. McDonalds and Wal-Mart are always hiring, get a damn job and stop spooning off the people who are actually working for a living. President Kennedy said it best..."Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."[/quote] Pardon if this has already been posted elsewhere.

Guest BengalBacker Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 George Carlin would be more likely to write just the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I agree with the wit, but hardly message. While he hardly is a defender of our political superstars, it seems he holds stupid people even closer to the fire. ???

|Lucid| Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Not funny, and Carlin is one of the more Leftist people in America. He definately didn't write this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dan_Bengals_FL- Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Regardless of his political stance, that letter was pretty stupid. I definitely believe Carlin could have written something with a lot more "wit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I've seen other articles by that guy. It's not that George Carlin. There's also convervativish articles going around by someone named Robin Williams. Couldn't be the same outwardly left over-rated comedian, turned over-rated actor.

Guest BengalBacker Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Apparently Carlin performed here in Dayton last night. Here's the DDN review: Quirky Carlin erodes bitterly By Ron Rollins It didn't seem that way initially. For the first few minutes of his Thursday night show at the Schuster Center, it seemed the veteran comedian and writer had cleverly updated himself. At the Carlin paraphernalia table in the lobby where CDs, T-shirts and books were for sale, the best bargain was the poster labeled, "An Incomplete List of Impolite Words: 2,443 Filthy Words and Phrases Compiled by George Carlin." In other words, the man who launched to fame with the Seven Dirty Words You Can't Say on Television had seemed to have hurdled into the anything-goes cable era by keeping up the count. In fact, Carlin's opening routine was a fast-paced, syncopated rundown of labels, brand names, catch phrases and advertising slogans ("I eat fast food in the slow lane," etc., etc.) that he spun into a dead-on parody of modern life. It'll be the opening bit in his 13th HBO special, he said, which airs Nov. 5. I won't be tuning in. The next hour became a dire, sociopathic rant about how horrible and despicable people are  which, while containing certain undeniable elements of truth, quickly became little more than a grim, gruesome rundown of hatred and spite in which Carlin came off just as badly as the rest of the humans he was picking on. While he occasionally hit the mark, prodding Americans for being overweight and willfully ignorant of politics and the way the world runs, Carlin kept squandering points nearly as fast as he made them. By the time he got around to wishing that a natural disaster destroy the United States, noting that "he loves it when nature just shows off and has fun," he had lost a lot of the crowd. Sustained laughter was long gone and the hour was growing late. At the end, the gnarled little troll turned and crawled back into his hole, while his fat, stupid and lazy audience found our way back home  wondering how else we might have spent our $37.50.
