So whats the answer George?
So when are you going to start with critical thinking skills instead of a lemming to the media? You post things like the "corexit" when that story is impossible as implied.
Corexit. What a fucking croc o' shit.Quote:

No, I see so many things I don't like. I don't buy the Carlin comedy stuff as real because I know I have a choice. It's the people like you who claim to be libertarian, but want to authoritatively change what we have. Change needs to come by education. Not force.Quote:

Now that people like you have handed corps and capitalists so much power that it exceeds all control and challege, how do you take their power out of DC and re-enfranchise voters?
Do you think you deserve an honest forthright response when you speak of them that way?Quote:

I go ahead and at times release my daily frustration here. Keeps me a sane and civil person in real life. You however, have nothing but hate, all the time. I wonder at times if I should pity you rather than get upset at you. I wonder just how pitiful your life must be.Quote:

yep, I truly hate the effects of 30+ years of conservatives, Repugs, class warfare, hate media, polarization, divisiveness, rabble rousing, the widespread criminal fraud, the ersatz self-interested reality created by media and corporations, the botched, bogus wars, the 100s of 1000s of dead and maimed in those wars, the $Ts wasted, the $Ts handed to the MIC has had on the USA, on me personally, and on my kids.
You assholes wanted polarization, well, you got one polarized guy here, but you Wizard of Oz fake fuckers wimp out and whine about somebody throwing the shit back in your faces.
You realize George Carlin was a drug-inhibited comedian whose sole purpose was to create wealth through entertainment.Quote:

We never learned from the corruption that has been prevelant in our govt throughout his lifetime and probably forever.
Most important, he never bought the party line, he never bought the company line, he knew that almost everything that is "told" to the masses is spun by someone somewhere. You suckers that buy the conservative commentary from Rupert's minions are just as foolish as those who buy the liberal agenda. Except, your behind-the-scenes "handlers" have much more sinister tendencies to achieve their goals..
If dems would put your wealth at risk, Repugs would put your sons and daughters in foriegn nations with a gun in their hand to bring home the bacon to fatten their stock holdings.
One is voluntary, the other is not?Quote:

George was great, I never tire of re-watching his shows. same with Chris Rock and Lewis Black.
What repugs think is that profits/personal wealth will shield them from destruction of human habitat that follows irresponsible exploitation.Quote:

What then discourages the scorched-earth corporate policies that we already see in place? When BP leaders can leave "little people" of the Gulf coast stranded eyeball-deep in the muck and flee to yacht races and personal retreats?
And you or anything else is going to change the way humanity has always operated?Quote:

And then a city-sized meter strikes the planet and we get to start all over again...Quote:

See if you repugs can figure out what this means:
How bout this one:Quote:
An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

One more:Quote:

Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.

Repugs?
That's a pretty small city, since a meter is only the height to your doorknob from the floor.Quote:
