Forum rules


Rules

1. All normal forum rules apply.

2. NO JOKES! This isn't the topic for funny pictures or wise ass remarks.

3. Serious topics need to be well thought out when written, they also need to have well thought out replies. Please try to write more than a single sentence. Back up your opinion with facts or something else.

4. Keep a cool and calm head, especially about things such as politics, gay rights, religion, etc. People are allowed to have differing opinions than you, please don't view them as personal attacks, please don't start any sort of major drama or get all offended here. In the end, we're all friends still.

5. Use common sense when posting in here, which simply means ask yourself if this is something really worth posting, are you intentionally being mean to someone, if your topic is ridiculously controversial (IE. Baby Eating), are you accidentally bashing Christianity on Easter Day, etc.

6. In your posts, please try to clarify whether you're speaking based on fact or personal experiences as it will lead to less misunderstandings. Please do not state opinions as if they were facts without proof to back it up.

7. NO DRUNK POSTING.

Failure to comply with any of these rules (additional rules may be added in the future as needed) will result in a warning or perhaps a banning from the 'Why So Serious?' sub-forum. The severity of the punishment works in tandem with the severity of your actions.

Did anyone catch the Larry King Live Special last night? They got a lot of comedians in talking about their experiences with George Carlin. Jerry Seinfeld was the first guest and he talked about how it wasn't more than a couple weeks ago that he and Carlin were talking about death. George had said: "With Tim Russert and Bo Diddly gone, I think there have been enough famous people dying for me to relax because it looks like I've been passed over again." Seinfeld said he simply couldn't believe it when he heard he died Sunday.


damn it I missed that, it does indeed sound errie that he would be talking like that just a few short weeks before his death , do you by any chance know if it will be replayed anytime in the near future? I would really like to see it.


:zombie:
Not too sure. I know it replayed around midnight last night. I would just go onto CNN's website and check out their schedule. I wouldn't be surprised if it aired again sometime this week.

George Carlin was one of my favorite comics, I remember him in so many movies [Bill and Ted, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back] and he was always funny. I enjoyed his joke about voting-

"You may have noticed that there's one thing I don't complain about: Politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says, "They suck". But where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. No, they come from American homes, American families, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and they're elected by American voters. This is the best we can do, folks. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out.

....I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way: I don't vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. Now, some people like to twist that around. They say, "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain", but where's the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain.

I, on the other hand, who did not vote -- who did not even leave the house on Election Day -- am in no way responsible for that these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created."

And it was true

George Carlin was a great fantastic comic, and no one could ever replicate his creativity!

If I wasn't allergic to dogs I would have done something similar.

I agree with what Chris Rock said about him... "George Carlin was the voice of like 7 generations and there's not another who went out like him... on top of his game."

He was so damn real... I'm gonna miss him...

mann...I remember the day he died...on top of learning that news, I witnessed another tragedy; a relative breaking their sober streak and making a complete dick out of himself.

that was a very tough day to go through...

anywho...im sure hes down in the ground, with no real expression on his face, technically looking up to us.
