George Carlin: On Commenting
“‘No comment’ is a comment.”
How angrily seditious is my state of mind these days, that I see this load up and actually hope it’s taking place?
Also, for the history geeks: isn’t it awesome that we have the Phrygian cap on our Army seal? I never knew that (it’s the one over the centermost pike, the hat that resembles David the Gnome’s).
In current-day America, the cap doesn’t mean what it was supposed to mean. But I’ll be interested to see whether it’ll come back into style during the war crimes tribunal fevers of our future.

George Carlin: On War
“Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.”
George Carlin: On Language
“There are 400,000 words in the English language, and there are seven you can’t say on television. What a ratio that is! 399,993 to 7. They must really be baaaad. They must be OUTRAGEOUS to be separated from a group that large. ‘All of you words over here, you seven…baaaad words.’ That’s what they told us, right? … You know the seven, don’t ya? That you can’t say on TV? Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.”
George Carlin: On People
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
George Carlin: On Employment
“The very existence of flame-throwers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, ‘You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.’”
George Carlin: On Bullshit
“When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion.
No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day.
And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ‘til the end of time!
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money.”
