  • One of my favorite George Carlin bits in which he describes the sterilization of the American language. From the 1990 special Doin' it Again.

    My father was deaf. I was told that I should not say he was deaf. I should say he had "hearing loss." Then I was told not to say "hearing loss," but to say "hearing impaired." Just recently, I came across the official City of New York guide to language. According to that guide, I'm now supposed to say my father was - - - deaf.

      You know, I can sometimes see "hearing impaired" vs "deaf", depending on the situation. Just depends on how much hearing loss you have. It's possible for someone to have a significant amount of hearing loss but not be deaf and still be able to hear to some extent. But yeah, "deaf" going to "hearing impaired" doesn't take nuance like that into account.

      Donald Trump would have a contract on him for the humiliation & ostracism George would be causing him. It would be comparable to an infant drowning from being force-fed the contents of a supertanker...
      It takes a fox to outfox a fox; no one puts down a New Yorker like another native New Yorker. And not just any New Yorker. George strikes me as guttural inner-city Bronx. Likewise it's gratifying just to see the cast of SNL cutting Trump down to size (More New Yorkers roasting one of their own) 😂😂😂
      I can't help but realize the relief George W. Bush & Dick Cheney must've experienced when Robin Williams died... In the name of corruption, criminalized but legalized & normalized capitalism- - now the truest of American traditions- - the media has completely sold out to our lovely political system. Now that Ted Koppel, Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, Ed Bradley, Dan Rather, & numerous other unsung heroes are gone, investigative journalism, as the ultimate policeman of the government & the public's last line of defense, no longer exists. So now the entire political community & their true rich & powerful masters have exactly what they wanted all along: to do whatever they want whenever they want, no matter how felonious or murderous, & with no fear of punishment whatsoever. Not from the police, nor from the courts, nor from prison. Not even the certainty of public exposure!
      Now that the Press have abandoned the job, now we don't even have one maverick comedian left to hasten a political attack & open people's eyes to the truth when it is needed the most... And that is the final blow for me. I love my country: the lands, the wilderness, mountain country, & esp our people. But I'm finally leaving, before things really break apart at the seams, 'cause I don't see anyone or anything that's going to protects us- - the common people- - from the heartless tyrannical rich & powerful 1% anymore. There's nothing left in the law to stop them; no one left in law enforcement to stop them; nor are there enough lawyers that will stop them
      As far as I'm concerned, all that's left now is for civil war to take place. So now it's only a matter of time before the war that has been raging all along in the ghettos of East LA, of Chicago, & of New York city is going to engulf our entire nation. A war that's been raging btw impoverished blacks & racist police; a war that's been raging btw the rich & powerful & all of America's poor, regardless of color. The only safe place left for me is the Arctic Circle 😪😪

      Carlin is very hit or miss. He was polished but not. Mainly because he didn't test his material but spent months writing it.
      As for comedy there are many types. parody, satire, truths that sound like lies and lies that sound like the truth. Dark humor, stereotype humor.
      Mainly humor is bringing people along a story and flipping the ending in an unexpected journey. Or you can get comedy that is like andrew dice clay where it is expected and the journey is the joke.
      One thing to look for is if you only hear clapping and little to no laughter from the croud. That is something you hear at a ted talk on roadways. You acknowledge the work was good and you enjoyed yourself but only a few people found the jokes funny.

    One of my regrets is that I was too young to watch this man when he was still alive. I was only 8 when he died. Everyone should watch Carlin’s material. The fact that he said these things 30-40 years ago and they are more true now that ever is a testament to his intellect. He was a smart man who paid attention to the reality of modern society. His message is simple but nobody else communicates their ideas like Carlin. Rest in peace legend.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a TikTok definition of something extremely weighted and devastating. If people with “PTSD” were “shellshocked” by traumatic upbringings or experiences they would have been treated more seriously. - A Person With “PTSD” from a life of abuse, violence, and addiction.

I said what do you mean? he said he died, I said he died while he was asleep oh shyt no, he was like no buddy he wasn't feeling good and vomiting blood everywhere and suffering with a disease so we got him injected I was like then say it like that don't tell me you put him to sleep Lolzz

      In the UK the usual term for pet Euthanasia is to have it "Put Down" - - Very strange if you think about it.
