George Carlin May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008

George Carlin was never one to shy away from controversy. As a lover of comedy I have come to feel almost as if I know him, yet I’ve never even been to a show. I will miss him greatly. Sincere condolences to his family.

Here are some videos showing George talking about some of my favorite subjects.

Religion

Abortion

and of course the Seven Words

Well I Never!!

Taking up CC’s Challenge I will refrain from using perfectly good swear words in this post. Reminding myself that there may be people with the brains of six year olds reading my blog.

I’ve always wondered at people who complain about “dirty” words and then go on in perfectly polite language to prove they are beyond dirty inside. George Carlin makes a good point on the ‘softening’ of language in this video

What do you find more offensive, saying people are f***ing starving or that they are food insecure? Personally I find such dehumanizing language far more offensive than an expletive or two. I find the use of tatics such as these far more reprehensible than potty mouth.

    Pretending there is a connection between abortion and breast cancer
    Killing doctors
    lobbying against child care and then expecting single mothers to work
    lobbying against decent welfare payments
    lobbying for personhood for foetuses from conception .
    Cutting funding for advocacy and shelters and other programs that help women and then pretending to care about pregnant women with anti abortion bills like C-484
    Supporting governments who want to take away basic human, justice and privacy rights from all but a few
    Supporting governments who believe rich corporations should pay no taxes and then blame the citizens for having needs such as for health care and social programs

However, to comply with this day I did some research on things I should avoid saying. I put my research here so you too can recognize those words that must not be named.

Celebrate Choice

01/28/2008 by Debra

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the right to reproductive liberty.

Abortion is not about a culture of death, it is not about hating children or being sinners. It is about controlling ones health, ones life, ones future.

There is a mistaken belief that if abortion were completely outlawed no more abortions would ever be preformed. This of course is ridiculous nonsense. Women have always practised birth control and abortion. And would continue to do so. [Read more…] about Celebrate Choice
