Life Is Worth Losing - Dumb Americans

Ok, I'll be the "devil's advocate" here. :laughing0301:

"After dropping out of high school in 1954, Carlin joined the Air Force to use the GI Bill to cover the costs of the broadcasting school. He was trained as a radar technician and was stationed at Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City, Louisiana.

“So I do have this ambivalence. Obviously I’m against militaries, because of what militaries do. In many ways though, the Air Force was unmilitary-like. They dropped bombs on people, but…they had a golf course.”

Looking back on his service, Carlin was proud to have been generally discharged instead of dishonorably discharged. He was deemed an unproductive Airman and court-martialed three times. As a more constructive outlet for his biting comedy, he worked as a disc jockey for the KJOE radio station while on active duty. Despite his troubles in the service, his work at KJOE helped him jump to other opportunities in the entertainment industry. George Carlin’s military career was one of his remarkable achievements."

He often made me laugh. But he had a personal philosophy that was basically bullshit. And he was a bit of a nihilist. As a person, he was pretty much a pig dog.
