I’m sort of with you. When I was young and rebellious I thought he was funny. But gradually, it wore off on me. Some of his stuff was still funny, but most just crossed the line - even if he comedic enough to make it seem funny. His attacks on religion, God, and people who believe in God were way past humane - and outright evil. He mocked God and those who worshippped God.
Life is more important than a couple of good jokes. In his later years he was just a miserable lout, seeing no beauty at all in any aspect of life. I feel sorry for him as a human being and think his afterlife will be far worse.
On another blog Carlin is quoted as saying that if he saw a crying starving baby and a crying cat he would help the cat. That does not seem like much of a man to me. I thought Carlin was alot more creative than alot of comedians you see nowadays. The last time I remember seeing him was maybe a year or so ago when he was on Jay Leno. If I’m not mistaken I believe Ann Coulter and George Carlin were on the same show. His baseball/football routine was amusing. I agree with some who have said his death is actually kind of a sad thing. He did not believe in God so he really has nothing to look forward too and that’s too bad. Condolences to his friends and family.
