Whether you agreed with him or not, whether you loved him or you hated him, you can't help but to respect him. George Carlin was one of the most influential people of all time. Now in case you aren't aware of who he was, Carlin was a highly regarded (well unless you're very religious,) comedian and overall badass.
In my personal opinion, he was a genius. He did not simply accept things as they were. If there was something that was ridiculous, he wouldn't just sit back and accept it, he would call someone a fucker, and point out how we should learn to think for ourselves. What a foreign concept, right? Thinking for ourselves... might be useful someday.
Along with that, Carlin was always pointing out the hypocrisy in people, governments and religion. Of course that type of opinion was trying to be silenced by those people. Those people, who preach tolerance but can't tolerate clashing ideals.
This really isn't meant to be some kind of a biography, it is simply written to remind myself and others (yes I know that no one reads this,) that there are still people who hate stupid bullshit. Someone who hates all the hypocrisy that surrounds us. Now obviously George Carlin isn't around anymore, but his opinions and words are still around to make people think, if even for a brief second.
