Of all the issues (either underlying or superfluous) that could be raised here and you're only able to comment about the quality of his jokes?

I've always been a Carlin fan. He's pretty much the best living comedian I can think of.

The point that you and all of your nonthinking friends need to get is that he actually uses his mental faculties for something else other than his job.

He employs critical thinking skills and you could obviously learn something from him

and yeah, its funny what the CTers will do. here they're making a brand new thread on what some comedian thinks about 9/11. which is a smoking gun if ever i've seen one!!

how many comedians do you think it would take to build something like the twin towers?

honestly, this thread is shit and should be locked.

Wow, now you're proposing censorship? Never thought I'd hear that from PKC.

So what- every time tom, dick or harry mentions 911 it deserves its own thread? There are already a bazillion 911 threads, why can't it go in one of those?

Because those threads suck, like most massive PDD threads tend to at some point.

Can I close the massive threads then and keep the discussion here? PKC does have a point - there are about 911 threads about 9/11

And merging so many massive threads would probably cause the server to collapse, as a giant black hole located in Toronto would swallow all of us into its deep and dark... erm... holeness
