text: [[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Carlin_7883.jpg]]'''George Carlin''' (May 12, 1937 -- June 22, 2008) was an American comedian who made a permanent name for himself in the annals of comedy, mostly for making funny all the things that usually make people go DudeNotFunnyAfter a failed stint in the U.S. Air Force and a brief time in radio and news he mostly became a lifelong comedian, initially partnering up with writer/comedian Jack Burns. However, after the two broke up in the late 1960s, Carlin entered the 1970s as a new comedian. A DIRTY COMEDIAN. That said, [[WTHCastingAgency he also played "Mr. Conductor"]] on ''Series/ShiningTimeStation'' (a children's show), as well as a stint as the Narrator, so he wasn't completely Child Unfriendly.[[note]][[FridgeBrilliance And besides, a stand-up comedian is just a storyteller who makes you laugh.]][[/note]] He is also well known for playing Rufus in the ''Film/BillAndTed'' movies and Cardinal Glick in ''Film/{{Dogma}}'' (which Creator/KevinSmith put him in and which he agreed to appear in mostly so that they could make fun of "the kind of asshole who'd bless his golf clubs for a better game"). Over the course of his life he acted in some fourteen odd films in total, in addition to numerous television appearances spanning everything from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' to ''Series/WelcomeBackKotter'' and several commercials. He also hosted ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'''s premiere episode on October 11th, 1975 [[note]]and came back nine years later in 1984 on November 10th -- the inversion of October 11th -- to host again[[/note]].His comedy was focused on [[AccentuateTheNegative accentuating the negative]], and poked much fun at the LogicalFallacies aspects of American culture, especially regarding politics and religion. He also made jokes about [[DudeNotFunny subjects usually considered unfunny]], such as torture, rape, genocide, etc. This was actually done on purpose, as he later [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]], to prove that we modern humans weren't much different from our supposedly more barbaric progenitors. That is, he wanted to show that if those things were entertaining then, they would be now - and, judging by the audience's laughter, they were.Despite dropping {{Cluster F Bomb}}s a lot, he was a very erudite man, who would peruse the media and the Internet for ideas for his comedy, even encouraging people to do the same for their own cultural and educational benefit. Combined with his disgust for the over insulation of our society from the harshness of reality and its own paranoias over its most minor social issues, one could possibly take his RefugeInAudacity[=/=]vulgarity laden humor as an attempt to broaden social awareness. He also changed the FCC's rules on obscenity. After the "[[SevenDirtyWords Seven Dirty Words You Can Never Say on Television]]" routine, it's amusing to note that the FCC has more or less modified its policies towards the times when obscenity can be put on the airwaves and what is considered child unsafe around the time of this skit. He is also indirectly responsible for Pay-per-View, which was the logical conclusion on making audiences of obscene content self selective.In his later years, he became more caustic and crude (partially due to relaxed social standards and partially due to age), and he struggled repeatedly with alcohol and vicodin addictions. In 2008, he died of heart failure. He was given several awards both during his life and posthumously for his contributions to comedy. Shortly after his death, in a poll taken from nearly 5000 of his fellow stand-up comedians, he was voted the second funniest stand-up comedian of all time. The comedian who beat him for the title? Creator/RichardPryor.A [[BuffySpeak sort-of]] [[WordOfGod biography]] (obviously written before his death) of Carlin was released on November 10th, 2009, which Carlin wrote with the assistance of Tony Hendra, one of the original writers of the National Lampoon magazine. After Carlin's death, Hendra approached the late comedian's family with his plans for the book. The audio version was narrated by George's brother Patrick, who is an author himself, and sounds so much like George, it's scary.As he was well-known for his great writing, expect to find many quotes taken directly from the man himself ([[BeamMeUpScotty and many that weren't]]).----!!! "An incomplete list of impolite tropes":* AbusiveParents: His father. Though his father left before he could lay any abuse on George, his mother and older brother Patrick got the brunt of it.* AcceptableTargets: [[invoked]] Plenty, but mainly Organised Religion and the American government.** He was famous for considering ''everything'' an AcceptableTarget. In the intro to ''Brain Droppings'', one of his books, he says that he hates every single Group, religion ([[PetTheDog except for the music]]) and ideal in the world; the fact that he tends to have more material on one or another is simply a factor of that one group making itself more of a target.--->'''George Carlin:''' If you live on this planet, you're guilty, period, fuck you, end of report, next case! ... Your ''birth certificate'' is proof of guilt!* AggressiveCategorism: Carlin love to do this in his [[RantComedy rants]]. For comedic effect, of course.* AirQuotes: George Carlin said that this was a PetPeeveTrope of his during a standup routine.* AnAesop: Often a basis for his own sketches; he even namechecks the "sour grapes" tale in an audiobook.* AmericanDream: In his second to last HBO special, he remarked that "it's called the American dream 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it."* ApocalypseHow: Develops from a Class 0 to X-4 in "Coast-to-Coast Emergency", in which Carlin delivers a thought experiment on how he would imagine it taking place.* TheAristocrats: Told a version of the joke [[Film/TheAristocrats in the movie]], going so far as to describe in great detail the fecal matter used in his rendition.* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In a rant about what God has failed to prevent:-->''"War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the '''Ice Capades'''."''** And "tits" on the Seven Dirty Words, at least to him.** In one of his books he mentions a news story of two men who were arrested for forcing a little boy to smoke, drink, and perform oral sex on them.-->''"Can you imagine? '''Smoking!'''"''* ArtisticLicenseStatistics: ** Apparently praying to anyone answered 50% of his prayers. So it is either this trope, or he spent a lot of time praying for things like 'land on tails'.** In one routine, he says something to the order of, "look at how stupid the average person is, and realize that half of them are stupider than that!"* AsTheGoodBookSays: Carlin wasn't above citing the Bible to stress his points, as he did in ''It's Bad For Ya''.-->'''Carlin:''' Be happy, don't be proud, there's too much pride as it is. "Pride goeth before the fall" - never forget Proverbs.* AtLeastIAdmitIt (Said in regards to his tendencies to do things ForTheEvulz)** Also his theory about how Bill Clinton got re-elected: Unlike Dole, he told people how full of bullshit he was, and the people voted for him because-->"''At least he's honest about being completely full of shit!"''* BabyFactory. Carlin finds it offensive. He calls it "pumping out a unit".-->'''George Carlin:''' I also happen to like it when feminists attack these fatass housewives who think there's nothing more to life that sitting home on the telephone, drinking coffee, watching TV and pumping out a baby every nine months. P-poom, p-poom, p-poom, p-poom, p-poom... will seven be enough, Bob? ... p-poom, p-poom. * BadassBeard: One of his books also gave tips on how to maintain one too.-->"Here's my beard, ain't it weird? Don't be skeered, it's just a beard. People were thrown off by that word, '''beard'''. Not American-sounding. '''Beard.''' Lenin had a '''beard'''. Gabby Hayes had ''whiskers''."* BadassGrandpa: Became one. He was a generally kind and considerate man in his personal life, but anyone who got on his bad side learned to regret it.* BaldOfAwesome: Developed this towards the end.** Also went after white guys who shaved their heads. "If you wanna be bald, do what I did: wait a while!"* UsefulNotes/{{Baseball}} and [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball Football]]: This is the subject and title of one of his more famous routines.* BatterUp: He once implicitly threatened to bash his daughter's abusive boyfriend's head in with a bat.** This is also how he claims Creator/JoePesci solved his problem regarding a neighbor's noisy dog, thus doing a better job than God in the problem-solving department.* BeamMeUpScotty: A few "George Carlin Quotes" lists and a "New Rules for Hurricane Katrina" chain e-mail have been making their way around the Internet for some time now. None of them are actually written by George. This got so bad that George had to put up a disclaimer on his website that he wasn't the one who wrote them. Lampshaded in Music/WeirdAlYankovic's "Stop Forwarding that Crap to Me" with the line "And by the way, your quotes from George Carlin aren't really George Carlin."** With the current (as of 2013) popularity of Facebook, many quotes that he might not have said are added to pictures of him and shared throughout the website.* BewareTheQuietOnes: Treated this idea with disdain.-->"I will bet you anything that while you're watching a quiet one, a noisy one will FUCKING KILL YOU! Suppose you're in a bar and one guy's sittin' over on the side, readin' a book, not bothering anybody, another guy's standing up front with a machete, bangin' it on the bar, sayin' 'I'LL KILL THE NEXT MOTHERFUCKER WHO COMES IN HERE!' Who ya gonna watch? You're goddamn right."* BlackComedy: A ''master''. Arguably one of the best examples is his material on suicide in ''Life is Worth Losing'', where he monologues as though he were planning to kill himself and discussed when, where and how to do it--and it was hilarious. The suicide note for example.* BlackComedyRape: He had several hilarious bits related to rape.** It becomes a BrickJoke as a GreenAesop:-->'''George Carlin:''' Man... men...males have pushed the technology that just about has this planet in a stranglehold. Mother Earth, raped again. Guess who. "Hey, she was asking for it."** Another bit: "There's a rape every six minutes in this country. And boy is my dick sore! I'm tellin' ya, every day, house to house. There's no let-up. It's a fuckin' hassle."* BlahBlahBlah: George's shorthand for saying "this person is talking shit".* BerserkButton: Many things, but chief among them were idiocy and ignorance, which would often lead to seemingly UnstoppableRage directed towards the world around him. Some of his most enduring material comes from those moments. He also didn't take heckling well.** "WELL, I GET PISSED, GOD DAMN IT!!!"** One of his routines was devoted entirely to telling a heckler off, in the most jaw droppingly brutal way possible.*** "So fuck you and your sister and your wife, if you got a kid, I hope your fucking kid ''dies in a car fire''! How do you like that, you stupid cocksucker?! Shut the fuck up and get the fuck outta here!" Do ''not'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-f-I-FiaY0 fuck with Carlin]].** When he was fired from Las Vegas after saying "ass" and "shit" in front of a crowd full of golfers, he developed a lifelong hatred for golf. Generally punctuated by "Have you ever watched golf on TV? It's like watching flies fuck." It culminated in the "Golf Courses for the Homeless" routine, wherein he suggests using the land on golf courses for low-cost housing.*** He touched on this in his "Shoot" routine from ''FM & AM''.--->"I got fired from a show in Las Vegas at the Frontier Hotel for saying 'shit'. In a town where the big game is called Craps. ...Never made sense to me."** In fact, it's safe to say his on-stage persona had a HairTriggerTemper.** The self-esteem movement, which he mocked from it's beginning until his death.* BigNameFan: The late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez actually made the aforementioned golf rant part of his national policy. It doesn't get much bigger than that.* BoomerangBigot: Carlin reserved some searing criticism for [[MightyWhitey white people]] and men.* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Followed by ArsonMurderAndJaywalking in "Stuff": "Now you just bring the things you know you're gonna need: Money, keys, comb, wallet, lighter, hanky, pens, cigarettes, contraceptives, Vaseline, whips, chains, whistles, dildos, and a book!"** Well, at least the things you ''hope'' you're gonna need.* BreakupBreakout: Though Jack Burns did have a successful career post-split, Carlin went into legend territory.* BrickJoke: An uncommon but funny occurrence. In an early skit, two sisters were to be reunited on a ''TruthOrConsequences''-type skit, but "you blew the question so we sent your sister back to Maine!" Then later that sister appeared on a ''Series/QueenForADay''-like show and referenced the first skit.** And demonstrating just how truly awesome the man was, he accomplished this posthumously, with a little help from NPR of all places. One of Carlin's routines was about the appropriate time to remove someone's name from your address book after they've died, with it coming out to six months. Six months after he dies, cue a short NPR story on the routine... and a final farewell.** The guy in the Grateful Dead t-shirt and the "Fuck you!" hat from "Airline Announcements."** After his Rape as Comedy skit (seen below), he goes into a rant on feminism, though he agrees with feminism on its basic point on how men have systematically abused women and pretty much everything else: "Mother Earth, raped again. 'Hey, she was askin' for it.'"* BrooklynRage: Grew up in "White Harlem" which was called such because it sounded cooler than Morningside Heights. He also mentioned his "New York credentials" on ''Complaints and Grievances'':--> "I was born on this island, Manhattan Island, therefore I was born in New York City, New York county, and New York state. City, county, and state. And on top of that, [[UpToEleven I was born in New York Hospital]]...but here's the thing most of you don't know. Know where I was conceived? Rockaway Beach."** In "Coast-to-Coast Emergency", the hypothetical catastrophic fire has burnt its way across the continent to New York, and every single New Yorker collectively tells the fire to GO FUCK YOURSELF. [[TakeThat To which the fire responds by consuming all of Long Island and Connecticut, killing all the rich white assholes and burning down all of their evil faggoty golf courses.]]* CallingYourBathroomBreaks: He has a bit about how embarrassing it would be to have your fiance do this at a dinner party, and wonders just what drives people to do it.--> "There seems to be no really genteel way...of announcing publicly...a dump."** On the other hand, he has no problem with putting it on your answering machine message.--> "Never mind that stuff, 'I'm away from my desk'; if you had to take a shit, say so. Just say, 'Hi, this is Mary Louise. I had the Mexican jalape�o bean chili dip and I washed it down with a gallon of gin; I'll be in and out all day.'"* CanadaDoesNotExist: As he says in "Coast-to-Coast Emergency":--> "And while all this is going on, Canada burns to the ground, but nobody notices."* CaptainErsatz: Carlin from the 90's on became the epitome of the "angry comic". In ''TheSimpsons'', when Krusty became one, he adopted the same ponytail and attitude as Carlin.* ChalkOutline: There's one on the cover of his 1977 album ''On the Road.''* CerebusSyndrome: His act from the 1970s and early 1980s was much LighterAndSofter -- less angry, a bit less vulgar, and certainly less political -- than his act from about '87 on.* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Though more present in his earlier stand-ups up to the 80's. It gets overshadowed by his increasingly abrasive persona. Though even then he encourages parents allow kids today to be more like this trope by daydreaming instead of giving an abundance of after-school activities.* ClusterFBomb: He would veer between this and PrecisionFStrike to excellent effect.-->''"Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits."''** His skit on how fuck has changed:--->Fuck you. Fuck you, you Fuck. Fuck you, you Fuck; who the Fuck do you think you're Fucking with? Some kind of Fuckhead? Fuck you. Who the Fuck you think you're Fucking with, me? Don't Fuck with me! I will Fuck you over. You Fuck with me, you will get Fucked, you Fuck! Don't Fuck with me; I'm the Fucker! Don't Fuck with the Fucker!"*** One of this classic bits was exchanging "kill" with "fuck" in "Again".--> "Sheriff, we're gonna fuck ya now! We're gonna fuck ya nice and slow!"** The "Incomplete List[[note]]Incomplete because people always come up after the show saying things like "Hey! You forgot [[Film/OutrageousFortune Needledick, the Bugfucker!]]"[[/note]] of Impolite Words", which adds well over a hundred words and counting to the original list.* ComedicSociopathy: An undisputed master of the genre.* CompensatingForSomething: According to his "We Like War" routine, the whole reason for wars.-->Men are terrified that their pricks are inadequate and so they have to compete with one another to feel better about themselves and since war is the ultimate competition, basically men are killing each other in order to improve their self-esteem. You do not have to be a historian or political scientist to see the "bigger dick foreign policy theory" at work. It sounds like this: What? They have bigger dicks?! BOMB THEM! And off course the bombs and the rockets and the bullets are all shaped like dicks. It is a subconscious need to project the penis into other peoples' affairs. It is called FUCKING WITH PEOPLE!* ConspiracyTheorist: Definitely not one of those out-there people, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO0-u900OG4 but he had very interesting things to say]]. At the very least, he believed the imbalance of power in the United States and the world as a whole as something planned, political participation by citizens as simple appeasement, technological innovation as useless and counterproductive, and insinuated that all of that was somehow consciously done by powerful people for nefarious purposes, namely keeping everyone pacified and stupid in order to exploit them, rather than believing it just developed as a result of global capitalism.* [[CoolOldGuy Cool Old Fuck]]: Almost goes without saying.* CreepyMonotone: Often part of his punchline delivery, especially in the early years. On one of his albums the audience actually ''jumps'' (some of them, anyway) at the way he says the word "beard", and he works it into the routine.-->Lenin had a ''beard''. Gabby Hayes had ''whiskers''.* CrossesTheLineTwice: A staple of his last few shows especially.** He himself all but invoked this trope word for word: "I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn, and cross it deliberately."--->'''George Carlin:''' Want to piss off a feminist? Call her a cum-catcher, that'll get her attention!--->''(Audience groans)''--->'''George Carlin:''' Oh, don't act disgusted! Don't act disgusted! Half of you are gonna go home and go down on each other tonight, remember? If you're willing to swallow cum, let's not make believe that something I said was disgusting! ** During his "Capital Punishment" routine:--->Instead of an axe, you do the beheadings with a ''handsaw''! ''(Audience groans)'' Hey, don't bail out on me now, goddammit! The blood is already on our hands; all we're talking about is a matter of degree!*** Unlike most [[ShockValue shock comedians]], however, George also noted that, once the line was crossed, the comedian had to get the audience to cross as well and be happy that they did.* CulturalCringe: This American man had no love at all for the worst behaviors of Americans. He still said he loved America, and wouldn't have it any other place or time. I suppose he just liked his first-row ticket to a fairly busy act of the human freak show.* ADateWithRosiePalms: Carlin stated in ''It's Bad For Ya'' that despite autoerotic asphyxia making orgasms 500 times more intense, he's not looking to "double his money" because "[[{{Understatement}} it seemed a little risky]]" to him.-->'''Carlin:''' Naw, I just jerk off, wipe off my chest, and go to work. We're simple folk.* DeadpanSnarker: Not always Deadpan, but very much a snarker.* DeepFriedWhatever: He wasn't a fan. From ''Life is Worth Losing'':-->'''Carlin''': Americans love to eat. They are fatally attracted to the slow-death of fast food. Hot dogs, corn dogs, triple bacon cheeseburgers, deep-fried butter dipped in pork fat and cheese-whiz, mayonnaise-soaked barbecue, mozzarella patty melts. Americans will eat anything. Anything. [[RuleOfThree ANYTHING]]. Shit, if you were selling fried raccoons assholes on a stick, Americans would buy them and eat them! Especially if you were to dip them in butter and put a little salsa on them!* DespairEventHorizon: What he claimed was the end result of living in a CrapsackWorld, albeit milked for as much dark humor as possible.* [[DirtyOldMan Dirty Old Fuck]]: Self-admitted.* DrivesLikeCrazy: You realize this whenever you hear one of his routines on cars.* DrugsAreGood: In his autobiography he praises cannabis, LSD, and mescaline for their positive effects on his life. ** DrugsAreBad: But he condemns opiates and cocaine for the damage they did to his health and his wallet. * DudeNotFunny: Invoked. The man made a career of subverting this. For example, proving that rape could be funny by introducing us to the mental image of Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd. Either the sheer absurdity of the idea makes you laugh, or your childhood memories will be shattered.* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Started out as one half of the old comedy duel with a comedian, Jack Burns (though he soon became a solo act). He mostly wore a suit & tie, was clean-shaven, short-haired, well-groomed a lot less dirty. He did have a few classic routines in the early days such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A5fyliZpS4 "The Hippie-Dippie Weatherman"]] & [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyzBO_etwko The Indian Staff Sergent]]. As TheSixties came to a close, he had had it with the clean-cut facade he had to put out and started TheSeventies with the persona we know today.* EroticEating: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Carlin, combined with MaleGaze and AllMenArePerverts.-->'''Carlin:''' As long as I'm being a complete pig up here, let me ask you guys a question. Are you ever able to watch a woman eating a banana and NOT think about a blowjob? I can't do it. And I know why: I'm a sick, evil fuck! I know that! I accept that! But I can't do it! Eating a banana, eating a pickle, licking on an ice cream cone. I'm thinking to myself '''"LOOK AT THE TONGUE ON HER! ''WOW!''"''' So ladies, be careful when you're standing out in front of that H�agen-Dazs. 'Cause God damn it, we're watching. And God damn it, we're ''thinking''! * EruditeStoner: Carlin was very intelligent and said lots of interesting bits of wisdom, but there's no doubt as to what some of his hobbies included.** Blatantly exposed in his ''Last Words' autobiography, where it's pretty much stated that whilst pot potentially helped his career and partially fashioned him into the comic he'd become famous as, there were some terrible downsides.* [[DeepFriedWhatever Everything's Better Deep Fried]]: Well, to the rest of America, according to George.-->"Americans love to eat. They are fatally attracted to the slow-death of fast food. Hot dogs, corn dogs, triple bacon cheeseburgers, deep-fried, butter-dipped in pork fat and cheese-whiz, mayonnaise, soaked barbecue, mozzarella patty melts. Americans will eat anything. Anything. ANYTHING. Shit, if you were selling [[{{Squick}} fried raccoons assholes on a stick]], Americans would buy them and eat them! Especially if you were to dip them in butter and put a little salsa on them!"* FanNickname: "Old Fuck", posthumously, since in ''It's Bad For Ya'', Carlin expressed his desire to be known as that. ("Who's the old fuck?" "That's Georgie, the old fuck.")* FightingIrish: He was of Irish descent and joked that he was an Irish catholic until "He reached the age of reason".-->"I used to be Irish Catholic, now I'm an American. You know, you grow..."* ForTheEvulz: When talking about the Catholic doctrine of sins of intention in one of his stand-ups, notably.-->"You could wake up one morning and say to yourself, 'I think I'm going to go down to 27th street today and commit myself a mortal sin!' Save the bus-fare, man! You did it!"** Also--->"Isn't there a part of you that, deep down, just hopes everything ''gets worse''?"* FridgeLogic: [[invoked]] Or as he calls it in ''Carlin On Campus'' -- "These are the kinds of things I think of when I'm home alone and the television is broken."-->"In restaurants where they serve frog's legs...what do they do with the rest of the frog? Do they just throw it away? You never see frog torsos on the menu, they throw them away! Could you imagine a barrel full of frog bodies?"-->"If you're going to have a rain dance, wouldn't you have to have rain dance practice? And what I'm wondering is, does it rain during practice? Because if it doesn't, how do you know if you have it right? And if it does, why bother with the dance in the first place? Need a little water? Call practice!"-->"We have flamethrowers, and what this indicates to me is that at some point someone said to himself "Gee, I'd sure like to set those people on fire over there, but I'm way too far away to get the job done. If only I had something to ''throw'' flame on them". And it might have ended there but he mentioned it to his friend, his friend who was ''good with tools'', heh, and about a month later he came back, "Hey, quite a concept!" '''FWOOOSH'''."** And don't even get him started on airports.* [[ScrewPolitenessImASenior Fuck Politeness, I'm an Old Fuck!]]: To paraphrase from ''It's Bad For Ya'': advantages of getting old include being able to chalk up any mental slip to old age, ability to get out of social obligations by claiming to be tired, never having to carry one's bags again.* FundamentallyFunnyFruit: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj0PH1zYqTc&t=3m37s One of his routines]] first subverts this trope, then plays it straight. * GallowsHumor: The title of his sortabiography, ''Last Words'', is half this and half {{Tearjerker}}.** His discussion of his health problems, comparing them to those of his friend Creator/RichardPryor.-->''"An update on the comedian health sweepstakes. I currently lead Richard Pryor in heart attacks 2 to 1. But Richard still leads me 1 to nothing in burning yourself up. See, it happened like this: first Richard had a heart attack, then I had a heart attack. Then Richard burned himself up, and I said, 'Fuck that. I'm having another heart attack!"''* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: As Mr. Conductor, even:--> "The farmer was telling Mavis just what she could do with her train."* GirlOnGirlIsHot: From the part about tollbooths in the section "New Jersey and License Plates" in "More Stuff About Cars and Driving" from his 1988 album ''What Am I Doing In New Jersey?'':-->"Tell them, 'I don't have any change, I spent all my money on [[HookersAndBlow pussy and beer.]]' That'll wake 'em up. Especially if you're a woman!"* {{Glurge}}: [[invoked]] Absolutely hated this kind of sentiment and was very pissed in later years when a number of saccharine online essays were being attributed to him, some of which even lamented the decline of prayer in American culture. This makes one wonder if said attributors even knew who Carlin was.* GodIsEvil: A lot of his humor was based around this.* AGoodNameForARockBand: In one of his books he provided a whole list of these, among them "Warts, Waffles, and Walter", and best of all, "The Stillborn".* GrammarNazi: Well, really more of an ''entire language'' Nazi, really. Carlin was an avid scholar of etymology and crafted a lot of his humor in later routines on the misuse and misunderstanding of common slangs and phrases being used, and disgust over words being dumbed down and losing their intensity and meaning under jargon. -->"Place the turkey in a pre-heated oven! It's ridiculous! There are only two states an oven can possibly exist in, heated or un-heated!"-->"Flammable... Inflammable... Non-Inflammable. Shouldn't two words be enough to cover that?"* GreatestHitsAlbum: 1978's ''Indecent Exposure: Some of the Best of George Carlin.''* GroinAttack: He once said that "groin" is the sound people make when they get struck in that area.* [[GrowingTheBeard Growing The Ponytail]]: [[invoked]] Carlin himself considered his two specials, '90's "Doin' It Again" and '92's "Jammin' In New York" to be this, as he felt these were the first special where his material really clicked and he truly connected with the audience. Leading up to this his skits were relying less on character-based comedy and more on jokes about society and the misuse of language. Afterwards his material became much more cynical and dark compared to before.** In the album notes for "Back In Town", the follow up to "Jammin' In New York", Carlin notes that he feels it's his best stuff yet; "I've finally learned how to do this shit right."* HairTriggerTemper: His last few years, where his stage persona became increasingly bitter and even more hilarious. Surprisingly, he was a calm, patient and almost compassionate fellow in RealLife.* HehHehYouSaidX: He gives an example of this with the word "cock" in his stand-up.-->"Remember when we were in the sixth grade and we used to laugh at ''everything''? 'And the cock crowed three times...' 'Hey! It's in the Bible!' Remember the first time you heard of a cockfight? 'No, it's not ''that'', man!'"* HiddenDepths: Despite what people expect of a staunch atheist like Carlin, he knew the Bible backwards and forwards. His final lines in his final show ''It's Bad For Ya'' included Proverbs. He also acknowledged there was a ''chance'' that people might survive death in a non-corporeal form, but he doubted it.* HilariousInHindsight: Invoked. A big part of his material, though not as much in later shows, was to "remind you of things you already know, but forgot to laugh at the first time they happened".-->"Remember the first time you heard about a ''cockfight''? WHAT, ''no''!"* HornyVikings: Carlin stated [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast they were real bad news]].-->'''George Carlin:''' We come from that northern European, basically the northern European genes, the blue eyes. Those blue eyes. Boy everybody in the world learned real quick, didn't they? When those blue eyes sail out of the north, you better nail everything down. Nail it down, strap it down, or they'll grab it. If they can�t take it home, they'll burn it. If they can't burn it, they'll ''fuck'' it.* HurricaneOfPuns: Used sparingly and to great effect, skirting past IncrediblyLamePun territory with ease.* HypocriticalHumor: Often within the same skit, done deliberately to highlight both sides of an argument.-->"In case you people are wondering why it is that I do commercials for 10-10-220 and then come out here and attack advertising... well... [[MoneyDearBoy you're just gonna have to figure that shit out on your own!]]"** He also said the same about being on ''Thomas the Tank Engine'' and ''Shining Time Station'' and then saying that most kids are stupid.-->"And remember, this is Mr. Conductor talking; ''I know what I'm talking about!"''* IncomingHam: ''"So, lemme ask you something! Lemme ask you something! How's everybody doin' tonight, huh?!"'' [audience cheers] ''"Good, well '''fuck you!!!"''''' [audience laughs] ''"Just trying to make you feel at home!"''* IncrediblyLamePun: Sometimes he acts defensive about his own puns, even when they're funny:-->"I've got an idea for the perfect name for a gay bar: 'The Mouthful.' Isn't that great? It's a double pun! Well god damn it, YOU didn't think of it! Even if you're not gay, step inside...have a cocktail! Or a high ball!"* InherentlyFunnyWord: Carlin loved these, like "kumquat" and "dingleberries", the latter of which he claimed sounded "Christmas-y".* TheIrishDiaspora: Averted. Carlin is Irish (formerly Irish Catholic, but he gave up being Catholic at age 3), and revels in it.** [[IrishPriest Irish priest]]s are included when he's talking about his school days, notably on the album ''Class Clown''.* ItCameFromTheFridge: His "meatcake" routine, which got a lot of play on Creator/DrDemento.* ItsASmallNetAfterAll: Subverted. Unlike most people of his age, George was a big advocate of computers as a more efficient way of storing information, including composing his own material on them and using the internet for research. His later television specials even namecheck popular sites.** On the other hand, one of his "short takes" from his book ''Brain Droppings'' says that when people ask him if he has an e-mail address, he tells them email@example.com/upyourass, and this seems never to fail to get the point across to them.* JadeColoredGlasses: While he was always crude and had fun poking at cultural taboos for satire, it was fairly light-hearted at first, then his material became much darker as his career continued.* JerkassFacade & JerkWithAHeartOfGold: See JerkassWoobie (under YMMV) and HappilyMarried. And there was also the time when he met a young fan of ''Shining Time Station'' at an airport, and rather than disillusion him by telling him that Mr. Conductor didn't exist, he patiently explained that he was "on vacation" from the magical island. He also genuinely loved his wife, Brenda, and felt a lot of guilt about how he acted during most of his daughter's childhood. * KillAllHumans: Well, most of them...* KnuckleCracking: Demonstrated in "Class Clown"; he mentions that it was a good way to gross out the girls in his class.* LampshadeHanging[=/=]MediumAwareness: (In a bit composed of fart jokes): I have no ending for this, so I take a small bow."* LargeHam: When confronting some of his soapbox issues especially.-->[about traffic accidents]: Well of course they're hurt - LOOK AT ALL THE BLOOD! You just ran over them with a ton and a half of STEEL!!!-->[about why men go to war - The Bigger Dick Theory]: What? They have bigger dicks? BOMB THEM!!!-->[about God]: He loves you... he loves you and He NEEDS MONEY!!! He ALWAYS NEEDS MONEY!-->[about life support]: I hate that macho bullshit posturing. 'If I'm like a vegetable, pull the plug on me.' '''[[PrecisionFStrike FUCK YOU, LEAVE MY PLUG ALONE!!!]]''' You get an extension cord for MY plug! ...Vegetable shit, I don't care if I look like an artichoke! SAAAAAAVE '''MY''' ass!-->[about people who won't shut up] You're searching through your mind for something diplomatic and tactful and graceful that you can say to help end the conversation, but all I can ever come up with is '''BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS! BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!! BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!!! BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS... BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!!!''' [Note: In the video release, they replaced it with "SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!".]* LighterAndSofter: Contrasting two different things, like in his "Baseball vs. Football" sketch, to make one appear more wholesome.-->Football is played in a stadium, often called a ''colliseum'', on a ''gridiron''. Baseball is played on a diamond, ''in a park''. Let's all go to the park!** There was also his famous role as Rufus in ''Film/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure'' and the sequel, where he was like this, compared to his other work. (He didn't cuss even once.) ** And of course, again, he was ''Mr. Conductor''. Although that was an [[InvokedTrope invocation]]--he wanted to show everyone something unexpected from him. (In his actual life, he seems to have been a kind man, albeit one who didn't much care for bullshit.)** His material in the 70s compared to his material from the 90s and later was much lighter in tone.* ListingTheFormsOfDegenerates: George uses this in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmJ2snsLxWw groups that gotta go]] routine.-->Predators, degenerates, crackheads, and fruitcakes; 900 miles of fence separating them.* LiteCreme: His routine on marketing words has a section devoted to this type of marketing:-->''"'Lemony taste'. What does that mean? Right. It means '''no fucking lemons!'''"''* LogicalFallacies: Based a lot of his humour on this, usually using a PrecisionFStrike or two (rather than his more common {{Cluster F Bomb}}s), as in this gem:-->"Another women's issue I don't get, prostitution, I don't understand why prostitution is illegal. Selling is legal, fucking is legal. ''Why isn't '''selling fucking''' legal?'' Why is it illegal to sell something that's perfectly legal to give away?"* LongList: Several of his routines hinged on delivering Long Lists either as fast as possible or using them to build up to a big joke.* LoopholeAbuse: In "Rules, Rules, Rules," regarding "No singing at the table":-->"You can stand ''right next'' to the table and sing your ass off--just don't sit down! ''*Sings*'' I'm standin' near the table during dinner and I'm singing and it isn't even covered by your ruuuuuuuule."* LopsidedDichotomy: "It's either 8:15 or [[MickeyMouse Mickey]] has a hard-on!"* MathematiciansAnswer: Related to LopsidedDichotomy, Carlin suggests that, if someone asks you "Do you have the time?" you answer "Yes!" and walk away.* MeanCharacterNiceActor: A classic case, as incredibly cynical, bitter and hateful his material got in the later years, he was a very nice and gentle man and led a pretty good life. He even admitted he relished the chance to get up onstage and rip society to shreds as a kind of shared catharsis with his audience, and in his autobiography states if he was anywhere near as bitter and misanthropic as his stage persona, he would have shot himself years ago.* MindScrew: The opening of the appropriately named special ''Playin' With Your Head.'' In the opening skit, which is in black and white, Carlin plays Mike Holder, a man with an unspecified job who is delivered lunch by an unfamiliar delivery man. He ends up fleeing when the man turns out to be working with two other men implied to be former partners with Holder and now chasing him to steal an envelope in his possession. Arriving at the theater they try to talk him into handing the envelope over, but Holder declares they wouldn't know what to do with it, and walks through a door onto the stage ignoring their warnings. Suddenly he's in stage attire and it's in color, and Carlin does his stand-up. When he's done he goes back out, his clothing and the color change back, and he tears the envelope up to the sneers of the three men who leave while the stage staff applaud his performance. You guess is as good as ours as to what the hell was going on in the story of the skit, particularly the envelope since they never reveal what's inside.* MoodWhiplash: Scroll up and read the heckler rant under BerserkButton. He follows it up with:-->"See, you gotta use psychology. You gotta be a bit of a psychologist up here and know how to appeal to a person."* MotorMouth: Especially in the "Modern Man" routine. Even early in his career, when lampooning his previous career as a Top 40 Radio DJ.** A better example would be "You and Me (Things That Come Off of Your Body)" from ''Complaints and Grievances'', especially the cursing that became a running gag.** See also the entries under SignatureStyle.* NWordPrivileges: Deconstructed.** In another routine he says that if he had to pick what term he prefers people to use for whites it would be "blue-eyed devil" because it sounds so romantic and tangy.* NameOne: "Name six ways we're better than chickens!" ({{Beat}}) "See, nobody can do it!"* NotInMyBackYard: Once pointed out how those people who say "Build more prisons" always follow it with "But not here," adding "If someone breaks out of prison, what do you think they are going to do, hang around. That's the whole point of breaking out of prison, to get as far away from it as you can."* OnceAnEpisode: Carlin's signature curtsy, which he did after every routine in his show until his balance wasn't good enough anymore to perform it.* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Fuck]]: He often came across as the only person intelligent enough not just to notice the serious problems with the world, but be able to articulate them in humorous ways.* OurGodsAreGreater: "My god has a bigger dick than your god!"* OverlyLongGag: "Coast-to-Coast Emergency" from ''Life is Worth Losing''.** But [[EarnYourHappyEnding TOTALLY]] worth it.*** Especially for Uncle Dave. All of them.* OxymoronicBeing: Not ''really'', but he popularized a type of humor where two terms are presented as oxymoronic for rhetorical effect (which is not a true oxymoron). Examples he himself used include "military intelligence", "freedom fighters"[[note]]'''Carlin:''' If firefighters fight fires, what do freedom fighters fight?[[/note]], "business ethics". (Carlin didn't actually invent this type of humor - William Frank Buckley, Jr is credited with that - but he likely popularized it). * PapaWolf: As he recounted in ''Last Words'', he learned that a boy was abusing his daughter and had gotten her pregnant. George ordered the boy's father to keep the boy away from his daughter. When the boy showed up again anyway, all George had to do was come out wielding a baseball bat before he got the message.-->[[BadassBoast I don't play baseball.]]* PetTheDog: A recurring motif in his earlier routines was that he loved dogs, and he often made cracks about how much fun they could be, as well as stories about his own dog, Tippy.** He eulogized Tippy in ''Doin' It Again''. At the end of the show, he [[HeartwarmingMoments introduced his new dog]]: "This is Moe! Moe says 'hello'!"* ThePeteBest: He originally partnered with Jack Burns, and though he had a great career of his own, it was never as big as it was with Carlin.** Once boasted that he was actually the ANTI-Pete Best for replacing Ringo Starr on ''Shining Time Station''.* PhallicWeapon: From "Rockets and Penises in the Persian Gulf," from 1992's ''Jammin' in New York'':* PlanetOfHats: One of Carlin's bits. His desire: making a religion that was hats optional, seeing as the rules on the subject made no sense from religion to religion.* PlayingAgainstType: His stand-up is mostly about the CrapsackWorld in which we live. In the ''Film/BillAndTed'' movies, he plays a character from a time in which everything is pretty much perfect.** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGw7LjB23FE an interview]], he cited this as being the exact reason he accepted the role of Mr. Conductor on ''ShiningTimeStation'', a '''''children's program''''' on PBS.* PopCulturedBadass: In a verbal sense. He was VERY in tune with popular culture, and had no problem or fear in calling out all the ills in popular society and the people responsible.* PrecisionFStrike: He had a gift for inserting profanity in some of his skits for maximum impact.* RaisedCatholic: "I used to be Irish Catholic, now I'm American." Most of the jokes in ''Class Clown'' are about his time of being one in a Catholic high school.* RefugeInAudacity: Always.* {{Retirony}}: The last chapter of his autobiography indicated that he had enough notes to write a Broadway play or musical based on his life, entitled "New York Boy". Unfortunately, his autobiography was released posthumously.* RunningGag: Well, not so much 'gag' as he tended toward stock phrases for some of his specials to punctuate his jokes.-->''"...and that seems to hold 'em for about a half an hour."''-->''"...I sense I've gone too far."''-->''"Well, some people need practical advice!"''-->'''''"WELL I GET PISSED GODDAMMIT!"'''''* RussianReversal: Some of the biggest laughs from his 1970s albums came from simply inverting the words in a phrase.** ''(From SevenDirtyWords, talking about words that are only dirty some of the time)'' "Prick. It's okay to say if it happens to your finger. Yes, you can prick your finger, but don't finger your prick."** "People say they tell time. But you don't tell time, time tells you."* SarcasmMode. Always done expertly.* SceneryPorn: George had some impressively elaborate stage sets throughout his standup career, though interestingly he never really used prop comedy.* SchmuckBait: from ''Carlin on Campus''.-->"Please God, let me do a good show tonight. Don't let me be an asshole. [[TemptingFate Don't let anyone yell 'too late']]." [''someone in the audience yells out 'too late'.''] "And ''punish'' those who do."** And right before that:-->"But we do have time for a quick 'Hail Mary.'" [''someone yells "Hail Mary!''] Not quite that quick, sir.* SevenDirtyWords: The [[TropeNamers Trope Namer]], which has aged surprisingly well. Still, [[SocietyMarchesOn since he first did the routine]], one of the seven words, "piss", has become quite acceptable on broadcast television (though it depends on the context; Carlin even said, "It's acceptable to say 'I'm getting pissed ''off'' but not 'I'm getting pissed ''on''"), and others are used rarely. * SevenMinuteLull: He discussed this in a segment about life's little moments. "''Right! I know! I know! Well, what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna have my '''''testicles laminated!'''''''"* SignatureStyle: Like the old adage goes, often imitated but seldom bettered.** Many of his most famous bits involve a Long List that slowly gets faster and faster as he says it--see "Seven Dirty Words" "Baseball vs. Football" and the end of his rant on "stuff" for examples.* SillyWalk: Occasionally to mock the struts of the self-important, but ''Carlin on Campus'' had several choice absurdities that stood up all on their own.-->Sometimes, I go like '''this'''. (strikes an awkward pose) And then I wonder why.* SirSwearsALot: Made cussing on stage popular.* SmiteMeOMightySmiter: As a part of his routine, he challenged God to strike the audience, then him to death to prove that He exists.* SocietyMarchesOn: Carlin's first two HBO specials had an HBO representative warning viewers that Carlin was going to use ''naughty language''. This, despite HBO being a premium cable service.** In 1990's ''Doin' It Again,'' George is greeted by dog pound calls, which was popularized by the brief late night show hosted by Arsenio Hall.* SophisticatedAsHell* TheStoner: The Hippy Dippy Weatherman.* SubliminalSeduction: Parodied, of course, in the liner notes for his 1990 album ''Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics'':-->"This recording contains no [=backmasking=] or subliminal suggestions. All messages from the Devil are recorded clearly and audibly in standard American English."* TestosteronePoisoning: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19cL0RuJx4E&feature=related Had a low, low opinion of it]].* ThatCameOutWrong: But he was always witty enough to run with it, improvise a joke out of his mistakes. Quite possibly the best example, from ''It's Bad For Ya'', when talking about the perks of getting old:-->You can even shit your pants! Haven't tried it yet...but I don't rule it out! I'm keeping my options open. Everything is on the table! [{{beat}}] ... Perhaps that's not the figure of speech I wanted...** On violent human behavior:--->[[ImAHumanitarian Jeffrey Dahmer]] never thought of this shit, did he? Jeffrey Dahmer, eat your heart out! ... which is an interesting thought in and of itself...** From ''Playing with Your Head'':--->So I took the earring out and my hole grew over. ({{Beat}}) My earring hole. Hey. Hey! My asshole didn't grow over. What are you, crazy? Get out of here! No, your asshole grows over, you may as well check straight into a cemetery. 'Cause you're going to spend a lot of time walking around the beach wondering why you're getting larger all of a sudden.** DropTheCow: In ''Complaints and Grievances'', he decided to change the subject when he sensed one of his routines was going south fast. He realised that having many sketches ready to go to avoid {{corpsing}} onstage is an important part of being a comedian.--->"I... sense I've gone too far. So I'll quit while I'm ahead..."* TerrifiedOfGerms: Carlin deliberately tries to defy this trope, as seen in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X29lF43mUlo You Are All Diseased]]''.* ToiletHumor: Not above it. In one show, he said he gave his dog some Cracker Jacks. Later, when he took him outside, "Tippy took a Cracker Jack." (He was anxious to see what the prize was, hoping it wasn't something like a blow whistle.)* {{Troll}}: "Keeping People Alert," from 1988's ''What Am I Doing in New Jersey?'', is a collection of absurd suggestions of ways to keep people on their toes. "Or just walk up to somebody in the street and say, 'Pardon me, I have nothing to say!'" is just ''[[UpToEleven the beginning.]]''* VerbalTic: He had a tendency to say things twice for emphasis. * ViewersAreMorons: Most of his comedy was very erudite, but he did like pointing out ignorance sometimes even within his own audience.* VulgarHumor: He once {{Deconstructed}} the anatomy of his jokes and said that one or both of these tropes were parts of the necessary exaggeration that made the jokes funny rather than just shocking. Knowing just how far to push was his specialty.* WhamLine: In ''Doin' It Again'', he has a minute and a half rant that demonstrates how "soft" language has gotten, in which he explains a combat condition that was called "Shell Shock" has been renamed "Battle Fatigue", then "Operational Exhaustion", and finally "Post-traumatic Stress Disorder". An audible murmur ripples through the crowd at that point when they suddenly realize what he's been talking about. (See GrammarNazi above.)** When Carlin remarks that the returning Vietnam War veterans might have gotten the attention they needed if they were still calling it "Shell Shock" the audience erupts with applause.* WorthyOpponent: In ''Last Words'', he mentions that his first solo album was nominated for a Grammy, but lost to BillCosby, who he considered a worthy opponent.* YouBastard: Was not afraid to slam on various groups and interests he hated, and would actually tell his audience the comedic equivalent to this if they actually were this. Most of the audience lapped it up, even if THEY were the target.----

1998 Ford F-150 • 52,000 miles
98' f150 4.2V6 5 speed. Around town, everything is fine. When I drive 60+ miles, and truck gets good and hot, the clutch starts sticking. The pedal gets harder to push when hot and it disengages just fine, but when I put it in gear and let the clutch out it won't engage (like it should), and then all of a sudden it pops itself like I'm dumping the clutch. No fluid leaks inside or out. And it works fine after it cools back down. HELP!

Check for anything blocking the air circulation. Check the clutch line to make sure it is not too close to the exhaust.
Sep 25, 2012.
Sep 25, 2012.
After some research and talking to another forum I decided to change the fluid. The clutch pedal is definitely easier to push, but I won't know if it solved the problem until I drive further and get it good and hot. We think the old fluid was contaminated and reached a boiling point. I will post back when I've driven it further.

Domain Therapeutics granted Prexton Therapeutics, a spin-off company of Merck Serono, an exclusive option to license and develop metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGluR4) Positive Allosteric Modulator (PAM) drugs targeting Parkinson's disease. Under the agreement, Prexton will progress the mGluR4 PAM drug candidates into clinical development.
The chemical series was previously developed through a licensing and collaboration agreement signed between Domain and Merck Serono in January 2011 to focus on research efforts on certain diseases such as multiple sclerosis, cancer, and immune-mediated diseases.
Under the agreement with Merck, Domain contributed optimized compounds developed from its chemical series and received €2 million in up-front payment and research funding, and was eligible for up to €132 million in milestones for the first two products.
mGluR4 is a glutamate receptor, member of the GPCR family. Allosteric modulation of mGluR4 receptors is thought to exert regulatory activity on glutamate-mediated neurotransmission.

And then updating the board software in the future is rife with problems as well...
Probably not worth the effort. Cool idea... just not practical.

hi there friends. i am an ex athiest and im a putting togethter a book/blog for christians about understanding and then saving athiests. I PROMISE, I AM NOT TRYING TO SAVE YOU! but i would greatly appreciate your input.
like i said i used to be an athiest. actually i was more of an anti-christian. i was very thorough wile compiling my arsenal of anti-christian material, and was very articulate when fighting christians. i had a long list of great arguments against christianity, but i could use more.
lets face it. alot of christians are annoying, i agree, but the big idea here is that most christians have absolutely no concept of life without god. so they dont understand athiesim at all. one of the purposes of my book is to illustrate that athiests are not all terrible satanists. that alot of them are actually really good hearted people.
if you are willing to help me out i would appreciate it. if not, feel free to tell me to go to hell lol... please respond to the following 2 statements/questions
what is your best argument against jesus. not god, but jesus specifically????
what is the most annoying thing about christians? or what do you dislike about christians????
Views: 1457
My first post gave my answers to the OP's initial questions. I want to take a minute now to comment on other impressions I'm getting from this thread.
Regarding the book
The OP claims to be writing "a book/blog for Christians about understanding and then saving atheists", and that "it is a book for Christians. and many of them are curious about my transformation". Then we have the caveat that "there are a few very close people in my life that, yes, i have an interest in saving. the rest of the world? to each his own i say." The lack of consistency tells me that the OP really has no clearly defined idea of what this book is supposed to be, if there is a book idea at all.
Regarding the OP's atheism
The OP makes repeated statements that he was an atheist (for 30 years, with a caveat that he was more of an anti-Christian), and that he had an impressive list of counter-arguments against Christianity that he could articulate well. At the same time, he is using terms like "devout atheist", and says that he has "felt more judgment from atheists in 2 years of being a Christian than from Christians out of 30 years of atheism."
The claim that he was debating Christians with a strong list of counter-arguments would indicate a well researched, active atheism. Yet, we see things like "devout atheist", "atheists are not all terrible Satanists", "i spent my whole life surrounding myself with like minded people", and an explanation of how he used to make his arguments that would indicate a novice level understanding of atheism from the perspective of a theist. I claim that this inconsistency is an indicator that the OP's claims are at least exaggerated, or at most fabricated.
Regarding the OP's new found Christianity
I started to realize that the only reason I hated Christianity was because I didn't fully understand it.
the only reason I hated Christians was because I had felt judgment from people who claimed to be Christian.
I started learning more and witnessing a few miracles of my own
I realized then that I was only studying words and wasn't too concerned what it all meant in context
This is standard theistic trope. As I stated above, any atheist who has done any homework would know these statements for what they are; erroneous perceptions of atheism from a theist's perspective. I see these as additional indicators that the OP's claims are either exaggerated or fabricated.
I want to specifically address two more things. I'll start with this:
I realized then that I was only studying words and wasn't too concerned what it all meant in context
The words provide the context. The specific statements of a work act as bricks that make up the wall that is the overall picture. Once you start claiming that words and phrases don't mean what they say, you abdicate any ability to argue the meaning of those words and phrases, because you've just left them open to any interpretation that anybody chooses to give them.
…and I'll end with this:
i no longer feel the need to prove or justify or defend my beliefs.
1 Peter 3:15 "be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you"
I doubt that you were the atheist that you claim to be, I am sure that you were no skeptic, and I get the impression that you should probably work to shore up your Christianity if that is the route you want to go.
what is your best argument against jesus. not god, but jesus specifically????
This question makes me think you've been swayed by the C.S. Lewis "lord, liar, or lunatic" argument, which asserts that, given Jesus' claims, there are three possibilities: he was actually the son of God, he was lying about it, or he was insane. They then cite some scripture and make various arguments that eliminate liar and lunatic, so that he could only be (viola!) the one true Lord. I've heard many Christian media personalities claim that the most important question anyone can ask oneself is "who do I think Jesus was?", which is often a precursor to the LLL argument. My answer is that this is a false trichotomy (like a false dichotomy, but there are three options presented instead of two). There is, at least, a fourth L to be considered: legend. The Jesus story is a legend, much like King Arthur or Odysseus. It's not about assessing Jesus's personality, it's about whether we can believe the things we are told about him. Imagine applying the LLL argument to King Arthur—it would be a ridiculous thing to do because we don't assume the King Arthur legend is a factual historical account, even though it was likely based on real persons and events.
what is the most annoying thing about christians? or what do you dislike about christians????
I don't dislike the Christians I know and love in my everyday life, obviously. I do dislike that there are some opinions they hold that seem like they are the result of Christianity corrupting their thinking. I have a female co-worker, probably the nicest, happiest person I know, who occasionally says the most shockingly misogynisic things, like about how women are not as smart as men, or shouldn't be engaging in certain masculine activities, or how her husband makes the decisions about their money and lifestyle as the head of the household. She has also told me that they do not even have retirement accounts because they give most of their income to their church! It's disgusting, and so sad (they are nearly 40 and have three kids)! It almost goes without saying that she is homophobic (in the love-the-sinner-hate-the-sin kind of way).
One of my best friends, who knows I'm an atheist, has suggested I pray for help with a medical issue. My mother tries to give me books to read that look like interesting nonfiction, but are actually elaborate testimonials written by Christain authors. This is the kind of stuff I am annoyed by, but mostly am disappointed by. I love these people but why do they have to be so dumb in some ways? But I know why: they've bought into Christianity, they've cast their lot with this worldview, and it corrupts their thinking in subtle ways.

Q: You are my last resort to find a simple answer to my simple need. I live in Snohomish and get off-and-on radio reception. This, of course, means that the channels I like to listen to come in fuzzy, if at all. I have DSL. I want to know if any company has been smart enough to make a clock radio that is capable of using the DSL to then pick and set streaming radio channels from the Internet. So far all the computer stores I have asked say no. I am hoping for an easier answer than buying a used computer just to have in the bedroom for the purpose of better radio clarity. Oh, and I don't want to pay a monthly service to get it. I see no sense in that when I have the DSL already.
— Neil Okrent
A: The list of such devices is growing. I'm aware of three products that might fill the bill for you. First, SoundBridge M1001 from Roku lists for $199. Check it out at www.rokulabs.com/index.php. Two other products are the Phoenix IP Radio from Baracoda (www.com-one.biz) and the AE WiFi Internet Radio from Acoustic Energy of England (www.acoustic-energy.co.uk).
Q: I have about 50 trays of slides I have scanned (and 50 more to go) and probably that many files again of digital pictures. I have numbered all of the pictures and labeled and dated most. I have been fruitlessly trying to figure out a way to print a list of each file. (The old slide trays all have my handwritten lists, but the newer trays and the digital picture files don't.) I have Windows XP, with picture programs ACDSee, Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Elements 4.0, and Word 2000 and 2003. I have tried opening a file of pictures, changing from thumbnails to "list," highlighting them all, and copying and pasting into a Word document. But it always pastes the picture, not the list. Is there some setting I can change, or a program I can purchase, that will enable me to do this? The closest I've been able to come is by doing a "Print Screen" and pasting that into Word. But that isn't handy and allows no editing. Can you help?

A: That is a piece of missing functionality in Windows Explorer. I've found several products, however, that you might want to consider. Print File List Pro (print-file-list-pro.insaneware-solutions.qarchive.org/) has a list price of $16.95. Print Directory (print-directory.ashisoft.qarchive.org/) has a list price of $14.95. And PrintFolder Pro (www.sharewareconnection.com/printfolder-pro.htm) is shareware. You can find even more options by searching the Internet for print list of filenames in Windows Explorer.
Q: Compared to the questions you usually get, this should be a breeze. How do you clean up the cache in the pull-down menus in Internet Explorer 5.0 on a PC? For example, I have all kinds of misspellings and old information that I would like to remove (Seattle, Seatle, Saettle, etc.). I would like to keep some of the information that is stored in the cache.
— C. Johnston
A: If you're talking about the pull-down list that is in the address bar, you'd go to the Tools menu, selection Internet Options and the click on the Clear History button. Unfortunately, there is no selective way to clear this cache. All items will be deleted.
Q: I have a program that downloaded itself onto my browser. The program, called Fotomat, has installed itself as a toolbar directly under the normal toolbar and I am unable to remove it under the usual Add/Remove Programs tool in the Control Panel. I have no idea how to rid myself of this. Repeated e-mails to the original company that sent this go unanswered. Can you give me any ideas of how to get rid of this?
— Gene Barrett, Mount Vernon
A: It's important that programs provide their own uninstall routines if they don't integrate with the Add/Remove Programs tool in the Control Panel. Fortunately, while many programs aren't so thoughtful, Fotomat does offer just such an option.
Just go to the Fotomat button on the far left of the toolbar, select Help and you'll see an option for uninstalling. You can either uninstall all the Fotomat software or just the toolbar.

I like the way things are looking...
but you kinda need to work on the working part of the program
I hope you've stopped with the new features thing and entered into a "bug bashing" mode
I only wish i could try to help out with this...
unfortunuatly for me... I have to get ready to leave for Germany:D
gunna teach some Germy's to speak English:D
ahem... yea... they're doomed to be taught to speak my twisted broken english...
every one in Europe will say beans every time something bad happens...
it's going to be a revolution... you'll see
but yea... Keep it up EqUiNoX
I'm here if you ever need any moral support... i guess

1) I have not yet developed a skin myself and my current knowlege is based upon documentation and conversations with ppl who have created skins themselves, for example TeamBlackbolt. Because of that I feel doing previews will help stop me missing out any key parts needed in the application.
2) The next release will do alot more than the previous release and want to have thoughts and feelings of what I have done to this new release. This also helps keep me motivated in continuing on this project.
3) Im also hoping doing various previews will help motivate ppl to donate to this project.
I hope that helps you understand my reasons behind things and am looking forward to releasing the next build, dont worry I am taking my time . Once it is released maybe you will see why I am doing another preview.

because i mean... It's kinda cruel don't you think????
"Here's an awesome app that should help you do things with your XBMC that you've been wanting to do for god knows how long... look at all the slick features... those buttons are nice, aren't they?"
and then it's all like...
"HA! YOU CAN'T USE IT! the app is currently in the pretty and taunting stage of development without any usability... wait some more you sucker"
and that's about when I shed a few tears
fortunuatly for me... I have patience... so... you better do a good job on it:P lol.
unfortunuatly... i'll have to have a lot because I think this thing is going to come out sometime within the next 3 months(hopefull) and I'll be in germany then... and I wont get to use it!!! OR MY XBOX!!!
so i'll even ahve to wait to use the great new skins that get made with it!!!
keep it coming |EqUiNoX|... keep it comin'

So thanks everyone for being so patient, I do think you will like what I have done so far and maybe will be able to start using it as a helper tool for now for creating skins by hand until development is complete. For example knowing what files in a XPR are so you can work out what to override when modifying an existing skin by hand.
This project is a rather big project but trying to concentrate on useability first then adding all the bells and whistles like wizards to do things at later stage.
Thanks for all your support and understanding.

what are you building this with again?
oo... and by any chance are you adding the ability to skin the Web Interface as well?
I really don't want to search the forums for this info... and you seem to be replying to this thread rather quickly
Rock on

None taken, I agree, given the tools more or less anything can be written. But for example to write a fully comprehensive Syntax Highlighter capable of parsing XML, HTML, PHP, Python, Javascript etc would take quite a while its self especially since this project is being done in my spare time.
Have you ever used JEdit (www.jedit.org) - not an advertisement - just an editor that does everything you just asked for, plus a hell of alot more - and it is free (along with all the plugins!)
Check it out - this will definately help a bunch!

can you integrate the option to save the png file out of the xpr file? I'm not speaking about an automated extract routine (i dislike the idea to rip protected files that easy), but sometimes it is quite handy if "lost" png files can be retrieved.
