Real Time with Bill Maher: New Rule - In Defense of Recklessness (HBO)

[@SuperKikelove]

Well this is without a doubt, top three on the best Bill Maher new rules ever!

[@Harkness78]

+Enrique Gonzalez No it wasn't that good, his tone was way too bitchy.

[@SuperKikelove]

+Harkness78 In my view it was, why? because despite the "tone", it highlights a giant issue that is destroying our society which is the fact that people have a tendency to think that they know best when it comes to other people's lifes. and that is a big issue. People need to understand that no matter you personal view, you have NO AUTHORITY to tell anyone what to do, feel or think. People don't understand this.

[@jordanromaker]

+Enrique Gonzalez I felt so too. Everything was so spot on.

[@SuperKikelove]

+Hiei EXACTLY

[@randzopyr1038]

+Enrique Gonzalez By being part of a society you give people the right to tell you what to do. You accept certain social norms, you accept the rule of law, etc... You can push for social change, but breaking the law or violating the taboos of society while still living in said society will cause that society to try to punish you. That's why Snowden is in Russia - many Americans don't necessarily agree that what he did was wrong, but until the social norms (in this case laws) change, he's an outcast and if he tries to come back into the society he has to face its punishment. To give a specific example - this may have been a case of underage consensual sex, but far too often it happens without consent - were it legal it would happen that much more often without consent because Rape is particularly hard to prove and prosecute for a myriad of reasons far too detailed and long to discuss here. But if you can't tell someone what to do or how to behave, people will do it because they can, and more people will be damaged for life because of it.

[@TheBroadway27]

Hit the nail right on the head. I have never once cared how someone chose to live their lives as long as they weren't infringing upon others. I can't imagine living my life trying to dictate to others how they should live theirs.

[@catsaresocute650]

I don't care that much, exept I do when it harms others. What is why I think pedohiles are best after they've been put down.

[@InsomniaS3S]

I feel like this is a monologue worthy of putting on my wall to wake up and read every morning. Keep it coming Bill!

[@theocean1973]

"How do you follow David Bowie in a Kimono?" How about Jimmy Page in a top hat? Because, according to Zeppelin lore, that's what happened.

[@mikewines7852]

Jimmy Page not only "dated" a 15 year old, he took her with him for an entire North American tour.

[@avedic]

@@mikewines7852 Are you jealous or something?

[@mikewines7852]

@@avedic Not really, l prefer my women to be able to hold an interesting conversation for more than one sentence.........and not have a bedroom full of stuffed animals and boy band posters.

[@jacobknighten798]

life should be measured by quality, not quantity

[@hitomi969]

+Jacob Knighten But how do you measure the quality of a life ? It's a too subjective concept !

[@KhaledTheSaudiHawkII]

+hitomi969 l think there exists a short list of quantifiable list of life quality metrics that should include mental, social and financial health. You should balance that against the fun-making bad choices you might have to make. Smoking, for instance, is a redundant perpetual risk that clearly doesnt pass an objective risk/fun analysis in the long run. You get my point l guess.

[@hitomi969]

Ronin of Saudi I get your point and I agree totally. BUT, in this case, quality of life implies quantity (duration) of that life...

[@Aeroldoth3]

+Jacob Knighten Wrong. Life shouldn't be measured by anybody's yardstick but your own.

[@JonnyRocketfingers7]

+hitomi969 Exactly! Quality or meaning is subjective. But, if it were to be objective, like any other living thing our purpose would be to grow. There are even studies that show life is perceived longer when we try new things. Both in the moment and in memory. So, how much you have changed and grown is a great measure of life quality.

[@TommyChardonneret]

Maher is certainly at the top of HIS game as demonstrated by this video segment alone! Brilliantly scolding and simultaneously hilarious! I couldn't help but burst out laughing when that Chris Brown photo finally popped up after the usual suspects of stock photography. And then, the context of the "pressure pushing me down" quote from the pop hit by Bowie and Queen of "Under Pressure" really brought tears of joy to my eyes!

[@Soccercrazyigboman]

This was beautifully said with a perfect blend of humor

[@mmariedennis]

I agree with Maher 100% about Bowie and Lori.

[@Nickelicious7]

"And this time, they kind of have a point." So painfully true

[@AllIsWellaus]

World Class Bill Maher. Cheers Bill, I needed that.

[@rossiman54]

Bravo!! Top class bit!

[@ShawnMenchaca]

Concussion was amazing!

[@JC-im6nf]

For the record, Lori Maddox also had relationships with Jimmy Page and Keith Moon apart from her time with Bowie. She was one of the most famous groupies of the 1970s and was underage for all of these encounters. She consistently lied about her age in order to get famous musicians to sleep with her and was very much a willing participant. Look up an old interview with her discussing this time of her life and tell me if that looks like a regretful woman to you.

[@djsingh5031]

Bill you are so awesome !!

[@jacobzaranyika9334]

I watched Concussion. The best example of asking questions.

[@catherineconti5222]

Agree with the disagreement!

[@memetherapy]

The irony of making this speech while Gloria Steinem's sitting next to you.

[@ALSeth-Storyteller]

By far, his most inspiring monologue ever...

[@Citadel1221]

When I was a teenager, I didn't do anything that compromised my health or safety... and honestly, I kinda regret it.

[@l21n18]

I feel ya

[@paintedhorse6880]

Hey thats what your 20's are for

[@lloyda620]

I'm a self described stick-in-the-mud sort of guy, and I personally don't have a problem with recklessness that doesn't affect other people. But I do reserve the right enjoy when those consequences for those actions rear their heads. Maybe its just jealousy for not having lived more myself, but hey my thoughts don't hurt anyone...

[@Brian-nt1hh]

Thank you Bill

Don't let that ^ stop you from fucking though.

[@xSwordLilyx]

I love hearing Bill Maher through the wall and coming in to bother my dad and watch Real Time with him. Last night's New Rules was very funny. It's like watching the Buckingham guard crack a wry grin to hear him laugh like that.

[@warren2948]

nailed it

[@malikmalak4631]

Thank you for making it in one video instead of splitting it up.

[@rockarollerify]

"Most deflowerings involve Michelob, a van, and crying". - Perfect rebuttal Bill.

[@nofatebutwhatwemake9880]

When Bill said that, the camera fortunately cut to Alex Wagner, who couldn't stop laughing, although her modesty and sensitivity made her try to hide her smile behind her hand. I remember when Michelob and vans were a thing, and I think Bill's imagery was on target, including the crying.

[@joemutt359]

[@mrnonsense1031]

"Lets take our clothes off and wrestle. It won't be gay at all. 😁" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ThisOldHat]

The issue raised by Dr. Amalu is important because it shed light on a hazard of playing football that wasn't acknowledged beforehand. I agree that people should be allowed to determine when they want to risk their health, but people can't make a reasonable decision if they aren't informed of the dangers. The film starring Will Smith actually confuses the issue by being called "concussion". There is a difference between chronic traumatic encephalopathy and concussions, and CTE can manifest in someone who is never diagnosed with a concussion.

[@strawberryfields9762]

One day short of my 19th birthday, yasss Queen👏🏻😂

[@RobynPhoenix2]

AND THAT is why RUGBY is a better sport. Lots of tackling, NO padding, FASTER game, still not half as many concussions as Gridiron! And also, a truly international game! Rugby rules!!!

[@pavelradev1990]

I'm 19 about to be 20 and I live a very calm and happy lifestyle. I go to college, I get Grant money to pay my bills. I go to the gym 5 days a week. I have a very healthy diet, I go to bed at 9-9:30 ish. I go on long hikes occasionally. I used to smoke and drink but I don't anymore because I don't like it. All college students/young people are not party animals that say "Fuck the future". I am very happy with my life and I don't need that shit anymore. But hey, to each their own. I don't like to judge, it's a nasty thing to do. I also grew up in the ghetto so I know people who destroy their lives with BS everyday. All I'm saying is that I don't want young people to be stereotyped as delinquents and degenerates.

[@l21n18]

People shouldn’t be stereotyped like that though those terms are in the eye of the beholder. Don’t know why people want to mess up their lives, can’t they just wait a bit

[@l21n18]

Why should anyone care about the future? I don’t think anyone should care about the future and that everyone should be reckless

[@rg0057]

You're exactly right, sir. But there's a high school full of kids headed to prison for taking pictures of themselves. So don't tell us. Tell the prosecutors.

[@dazz9268]

New Rules are so funny. this is a good one. Lol

[@ItsBigL21]

Riding dirt bikes, skateboarding with no helmet, riding a bike in traffic, playing sports, smoking weed, drinking, literally jumping down a flight of stairs like fucking spiderman lol... Did I live my younger life thinking about preserving my health long term, hell no. Do I regret all the fun I had from ages 3-24..and beyond? Not a chance at all. So long as your fun doesn't (within reason) affect anyone else who gives a shit?

[@---ed2ob]

My man!

[@kev9089798767]

This is one of the rare occasions I'd genuinely describe Bill as 'liberal' in it's true sense.

[@ImperialGoldfish]

Wow, the like ratio on this one is massive. Interesting to see so much consensus.

[@EHCBunny4real]

Recklessness leads to regret when you are older and your body aches, and the prosecutor tells you the statute of limitations doesn't apply to your past.

[@MonarchMKUltra]

What? Do you know what the statute of limitations are?

[@EHCBunny4real]

Ask Bill Cosby

[@bvishal2kn]

But you can always treat that with medical marijuana

[@nonmagicmike723]

+EH CBunny -- Even though I'm the cautious, always-has-a-plan-B kind of guy, I agree with Bill on this one. Letting reckless people do their thing is how natural selection gradually weeds the least fit out of civilization. We should let natural selection take its course a little, if anything to make up for the prolific breeding of the lower, dumber classes (and survival of their spawns) that's been taking place since the advent of modern welfare.

[@EHCBunny4real]

I guess so. I once dated a guy in college who acted before thinking and he ended up a paraplegic because he jumped off a bridge. His spur of the moment recklessness ended his dreams of being an officer in the Air Force and having inter racial children.

These clips remind me of Will McAvoy's monolgues. Wish HBO hadn't canned the Newsroom series

[@aliaselysum4401]

So Bill was Bowie wearing a kimono when you lost your virginity too or was one of his songs just on when you lost it?

[@sylvainbeaulieu6300]

Looking at the facial reaction of Alex Wagner at 3:21 it feels like it probably brought her memories of her youth.

[@mr7wi]

Well said Bill - life should be lived without always wearing a helmet.

[@leddeniferjadaniston5637]

Nobody is trying to stop people from playing football.People should be well informed of the risks and potential consequences of their actions and not be kept in the dark about them as the NFL was trying to do.However in Bills case,he was fully aware of the consequences of alcohol consumption and still chose to do so at the risk damaging his own health

[@IlGreven]

Man, Bill just loves running down DC Cab, doesn't he? :)

[@lielastrong2026]

As someone who actually suffered traumatic brain injury five years ago, and lives with the crippling depression and memory loss associated with it...(bike accident wearing helmet). I don’t know how I feel about this piece. Brain injury is a serious disability, at times it’s severity can be compared to paralysis. Honestly..I’d have a hard time choosing between the two, I really think I might choose paralysis had I not improved symptomatically this last year. People are free to live their lives and fuck things up, hurt themselves with drugs and reckless action...but shouldn’t limits be drawn? Brain injury destroyed my life. People have no idea. They just don’t know. One day in my life man, you’d wish you were dead. It’s such shit, everything hurts all the time.

[@DanTheMan8819]

Well said, Bill. Every NFL fan with a brain knows all too well the health risks that the players may deal with. Torn ligaments, broken bones, concussions. As you said, all an unfortunate side-effect to a sport many Americans (and I, as a Canadian) enjoy.

At 27 million dollars a year for some of these guys they sign that contract knowing these possibilities. I hardly feel sorry for any of them.
