College Student Reacts To George Carlin - Saving the Planet

[@jamesl6639]

George was talking about the virus HIV. Peace!

[@ItApproaches]

Doesn't change it's applicability.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

He said ...."this First virus"!!!

[@donfette5301]

@@ItApproachesYes it does. Rona isn’t a virus that is transmitted through reproduction and it doesn’t destroy our immune system and lead to AIDS. Rona is a joke compared to HIV. (But I see what you are trying to say)

Being 52 its nice to see the young guns catching up. Carlin is 100% on every issue. The human arrogance is through the roof. Great reaction

[@CaddyJim]

This was uploaded to *KZbin* in *2007* but this is *George Carlin* from *1992*

[@daveb9920]

Imagine what George would say about stuff today. Gawd do I wish we had his voice now. 😊

[@ASKMEABOUTMYGARDEN]

He would call it out for the bullshit it is.

[@thelocalbubble]

i think one of the things he would bring up is that jails and prisons is called correctional facilities now hahaha.i can just hear George say. ohh i was so wrong and they corrected me, and look at this facility🧱🧱😄 sounds like a great place to go now.👮‍♀👮‍♂

[@MeryKeit]

everything he said back in 92 is as relevant as ever today

[@1223jamez]

I am a conservative and I agree a lot with what George Carlin says!

[@dusttodust915]

He only died a couple yrs ago when all this was happening. What he'd say about our presidential candidates is something I would have liked to see.

[@paulbromley6687]

George was a Poet and a Prophet. We need him now.

[@vRoD-jr5ue]

This should be played in every college class every day. Maybe then the students will open their eyes.

[@Meeshrick]

This was 1992 i believe. The sexual transferd virus he was talking about was human immunodeficiency virus (HIV/AIDS) However, great reaction dude. Keep it up.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

I would agree if he hadn't said "this First virus"! Yes, he was referring to HIV/aids but that was just 1st the virus !

George was not a comedian, he was a philosopher that told jokes, he was the best at it, miss you George.

[@allisterfiend_2112]

After all these years he is still spot on!

[@lawsonic]

Watching all George Carlin videos is more valuable than a college degree

[@flubblert]

He's right... It's not the planet that we're putting in danger, it's us. The planet will be here long long long after we're gone like it's always been. We've got the terminology all wrong. When we destroy our environment we're only destroying ourselves, *not* the planet. What arrogance to act like we're somehow saving the planet. We are but a millisecond in the life of planet earth And it takes the genius of George Carlin to point that out. 👍👍

[@projectomnia1997]

It's mass hubris, thinking we are way more important than we actually are.

dude been watching and listening to him for 30 years. he knows. oh he knows.

Watch more George

[@jorgecolon2014]

Ok Silas, listen carefully. You Must check out his bit called MODERN MAN if you want to be impressed! I challenge you to be able to repeat just half of his routine without forgetting a word. George was a master of the English language and took pride in using it effectively.

[@mitchshelton2995]

Liked and subscribed. Nice job. He was so far ahead of his time even when he started in the 60’s. Love and respect.

[@GryLi]

I love his shows

[@rebeccalooney707]

Every young person should watch George 😂❤

[@AdamSanchez-cd6wx]

I think its hilarious that a lot of people who have reacted to this always look up when this originally aired when Carlin started talking about viruses.

[@justinhowell8873]

George was decades above the truth!!!

[@belinda9696]

He was talking about Hiv/aids, it took out a lot of people like in the late 70's & 80's before they discovered a good medicine to help people with it live longer.

[@PBRatLord]

His bit 'On Time' si equally as compelling as this one, dude was a legend. He was referencing the AIDS epidemic btw. And I believe this was recorded in 97

[@ChaosInFlux]

Carlin on Campus was released in 1984, he was ahead of his time.

[@Luna_and_Miles]

One of Carlin's best. Such a visionary.

[@jfn2462]

Great choice, Silas! You've GOTTA check out his bit "Balance the Budget". Thanks, man!

[@vampirebrianne]

I was lucky enough to see George perform this live. He was talking about AIDS.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Yes as being the 1st virus! Of virus's to come!

[@bartstarr100]

@@Sunny-jz3dythe first virus? Lol. That’s hilarious

[@jjstarrprod]

Great to see younger folks like you discover this treasure of humanity that is Georges Carlin. The show dates from 1992, and he was talking about VIH or AIDS, which at the time was THE big virus of the decade. But for sure, it could totally apply to COVID these days. He wasn't ahead of his time, he was totally of his times. It's the time that haven't changed since the 90's (if anything, it got worse).

[@jimtatro6550]

Check out Fussy Eater from George since Thanksgiving is coming up, it’s hysterical 😂

[@biorage6670]

Hey Silas, if you havent seen the 1997 movie Dogma, check it out! George Carlin has a small role in it and the movie has a host of great actors in their youth; Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Alan Rickman, Salma Hayek among others. If you die of laughter don't blame me ; )

[@jeffreywillis4258]

Interestingly, there was a time when nature could not break down wood. Fallen trees remained for centuries before eventually an organism(s) was created by nature that feeds on and breaks down wood. I recently read that scientists have already found an organism that has adapted to feed on plastic.

This was in the 80's... and he was brave enough to bring us his insights. It was really frowned upon in those days. Ask John Lennon. His legacy shows what "the courage of your convictions" looks like.

That's hubris talking. We're still not a threat to the earth, we're a threat to ourselves.

[@logankerlee]

:) Really enjoyed this reaction! Happy that you liked ti as well. lmao, Carlin's been dead for a number of years now - good bit before COVID was a thing. Kinda obvious what he was talking about at the end and was mighty clear at the time of the show. Looking forward to more Carlin! :)

George Carlin stuff with poplar back in the 1985

[@Buds1own]

♥ But, where are we after??? :) Love the reaction!! ♥ also.... When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Matthew 9:36 ♥ Psalm 18:6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

Glad to be with you. This was shortly after aids was the new problem. The man was a genius and way ahead of his time. I agree with others now that I see the comments that we need his wisdom more now than ever

A curve ball my friend... You're looking at 'different' bands. Have you tried Spock's Beard? They woke me up after my Genesis, Floyd, Supertramp, ELO obsession... 'Snow' (try it live), 'The Light', 'Kindness of Strangers', they're magic and cover all genres. I'd suggest a listen to the first two. Cover them and you'll make a lot of friends.

[@HyperMoon]

33 now first heard George when I was 13. Even today my thinking is heavily influenced by Carlin's perspectives. I might not be as pessimistic these days, but no doubt he broadened my horizon for how to think about the human race and spoke alot of raw truths that are more relevant even today

[@jackempson3044]

That's funny. I just watched a youtube video last night of a scientist that says the universe is run on electricity. The big Electron. George was ahead of his time.

[@taoist32]

Any link? It sounds like a fascinating video.

[@js6729]

This is scarily realistic if I'm being honest

Actually, he was referring to the AIDS virus the auto immune deficiency virus

[@pookie717]

Love watching young kids who watch this and don't understand how the hiv/aids virus effected the world like covid. Not nearly as deadly but people actually listened to doctors and took precautions. Yes I know it wasn't spread the same way but condom sales etc went through the roof! One love we be well and great react.

Silas, enjoy your youth. The earth's human population was half what is today when I was your age (I'm 67). That is more than 4 billion more poor and displaced people. I don't care to imagine the world with more than double that figure, in your life time. Good luck, and I mean it!

Great Reaction, You listened & Thought about the reality of it all... I'm with Mr, Carlin on this.. He was a genius in so many ways R.I.P. To A Very Smart & Funny Man ! Firstly, Yes I like a clean planet like most. But Seriously, All these people complaining about the fuels, etc in the air from car's etc... Everyone claiming that's what's been causing the extreme weather & temps over the last 5 yrs or longer.. Here's a couple thing's to think about in regards to this.. Firstly I think the planet is now going through a Full Evolution And we as the human race are getting to see the full affect of it... Example Everyone is saying it's all the Emissions in the air now Are causing the extreme heat & cold temps.. What A Joke That Is... Example : Just watch the tv newscast weather reports... They usually start off with the current day's Temp, Then they show Last Year's Temp On This Date, Then The Record Temps For Heat & Cold on the specific date.. Around 85 % Of The Time Those Record Temps Were In The Late 1800's or Early 1900's... Hmm... Don't Recall A Whole Bunch Of Car's On The Roads Back Then, Don't Recall A Whole Bunch Of Factories Pushing out A Ton Of Emissions And Don't recall A Whole Lot Of Airplanes In The Skies Either... I'm An Older Person & We Were Actually taught About The Planet & Evolution In School.. Can't Quite Figure Out Why, All The So Called Experts Aren't Telling Us The Truth.. Though Everything Is All About The Almighty Dollar In Today's World All This Recycled Bull, Plastic Bag's Etc... We Pay Triple The Price Now & 90% Of It Doesn't Last Worth A Crap.. Hmm... People, Pickup Your Garbage So The Planet Looks Good.. But, Really... A Plastic Straw Is Going To Hurt The Planet? The Planet Is Fine & Cleansing Itself Now.. Us Human's Are A Total Mess... And Stop Throwing Your Garbage On The Ground & In The Ocean's... Sorry For The Short Novel... Cheers
