The brilliant Louis CK hits the nail on the head again....


...but which side are you on? The 'Of course' or the 'But maybe'? I tend to find myself convinced more by the 'but maybe' arguments, but only a little.

The problem I find with the 'of course' crowd is that they think they can hold the moral integrity of that side whilst weirdly assuming the clearly greater outcome of the 'but maybe' side will still prevail.

I think his last comment on choosing between living like the Amish and having smart phones is particularly poignant, yet one overlooked by many [so-called] left-wing 'intellectuals' [cough..cough..elmarko...cough...).

I was reminded of the above skit whilst reading the thread on a Muslim family being given champagne as compensation for a non-halal meat-filled pasty at Morrisons. My immediate opinion was "Of course we should respect people's personal beliefs and customs and make reasonable adjustments to cater for them....but maybe...if you believe eating meat not slaughtered in a manner described by a thousand year old book will send you to hell whilst conforming to the rule will guarantee you 72 virgins in heaven and that society should respect that point of view, then maybe you're a bit wacko"

Why is it whenever you post a video I cannot watch it on an iOS device?...others post videos and I have no issues, only it seems yours, are you doing something differently?

Dunno, it's just a youtube link. Search your Youtube app for "Louis CK Of course But Maybe" for the same video.

Thanks, I dunno why either, other youtube links work. I look at it later. :)


E: I hadn't heard of this guy before, but I, of course, found that hilarious, and just maybe...a little bit true!! ;) particularly the Soldier and Slavery bits....

I don't think he hit much there tbh, by his second run at the wall he was already backing out of it.
Most of the darker comedians hit on similar taboo subjects, Hicks was doing much more punchier stuff years ago.

As for the title of thread about GD, for each person who has an opinion there will be someone to oppose, you get this, even your own sig says so :).

The CK guy is alright but there are many more comedians doing better obs and a lot more funny with it too. Try Bill Burr if you don't believe me.

Look up his routine on 'being white'..brilliant, but would probably be branded a racist if he was British (even though the context is clearly explained).
 
I think a lot of people on here argue for arguments sake.

This is pointed at anyone in particular but there are some arguments where people cannot be wrong (or admit they are wrong) and it goes around in circles for 3 pages.

Whereas in real life I don't think they would be half as obnoxious as they are on here.

I don't really see you argue much tbh, maybe threads I don't bother with lol.

I'm the opposite, on here I'll give up as I can't be arsed going back and forth, in real life I'll argue till the cows come home if I think I'm right!

Because he's putting ?&v= in the url, which he shouldn't be.
