Thread: Creationism video. (Bill Hicks)

Oh man...

Damn, there were some great cartoons concerning this on Cagle's Editorial Cartoon site, but I can't find them anymore! :sweat2:

Higher Education at its Finest!

Oh come on Rev, that's funny.

I'd be interested to hear your take on dinosaurs though.

ugh. quicktime.

I wish people would figure-out that quicktime is looong dead. Video on the Internet *has* to be streaming. I gave up after 30sec. I'm not going to sit around and do nothing while it downloads the entire thing... Too bad, so sad.

I might have thought that was funny when I was 8.

What nonsense. I'm sure you have a point - somewhere. Just not here.

For one, quicktime does stream. For two, it streams in a variety of formats, including H.264, MP4, and 3GPP. For three, when it doesn't stream, you can still play it while it is downloading, which is better than streaming IMO, because then it's as good as watching a file on your comp. I didn't have to sit around and wait for it to downloaded the whole thing. I didn't have to wait one second. And with QT Pro I could save it, burn it, or resize it so I could watch it on my iPod.

It's no biggie, though. This video was really juvenile. If all it takes to be a comedian is to think of stuff from when I was a kid, then I'm in the wrong business.

Please explain.

Well, what kid doesn't like dinosaurs enough to already know that people who think the world is 12,000 years old are nuts?

Sorry, I guess I'm just bitter from growing up with creationists.

I mean, they didn't just teach Intelligent Design at my school. We worshipped it.

Sorry Mr. Highbrow. Didn't mean to bore you.

You didn't! Bill Hicks did.

Were you trying to entertain me, Brady? If so, no need to apologize. I'm flattered.

Bill Hicks is the best stand up of all time. He summed up Christianity with "Eternal suffering for questioning God's infinite love". He said that after a show in Alabama, some rednecks started pushing him and one of them said, "Hey boy, we're Christians, and we don't like what you were saying," so Bill said, "Well then, forgive me." Some nut yelled at him, "My grand daddy fought for that flag!" and Bill replied, "Oh yeh? Well I bought mine." Somebody told him, "Forget about what happened to Kennedy. Let it go. It was a long time ago." So Bill said, "Well for that matter, stop talking to me about Jesus."

I couldn't get this computer to download the clip, but I saw it a while back. If I quoted anything mentioned in it, I hope the Christians will forgive me.
