      Carlin’s quote said nothing about “defense”.

      And in any case, e.g. NATO’s prevention of the genocide was not “defense”. Was that also like "fucking for Virginity”? I have met some people from Kosovo, and they certainly do not think so, naming their children after Bill Clinton and all… No, Carlin is an idiot here.

        If Carlin had to be as specific as you’d like that quote to be then it wouldn’t be much of a joke.

        It’s not hard to understand what he was saying.

          I actually don’t understand what Carlin is saying, then. “The wars I don’t like are bad”?

          An overbroad and often false generalization is not a good joke. So yes, it isn’t much of a joke.
