I dislike Hicks, only partly for the nihilist junk he spouts, but also for the types of people who tend to embrace him.
Sorry, OP. No love. |

I miss Bill.
RIP, man. I've always felt he wanted to be the next George Carlin and just wasn't quite there. Maybe given time he would have reached that level. I do agree about the people who venerate Hicks. Fucking lunatics on the subject. Absolutely insane, generally speaking. About Hicks, that is. |

I think Bill sort of lost it during Desert Storm. He hated that war and GHWB. Went off the rails as far as I'm concerned.
Perhaps he'd been diagnosed with the pancreatic cancer and knew he didn't have long to say what he felt needed to be said. Who knows. I always enjoyed him and his takes on life up until that point. I do miss him. |

But that's politics at it's core right? We never recognize the good that someone else did or does because we don't like them or don't agree with them. It's important to be critical but it's equally important to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of others. This is all just my opinion. Others may differ and that's okay in my book. You have the right to and I respect that. The problem is society doesn't seem to teach true respect anymore. |

Give me a cost versus benefit comparison here. How many billions for that? How much was wasted. OP talks about not giving money, just food and clothing. Show me food and clothing that is free, or not collected from taxpayers. In case any of you were confused taxpayers are any of us with a job. Shove your armchair quarterback somewhere uncomfortable. I'm not saying foreign aid is bad or has not had any impact. I get great satisfaction from donating money and helping others. I get a little upset when it's done at gun point by corrupt assholes who really don't care. You realize OP basically said that all military spending should stop and it should be used for "the poor" right? Did any of you even watch the video? Edit: Forgot to say that the video production was great OP. Just not a fan of the message. |

I have been busting my ass since day one to make it so. The OP asked for opinions and I gave mine. If the OP said he wanted to fly or Africa and help teach them to basket weave I would applaud him for it. When he suggests taking every dime from the military and giving it to those who "need it" I take offense. Spend one minute looking at government aid or even charitable aid and see the misuse and just outright theft of it and it makes you sick. |

Talking about moving past the greed of humanity. When do you think this will happen? I applaud you caring but we live in the real world. Humanity is not going to move on from violence or greed.

Sorry OP but uhm...............No. The poor of the world need our money? Where have I heard this before. How much money has the United States government and the people of the U.S. given to Africa? Has anything changed? Feed the poor. LOL. I'm pretty sure I didn't say to give our money to the poor. I did say feed and cloth. As far as the money we have already given to other countries, we have to still grow up as a species until we are able to move past the greed of humanity. The only way to "feed and cloth" humanity is at the barrel of a gun. Take a look at what happens when things are given to people in Africa. A lot of times the strong end up taking if for themselves. Talking about moving past the greed of humanity. When do you think this will happen? I applaud you caring but we live in the real world. Humanity is not going to move on from violence or greed. Or do we just need your special brand of magic socialism that will solve everything? I mean it's worked so many times in the past............ I spent months in Haiti...our patients were often beaten and the meds we gave them stolen as soon as they left the compound. Children would be beaten for a bottle of water they walked out with...I have little faith in humanity. ETA: This was while being in the military that the OP wants to defund. Good to see you posting again! 
How's Steve doing? Well, I hope! |

The problem isn't so much philosophy as math. We spend $600 billion +/- on the .mil.
The stats I've seen say 80% of world population lives on < $10/day. But let's just deal with the 2 billion+ who live on $2/day. $600 billion is only < $1/day per person for them. Then take out logistics, corruption, and theft costs for shipping this food and clothing around the world. What's left? And the cost to us of firing several million .mil, support, and suppliers in this country? |

OP is voting for Bernie Sanders.
Sorry,Bill Hicks' "philosophy" is 17 year old stoner logic that is completely unrealistic given basic human behavior and economic reality. |

We will grow up as a species when we expect everyone to feed and clothe themselves. |

The message is not too far off from the biblical "swords turned into plowshares" and "lions lying down with lambs" but it is utterly unrealistic in this world of feud unless and until a golden age of man comes. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Will not go too well. Production is great. Message is wrong impossibly idealistic, IMHO.

RIP bill, he was a man ahead of his time.Good luck with this OP, 1/2 Of arfcom hates anyone with a different point of view. He was so good that Dennis Leary was able to build an entire career off of his jokes.

I love ya buddy, but give me a ring on the next voiceover. lol why's that? Because watch the views go up, when and if I narrate it with some sultry tones.
My voice is pure sex. Everybody says as much. Well I can always improve on the edit. If I do I'll hit you up. Did you message my Facebook page? I liked it. Kick me the exact script you used (Bill Hicks had quite a few), and watch the magic. Subnet does have a good voice for that stuff, if you've ever caught his WSUB "radio" show he does.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
If the OP said he wanted to fly to Africa and help teach them to basket weave I would applaud him for it. When he suggests taking every dime from the military and giving it to those who "need it" I take offense. Spend one minute looking at government aid or even charitable aid and see the misuse and just outright theft of it and it makes you sick. Are you saying that you take offense to my philosophical video? I'm a medically retired Nightstalker and I am NOT suggesting that we "take every dime from the military and give it to those in need". That concept would be far in the future if we ever reach it as a species. Im not just talking about the US military. Its just we are the country that comes to mind when the military is involved. I know foreign aid doesn't really work and that hardly any of it actually get to those in need. For the philosophy in this video to work it would take a complete 180 shift in our global conscience or a "golden age" to achieve it and that is a long ways away. |

If by long ways away you actually mean never, then you're right. You are basically word for word parroting empty headed socialist drivel. |
