I believe Bill Hicks right there was doing all there was that was available to him to try and "destroy" the fascism that was taking hold in the US at this time. Be disgusting. If you need beautiful and uplifting screeds from Hicks, you will find those too. But this one, was the one I believe that got Hicks assassinated. I am of the camp he was assassinated. I am also of the camp that Bill Hicks was one of the most important figures that should America see a new revolution, he will figure quite considerably in it.
Do I know? No. I, personally think he was assassinated by the family that believes itself to be American royalty. Is what he said offensive and disgusting? Yes. That was the point. It was to offend the Satanic Bush family, not you and your gender. That's how I see it and also how I fully believe he meant it. The asshole wasn't an idiot, but a firebrand that tested the limits of free speech within the norms of the time and the steady march of idiocracy he portended. (see his American Gladiators commentary)
Whether you want to believe it or not, Bill Hicks did everything he could and I would suggest, sacrificed his life, so that we can be here today, talking on the webs. He needed to use this terminology in order to make a point. This was before the Internet. Before "trolls". Before tweeting. He used his mind and expressed "full spectrum dominance" on that which was unprepared to respond to such a thing known as "calling one out". Hicks called it. He spoke his mind. Didn't mince any words. And didn't give a fuck whether Perelandra or Barbara Bush was offended. (I'm certainly not comparing or equating you to Barbara bush, Perelandra)
Hardly was this offensive any more so than the Bush family's 10s of millions dead through their many decades of death they have brought the world (that we can historically track down -- WWI on up to now). Hicks called it and Bush's beautiful mind well before she did. While Hicks was personally offending in the most stark terms available, the bush's were busy exterminating tens of thousands of humans on the "Highway of Death".
There is nothing gratuitous, nonsensical or ugly about anything that I have seen concerning Bill Hicks ever. Obscene? Yes. 101% less obscene than fucking genocide though. Save your disgust for the bush clan and their hangers-on. Barbara Bush is a specimen of such evil, in my book, that it would take a million Hicks to amount to. 100 million G HW bush's and 1 billion dubyas.
Bill Hicks is a saint.
That's fine that you feel that way, there's no accounting for taste. Strange that even though I was vehemently disgusted by the Bushes twenty-odd years ago, I only heard of Hicks recently, maybe even here.82_28 wrote:Bill Hicks is a saint.

Anyway, although he had a right and maybe a moral obligation to utter his philosophies, I don't think that applies to inserting obscenities in print in a forum which includes kids, grandmas, and survivors of abuse. It could be considered triggering, even. That's what I find gratuitous. Do you understand? Have a heart, provide a warning or a link, at least.

No argument there. Even though I found that particular bit offensive, unfunny, and unhelpful, I accept that others feel differently. Nor do I think his more valuable insights need any defense, he was brilliant.Project Willow wrote:I have to disagree Pere, the Bushes (less the youngest as it wasn't or isn't their fault, yet) deserve whatever vitriol is spewed their way and Bill's was brilliant. Too bad he's not around anymore.

Hate to be the party pooper but there does appear to be diverging rather than converging perspective on that pyramid. LOL.
