People forget Carlin was a comedian.

"It's a big club and you ain't in it". Obviously the problem is the club is too small, that's why for most of the people it is true that they are not part of it.

"Half the population is stupider than how stupid the average person is". As if somehow there's not a single person exactly on the median. In fact there is probably a huge number of people there, and within a margin of error of it.

That would seem to include you?

How do you figure? I don't have a problem with Carlin, but with people who quote him as a source of wisdom.

The commenter who quoted him here in the thread meant to make a joke and I didn't get it? I thought he quoted him as a point against the law we are discussing.

You're semantically quibbling with a clear joke and using those quibbles to avoid engaging with the point it's making.

> "Selling is legal, and fucking is legal; but selling fucking is not legal."

I don't get it. The literal interpretation is a clear joke, as you say. So what's the point that it is making?

To be clear, I think the law discussed is stupid. I also think the argument that if both parts are legal they should also be legal together is wrong. What am I avoiding?

[ceejayoz]

I'm referring to the two other jokes you quoted.

[lucianbr]

What was I avoiding with those?

I am quite acquainted with Carlin. If there's anyone that can have their absurd logic repeated back to them, it would be a comedian. And That Right Soon.
