Have you ever heard your dad telling you that his generation was the best there ever was and that every new generation of kids are getting more corrupted, disrespectful and unmannered.

<p class="MsoNormal">He probably heard the same thing from his dad and so on. If you dad or someone older starts telling those stories again, just counter it with following quote:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>â€œThe children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.â€</em></p>

Here are some of the hand picked quotes from Carlin in no particular order.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œThink of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.â€</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œSwimming is not a sport. Swimming is a way to keep from drowning. Thatâ€™s just common sense!â€</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œI wanna live. I donâ€™t wanna die. Thatâ€™s the whole meaning of life: Not dying! I figured that shit out by myself in the third grade.â€</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œIf itâ€™s true that our species is alone in the universe, then Iâ€™d have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.â€</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œYou know the good part about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans.â€</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œEver notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?â€</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œIsnâ€™t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do practice?â€</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œMost people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.â€</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œI donâ€™t have a fear of heights. I do, however, have a fear of <em>falling</em> from heights.â€</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œI have as much authority as the Pope. I just donâ€™t have as many people who believe it.â€</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œI&#8217;m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.â€</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œIf God had intended us not to masturbate he would&#8217;ve made our arms shorterâ€</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">â€œ&#8221;I am&#8221; is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that &#8220;I do&#8221; is the longest sentence?â€</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img width="96" height="96" id="image36" alt="cold turkey" src="http://www.crankypot.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/AK02-cold-turkey.thumbnail.gif" />  I just quit smoking so I thought I&#8217;d post the progress here, even if I&#8217;m the only one who cares. It will make me feel better.Officialy I quit on Friday 14th at 11:59pm so I am three full days nicotine free. Let me tell you first day was a pure hell. Waking up to the neighbors leaf blower and 100 degree hot ass day wasn&#8217;t exactly Mardi Gras, but I got through it. Second day wasn&#8217;t much better either, but it went without incidents. Now, today for me was a big day since it is my first day at work without cigarettes. Cravings were much lighter today and I got through the day pretty easily actually. It would be even easier if it wasn&#8217;t for false fire alarm that made us stand outside on the 100+ degree weather. Well, believe it or not cigarette was the first thing I thought of after they escorted us outside.Off to the next day.</p>
<p><em><strong>Note: Advance appologies to my wife for everything I said and I will say to her during the Operation Cold Turkey</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><img width="86" height="96" alt="crankyface.jpg" id="image6" src="http://crankypot.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/crankyface.thumbnail.jpg" /> The other day I was flipping through channels and they were showing movie Casino on USA Network. I though â€œhmmm. I already watched it few times but I could watch this movie every dayâ€. Bad mistake. Watching this movie on USA network (or on any other national channels) is like steel shaft being driven through my head.<br />
Why? Censorship!<br />
Iâ€™d say good 60% of dialogue was turned into annoying bleeps and changed to a â€œfamily friendlyâ€ dialogue.<span id="more-12"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First of all: there is nothing â€œFamily Friendlyâ€ about the movie itself.<br />
Second: If I was Martin Scorsese I would not allow USA to do something like that to my movie. Third: Do you really think that saying frick you! Instead of fuck you! Is going to keep your child from becoming physcopatic lunatic?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">De Niroâ€™s (brilliant as always) voice was substituted with the voice of some no talent idiot pretty much every time he opened his mouth. I donâ€™t even want to go to Joe Pesciâ€™s character.<br />
Sometimes I think that USA network and other networks are doing this just to see how much they can piss people off.<br />
Censorship is one of the biggest things that makes me cranky, and US media has almost no competition (maybe Middle East has more censorship, but thats debatable)<br />
Maybe me coming from Europe (where they donâ€™t censor anything) has to do something with it but any sane person will know that hiding female boobs and curse words wonâ€™t make your childâ€™s life better. On the contrary, if that child hasnâ€™t seen naked female, boob, tasted a beer or heard a curse word by the time he is 16, Look out! Thatâ€™s potential serial killer right there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">I am sure that you all experienced traffic crankiness more then few times in your life.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img id="image6" src="http://crankypot.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/crankyface.thumbnail.jpg" alt="crankyface.jpg" width="86" height="96" />One of the most annoying aspects of traffic to me is not the drivers itself (even though that&#8217;s debatable) but traffic lights.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Imagine a long and busy street with traffic stop light every 50 yards or so. (There are many of them in mid west). You are in your car and there are 50 cars in front of you, so before you reach that first traffic stop light all of those cars will have to go through that light. Finally after 10 agonizing minutes you&#8217;re the sixth car in a row and you have your pedal to the metal and then? RED!<span id="more-7"></span> You&#8217;re stuck at the same damn light for another 10 minutes. OK, you smoke a cigarette and lights turn green again, but the first car is not moving because driver either fell asleep or they&#8217;e on Prozac. Almost another minute passes until Mr. Prozac looses his color blindness and realizes that he has a green light. Two cars go through and the light turns red AGAIN! How&#8217;s this possible?-You ask yourself. Last time green lasted for good 5 minutes and this time only a minute.<br />
That&#8217;s why they call it annoyance.<br />
At this moment I am already boiling so I inject more nicotine in my brain.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">10 minutes passes by and light turns green again, and finally I am the first car at the stop light and ready to go through just to find out that traffic is so backed up that if I go through I will be stuck in the middle of the cross section and cars from left and right won&#8217;t be able to go their ways. What is up with that? (Some drivers just don&#8217;t care and they will go through, sit in their cars in the middle of the fricking cross road and pretend that they don&#8217;t know why you&#8217;re giving them a finger.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyway, almost 20 minutes had passed and I am still on first damn light. I am the first car at the light now, but that doesn&#8217;t matter anymore, since there are 10 more traffic lights to go. My only though right now is ripping out the wires from the traffic light pole and strangling the engineer who designed the lights with them.<br />
2 hours later I am home and my wife sees that: don&#8217;t ask me anything or you&#8217;re heading for court and I am heading for jail look on my face.<br />
And they say Extra-marital affairs are the highest cause for divorce. I think not.</p>
