PostFri May 25, 2007 12:39 am    George Carlin's Solution to Save Gasoline

Quote:
Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use. The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! There would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down, bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq. Tell him if he wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military. Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it. After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot. This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves. If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo.
Problem solved.

George Carlin is weird... I don't know how I should react to this one. Usually, I say "LOL" to what he says.

Thank goodness this idiot is only a comedian and can't influence any policies in the U.S.

George Carlin is awesome! I've loved his comedy for so long. When I read this, I just cracked up, .

Thank you, Mr. Conductor,

This actually stumped me until I read that it was a joke. Sad thing is it would probably work.

I don't talk or deal in discussions like this very much so if my response seems out of place or questionable that is why.

If we did that we'd definitely lose in Iraq.

However, I do like the idea of illegal immigrants serving in the military to become US citizens.

I say do it!! Totally!
This would also cut down on illegal immigrants going to abuse the USA's health care system!!! See how? They go to Iraq with a medical issue... and it is solved... especially if they are sent without a canteen and a rifle!
Okay...so this probably doesn't seem funny to some... I find it really funny...but that's me.

Well, it certainly would take care of all of the housing, having to take the *beep* jobs, etc... [sic]

However, I should point out that certain cities may find themselves suddenly a hell of alot less populated.
I think California((Which currently boasts a population equivelant to canada)), would probably go down to somewhere around...umm... I don't know if you guys know canadian geography that well... Boston Bar in British Columbia Canada.
You'd have to go to Boston Bar to get the joke... but when you saw it... you'd get it immediately.

I have to wonder if this was meant to be taken seriously, he's known for saying extreame things, simply for attention.

True. I am actually formulating this brilliant alternative.
You take a car, and convert it's engine to drive on alcohol. It really doesn't matter what KIND of alcohol.
I'm thinking this is a brilliant alternative because it gives AMERICAN BEER a purpose, as it appears to be lacking one.
