Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to the forum, and a big fan of Bill Maher, and the late George Carlin. Just wish the U.S. could grow a brain like northern Europe and see where it takes us!

Hello and welcome to HAF, chadsaleen21. While I agree that George Carlin was a fine comedian and great social commentator, I'm not a huge fan of Maher. I like some of his stuff, and often agree with his stance on issues, but his perpetual smirk puts me off my feed. There's a certain smugness in his delivery that sometimes just gets to be too much. Just sayin'.

well yeah he's not for everyone. I just like his views on a lot of things. Watch his videos on youtube, he has a good stance and perspective when being interviewed by religious people in the media. I like how he's not afraid to say what he believes in. We need more mainstream people like him.

Welcome! I like the both of them too - but I don't really look to either of them with any seriousness. They're just funny! I hope you like it here.
