Err...we don't have the highest standard of living, that would be Norway...a decidedly non-imperialist country, even when most of Europe was imperialist...
Why does he mention Hillary Clinton at the end? Isn't that an endoesement of a candidate? Or perhaps, does he know that it's already stitched up and Hillary is the chosen one?
Oh and by the way, mister man: Maher called Cheney and Bush traitors because THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE. Deal with it, 'cause the truth ain't gonna go away just because it makes you twitchy.
well of course he handled the cuban missle crisis like a leader he fucking saved the world i was questioning whether that was what the other guy thought i mean he established the peace corps
wait so your saying just because he screwed marilyn monroe all his accomplishments are discredited? and please dont think im insulting im actually wondering if thats wat you said im kinda confused haha
@101LegendKiller Thats the awsome thing about this country you have the right to think that. Just as much as the christians have the right to believe that there is a single being that sees all and knows all. You realize there are alot of places that would cut your head off for saying such a thing.
No, standard of living is an objective barometer of living standards, education, infrastructure, healthcare, infant mortality, water and air quality, etc. All of which Scandinavia beats the US in. It doesn't matter if anyone "feels" great living in a poor country, good for them, it doesn't stop their country from being poor though. Also, the vikings were raiders and didn't ever control the territory they attacked. Also I talked about the imperial age of europe which norway wasn't part of.
Ummm... I don't see how you can call this "just one long Bush bash" when Mr Maher refers to real events in illustrating his opinion. I mean, you post this video of a man making a vulgar, yet strong arguement, and then say "well, he's stupid", without offering to refute his statements or giving any of you own. Tell us why his opinion is so ridiculous. Oh, but thanks for posting this video. It was big of you to keep his words in context and let us see the whole thing.
@LetFreedomRing1776 Swell job at listing arguments for your points. Maher's round-up is a good argument for calling Bush and Cheney traitors, so without any sort of ''refudiation'' except ''he uses words that I'm uncomfortable with'', you're just making yourself look like a bigot.
No, it's subjective. Culture determines who receives resources w/in the environment. Case in point, a darker skinned Scandinavian doesn't receive the same benefits as a lighter skinned Scandinavian. The pedagogy of education/institutions/the public/water&air quality is based on maintaining the survival of the culture. You're giving a subjective opinion on what you feel high standards are, & in turn, you're judging other cultures as being "poor." What does that mean? Vikings weren't conquerors?
Norway or Sweden can be considered as having the highest standard of living. Is this a ethnocentric biased view of living conditions? Is this standard only based on what the people living there feel, e.g. someone living in Indonesia may display exuberance based on transcendence similar to an evangelical in Texas, who is to judge their standard of living? Another statement I would like to ask according to your so called moral purity: the original (imperialist) vikings settled in Norway? fail
Really? Love. That's the first thing. Second is your repentance to our Loving Father Jesus Christ. You wish to tell me death is the first thing in Christianity? Well it sorta is! You must "die" your old self and be Born Again! Fresh anew, in the spirit of Christ. Amen.
True, Bush was a figure head for the "Cheney/Rove" administration.
Technically, but I think life in prison is much worse than the death penalty.
The Mob does go after your family.
Yeah I was thinking “dude you’ve seen The Godfather more than me!!”
Standard of living is an actual, quantitative, measure. It is NOT subjective.
As soon as I see or hear the word "sheeple" I disregard the user. It's a meaningless catchphrase.
In all fairness... Rove was behind the Plame outing.. not Bush.
Bill's finest moment.
....bush pretending to be a cowboy.....ha,ha,ha!!!! priceless!!!
Go Maher!!!! This is why Real Time is one of the best shows on TV.
@hatecrewsj If you did less insults and more arguments I may even agree with you. I`m waiting for your explanation.
yep yep , but the public loves being lied to while being screwed
Awesome Bill Maher Rant :-)
We do we have to hate so much? Could we just... Stop arguing and have a real debate at the place?
He handled the Cuban missile crisis like a LEADER. You did notice we came out on top of that one right?
Err...we don't have the highest standard of living, that would be Norway...a decidedly non-imperialist country, even when most of Europe was imperialist...
Hahaha How can Maher say "Clinton", "Honor" and "Integrity" all in the same sentence with a straight face? LOL
Not only did JFK get Monroe, so did his brother. I say this with ALL respect. JFK was not only a great president, he could pull the women.
Go Bill!!! This same goes to Bush and Trump and their fuck ups!!!!
Why does he mention Hillary Clinton at the end? Isn't that an endoesement of a candidate?
Or perhaps, does he know that it's already stitched up and Hillary is the chosen one?
The poster of this vid is using some illusive way to get a point across. Maher is not hitting an all time low, but makes a few important remarks...
Keep dreamin the "American Dream".

Your description is funny. Instead of just talking bashing the guy why don`t you explain what was wrong about what he said?
The actual generally accepted measure for standard of living is average real gross domestic product per capita, or GDP. Economics 101 much?
wait so your saying just because he screwed marilyn monroe all his accomplishments are discredited? and please dont think im insulting im actually wondering if thats wat you said im kinda confused haha

I wonder what you say about our current president...or what you were saying about him during the campaign.
Hypocrisy is an ugly mistress

@101LegendKiller - Hell yeah
You might have worded your post a bit more clearly. You know, punctuation and stuff.

@101LegendKiller And it's bad for you. ( Carlin )

Vikings weren't conquerors?
And you call yourself a Christian?
Norway or Sweden can be considered as having the highest standard of living.
Is this a ethnocentric biased view of living conditions?
