    If Carlin had to be as specific as you’d like that quote to be then it wouldn’t be much of a joke.

    It’s not hard to understand what he was saying.

      I actually don’t understand what Carlin is saying, then. “The wars I don’t like are bad”?

      An overbroad and often false generalization is not a good joke. So yes, it isn’t much of a joke.
