Whatever. You feel like a little fight today Eulogy?

You go ahead and defend Christopher Hitchens' intellectual output and I'll just sit here and LOL at you. Honestly, go right ahead. Be my guest.

And...good luck LOL.

Oh I thought this was where obnoxious shits gathered....I followed the sound of other obnoxious shits like you wasting their lives arguing about stupid crap and figured I would fit right in.

Why don't you mellow out a little.

All those Catholic Africans rotting away of AIDS are proof for that.

Hitchens was a genius. One of the few public figures that I could disagree with and still respect. Mainly due to the fact that he thoroughly presented his points of view, and he offered fact based arguments to support them.

in the end, his chain smoking did him in. But he didn't turn into a whinning turd, like so many public figures do when they become ill. He kept on working and writing and expressing himself just as he did prior to becoming ill.

" I have one consistency, which is [being] against the totalitarian - on the left and on the right. The totalitarian, to me, is the enemy - the one that's absolute, the one that wants control over the inside of your head, not just your actions and your taxes. And the origins of that are theocratic, obviously. The beginning of that is the idea that there is a supreme leader, or infallible pope, or a chief rabbi, or whatever, who can ventriloquise the divine and tell us what to do." - Christopher Hitchens (october 2011)

I agree with Scotty. Awful, awful news. The way Hitchens never took shit from anyone has been truly inspirational. There were things he said I can't agree with, but his debates on religion were always a real treat. R.I.P.

great book!

just about everything he's written is a good read.


If you like Hitchens I'd also suggest reading Dawkins's "The God Delusion" which is less socio-political than Hitchens and comes from more of a biological perspective. Richard Dawkins shares Hitchen's sharp tongue and whit.

Hitchens was a great writer with that surly prose and he would speak that proper english that made americans feel guilty about the way we speak it.
