If ever there was someone who up and died when he was needed most, it was Hitch.

240p my old enemy. We meet again.

Even when this man is drunk, he still makes more sense than those to whom he is speaking. I miss him.

"I'm ready to do it until I draw my last breath." And so he did. I'm so sorry I only discovered Hitchens after he'd gone.

Freedom of speech must include the right to offend.

I really miss this great man. We really need him in today's world.

"A society with contempt for free speech will surely be silenced."—Benjaham Linklon

Yes, I know that you're offended, but I'm still waiting to hear your argument.

"Because my dog doesn't understand and fears the vacuum, it is my responsibility to not vacuum".

Where is Christopher Hitchens when we need him most.. he left too early.

The long consistency of Hitchens's position on totalitarianisms of every hue is wholly admirable, and his intellectual courage a beacon. Unlike most of his critics, his thinking was tested and evolved in light of friendships and experiences in many parts of the world, and hard won to a rare degree. He met the mothers of the "disappeared" in Latin America, and bore witness to the mass graves of Iraq. He challenged us to think for ourselves, and to ignore the easy dogmas left of right.

The title of this "debate" should be "I basically agree with Christopher".

It is impossible to exercise complete freedom of speech without offending anyone! Quite simply because everybody'experiences life in a subjective way! Some feelings are meant to be hurt for the greater good/bad
of humanity.

CH - "You can see why he's a diplomat and I'm not!"
SUPERB.  50:00 - 52:00 more or less...

Oh how I miss Hitch ❤😢 how much poorer the world is without his voice 💔

wow, shashi lost the debate from his first example.

17:22.... Hell yeah Christopher. I am applauding so loudly, I agree full heartedly 100% excellent assessment my man, well said! (I miss you so much 😞 rest in peace my friend...)

I personally prefer Hitch in these forums rather than strict debates. A bit more of his genuine wit shines through in the course of banter.

Hitchens is dearly missed.
