Noam Chomsky on U.S. Foreign Policy (1/8) (1995)

[UtopiaMinor666]

I adore both chomsky and hitchens, Chomsky for his sincerity, his erudition when it comes to dates,times, in history. Hitchens for his charm, his intrepid ability to defend his views and what he believes is right (even when he's wrong) and how fiercly he does this, together, im trying to apply this to my life, to gather a higher synthesis in knowledge. I love these guys

God, what a moron, we should all be glad this idiot isnt in charge, we would all be speaking russian!

[chinopisces]

@jarogehotmail: You have no idea what you're talking about.

[SirPwn4lot]

@jarogehotmail Obvious troll is blatantly obvious.

[greggcaff]

no , you can not put them all together, churchill and stalin, please he is a joke if he cannot understand the differnce, I thought he knew what he was talking about.

@justicelevi Keep Santa Claus out of it. It defeats Chomsky's cause to drag falsehood into the mix.

[KarlXHungus]

@justicelevi

god wont bless chomsky because chomsky is an atheist.

[Perussaataja]

@KarlXHungus he is agnostic, not atheist.

[Antikryst]

@Perussaataja Those aren't exclusive.

[Perussaataja]

@Antikryst true, but you can read more about chomsky´s views on religion in Science and Theology interview, assuming it is still available on net.

[Antikryst]

@Perussaataja Thanks, didn't know that one.

[flyingmonkeyskin]

@Perussaataja agnosticism and atheism aren't mutually exclusive.

[Perussaataja]

@flyingmonkeyskin i know, but in the interview of Science and theology Chomsky said he isnt actually atheist, cos he doesnt know what "god" actually stands for, so he doesnt know what he would a) believe in b) would be denying as an atheist.

[Perussaataja]

@flyingmonkeyskin " I never felt marginalized because of my lack of religious beliefs. On the other hand, if you ask me whether or not I'm an atheist, I wouldn't even answer. I would first want an explanation of what it is that I'm supposed to not believe in, and I've never seen an explanation. "

[000000AEA000000]

@Perussaataja Chomsky has another quote, where he says that he did never answer questions about wether he has personal believes, or not, because people ask the wrong questions.

I am also an Agnostic.

I do not KNOW if god exists, and therefore the question has a very limited importance in my life. Being an "Atheist" on the other hand IS something different. Atheism is the denying of god, because Atheists see the existance of god as impossible. Two total DIFFERENT pair of shoes.

[Perussaataja]

@000000AEA000000 thanks for that quote, i had not read that before!

[lexsite]

@KarlXHungus So, god is just like us? Petty and vindictive. Fuck that little cunt I say :)

[KarlXHungus]

@lexsite

Of course god is just like us, we made him in our image.

[dopeskies]

Chomsky Great as always

[mendali]

more 90's Chomsky! Thanks!

[punxsutawneybarney]

Chomsky recently said the USA had no evidence to support its invasion of Afghanistan, which was totally illegal and criminal. See my video "Chomsky on Faith-Based Wars and 9/11"

[Freethinker12341]

@punxsutawneybarney are you insane?.,,,"illegal and criminal??" you must be joking. how bout attempting to marginalize somebody else's free speech. shouldn't that be illegal?

[punxsutawneybarney]

@Freethinker12341 Dr. Chomsky said the invasion was illegal and criminal. I didn't mean that Chomsky was criminal and illegal. Dr. Chomsky recently clarified his comments, saying that he thought Osama was murdered because the USA could not convict him, though he personally thought that Osama did 9/11.

That was 1995? So now, 15 years later, it becomes more actual than ever! :-D
