  • This conversation took place on the year of my birth! :3

  • It's so strange . . . Peter's face and voice are weak, blurry, out of focus versions of Christopher's. What a life, to be Hitch's half-baked brother. I could feel sorry for him.

  • hitchens always fighting in the kurds' corner

  • great videos i like the way you explain some of the more ambiguous issues in the description. keep up the good work!

  • 8:33 Christopher is refering to ppl who probably include his brother Peter. We now know (from his memoirs) that Christopher had gay experiences at school and university.

    Are we really to believe that Peter (with similar nature and nurture) derives his dodgy views on homosexuality from the Christian religion, or do they reflect something a little closer to home?

  • @BYL3RxTIND3R u mad bro?

  • @BYL3RxTIND3R Did you go to school?

  • @BYL3RxTIND3R $50 says you're a pissed off kid who would never dare to repeat any of that to anyone within arm's reach.

  • The Hitchenses have amazing voices! Lucky bros, pleasure to listen to.

  • @jamesball1

    Not sure if you know yet, but tragically the oesophageal cancer just robbed Hitch of his voice. Naturally the nastier Christians have made a point of gleefully reading too much into that with respect to Hitchens' talents as a rhetorician.

  • @PurushaDesa I have heard it's such a damn shame, Hitch is such a powerful debater, I'm just glad there's so much footage of his oratorical skills on youtube.

  • The homosexuality issue is fairly easy to grasp if you grasp one concept: that consenting adults can get up to whatever the fuck they want to. That's right: consenting adults. Men who agree to have sex with each other with full knowledge of the consequences, men and women who do the same, women and women, several groups of them and any manner of implements. This doesn't cover prison rape, this doesn't cover necrophilia, it doesn't cover bestiality, nor pederasty. No slippery slope for you.

  • @gamerunknown ofc theres a slippery slope, you just dodged it from mere assertion. WHY is consent required? Is sex inherently damaging to children or animals that partake in it with humans? Whether you like it or not the actual truth of the matter is no, it not always is. The matter of consent is something we in fact ignore in most instances with animals and children, so why [arbitrarily] worry about it now? It's root is Christianity, and its coherent limited to that world view.

  • @DazedSpy2

    The issue of consent is raised in issues where there is a high potential for exploitation of children. We seek the consent of a parent or guardian for even trivial things such as conducting research on children that is already cleared by an ethics board, because children have a diminished capacity for decision making (theory of mind, prefrontal cortex development for planning for the future). Sex carries a high potential for exploitation and parents may be complicit.

  • @DazedSpy2

    Also, the slippery slope fallacy is thus called because it's a fallacy. Personally I have no problem with bestiality in a country that consumes meat. If one holds the principle that animals can be used for the pleasure of humans without any concern for their capacity to feel pain, that should guide all legislation. But it'd be equivocation / a straw man to conflate homosexuality and bestiality. Roosa et al. 1999 found sexual abuse of children caused depression.

  • Christopher is a charming, brilliant bastard... he's awesome.

  • peter hitchens is an arsehole, how can he be christopher's brother? OMG, we haven't had THAT discussion?? Arrogant arsehole!!! There is no discussion to have and we had too many already. Homosexuality is NORMAL. Period. Leave us alone!!!

  • child sexuality is iullegal because their children and no nothing about sex or llife and are pure and cannot fink for themselves. gays are that are protected by law are older men and women who are grownenough to make decisions. also child sex is disguisting no matter what teh arguemnts is and if so then peter u cunt why havent you said anything about the catholic church and their sex scandals

  • Wow he has a brother??!!

  • @yourass117 He's pretty much the opposite of Christopher in his views: socially conservative, Christian (Anglican), broadly pro-capitalism, patriotic and Unionist, anti-EU, isolationist. However, he is, like Christopher, a former Trotskyist, and they do both reject any compulsion to be politically correct and to mince their words! Peter has a 'blog in 'The Mail on Sunday' and on 'Mail Online'.

  • @yourass117 Yes. A fucking asshole that's the polar opposite of him.

  • hahaha......christopher kicks ass on the homosexuality issue......

  • Thanks a ton for the upload

  • Americans are insecure about their own patriotism

  • Is there a part 10 or is this it?

  • @Ellesime89 It might have continued for a couple of minutes longer, but this is all I have
