(3/8) PEN World Voices Festival: Christopher Hitchens and Salman Rushdie.

[TweekDash]

The background noise hypnotised me.

Freedom of speech is supposed to protect the expression of ideas and opinions, not death threats, not incitement to violence. The use of threats and violence to limit others' freedom of speech is terrorism, and should be treated as such.

Hitchens rarely laughs. he NEVER laughs at the jokes he tells. That shows a lot about his character. It is nice to hear him laugh a little :D

[OperationCrossroad]

The 72 virgins story is a mistranslation of the original Qur'anic text.

What the original Islamic sacred text actually promises as a reward is "one 72 year-old virgin".

[reinforcedpenisstem]

72 Virginians.

[basehead617]

two great men

[lexaling]

@Cynicleese Perhaps its imagery and symbolism were lost on you.

[kevrs2]

and of course barrack Obama has yet to produce ,his FULL ,birth certificate

[yourmomdidsayyourean]

@kevrs2 post yours for us on line because I don't think you're an American and as a non american I don't think you have the right to ask to see another Americans BC.

[kevrs2]

@your mom did sayyourean its makes no difference if i am american or not ,im not the one strutting about accepting the title to be the leader of the free world

[yourmomdidsayyourean]

@kevrs2 you're the one asking for it...so where's yours?

[kevrs2]

@yourmomdidsayyourean i aint the president of the united states ,i dont have to answer to the people , he DOES DOPEY ,hes the one making the claim ,i say back it up with evidence ,show the full length birth cert ,whats he got to hide:)

[gcarter214]

@kevrs2

Somehow Obama was able to make it into the Senate and the White House, and no one along the way thought to do a background check.

You should do some research. The Birthers have been proven wrong and the birther queen has been fined for wasting everyone's time.

You guys are an embarrassment to the country.

[kevrs2]

@gcarter214 oh really the "birthers" as you put it have been proven wrong ,well maybe you can point me to were he has posted a copy of his full birth cert

[yourmomdidsayyourean]

@kevrs2 the court case was thrown out of court and Oily Taint was fined for bringing a false case before the court Lets get to the point here. It is obvious your concern is not our Presidents birth status it's his color. It would be less pathetic of you just to come out and say that you don't like blacks. The Birther thing is so last year Like Sarah, and racism, you're a clown full of hate and all you have is your delusions. Your like a diaper full of shit no need to try to change you dismissed.

[kevrs2]

@yourmomdidsayyourean oh i see your a racist as well ,... how dare you ,say i discriminate ,on the bases of someones skin color , you dont know me ,you are clearly an uneducated fool,dont even bother replying to this you creep ,as it wont be read.

[yourmomdidsayyourean]

@kevrs2 Truth hurts.

[yourmomdidsayyourean]

@kevrs2 Where your posts on my page intended to make you less stupid and racist ? If so they had the opposite effect and in fact they are so silly I vow to keep them up forever and change my page so they are easier for people to read.

[kevrs2]

@yourmomdidsayyourean do what you want dickhead ,if you want i will put some more up asshole

[yourmomdidsayyourean]

@kevrs2 Sure I'm retired I have all day to laugh at your childish prattle. Post away, you're only digging a deeper hole for yourself and proving the point other posters have made directed at you. Post away Skippy it's a free country.

[tigeruby]

@kevrs2 lol. Idiot fool. Stop this nonsense immediately. In my opinion, people [sic] like you should be either neutered or have their fallopian tubes severed in order to prevent stupidity from tainting the already troublesome state of the human gene pool. You should also be barred from stem cell facilities lest someone attempts to reboot cells with your genetic material - the thought of which makes me shudder.

[kevrs2]

@tigeruby you sound like a fan of doctor goebbels

[RevNTheogen]

@kevrs2 Dr Mengele I think you may mean.

[F33bs]

@kevrs2 Can I see your birth certificate please? I don't really believe you are an American.

[kevrs2]

@F33bs what would you want to see my birth certificate for ,i aint running for president ,but if i was a would be quite happy for you to see it ,rather than spend millions trying to hide it

[TheRationalizer]

The turban with the bomb was crap.

[GermanStraight1]
