@northstar416 Hitchens fought the wrong battle. Tobacco companies kill more than 5 Million people per year worldwide with that figure being on target to exceed 8 Million per year in less than 20 years. Instead of being consumed with other peoples' religious beliefs, he completely ignored his own flaws including his own addictive behavior which ultimately contributed to his rather premature demise which significantly diminishes any credibility he had however marginal it was. Pathetic, really.
I don't know what Chris is talking about here. Smoking will not give you an appetite if you're not hungry. Smoking will not help you get to sleep when you're not tired. It's a powerful stimulant and has the complete opposite effects only.
@Ju87s Typical addictspeak in a vain attempt to apologize for his weaknesses and flawed behavior. In many instances, Hitchens was completely and utterly....Full of shit.
i dont go around telling you fat fucks sitting at your computer reading this comment to go get on a treadmill...so don't tell me to quit smoking. freedom of choice you nazis
@thecharliecollins Cuz one day when the doc comes back into the room and says that pneumonia you thought you had is lung cancer, you're gonna say, well shit.
@thecharliecollins Thank you for smoking. Because of willfully ignorant drug addicts like yourself and Hitchens, my shares of Phillip Morris are up over 100% in less than 5 years, plus I get the added satisfaction of fucktards such as you taking yourselves out of the gene pool about 20 years earlier on average. Hitchens proved Darwin's theory correct, and so will you.
I was about 19 when i quit smoking. I saw a movie about tobacco companies putting additional addictive chemicals in cigarettes. I already knew that. What i didn't know was the chemical is applied at random. So smokers never get a decent fix!
Cigarettes are addictive because pf the nicotine they contain. This isn't added by the companies, this is just present in tobacco plants.
The nicotine doesn't make cigarettes harmful either, what's harmful is the tar which cakes your lungs after smoking habitually for some time.
Congratulations for quitting early. My father smoked since he was 15 and has spent the last 2 years quitting and starting again every few months. He's now 49.
FEW PEOPLE COULD ARGUE about governments' greatness, any governmental body from Newfoundland to Swaziland to Somaliland. Grandeur in dereliction is inspiring. A back-rub after showering is invigorating, a nap after aborticide's a requisite, a shaven head transmits power, ear rings tell of conquest, tattoos make the world wonder.
"The commitment of government to deal with the population issue is of course essential... There are many ways to make the death rate increase." -- Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense, "New Solidarity," March 30, 1981
Good one - I called Hitchens a Goverment mouthpiece, which he is. I've read every single one of his articles for Slate + Vanity Fair + seen all his lectures and debates (I used to be quite the fan, before I realized what he was..) and probably all of his interviews; so I know what I'm talking about.
Would you like me to send you a list of all the lies Hitchens has told? I can think of almost 30 lies off the top of my head..
Look, you're obviously not honest enough to address the examples I've already given - my giving any more examples would be futile. There's no point in this correspondonce, I wish you well in all your future endeavours.
@BelfastAtheist Hitchens was a smarmy, ginsoaked, fat, selfish, nicotine addicted twat hypocrite and a phony hero to a veritable hoard of useful idiots and inexplicable bootlicking sycophants. I find nothing brilliant about someone who smokes themselves to death, and scoff at loud, intellectually lazy, in-your-face, militant, antitheist bullies who willfully contradict themselves whenever it suits their agenda. Hitchens was married TWICE! Once in a Greek Orthodox church and once in a synagogue!
He bullied whoever he got could get away with and *made a point* of interupting others whenever possible, he lets people speak for 2 seconds then cuts them off..
I pretty much agree with everything you've said, there's nothing really for me to add - Chris 'Hitch' died knowing which side his bread was buttered on, the Neocons pay very if you write deceitful books about their Wars and Members I understand.
Random example; he claims the Iraq Liberation Act was passed in 1999, not 2002 (Thus making it seem like it was Pre-Bush), he claims that Bush had to be *forced* into War and that has Administration (Even though they were condemned even by Foreign Affairs for being ''Crazed'' for War) weren't desperately striving for War from the get-go..
He implied that the murderers of Leon Klinghoffer was Islamists. He repeatedly lied about Saddam Hussein..
For example, he repeatedly claimed it was ''Saddam's absolute refusal to say whether or not he had WMD [That led to the War]'' - he said this AFTER Saddam had said (publically) that he had no WMD programme..
He also repeatedly tried to link Saddam to 9/11 (Following the Bush Administration's propaganda model) by using Red Herrings when asked if he believed in the mythical Saddam-Al-Qauda connection, i.e answering that ''Well... he sheltered Yassin'' - which is a blatant lie.
Yassin of course being the Man who mixed the Chemicals for the '91 WTC attack. Anyways.. I understand Hitchens fans aren't usually very 'Indepedant' to borrow a word and that they swallow everything their savior says; uncritically - However, Hitchens is a proven liar and State Propagandist..
I promised you 30 examples and I swear to Christ I've got 27 more, wanna bet on it?
@BelfastAtheist You forgot to mention Hitchens was also a Che Guevara admiring, two bit Trotskyist tool twat. I'm an independent thinking atheist that refused to carry on a slobbering love affair with this contemptible con artist. Good riddance Hitchens, you weak little man.
@432ps1 Che had many admirable qualities and I believe that most people that understood what he stood for would also agree...considering it involves things like freedom and liberty. This is also what Hitchens admired and Che. I have never seen or read anything where Hitchens admired the brutal killings and reprehensible tactics used by Che, but he did admire the original thoughts on the purposes of revolution, freedom, and government that Che had.
@DanceDiggy Freedom and Liberty? And Che Guevara? Within the same sentence? You've got to be joking. Che Guevara was nothing more than a useful idiot, handpicked by Castro. Making such a preposterous, non-sensical and blatantly absurd statement like the one you made, would not make you popular among the Cuban exile population in South Florida or anywhere else, I can assure you.
@432ps1 So i take it you have never read any of Che's writings? He came up with the toold Castro later abused to grow his power. Read about Che's idea of the "new man" and you will open your eyes to what he stood for. That being said, I in no way agree with the tactics he used to fight the Cuban revolution and eventually help Castro's regime take control of Cuba. But if you think that Che agreed with what Castro did to Cuba look up where and how Che died...
@DanceDiggy Perhaps Every Cuban I know is more concerned with Cuba's future, rather than it's past...And they can't wait for it to arrive. I know exactly what Che stood for, and fortunately so did Barrientos. Che got precisely what he deserved, and so will the Castros. Hasta Cuando, Fidel? Hasta Cuando?
@DanceDiggy “El odio como factor de lucha, el odio intransigente al enemigo, que impulsa más allá de las limitaciones naturales del ser humano y lo convierte en una eficaz, violenta, selectiva y fría máquina de matar. Nuestros soldados tienen que ser así: un pueblo sin odio no puede triunfar sobre un enemigo brutal.”
@DanceDiggy LOL. You're clearly an amateur armchair Latin American historian. Your lack of knowledge and experience with the region, language, politics, culture, and its people is laughable. Go watch your Benicio Del Toro movies.
@432ps1 Quotes from Che showing how he fought a war does little to change his stance on politics. Many people that are considered "great" have had the same stances on war. Brutality in war is necessary and even Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeus Corpus (essentially the same as sending a man to the firing squad with no judicial proof). Che fought war in a terrible way because he believed Cuba would be better after. I still dont agree with his methods but his reasoning is not uncommon.
@432ps1 When all else fails and I am losing a debate I usually go there too. Hopefully you will at least consider some of what I said. And I still agree the steps he took were sometimes a bit much and other times completely terrible. But his political theory is interesting to say the least. Cheers.
@DanceDiggy You don't have to convince me of anything. It is the Cuban people including the exile population in the US that will ultimately decide the future of their country and reveal the truth about the past. Judgement day for Fidel cometh, and instead of being resolved, Fidel Castro and his thugs will be fully exposed for what they truly are: Brutal assassins and thugs that have perpetrated some of the most heinous and cruel crimes against humanity in modern history.

I forgot to mention a lot, there's 1 Million reasons to deplore this man..
Not least of which the fact that he used to run around U.S News Network claiming ''Bush offers the Palestinians a better choice'' - I mean, what a fucking cunt; this is WHILE Bush was screwing them. He also claims to have ''Met Kurds'' who drive around with a picture of George Bush on their dashboard.. apparently not bothered by the fact his father authorized Saddam to slaughter them after the Gulf War..
@BelfastAtheist The guy was just so full of shit on so many levels as are the members of his pathetic little cult. Not surprising that he had to come to the US to become famous. He was a total phony who peddled his yellow journalist slob garbage to the gullible and the willfully ignorant, not unlike L.Ron Hubbard or P.T. Barnum, except with Barnum, you at least got a bag of fucking peanuts. What a wormy little cunt.
I wish it weren't so blatant though.. like, a solid Decade of as you say 'Yellow Journalism' on Iraq in his articles in VF/Slate. I can't ''Perish the notion'' as I'm sure he would have grandiloquently put it, that his entire body of work on Religion was just a smokescreen for the Anti-Muslim stuff now..
You're indeed right, spot on with the analogy w/ Barnum. 'Hitch' is basically a more subtle Tom Friedman. Anyways, hopefully he didn't do too much damage while he was alive.
@BelfastAtheist Agreed. Being an Atheist does not grant one license to be a bigot. Hey, I don't believe in gods either, but I don't need some gin soaked, fat posh twat like Hitchens to tell me that with his hateful little pamphlets and sanctimonious sermons. Kejserens nye Klæder, as they say in Denmark.
Of course, Hitchens has decided (In retrospect) that he was wrong not to support that dirty little War! Seriously.. what a cunt.
I imagine it's very helpful for Goverment to have another ''Radical who saw the light'' to come on Fox News (Same w/ Sam Harris) and peddle Anti-Muslim hysteria and denounce Islamophobia as ''Not existing'' - again, deplorable cunt..
He was too smart to ever mention the fact he was a ''Friend'' to the Palestinians on Fox News, of course. Cunt..
I've kicked both heroin and cigarettes.... They are both addicting. The thing hard about kicking cigarettes is how much it's thrown in your face on a daily basis, other than that a cakewalk compared to heroin..... Heroin was a week long suck fest. Shitting nonstop while puking in the tub next to me, no sleep, severe aches/chills/sweats, RLS, bone aches.... The only thing that makes kicking heroin easier than nicotine is I can't walk to the corner store to buy a fix. Thankfully!
@sicsempertyrannis7 Well done to you man! I gave up smoking to, never found it that hard, but i never got pleasure from it, it was just something to do between classes.
@tnekkc I think Hitchens lies in the middle of an intellectual giant and a pompous idiot. His pompousness was an act. He wasn't an idiot. But he also wasn't a mind-shattering genius either. He was more of an intellectual character that people will read and watch mostly for substantive entertainment.
@983215ljhlkadbspig6y One could argue Albert Einstein wasn't a mind-shattering genius either. Much less if you compare him to Isaac Newton - who was a nutjob, by the way, which attests his genius.
But you are right: his educated, witty views and his eloquence were, and still are, thoroughly entertaining. I'm curious as to who you consider an "intellectual giant", though.
And Hitchens wasn't pompous; he was british. I do grant it is sometimes hard to tell the difference...
@983215ljhlkadbspig6y yeah but the way he spoke and wrote was very thoughtful and lucid, and his opinions extremely well-informed. His style is well worth emulating and will definitely have the effect of defragging the collective understanding of political and religious subterfuge among people who read him in generations to come.
Sadly, he gave up smoking and not too long after was diagnosed with cancer. Not uncommon for that to happen. How he must have wished, as he lay in agony in that hospital bed in Houston, that he'd never started smoking.
@4165mc He lived as long as most people...in fact he lived longer than most men worldwide will live, he was rich, ate good food and enjoyed what the world had to offer.
The World Health Organization says the average life expectency worldwide is 67.2 years old. Hitchens reached 62. So, no, he didn't live "as long as most people." Stop making shit up.
@dookdawg214 It's actually 65 for males, but it would seem three years (and smokers live an average of four years less - so he was one ahead in relative terms to that) "making shit up". I seem you also ignored the quality of life he enjoyed, which was far higher than most people regardless of age.
I didn't ignore anything about his quality of life. I simply pointed out that you made a false claim about average life expectency worldwide. By the way, I was careful to debunk you correctly. You said he "lived as long as most people". You didn't say "most men". This is why I pointed out the total combined age. But as you point out, even if you were talking about men, you're still wrong. And a fairer comparison would be men from western countries, who live longer.
If something is your worst enemy doesn't that make it your best friend? Whenever someone says "worst enemy" it technically means worst at being your enemy therefore best at being your friend lol.
@HybridD91 No I'm not really serious lol. I'm just making fun of the English language. Two negatives make a positive. Think about it. Your best enemy would be, out of all your enemies, the best at being an enemy. Therefore wouldn't your worst enemy be the opposite of that because best and worst are antonyms. I'm just being silly, it doesn't mean I disagree with Hitchens or anything.
Pederasts are men who conquer boys. The perversion is pederasty. Pederasts engage in homosexuality. Homosexuality: sexual acts among males, or among females.
Lol, i only smoke when i'm drinking. I find it's a good way to take break between cocktails. Haha, i get all my vices done in one sitting. Honestly, i only like the taste when my mouth's been denatured by tequila and the appeal is more a visual one, an association with black and white noire films and blonde starlets.
@AroundSun To be fair, they're legal. You can hold a job (do a better job!) with nicotine in your bloodstream. I'd like to see if a 3 packs a day homeless dude goes into the whoring business to sustain the habit.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
In all books, magazines and material he read that shape Chris ideology , would he be willing to read just one more page, page 37 from book " To hell and back" by Dr. Maurice Rawlings, It would mean great deal to me.
He is right though, psychologically its as hard as shit to give up. Then the second you do give up, you switch on the TV to take your mind of it and the first thing you see is someone lighting up.
@123backinyerface It is hard. I was a powerhouse smoker for 19 years. And I'm 34 so that tells you how young I was when I started. It becomes part of everything throughout your day. You associate it with everything you do, or you fit it in around everything. When I quit, I felt horrible for a month. My lungs hurt (normal) & I had trouble sleeping. But as time goes on, your lung function improves dramatically. Just the feeling of victory over the addiction is enough to keep me quit. CHANTIX Works
@metalmilitia1977 - Well done, 53 here and been going since I was 16 - managed to raise my 2 boys as none smokers which im pleased about, also happy with the the smoking ban in public places as my boys will be less likely to take it up. As for me? perhaps one day when I get to Hitch's age, dunno, but for now I wouldn't even consider it, but well done you metal.
@GoodbarUK Thank you! You know what, I loved to smoke. I loved it more than the actual nicotine addiction. But you know what, you should try chantix. It's the strangest shit. You can still smoke your first 7 days of it. The 8th day is your quit day. I only made it to day 6. I quit early. It literally makes you not want one. Your lungs will hurt the first 2 to 4 weeks while your body gets rid of the phlegm, but after that its amazing how great you feel. I haven't breathed this easy in decades
@metalmilitia1977 Sounds like we did the same and I feel I must agree with you wholeheartedly. It seems to be a very effective treatment and most definitely worth a trial for anyone interested in quitting in a relatively straight forward way. Despite the lengthy love affair, the smokes aren't really missed that much. In the UK it goes by the trademark Champix, I assume it's the same stuff.

@432ps1 When all else fails and I am losing a debate I usually go there too. Hopefully you will at least consider some of what I said. And I still agree the steps he took were sometimes a bit much and other times completely terrible. But his political theory is interesting to say the least. Cheers.

@DanceDiggy You don't have to convince me of anything. It is the Cuban people including the exile population in the US that will ultimately decide the future of their country and reveal the truth about the past. Judgement day for Fidel cometh, and instead of being resolved, Fidel Castro and his thugs will be fully exposed for what they truly are: Brutal assassins and thugs that have perpetrated some of the most heinous and cruel crimes against humanity in modern history.

I forgot to mention a lot, there's 1 Million reasons to deplore this man..
Not least of which the fact that he used to run around U.S News Network claiming ''Bush offers the Palestinians a better choice'' - I mean, what a fucking cunt; this is WHILE Bush was screwing them. He also claims to have ''Met Kurds'' who drive around with a picture of George Bush on their dashboard.. apparently not bothered by the fact his father authorized Saddam to slaughter them after the Gulf War..

@BelfastAtheist The guy was just so full of shit on so many levels as are the members of his pathetic little cult. Not surprising that he had to come to the US to become famous. He was a total phony who peddled his yellow journalist slob garbage to the gullible and the willfully ignorant, not unlike L.Ron Hubbard or P.T. Barnum, except with Barnum, you at least got a bag of fucking peanuts. What a wormy little cunt.

I wish it weren't so blatant though.. like, a solid Decade of as you say 'Yellow Journalism' on Iraq in his articles in VF/Slate. I can't ''Perish the notion'' as I'm sure he would have grandiloquently put it, that his entire body of work on Religion was just a smokescreen for the Anti-Muslim stuff now..
You're indeed right, spot on with the analogy w/ Barnum. 'Hitch' is basically a more subtle Tom Friedman. Anyways, hopefully he didn't do too much damage while he was alive.

@BelfastAtheist Agreed. Being an Atheist does not grant one license to be a bigot. Hey, I don't believe in gods either, but I don't need some gin soaked, fat posh twat like Hitchens to tell me that with his hateful little pamphlets and sanctimonious sermons.

Of course, Hitchens has decided (In retrospect) that he was wrong not to support that dirty little War! Seriously.. what a cunt.
I imagine it's very helpful for Goverment to have another ''Radical who saw the light'' to come on Fox News (Same w/ Sam Harris) and peddle Anti-Muslim hysteria and denounce Islamophobia as ''Not existing'' - again, deplorable cunt..
He was too smart to ever mention the fact he was a ''Friend'' to the Palestinians on Fox News, of course. Cunt..

I've kicked both heroin and cigarettes.... They are both addicting. The thing hard about kicking cigarettes is how much it's thrown in your face on a daily basis, other than that a cakewalk compared to heroin..... Heroin was a week long suck fest. Shitting nonstop while puking in the tub next to me, no sleep, severe aches/chills/sweats, RLS, bone aches.... The only thing that makes kicking heroin easier than nicotine is I can't walk to the corner store to buy a fix. Thankfully!

@tnekkc I think Hitchens lies in the middle of an intellectual giant and a pompous idiot. His pompousness was an act. He wasn't an idiot. But he also wasn't a mind-shattering genius either. He was more of an intellectual character that people will read and watch mostly for substantive entertainment.

@983215ljhlkadbspig6y One could argue Albert Einstein wasn't a mind-shattering genius either. Much less if you compare him to Isaac Newton - who was a nutjob, by the way, which attests his genius.
But you are right: his educated, witty views and his eloquence were, and still are, thoroughly entertaining. I'm curious as to who you consider an "intellectual giant", though.
And Hitchens wasn't pompous; he was british. I do grant it is sometimes hard to tell the difference...

@983215ljhlkadbspig6y yeah but the way he spoke and wrote was very thoughtful and lucid, and his opinions extremely well-informed.

The World Health Organization says the average life expectency worldwide is 67.2 years old. Hitchens reached 62. So, no, he didn't live "as long as most people." Stop making shit up.
dookdawg214 2 months ago
@dookdawg214 It's actually 65 for males, but it would seem three years (and smokers live an average of four years less - so he was one ahead in relative terms to that) "making shit up". I seem you also ignored the quality of life he enjoyed, which was far higher than most people regardless of age.
Hereticalable 2 months ago
@Hereticalable
I didn't ignore anything about his quality of life. I simply pointed out that you made a false claim about average life expectency worldwide. By the way, I was careful to debunk you correctly. You said he "lived as long as most people". You didn't say "most men". This is why I pointed out the total combined age. But as you point out, even if you were talking about men, you're still wrong. And a fairer comparison would be men from western countries, who live longer.

Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

@123backinyerface It is hard. I was a powerhouse smoker for 19 years. And I'm 34 so that tells you how young I was when I started. It becomes part of everything throughout your day. You associate it with everything you do, or you fit it in around everything. When I quit, I felt horrible for a month. My lungs hurt (normal) & I had trouble sleeping. But as time goes on, your lung function improves dramatically. Just the feeling of victory over the addiction is enough to keep me quit. CHANTIX Works

@GoodbarUK Thank you! You know what, I loved to smoke. I loved it more than the actual nicotine addiction. But you know what, you should try chantix. It's the strangest shit. You can still smoke your first 7 days of it. The 8th day is your quit day. I only made it to day 6. I quit early. It literally makes you not want one. Your lungs will hurt the first 2 to 4 weeks while your body gets rid of the phlegm, but after that its amazing how great you feel. I haven't breathed this easy in decades

@metalmilitia1977 Sounds like we did the same and I feel I must agree with you wholeheartedly. It seems to be a very effective treatment and most definitely worth a trial for anyone interested in quitting in a relatively straight forward way. Despite the lengthy love affair, the smokes aren't really missed that much. In the UK it goes by the trademark Champix, I assume it's the same stuff.
