26:50 Christopher says that learning of his Jewish background might have been easier on him than his brother, Peter, whom, along with his wife, were Christian. He said it was a bit more "turning over the luggage in their hold" for them. What does this idiom mean? I understand the term 'hold luggage', which stands for the luggage on an airplane that a person must part with and is held at in bottom of the aircraft, but I still don't understand this saying. Thanks.
@smuldia Yeah i said it's not acceptable,i meant it's not acceptable cause cristopher hitchens (not our citizen,not Turkish,Kurd etc.) wears a Kurdish flag. And we have a problem in our country. It just annoys me and i dont know why. But believe me i'm a humanist,not a racist. And i'm ok with Kurdish people.
@smuldia oh,gosh. There is a "problem" in our country. With Kurdish people. And somebody(out of our country,not our citizen) goes and wears a Kurdish flag. It makes everything more complex. I DONT HAVE PROBLEM WITH KURDISH PEOPLE. Get over it. I live them. In my country. We have so much ethnic people,and we accept Kurdish people too! But some bad people wants a part of our national territory. Just some people.
@suffern63@anthonyalien ...Kurdish people in Turkey.But infact there is not a problem,some Kurdish people make problem.And goverment.Believe me,i dont like my goverment but i love my country so fucking much.And we are not doing a genocide... If you'll live in here, you will get it. But in another country,you cant understand it.We have soooo much ethnic people,we have Laz people,we have Armenian people,and again,i'm a humanist i'm not against them at all,some people just want to watch world burn
@suffern63@anthonyalien okay,i'm not against to Kurdish people,definitely not cause they are one of us! I mean,they live with us,in our neighborhood,in our apartment! They are like part of Turkey. But there is bad Kurdish people and good Kurdish people in Turkey. Bad Kurdish people want to break us apart and form a new,brand new country with our national territory. Think about it! We fought against enemies with Kurdish people in World War,they are not bad. And now there is a problem with...
@zselaph i saw an interview. hitch was down for the kurds. he said they were the largest ethnic population with no homeland. he stood with the kurds. you are not acceptable.
@zselaph How the hell is it "not acceptable"? How does you being Turkish translate into it being unacceptable for the Kurds to have self-determination?
The cure for poverty has a name, in fact. It's called the empowerment of women.If you give women some control over the rate at which they reproduce, if you give them some say, take them off the animal cycle of reproduction to which nature and some religious doctrine condemns them, and then if you throw in a handful of seeds, the floor of everything in that village, not just poverty, but health and education, will increase."
his comment on McCain's running mate being not just ridicules but insulting... spot fucking on. i had the same thought but of course hitch verbalized it far better than i could have ever hoped to.
Christians are children of some demon. the Jews are fucking and manipulating the Christians and in time they will ruin the great united states of America. I love Hitchens. It is so disappointing and hurtful that he has cancer. We have so many dirty worthless spics living and ruining America and yet Hitchens has cancer. Life is so fucking unfair.
Christ' Hitchens' books aren't hoisted to the top by free-market forces. There's no great hue & cry by the public for what he produces. His books fit the agenda of the tax-funded public library system which ALWAYS champions books & films that promote degeneracy, Marxism and ruination. One needs only to read a local paper to see that the slant of every feature favors cultural Marxism: collectivism, aborticide, internationalism, sacred victims' groups, thought-crime laws & Earth worship.
some psychological warfare tactics are meant to completely paralyze people mentally. If every person in a persons life friend and foe attacks an the same individual it is meant to freeze a persons mind and shut them down. This tactic would be used to make some one go insane if employed against them when they are right and wrong. Psychological warfare.
@tlriven Um ok I will concede. Although he was mostly brought up in England, speaks with an english accent and was indoctrinated at an early age with English culture and heritage. If I moved to america, i would class myself as an american but I would still be of english origin.
It therefore seems, that although Christopher is very happy to be known as an american citizen, im sure he wouldnt deny the fact that he is also english and will always be regardless of his legal status.
@Goergebenson The U.S. is an anomaly. We don't tend to define/class people by ethnicity because we're such a mixed group of people. The only thing that really binds us is a common history and idea. But yeah, his ethnicity will pretty much always be English.
Respond to this video..Perhaps either your original statement doesnt really make sense, or you have a very loose acceptance of what it is for someone to be an American. I consider Christopher to be an English Academic. If you would like him to be American, thats fine too. Dont forget he's probably spent less than half his life in America. So calling him a great american patriot is quite a claim, considering no one actually knows what a real american patriot is. Moron!!
@Goergebenson The fact that Hitchins's ethnicity is English doesn't make him any less American than a number of other people who make up our country; Korean Americans, Japanese Americans, Irish Americans, etc. Sure, maybe he doesn't have a family history in the States, but the most important thing factor for being American is the common idea that binds us. By all means, call him an English academic (if you're referring to his ethnicity) but I wouldn't call George Takei a Japanese actor...

@tlriven What? He has dual citizenship, which defines his nationality as British-American. He was born and socialised in England to presumably English parents and lived here for thirty years which defines ethnicity as English. Takei was born in America to parents who were Japanese-American and has lived there for his whole life. Clear distinction
@Unremarkable1000 We agree that Takei's ethnicity is Japanese? Good. We agree that Hitchens's ethnicity is English? Yes, good. Despite ethnicity and the fact they obtained citizenship in different ways, both are clearly American. The point is that we can go around in circles about the semantics their nationality: British-American, so what? You say tomato and someone else says tomahto. Unless you're trying to say Takei is more American by virtue of being born here, which I totally disagree with.
@tlriven Clearly American - singularly? Not British-American? How so? We're not going around in semantic circles, I'm stating the fact that he is of dual-citizenship and an ethnic Englishman and you're attempting to define him as simply 'American' presumably due to some kind of primitive nationalistic urge.
@Unremarkable1000 I responded to Goergebenson's comment, "ha ha ha hes not american!!!" So, try to understand the context of the conversation before coming out of left field without a frame of reference to discuss the finer details of dual-nationality. I was not classifying him as "simply American" - the subject of dual citizenship had simply not entered the conversation until you decided to get your panties in a bind.
I am a Christian and obviously I disagree with Mr. Hitchens' atheistic views but I have come to respect him immensely for his wit and intelligence. I wish we as Christians had a spokesperson who could argue the case for Christianity as well as he has done for Atheists.
@MonetPollack do you not think there is a reason for that? Its because no one can ultimately argue against logic, rational or intelligence. If you do, you end up looking foolish and thats why you wish you had someone on your side to challenge him. Who ever that person would be would have to argue against all logic!!
A classic example of the internet leaping to hasty conclusions and getting it totally wrong.
Hitchens, in his recent letter, only mentioned the loss of his voice, not whether it's temporary or permanent. A lot of people concluded it was permanent.
Now, recently in June, Hitchens participated in a debate at the Waterloo university, TALKING from a videofeed (couldn't come in person, due to illness).
@twooffour Even a TEMPORARY loss of voice is sad. For him and for his fans. And should his illness take his voice PERMANENTLY as EVIDENCE says it well may, that will be truly sad. Is that "based" enough for you, snarky?
It matters how long "temporary" is, but I'd say if I lost my voice for 2 weeks, it would be uncomfortable and unpleasant, but certainly not sad or tragic. He's already regained his voice and continues debating on his usual level, do you get that?
To answer your point, he aswell "may well" die from his mallady, but that doesn't make it right to go around saying "so sad he's dead" based on overhearing a snippet saying "and so when Chris was gone...".G
@NorthNorth2009 You can't outright call him a liar. - That's impractical. You can't outright call anyone a liar. - That's childish I'm afraid my friend.
@NorthNorth2009 I'm sorry my friend, but if God were real, then why doesn't he some and run the world? - I indeed am glad there is no god, otherwise I would want to tear him a new one for neglecting planet earth. - The second I realized there was no god, these plentiful imperfections seemed far more logical and understandable. - I.E, no god = screw-ups making sense, and God = screw-ups made by a screw-up. - You see what I mean?
@supahsekzy Yes, but tell him that. He also made him educated and in good physical condition but he drank and smoked himself to cancer. why would he do that to himself isn't it the same thing as saying awful things about God, who was used as an excuse for human greed.
@Brenda2OOO CHRISTIANITY AND THE TRUTH OF THE BIBLE IS NOT GONE AND WILL NEVER BE AS THIS IS WORD OF GOD THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING AND NOBODY CREATED AS PERFECT BOOK AS THE BIBLE EVER!!!

@twooffour his oesophageal cancer has destroyed his voice box, so, even if he struggles on for a while, he'll never speak again. At least thats what I understand.
Twas just revealed to me that Hitch writes & edits for VANITY FAIR! My God a FASHION magazine, really Hitch? Man that's disappointing. I'm sure it pays well but what about all the royalties from your books? I'm embarrassed to admit, but that does ruin your cred. a bit. Get well soon (& get a new job : )
@timjdong I suggest you read his writings from Vanity Fair before you throw stones. He is very much the same person in writing there as he is on the stage denouncing religion.
@timjdong Have you read any of his pieces in Vanity Fair? According to your first sentence apparently not. It doesn't ruin his "cred" at all. He works in the Arts & Culture section of the magazine. In other words, the fact that the magazine also contains subjects like fashion, has little influence on what he writes about. Do yourself a favour and have a look through his Vanity Fair archive. I suspect you may be pleasantly surprised.
I'm tired of people ranting on comments page because a comments page does not leave enough room for discussion and to be elaborate. We have to begin to understand that discussion of religion in general embodies hundreds of subjects and requires enough insight. Never mind the fact that there's a need to be cordial and ordered in discussion. If anyone honestly wants to discuss this stuff thoroughly, shoot me a message.
To argue with an "atheist" is akin to fighting with a Chihuahua over a fatty chunk of putrefied ham. If you win your prize is a grizzled scrap of spoiled meat baptized in dog spittle.
I don't understand the idiocy of religious ignorance, to believe that
1) We can't be moral without believing. Killing/rape/child sacrifice/genocide.. all wrong, all immoral, yet in the bible all perfectly fine. therefore God is NOT great.
2) We don't "believe" in anything. (the misconception is that because we don't believe in God we are dead inside. We love life, the beauty of the natural sunset, the smile of a new-born baby etc. Gah, religious ignorance and arrogance just pisses me off.
rotov80 My take on your response is that you're being plain dishonest. If one goes thru life believing in Nothing (the name of an atheist's religion) life can never be seen as "beautiful". (I'm not a bible-thumper by the way).
@SPEAKEZE2 I would disagree. My life became more beautiful once i renounced religion. To quote the movie Troy, "Everything is more beautiful when you're damned." Knowing that every beautiful thing could be the last time I ever experience that, amplifies that beauty.
@Drudy90 I renounced the Holy Roman Catholic Church at the age of 22 when the priest refused to give me absolution for my homo "sins". Renouncing a religion doesn't mean I'm an unbeliever. On the contrary, I am a sane person who beleives he is the EFFECT OF ONE CAUSE. It can be no other way 4 we are not like "shit" that just "happens", as your atheistIC high priests will always assert.
@SPEAKEZE2 Ok I'll be more specific, I renounced belief in any concept of a god. It was liberating - like coming out of the religious closet. Have you ever read Hitchens' book? I think even believers would find it interesting.
@Drudy90 Not to be sarcastic d(r)ude, but why would I want to read a black-hole manifesto that teaches me that my Source (all it what U will) is NOTHING. Been there, done that. Not interesting
@SPEAKEZE2 Because the best debaters are those who have familiarized themselves with the opposition's arguments. I'm not saying you have to agree with the book, but there's nothing wrong with exposing yourself to different ideas.
Dear Piña Colada -no, it's not the Bible that's hilarious, it's STEVE MARTIN'S rendition of "ATHEISTS DON'T HAVE NO SONGS", which is so-so true, because they have nothing JOYOUS to sing about. Singers (& writers) who believe in NOTHING have nothing to sing (or say).
Bible thumpers tout the parts of the Bible they think are good, their opponents highlight the verses they think are evil, and I just don't give a damn about the vast majority of the book. It's irrelevant. It's mostly about oxen and other forms of ancient money. I value it for it's historical significance and contributions which are too often ignored by secularists and too often misunderstood by fundamentalists.
Christopher Hitchens & associates can now eat their hearts out after listening to STEVE MARTIN & his Steep Canyon Rangers hilarious hit ATHEISTS DON'T HAVE NO SONGS! on CD Rare Bird Alert -FUNNY AS HELL
These puppies should have been placed in the protective care of the local Humane Society whereat they would have been humanely put to death by injection, decompression or with poisonous gas.
I don't mean this as a joke but he looked absolutely great for his age up until the oesophageal cancer. Now I'd say, it's robbed him of about ten to fifteen years of his youthful looks.
Me too. I'll commune with nature but I'll not commune with communists. Full-time pretender Henry Winkler is a media whore. How low might he go? He's currently huckstering for the reverse-mortgage crooks because: January 14, 2011 was the 50th anniversary of my birth! Fifty years of clean living with no harmful side effects. Imagine, just like the song of the same name...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hitchens is a mediocre ape. Have any of you even read one of his works? Do you need your intellectual food handed to you in the form of an easy-to-swallow youtube personality before you'll pay any attention? Have you even read ANYTHING other than anime fan fiction?
I despise this new breed of faggy pseudo-intellectuals the internet is churning out - people who haven't read a book in their lives, yet fancy themselves philosophers. Go and namedrop Hitchens to your hipster friends you failures.
@Intelectual95 Since you wrote an identical paragraph on a Chomsky page it is you who are churning and one must assume that in light of this you probably plagiarized it.
Your inane comment makes your name quite ironic. You make no argument at all. You only offer personal attacks and empty platitudes. It's really a rather lame attempt at trolling.
Hitchens' alarmism feeds on ignorance and the public library system's deep pockets to make his books, that the public-at-large does not read, into best-sellers.
@procommenter wait...what? library's make his books best sellers.....have you jsut realist how fucking stupid that is? it doesn't surprise me that you are capable of breathing, because an IQ above 5 is not necessary for that.
Mark Twain....George Carlin.... Christopher Hitchens, men who did not fear the truth of their insignificance in the cosmic scheme of things... so glad I have benefited from all of their insights, so much more reassuring than a bible or torah or Koran~
@Salvac88 True, but it is easy to lose sight of that fact before the gut wrenching, mind blowing, and just downright staggering realization of how big the universe is.
@DNRvideos hmmmm none of those is anything like the other. Hitchens and Carlin are relatively insignificant figures compared with Twain, and Carlin is nothing to Hitchens. Goddamn, Americans are stupid. How unashamedly you expose your stupidity! It's almost something to admire...
@pullingart yes americans are stupid, whats your point arrogant non american? that you're superior? you're just another dipshit in a sea of internet dip shits~
@DNRvideos dipshit in a sea of dipshits...what a profound thought. haha. i wonder why you'd think that would mean anything to me at all or move me in any way...
@pullingart I'd say that's subjective and therefor a matter of opinion, stop being such an ignorant generalizing fool, just because he has a different opinion all americans are dumb? Whats the logic in that? There isn't any, maybe you should think before you make yourself look like an ignorant idiot.
@pullingart Well, then I don't share your opinion. That's how that should end. It's incredibly narrow minded to just say everybody who doesn't share your opinion is an idiot, and then call their entire country idiots.
@pullingart The guy is just listing a few celebrated atheists whom he feels have shared similar views on religion and have influenced him greatly. Nor is he necessarily giving them equal weight in terms of their respective contributions or significance by listing together, as you seem to suggest. I'm not sure how you confer stupidity upon an entire nationality from all that.
@pullingart No, not clearly. I don't see why you would think that, he doesn't insinuate that in any way. And if I were a comedian i'd probably think carlin was the more important one, if i was a journalist, then maybe hitchens. Catch my drift? It's a matter of opinion, get that through your skull.
@pullingart "the clearly have equal weight for him."
My point exactly. Carl Sagan, Bertrand Russell, and Albert Einstein have equal weight for me, but they clearly don't belong in the same sentence when discussing their respective fields of study and expertise. I'm not understanding your hostility at all.
@BlueScreenLife the key about twain is that he replicates life, or brings life through the page. anyone to whom carlin means as much as twain has either not read twain or is a dull person. it frustrates me that america forgets its best. i want america to find its potential again, and to feel it.
@pullingart Oh come on. Why should Carlin and Twain be mutually exclusive?!?!? I'm sure this person holds Twain in high esteem for the reasons you just listed and more, while also giving Carlin his due for influencing his atheist views through comedy. Nothing more, nothing less. I will agree that America needs to wake the hell up though and revamp its education system. It also frustrates me that Americans are so shockingly illiterate, but this person can do exponentially worse than Carlin.
@pullingart Ok sure, whatever. If you're going to be so stubbornly pedantic about "equal weight" for a person's influences and somehow that person is dull for it, then I leave you with your self-satisfaction.
I miss hitchens :(

If you do, you end up looking foolish and thats why you wish you had someone on your side to challenge him. Who ever that person would be would have to argue against all logic!!

Brenda2OOO 8 months ago 29
@Brenda2OOO
A classic example of the internet leaping to hasty conclusions and getting it totally wrong.
Hitchens, in his recent letter, only mentioned the loss of his voice, not whether it's temporary or permanent. A lot of people concluded it was permanent.
Now, recently in June, Hitchens participated in a debate at the Waterloo university, TALKING from a videofeed (couldn't come in person, due to illness).
The loss of voice was TEMPORARY.
Base your wailings on EVIDENCE next time ;)
twooffour 7 months ago
@twooffour Even a TEMPORARY loss of voice is sad. For him and for his fans. And should his illness take his voice PERMANENTLY as EVIDENCE says it well may, that will be truly sad. Is that "based" enough for you, snarky?
Brenda2OOO 7 months ago
@Brenda2OOO
It matters how long "temporary" is, but I'd say if I lost my voice for 2 weeks, it would be uncomfortable and unpleasant, but certainly not sad or tragic. He's already regained his voice and continues debating on his usual level, do you get that?
To answer your point, he aswell "may well" die from his mallady, but that doesn't make it right to go around saying "so sad he's dead" based on overhearing a snippet saying "and so when Chris was gone...".G

@timjdong Have you read any of his pieces in Vanity Fair? According to your first sentence apparently not. It doesn't ruin his "cred" at all. He works in the Arts & Culture section of the magazine. In other words, the fact that the magazine also contains subjects like fashion, has little influence on what he writes about. Do yourself a favour and have a look through his Vanity Fair archive. I suspect you may be pleasantly surprised.

I'm tired of people ranting on comments page because a comments page does not leave enough room for discussion and to be elaborate.

Never mind the fact that there's a need to be cordial and ordered in discussion. If anyone honestly wants to discuss this stuff thoroughly, shoot me a message.

I don't understand the idiocy of religious ignorance, to believe that
1) We can't be moral without believing. Killing/rape/child sacrifice/genocide.. all wrong, all immoral, yet in the bible all perfectly fine. therefore God is NOT great.
2) We don't "believe" in anything. (the misconception is that because we don't believe in God we are dead inside. We love life, the beauty of the natural sunset, the smile of a new-born baby etc. Gah, religious ignorance and arrogance just pisses me off.

@SPEAKEZE2 I would disagree. My life became more beautiful once i renounced religion. To quote the movie Troy, "Everything is more beautiful when you're damned." Knowing that every beautiful thing could be the last time I ever experience that, amplifies that beauty.

@Drudy90 I renounced the Holy Roman Catholic Church at the age of 22 when the priest refused to give me absolution for my homo "sins". Renouncing a religion doesn't mean I'm an unbeliever. On the contrary, I am a sane person who beleives he is the EFFECT OF ONE CAUSE. It can be no other way 4 we are not like "shit" that just "happens", as your atheistIC high priests will always assert.
SPEAKEZE2 10 months ago
@SPEAKEZE2 Ok I'll be more specific, I renounced belief in any concept of a god. It was liberating - like coming out of the religious closet. Have you ever read Hitchens' book? I think even believers would find it interesting.

Bible thumpers tout the parts of the Bible they think are good, their opponents highlight the verses they think are evil, and I just don't give a damn about the vast majority of the book. It's irrelevant. It's mostly about oxen and other forms of ancient money. I value it for it's historical significance and contributions which are too often ignored by secularists and too often misunderstood by fundamentalists.
