I said in another posting, "What potential!"; this now seems disrespectful. This man is the real McCoy!

Muslims are great at dialogue. the world's greatest listeners! Not!

Judging by the amounts and the paucity of ingredients this guy has no idea. Subtle it ain't! Tasty...? Nah!

I just want to thank this dear old man. I was an atheist, I believed in rational thought, I had a high regard for science, philosophy and art. When women close to me had headaches or periods I took it as a normal part of the human condition and supported them. I drank wine with my meals and li...

Dughh! Eh! Ahhm! Whatever! How did I get here? I'm off to find some intelligent debate.

A woman/negro/gay etc, is sitting in a pub over an empty beer glass. Someone asks if they'd like another one. The response: "Why would I want another empty beer glass?" - Of course, this joke is only funny if predicated on the belief that all women/gays/negroes etc are stupid. Creating a negati...

Another typical product of islamic brainwashing! Well, this is what you end up with after years of rocking back and forth in a mental institution monomaniacally reciting from a book in a language you haven't a hope in hell of understanding. What an idiot! The great paedophile says stone women ...

Is the building of the mosque and the opening date not simply some form of insurance? Don't forget that muslims are Americans too. Of all your video postings that I've seen I haven't heard anything that I would disagree with or object to. However, on this one, I do have questions and doubts.

I've just come across your videos and I take my hat off to you, sir. There isn't a word of yours - that I've heard - that seems out of place. 'Telling it like it is' is the way to go! Mind you, I suspect that it is only the so called 'moderate religionists' who are in with a shout of understan...

(Following Ringo Starr's success as a Yasser Arafat lookalike, Mick has morphed into Colonel Gadaffi.

Sting has to be applauded for taking a modicum of talent a hell of a way. He's got good taste and it's clear he's a grafter (as well as an opportunist). I just wish he wouldn't keep stroking himself all the time, though, of course, love is a many splendoured thing. I might even be moved to buy...

Thank goodness for Youtube (and the makers of this programme). Many of us do not have conversational access to the brilliant minds of academe but, by engaging with philosophical issues such as those raised here by the peerless Dr Miller, we can extend our knowledge and better challenge or suppor...

Steve Jobs is the most important person of the twenty first century. Other most important people who have gone before him include Princess Diana, Kim Il Sung, Mother Theresa, Josef Stalin, Muhammed Ali, David Beckham, Adolf Hitler etc. Come on, let's get real! It's called hype. Control the me...

Ah! When interviews gave time and room for the guests to expose themselves with confidence in confidence.

What a mess! No doubt some of the materials are great (strawbale, tadelakt etc) but the design and the decor...ugh!

Out of the hands of 'our dear father' and into the hands of 'our dear father'; will somebody please rescue this child!

Look at the children's stage managed reactions at around 4.20. This is the cream of DPNK's youth. The others are in the streets scrounging crumbs and dying. Totalitarian 'religion' of this kind is just as obscene as that inculcated by madrassas, Sunday schools and the rest. This is the sad re...

The two holes at the top of the body (of the guitar:) towards the neck: any ideas?

Absolutely brilliant! Great setting too! Just like a good meal, it's not just about the notes. Getting the acoustics right, having no ugly visual distractions; it all helps to calm the mind and make it more receptive for the music. Of course, we're only seeing it via internet video, but...!

Hats off to you, sir! Not only are you a master craftsman, you've also put a great motivational/instructional video on the web: thanks! I started making a guitar many years ago - though never finished it, due to pressure of work. In about five or six years time I'll set up a workshop and I wi...

Awesome performance! Great sounding instrument, too!

It should be shown in every school in every land. However, until children are allowed to form their own opinions based on unprejudiced teaching, this will never happen. To the brainwashed many in this world logic and compelling scientific evidence is as strange and wrong as those grotesque huma...

More than perfection! This is music, naked and unaffected. It communicates and thrills at a deep level.

The catholic church has a bad, bad history. It tortures the proponents of enlightenment and rapes children. With an 'infallible' pope such infallibility is seriously questionable (hiding paedophiles ain't good for business and suggests anything but infallibility). Just wind up the organisation...

45 secs to go before the 2 minute hate. 45 mins to launch weapons of mass destruction. 45 must be the lucky number. I'll use it in the next lootery (sic).

And the classical teachers say don't move your right hand. What do they know! Bravo maestro!

Well done, Mr Bream. You are the Maestro of the latter 20th century. Not only are you a superb guitarist but, from the many interviews I have seen you give, you're also a bloody nice bloke. Enjoy your retirement! I raise a glass to your health and go back to my tremolo practice.

The famine statistic! Not just A football stadium! Try thinking several stadiums - full. That's two to three hundred thousand! Anyway, what an incredible story. Once again, the indomitability of the human spirit shines through. Just like women (Ayaan Hisi Ali) subjugated and tortured in the ...

It's so sad that this place is just one big torture camp. It is child abuse and a complete denial of human rights on a massive scale. It is, along with Afghanistan and all the hard line muslim countries, hell on earth (though, of course, brainwashing,dogmatic creeds and a police state ensure mo...

Looking at DB and RD Jnr and KM you might be tempted to conclude that perhaps cocaine ain't so bad after all. But then again, money buys you new teeth and fixes yer nose etc.

She should have been asked about her roots, particularly islam and the subjugation of women. Does she know Ayaan Hirsi Ali?

(I hope the band got paid). - "...those among YOU who are black..." Hey, why not: '...those among US who are black...'? Great speech? I don't think so.

Superb interpretation! Great dynamics! Great tone!

This is the most intelligent contribution I have ever heard to this debate. This woman's dignity, courage and intelligence shine through. She is the natural successor to Nelson Mandela when we talk in terms of a de facto 'world leader'. Richard Dawkins has already proposed her as a Nobel laure...

As I understand it, the quran has to be read in Arabic. it doesn't matter if you cannot understand Arabic (understanding doesn't really feature in the exercise). Simply learn it rote (The psychological pain of doing any boring exercise by rote makes me wince). It does not, of course, involve ...

Is that a phone going off - twice? Hasn't the guy any common sense or etiquette? Harris is a great speaker but the stuttering is vaguely annoying. One of the questioners was extremely erudite. i wonder why he's not on the stage.

If rational analysis and scientific method were made the compulsory bedrock of the school curriculum at least subsequent debate on the big issues would, hopefully, get us off the merry-go-round of uni-directional mudslinging that currently obtains. Harris is a superb speaker whose scientific rig...

Why is it that, almost invariably, those who speak for religion tend to rant and be insulted if their dogma isn't believed (or at least positively recognised and legitimated) and the 'new atheists' tend to be intelligent, engaging and logically coherent? Education serves a pivotal part in this. ...
