  • how can anyone be an Atheist because Hitchens is God!

  • Every time I refer to Hitchens when discussing religion I get accused of idolizing him as a "profet" in religious terms. They say there is no difference between me listening to hichens and christians listening to a priest. But I beg to differ. Thats nothing but a poor desperate attempt to draw me down to their blind religious level.

    He really is a voice of reason. Guys like him are in very short suply, and I was so saddened when I learned he has terminal canser. But does that stop him? NO!

  • Why is it always the non-violent people who need to show self restraint?

  • @biliev1 I think ur in quivering awe of the hitchs rational blaise (which is clearly full of holes and as rigourous, but brittle, as any other religious dogma)s and are ready to get ravished by anyone,whose olfactory bulb hasnt bin punctured from years of exposure to putrid gases.Tharoors just being apathetic, as is evident! For a mind, that doesnt get dynamics required of the socially intelligent/average and words are just comfort food to feed ones own ravenous narcissism,wise words=lost cause.

  • 6:45 to 7:45 is utterly disgusting. Tharoor keeps saying "I'm not saying people should censor their own works to appease the mobs, but... well, maybe they should have perhaps censored their own works slightly, possibly, to avoid causing all of that trouble."

    Tharoor: "We should take into account the fact that our words have consequences."

    Bakewell: "What does 'take into account' mean?"

    Tharoor: "Well, maybe the short story could have had a different title

  • @stamporomano You got your facts pretty wrong, that's for sure....the right wing party you're referring to came to power in 1998, while Mother Teresa passed away in '97.

  • @sushirollsound Your rant is one hell of an advertisement for religion

  • @biliev1 I don't think you meant to use "turgid". It means inflated, overblown, or pompous; bombastic: turgid language.

  • shashi tharoor a typical dhimmi, an apologist for muslim extremists who protest cartoons of their lunatic cult creator, and at the same time defending a mischief maker average over hyped average painter like hussain

  • @biliev1 what a load of crap. she is only interested in interrupting hitch so she can hear herself talk. your ten cent interpretation only applies to your own obvious hitch-worship and has nothing to do with the above video.
