Orwell didn't need all that Oxbridge guff to learn to think and his is a rarer and purer 'intelligence' for that. A personal journey into the world of ideas shaped by experience.

@patient0Studios I don't think its important to remember something that never occurred. Hitchens remains an advocate for the invasion of Iraq and removal of Saddam Hussein from power.

Exactly! You read 1984 and you realize it is not a book about fascism, stalinism, communism, capitalism or socialism, its about totalitarian governments controlling us all, which is exactly the case right now, there are no good or evil states, only authoritarian dictatorships all over the world.

@patient0Studios No, he hasn't. What in the hell are you talking about?

@SuperRegisteredUser LOL yes, sunglasses have no use outside of poker and debates, that's why he always wears sunglasses indoors during debates; to gain authority. Also, he should totally talk like Kermit the Frog instead of using his real voice and speech patterns while shoving his hands in his pockets to keep them from moving even a fraction of an inch, that's a super-valid point.
I just bought Nineteen Eighty Four!!!!
