Conversations with History: Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky/Trotsky is an intellectual midget who should stick with swinging the alphabet and leave politics to the Political Scientists and Historians. Chomsky has changed his views with the winds just like any other political weathervane - he can criticize but can't offer any solutions. Noam Chomsky, PhD in Anthropology and specialized in linguistics - not politics!

intelligent people know the limits of their knowledge and are therefore liable to change their mind. you on the other hand seem quite certain. (exclamation mark)

...continued from my former comment. But even if he is a snake, he's the kind of snake you want to keep around the house to kill rats. Someone somewhere pointed out that even if Chomsky is wrong, his particular pattern of error tells us something about the world that was formerly unknown. Chomsky is not an intellectual I would buy into without caution, but he is someone from whom I have learned a great deal and he's a fascinating human being. He's changed the way I look at the world.

Sometimes I get this slithery feeling when I'm listening to Chomsky 'quote' sources; like a strange and beautiful snake is moving before me. At times he makes unrestrained use of bits and pieces of others' statements, content to leave listeners with an outrageously negative impression of individuals who when considered as a whole and within the milieu in which they functioned, come off far more honorably than they've been made out to appear.

Noam Chomsky is so intresting but his voice i just cant listen to!!!! =(

Jesus was a Jew...and his reference is God. Is everyone more concerned about what people look like or what they are saying? More importantly...what they are doing. Jesus healed the untouchable, chilled with people that the world didn't like, clarified the law of Moses.."Who does this guy think he is? Forgiving sin. Only God can forgive sin"...says the Pharisees. Human beings are not perfect. Never were. So please stop acting and judging people like they're suppose be perfect.

that is true

This is called referencing. It makes him all the more legitimate. Would you prefer that he just say "I'm right because I say I am"?

I was responding to someone who was asking who else they should read.
