  • I wish Hitchens had spent the last decade of his life on more literary debate, given his unique take on the personal and political of writers like Orwell, rather than repeat himself over and over about Iraq and religion.

  • so I'm watching this video, and suddenly, 00:16

    I couldn't help a yelp of fear, then again I'm half asleep and about to dose off...

  • @hexag1 Pretty sure it's the Commonwealth Club

  • @iekenta03 Love between a woman and a woman is not a sin. It's not letting me watch that's a sin.

  • THE CORPORATE CARTELS (married monopolies) control the content of the propaganda that's dressed up as news. Truly the dawning of Aquarius is the new age of indoctrination. Time with you is more of an annoyance than wearing a hat. All laws are commandments.

  •  And through this portal (hidden within this pot-hole): We have the dabbler in homosexual deviance, the eugenics' quean Chrissy Hitchens, on his high horse proclaiming that George Orwell was of common intellect.

  • Ah...the subtleties of Orwellian NEWSPEAK vs. OLDSPEAK: world leaders were once foreign leaders...

  • @belzondium The scale does not excuse the crime, the fact that it was totally un-necessary is more important. freedom is not enjoyable, when its only form is fiction.
