51. Free Speech

"You are the drama queen. 'Oh mister Hitchens, you are so funny and witty and...and..I agree with EVERY word you say!' You are easily impressed (and amused), is all I can say." - Comment #25533 by NMcC

Oh dear. You really don't get it do you. Unless of course you are deliberately misrepresenting me (In which case, go back under your bridge Mr Troll).

I agree with his comments on free speech and I find the man funny when he has a knockabout on TV with the usual rogues gallery of religious speakers. That amuses me (easily apparently). However, I actually happen to disagree with his stance on the Iraq war (and no doubt a whole host of other things).

So, stop waving your handbag at me, sit down, and have a nice cup of tea.

"Yea, I'm sure the 100,000s of dead and maimed in the Iraq carnage, which Hitchens supports, are dying with laughter...well...dying anyway." - Comment #25533 by NMcC

Oh don't be so melodramatic. As if Hitchens is responsible for the Iraq debacle. I doubt the casualties of that occupation either know or care who Hitchens is. A lot of people 'support' a lot of things that I don't agree with, that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't amusing characters none the less.

When he's invited on the telly, to 'bash the Bishop' (so to speak), it's usually quite funny. At least, it's funny to me. That's all I'm saying.

You can return to grinding your axe now.

That was really cool. I agree with every word.

I always love it when Hitchens appears on TV or radio. He's the kind of hard drinking, cursing, pissed off atheist that really makes you smile.

54. How Old is the Grand Canyon? Park Service Won't Say

"In order to avoid offending religious fundamentalists, our National Park Service is under orders to suspend its belief in geology,"

How about offending geologists ?

-------------------------------------------------

That's precisely what I thought.

What about offending normal and mentally balanced intelligent people?

That's OK I suppose.

55. The Panel with Richard Dawkins

Comment #12460 by Apemanblues on December 12, 2006 at 3:50 am

Dara Ó Briain's pretty cool. After hearing him talk about a number of other similar subjects on the radio recently I get the impression that he's genuinely a fan of Dawkins work.

56. Richard Dawkins on The Late Late Show with Pat Kenny

It seems that nobody is addressing the really important question that was posed right at the end. What kind of animal is Baloo? I say the answer is a bear.

Poor old, up against it again. Always outnumbered, but never outgunned.

Yep. That's about the size of it

58. God's Inbox

Judging by the top two icons, God uses an old version of QuarkExpress running under classic.

Jesus God, either upgrade your software or switch to InDesign. Sheesh!

59. A man who believes in Darwin as fervently as he hates God

Comment #11902 by Apemanblues on December 8, 2006 at 5:02 am

Well I can only come to two conclusions from this interview.

1) Rod Liddle has not read Dawkins work (or his agent read it, or he skimmed it, or he doesn't understand it).

2) Rod Liddle is a moron.

I suspect it might be a little of both and it doesn't say much for his upcoming programme. Is he really that wooly a thinker? He's embarrassing himself.

60. Intelligent Design teaching materials sent to UK schools

These ID people make me sick.

I have no time for that kind of intellectual dishonesty. I think scientific spokespersons should stop shuffling around politely and just come straight out and accuse these people of blatantly lying.

If they don't then these people will succeed in recruiting a small percentage of morons to their cause and muddy the waters of science with their filthy religious views, just like they have in the minds of many Americans.
