Are you talking about Peter hitchens, the brother of Christopher hitchens who died in 2011? If so, Peter hitchens is and was a fucking moron already for a long time. I admired his brother Christopher, one of the most intelligent man ever, who used the English language like no other. Christopher had some questionable views on the war in Iraq but goodness me, the world misses his intellect about criticism and knowledge on religion and equality. His writings and books are amazing and his public debates with politicians and religious leaders were pure gold. He also destroyed his own brother Peter on several occasions during public debates on religion. Because while Peter was constantly repeating the same bullshit about the "existence" of God, Christopher was able to bury his opponents through sheer knowledge and wit. Not surprised Peter is acting like an idiot during this time, he has been an idiot for ages. Possibly the greatest orator of our time. And the greatest seeker and proponent of truth. indeed. as i mentioned in the post, i couldnt really agree with some of his views. although the man put it so well that everything he explained still made sense. but when it came down to topics like religion, mother teresa and her life full of bullshit and lies, equality, empowerment of women etc, christopher hitchens was on a different level to anyone else. i have never seen a human being able to absolutely whipe the floor with each and every individual who ever faced him in debates. while he suffered from cancer he debated with that prick tony blair about the idea that "religion is a force for good in the world", which blair obviously supported, only months before hitchens died from his cancer. blair got totally humiliated by hitchens. that man knew every single holy book in the world better than the most powerful religious leaders and he silenced them all during debates, through more knowledge about their own ideas and books then they actually knew themselves. brilliant man. very rarely will you ever see a more honest, direct and intelligent human being, not giving a single shit if he offended anyone as long as he spoke the truth. outstanding speaker, possibly the best of our time. and his intelligence, wit and reactions were out of this world. imagine having that man during these times. i absolutely love richard dawkins and his writings, debates and ideas about religion. but christopher hitchens book god is not great: how religion poisons everything, was the standout and i would not only recommend that book to every single individual who questions those religious ideas but also to every single person who believes in those stories. even dawkins himself said that he was the greatest mind when it came down to those topics. coming back to his brother, peter hitchens. he is a moron and to not end with his brother (sorry for the long post but hitchens really inspired and influenced me deeply), let me finish with some of my favourite quotes from him that i will carry around forever: - "nothing proves the man made character of religion as obviously as the sick mind that designed hell, unless it is the sorely limited mind that has failed to describe heaven. except as a place as either worldly comfort, eternal tedium, or continued reslish in the torture of others." - "god loves you so much that he created hell, just in case you dont love him back." - "do i think i`m going to paradise? of course not! i wouldnt go if i was asked. i dont want to live in a celestial north korea, for one thing, where all i get to do is praise the dear leader from dawn till dusk." - "take the risk of thinking for yourself. much more happiness, beauty, truth and wisdom will come to you that way."

I don't mind Rogan but he's not the first person to show moronic tenancies during this pandemic. Just look at Elon Musk, the man has done amazing things but he's really been a prick during the lock down. He threatened to lift his factory and move it to Texas and he had every politician licking his arse as a consequence. He did receive hundreds of millions in subsidies from California to build that factory by the way. Peter Hitchens is another in the UK press, apparently it's just another flu.

Not surprised Peter is acting like an idiot during this time, he has been an idiot for ages. I would never compare Peter to his brother, Christopher was something else in a debate, alot like Chomsky or Sowell, they seem to have facts and numbers to backup anything there debating. Im not overly fussed on his work about religion but more so how he went after the Kennedys and busting the myth of Henry Kessenger, he wound Kessenger up so badly he branded his an anti semite and had to retract and apologise.

Im not overly fussed on his work about religion but more so how he went after the Kennedys and busting the myth of Henry Kessenger, he wound Kessenger up so badly he branded his an anti semite and had to retract and apologise. true that. hitchens handled kissinger with easy and his power of words, just as he did with anyone else he ever encountered. as far as i know though, kissinger never apologised himself, rather made his lawyers to publish an apology for him. i might be wrong though. even if you`re not too fussed about his work on religion, i cant recommend it highly enough. whether you believe in a god, are an atheist or even if you dont care at all. for me personally, just for me, i see it as common knowledge and interest. i have read the bible multiple times and not even hitchens was better in convincing me why i dont believe in that story compared to reading the book myself, read the quran, bhagavad gita, the torah and several other religious books. all of them good reads and depict precisely why its pretty much the same at the end, stealing and feeding from each other. i will never forget his stance on islam. during a time when you were called islamophobic if you even dared to speak up against it. he never cared, always made it clear that he doesnt attack the millions and millions of people who believe that fairy tale but who live their lifes in peace and open towards others, he ripped the religion itself and the teachings apart. and if you read the quran you can only shake your head about what is being preached in there, same as the bible to be honest. his book about mother teresa "the missionary position" was groundbreaking at the time. everyone was afraid to question the decision to make her a saint. hitchens was actually the only person who got invited to the vatican to raise his voice against it. he met her several times, talked to her and exposed her in the end in his book and his BBC documentary. i never cared about her but through reading his points and facts i got really interested and i will never forget his words on her: "she was not a friend of the poor. she was a friend of poverty. she said suffering was a gift from god. spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsary reproduction." hitchens got slated for that, years after her death pretty much everything he revealed about her turned out to be absolutely true. i apologize that i derailed your comment into a talk about christopher, rather than his brother and the other points you mentioned. for me that man is one of the, if not the biggest speaker and brain of our time.

Well my dear ‘mericans on here, following various ,and ever more desperate tweets ,President Donald J Trump has done what no other sitting American President has ever done before, he’s suggested that the forthcoming presidential election be postponed. There is absolutely no precedent, the elections even went ahead in 1864 ,during the Civil War. He’s also questioning the trustworthiness of postal voting, which is odd, as that’s EXACTLY how he chooses to vote. “Dead man walking on the Green Mile”

I can see Nancy right now thinking “please try and do this you Orange bitch” as she sharpens her claws! I can also see that Trump will probably need removing with a small, tactical nuke.

Trump’s also admitted today that he didn’t pay his respects to John Lewis, the Democratic member and civil rights activist, as he lay in state in the Capitol for 2 days this week before being buried today. The creature is unbelievable. I can’t call him a man.

Also, hasn't the US postal service announced a cut off 14 days prior to the election for votes to be submitted? So, in effect, the 3rd of November isn't really voting day, its mid October if doing it by post!

Anyone who watches this interview and reaches an opinion other than that Trump is utterly insane, is more insane than he is!

Meanwhile Trump completely violates the Hatch Act, holds the RNC at the White House, employs (supposedly) politically neutral White House employees in the production of same, and Mike Pompeo appears from Jerusalem with a supporting speech, whilst on a diplomatic trip, which is also against protocol. Trump’s also trying his damnedest to stymie the USPS with funding and decrying mail-in votes as fraudulent, even though he’s done EXACTLY the same as a former voter, saying it could take “months” to get a result. If Biden does actually win the election, God only knows how they’ll remove Trump, tactical nuke? Fucks sake.
