Re: Christopher Hitchens is writing atheist polemics up in heaven now
They both sound like dullards to me. Call me simple, if you like. But these are just two very well paid and very chrematistic bastards, havin' a staged pop at two rather poorly presented opposing points of view. And people wonder why I do't come in here much anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's an extremely open minded appraisal of a conversation in which one party argues that talking serpents could have existed because "humans are animals, and humans talk."

Ahh, the God thing.
Having a computer programmer atheist son and a petroleum engineer wife wife who prays the rosary 2-3 times a week, I can categorically state all God arguments start with the great promise of elevated existential elucidation but invariably end up in the guttural clash of spittle and foam.
Entertaining, for the first minute or so.

Re: Christopher Hitchens is writing atheist polemics up in heaven now
^^^ HItchens was a supporter of the Falklands war. Most of the people who dislike him do not take the time to listen to him. The others take themselves so seriously they are afraid to admire someone with a different opinion. I think he got a substnatial number of things wrong--but he also got many right. When it came to things such as our First Admendment freedoms I do not believe there was a more cogent orator. Nat Hentoff is another but he is a far better writer than speaker. Both men have an unusual mix of opinions that can only come from true reflection and a willingness to call it as they see it. I find that quality is very lacking today.

IIRC, the UK won back the Falklands without an aircraft carrier. They used their just-about-to-be-retired Vulcan bombers. Or was that just the opening salvo?
The one good thing Mitterand did was to support Thatcher, giving the Brits intel on the Argentinian Exocets.
Argentina would get their butt kicked - again.
