    Oh to have the ability to retain and recall information and speak publicly like this man does! Miss this guy so much here in 2023.

    The Hitch, a Titan. Even with his illness, a Titan.

      An incredible man. Oh that I had a fraction of his wit, wisdom and skills.

    One of the best speakers I've ever heard. Rest in Peace Christopher

    I often wonder if Christopher's family ever read the comments on these youtube videos. I hope they do to know, as if they didn't already, how much he will always be admired for his ferocious intellect that was matched by his courage. He is so missed.

    Sharp, humorous and elegant to listen to, fantastic Hitchens.

    To the end Christopher never gave up the fight and always battled with grace and dignity. Oh that I may die in this way.

    We realise the common sense, all of us, and still when it comes to believing we immediately can forget it again and again. It is amazing how good we are telling lies to ourselves.

    "Believe me I have more" 🙂. Yes, quite a few of us know you did, a whole lot more over the years.
    Problem is, it still doesn't seem to make as much of a difference to people as it should have.

    Massa, I can listen to guy the whole day without pulsing. Just the command he has over the language. I understand why Ghanaian elite spend so much to educate their children in The Uk. Oxion/queens language.

    Poor man, habitually pushing back the hair that he once had. Even with the chemo, he never lost his wit and eloquence. RIP

    He should go up against his brother.

    Sad to hear such a good brain to be so confused.

    Neumann must be a fool if he said that.
    That is not Christianity at all.
    We are sick. Christianity is how we try and heal ourselves.

    When, at 7:00 or so, Hitchens throws into stark, illuminating and obvious light the barbarism of circumcision, why does the audience laugh? Is this a comedy show for yuppies? Do they really think he's just dropped a punchline?

      People laugh when they’re uncomfortable

    This is just Mr. Hitchens (RIP, as I am sure he knew he would) opening remarks and none of Mr. Blair's.

    He does not know what he is talking about!

    An appalling argument, and worse that people found it funny!

    This audience is seeing comedy where they shouldn't.

      The response to 'i have a text' was odd and misplaced, but they otherwise laughed where he wanted them to. Remember that Canada is quite provincial, so you have to make allowances

    Full of giant fallacies and presuppositions.
