Christopher Hitchens on Australian Q&A

Hitchens at his best joined also by some very eloquent if misguided panelists. Make sure you stay for the closing few minutes where he goes in guns blazing.

Phew ... long clip. But good show. Interesting that this came out in the same week that another Australian channel was broadcasting that stupid bloody black-face routine. (>o<)

v Yeah I hear ya Gimli. I know the black-face routine were mostly non-Anglo (and medical professionals to boot) --- But it`s still fuckin *stupid*.

And it`s the white Australians, *NOT* the multicultural ones, who`ll be called racists by the rest of the world. So me, as a French-descent Aussie, will be the one getting told I`m racist - not the Pakistani-descent Aussie though - he couldn`t possibly be racist! Faahhh koff. (Not to you, Gimli. The whole damned situation is faaah koff)

LOL I just imagined a Hitchensometer raising whenever someone said anything about god, and dipping when they say something sensible. Finally going critical at over 80,000 Antihitchens at 52:59.5

religious people do good things and black dogs lick their arses.

Covered hair = modesty, and she`s only forced to wear a small veil in Iran. Isn`t that a picture of modern liberty, it`s seriously heart warming that her mental cage is decorated so beautifully, awwww.... sweet bliss.

@ Uzo funny you should say that because the next episode of Q&A is about that very topic. Check it out here:

But to summarise - Australia has some very unique problems. There is definitely racism in Australia, awful racism. But it`s also interesting that the bloody stupid routine you talked about was performed by medical professionals of multicultural backgrounds themselves.

Good stuff! Lol at around 30 mins when that asian fella tried to imply that Islam was an "ongoing debate". Democracy and Islam? surely not. Every Muslim i have spoken always pride them selves on the point that it is the one religion that has been "consistent" since its inception. That means its books have never been altered so to imply that Islam has nightly builds joke. Oh and he also says Islam doesn`t dicatate how people should live their lives...WTF..the Hadith is DEDICATED to telling people how to live their lives.

As always Hitchens had his sniper going, headshots only ofcourse. Get owned skinny girl and fat girl in the audience.

The brown guy made some good points. But I`d say Hitchens did a good job as usual.
