Ribzy's Internet Posts and Findings

This is a very interesting and thought provoking video. Apparently it is part 1 of 8, I’ve only watched this one so far though. You can tell both Christoper Hitchens & Tony Blair respect each other. I found it very interesting that 75% of the audience said that they were open to hanging their opinion on the matter based on the debate. How often can you find so a large group of people who would be willing to change.

On a side note, when was Christopher Hitchens diagnosed with cancer? He was on Real Time with Bill Maher a couple months ago and I don’t remember there being an mention of cancer and he looked fine. He lookes like he’s aged at least 10 years in the video.

This Is Informative, You Should Watch It of the Day: Renowned author, journalist, and anti-theist Christopher Hitchens (con) debates former UK premier Tony Blair (pro) on the resolution “religion is a force for good in the world” as part of the Aurea Foundation’s ongoing Munk Debates initiative.

Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8.

tl;dw: Hitchens won.
