He is greatly missed.He maybe gone but he will never be forgotten.

Hitchens was just a glorified journalist.

Intellectually, he was on par with the author of 50 shades of Grey.

What does a glorified jackass of an narcissist moron like you know about "intellectually"?

What does a book about S`n`M sex have to do with intellect?

What do books about Jefferson and religion have to do with sexstories?

On which basis do you make this comparison?

I think our little man has had a bit of a bad day and is up for a bit of trolling.

People who can rip people apart are a dime a dozen. True creators are the ones I respect.

I love the repartee; however, you have lowered the bar to an extent that Gore Vidal, the authors of the bible and koran, and the editor of the NY Times are nothing more than five year olds accidentally making marks on a piece of paper while two-fisting a giant crayon.

Does the ability to creatively rip someone apart give you pause for thought?

No. It gives me cause for concern. People-rippers who do so skilfully, but remain intellectually empty-headed are but thuggish mercenaries, whose glamor rivals that of the people on the Jersey Shore.

No thanks.

True creators, innovators, thinkers, people who bring new insights to our understanding enrich our lives in ways more meaningful. Ethicists, philosophers, researchers, physicists, cosmologists, biologists.

As an Essex boy, I object to this slur, my county is the home of Glamour.
