Hopefully it will be on Youtube. We don't seem to get much good TV here in Oz Undecided

Usually less arrogant than his debating opponents.

His mannerisms and language are almost of a stereotype of his background and schooling, which is privileged and elite. His actual intellectual points I do not find arrogant at all.

Ugh. I find Dawkins has an air of arrogance about him that, despite his ideas, I just can't get on with. Also, why do people assume there is nothing but science and religion? I would like philosophy mentioned, but then that's probably academic bias. Fucking religion, man.

I think that a little arrogance is a good thing. I just saw him speak at the FFRF convention in Portland, and his "arrogance" was kind of a call to action for me.

Dawkins gets on my nerves as much as godschild. Who knew?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Yea, isn't that kinda preaching to the chior over there? Would you mind getting your BBC network to send some of that reason over here to our stupid pathetic Ghost Hunter cable crap here in the states?
