I came home yesterday to some very sad news. The incredible mind of Christopher Hitchens has passed on. He was a brilliant mind and will be sorely missed by the millions of people he inspired and touched. Hitchens was an atheist writer and debater who challenged religious figures and the status quo of religion. In my opinion, he was far ahead of his time and is the kind-of person we need more of. I'll leave a video of Hitchen's best "Hitchslaps". [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQorzOS-F6w[/YOUTUBE] By the way, I have no intent of offending anyone with this post. I post this thread to give a proper tribute to Christoper Hitchens on this forum. Let's be respectful.
RIP indeed. Legend, icon, someone who will be sadly missed. As a commentator somewhere else said (I'm paraphrasing), the world's average IQ dipped a little further.
Terrible news, when I got the first tweet about him dying I just stared blankly into space for about a minute.
Sad news. Of course, I knew he was sick and probably didn't have long, but it's still shocking nonetheless. He was a brillant man with a brilliant mind. He will be missed.
