Not really, just how I felt it was pointed out earlier

You can't get out of it now, I did the 2+2s, I know your intentions now.

Going old school with the copouts now, nice.

Indeed, think what you will but I'm afraid I am ''coping out'' because, well...

I honestly don't care enough.

Obviously that's a violation of the NAP, but I think their aim may be a little skewed.

In keeping with the MB tradition of zeroing in on unimportant details, I'm afraid I have to come down on you hard here, ZFZ.

"Coping" is part of the verb "to cope," both words having a vowel sound that rhymes with "soap." To preserve the vowel sound in the verb "to cop," the -ing form should be spelled "copping," the same way the verb "to shop" changes to "shopping."

Again, skewed aim.

Hitchens was intelligent in some ways but more often than not, he seemed more interested in ****-talking than in making solid points. I do the same damn thing if we're being honest.

If Ziggy assumes what the troll meant or was thinking he has already done twice amount of work that troll has done. So why are you whiteknighting that troll? That troll doesn't even take time to write a coherent sentence complete with capitalization and punctuation let alone bother to articulate a complete thought. Why does Ziggy have to ask the troll when the troll puts no effort into what he posts? If the troll writes **** posts why does the onus fall on the reader to know what he means or the reader has to ask what he meant before proceeding to comment?

Who cares what you think of Hitchens whether you think he is a "moron" or he is your favorite philosopher. Was there any once of truth to his statement? Unless you are willfully ignorant* to what is going on in the world you would know what Hitchens was warning us about is true. However he was a moron for leaving out the part where the flaming liberals will roll out the red carpet for the islamists jihadists.

edit:
I meant to say "willfully ignorant," a term I heard Gavin McInnes use, instead of "willfully blind," a term I saw riseagainstrocks use.

Blind Willie McTell was blind, and he probably had done more reading of books than you will ever hope to achieve in your lifetime. Helen Keller wrote twelve published books, and she was blind too. How books have you published?

No. Gouge out your eyes so that you can know what it really means to be willfully blind.
