The Inevitable Christopher Hitchens has Died Thread

[hooplala]

Well why don't we just set up a party on his grave

that'd be classy.

He was pretty fucking unlikable.

But the whole "Yay for someone dying" thing. Seriously. Every fucking time.

Fucking hell are you that bored that you're now looking to dig up old arguments over things that nobody actually said yet??

Stirring up shit for nothing, over nothing, if you're trolling PD, go do that somewhere else. And this isn't even jumping on some retarded n00b, but you're wilfully misinterpreting Thurnez, a long-time poster that we all know never even comes close to the sort of assholish vulture-like behaviour you're accusing him of.

I don't give a shit

Do any of you?

[East Coast Hustle]

Frankly, I think it's perfectly valid to be happy that Hitchens died.

It's one thing to be an immoral shitstain. It's a completely different thing to have a global mass-media platform which you use to try to convince the rest of the world that it's good to be an immoral shitstain and that they should follow suit.

So yeah, if I were to come across his grave IRL I probably would dance on it, or at least spit on the headstone. Fuck that guy.

Stay classy.

When "classy" and "real" find themselves at odds, which one do YOU choose?

Because not caring is the exact same thing as gleeful celebration.

Ah you're right I should have quoted Thurnez's post too, to make it obvious that he indeed did not say any the things Nigel tried to accuse him of. Thanks for catching that omission

I'm chalking it up to the Holiday blues/grumps, or something.  Seems like some folks are just itching for fights wherever they can be found.  A classic symptom. 

We should all just put on some cozy sweaters, get a nice mug of a warmed beverage, and sing carols and warm up all of these frosty hearts. 

Who's with me?

You had me at warmed beverage.

Actually, I think we need P3nT's swearing forum back. That was some of the most heartwarming Internet interaction evar.

Sign me the fuck up fucko!  And pass the marshmallows.

Get your own damn marshmallows, it ain't hot chocolate unless you need a fork.

Don't worry about it. I kind of see were she was coming from.

The whole "someone died and I want to be the first to post about it" type of thread has a tabloidish quality to it. So yeah, that's real, in an "ook ook" kind of way.

I didn't accuse him of anything, I just said that it happens every fucking time and it's pretty clear that this thread is about expressing distain for another freshly-dead guy. Someone posts one every time, and just, really?

And I didn't dig up any old arguments; this thread was just posted.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Given the number of deaths that he is in part responsible for, I am not sorry he's dead.

But I'm not planning a party, either.

One less fucking ape to deal with.  Meh.

[East Coast Hustle]

I still don't understand why Hitchens deserves even the minimal amount of respect needed to not be gleeful that he's no longer spewing his racist wanna-be tough-guy crap. My only regret is that his condition wasn't contagious, since in a just world he would have taken Megan McArdle with him.

It's hard to drum up the effort to cheer a guy into his grave, when that guy was basically mainstream America.

Don't know if I'm saying that right.
