Programmed by world debate forum Intelligence Squared, Versus is the first ever global live debate series using Google+ Hangouts and live streamed on RU-vid.
In the year ahead, we'll be staging a series of monthly debates on free speech, drone warfare, feminism, gay parenting, pornography, religion and much else. Our aim is to bring real debate to enduring questions of global importance.
Who is here after looking at the Microphone Check Documentary? Culture 71 RU-vid channel? and Kool DJ Phase RU-vid Channel? ...All about the creation of hip hop in Bronx, NY? Mainstream media got us all messed!
11 years later I can tell you… democracy is at a low point as never before. Now you are censored if what you say doesn’t fit the requirements of political correctness. We have become a socialist liberal society that treats citizens as subjects and humans as numbers.
If it wasn't for armed citizens we wood still be a colony of these limey bastards. As for hunting, if it wasn't for hunters who purchase licenses and pay excise taxes on ammunition and firearms that funds wildlife research and habitat restoration, the U.S. wouldn't have have the population of wildlife that we have today. "The right to arm bears" what a snotty little ignorant knucklehead. That little pasty faced turd has probably never spent a minute in the outdoors in his life.
From Gospel to Hiphop is FBAs Music Culture Just like the Hula is to Hawaii. A FBA Music Culture is Not this Immigrants Panel. Black or YT and every color Ibtwns Culture. If Immigrants families are being Influenced by Someone Elses Culture it's on them 💯 Not FBA s Music Culture These fools need to go home and teach their kids what their parents taught them about their culture before they fled to where they are today. We'll wait😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
HOW COULD A WRONG DOCTRINE OF CATHOLIC BE A TOOL TO SAVE???,,, Just like AI technology,,,, it has a power to give. Information,,,but no spirit of God to save humanity,,,ALL IS VAIN,,,STUPIDITY ARROGANT SPIRIT THAT UNITES,, DEMONIC INSPIRED LIFESTYLE
Why do people say daily mail is bigoted? From what I’ve seen the guardian is the most bigoted / sexist. Constant anti male pieces, mocking white people etc
Peter has a point. As does Russell. Society has some responsibility for an individual choosing to take drugs. And the individual has some responsponsibility for choosing to take drugs. What doesn't help is Brand not making his point clearly enough to allow for debate, and instead dancing around it. And arguably Peter doesn't help by doing the same. Both as bad as each other if you ask me, which you weren't.
Both men under parasitical influence. One from a physical drug and the other from mental adherence to an invisible friend. Both of which cause societal damage.
@liborsionko - ah yes, the very same ersatz ‘empathy and compassion’ that motivate people like Brand to crusade for drugs to be legalized and subsequently regarded as a ‘disease’ no matter how many lives are destroyed / lost as a result . . . Cool, cool 👍
I'm not a fan of Peter because he's part of the christian right, but he does highlight Brands obvious short cummings, he (brand) rambles on but doesn't actually say anything constructive, he just attacks Peter, a fallacious, ad hominin argument , his youtube vids are exactly the same empty nonsense.
I take the point that Hitchens is a social conservative christian but its worth highlighting that he not as extreme as large parts of US christian right, for example he criticised the psychiatry profession previous analysis of homosexuality as a illness to be treated. Also on economic issues he more centre-left (trade unions, rail nationalisation etc)
I am no fan of Russell but Hitchen's view on drugs is simplistic and reductive. There does not seem to be an understanding from him why people turn to drugs. It can be because of a deep seated trauma in other words societal factors. I am not sure it's just rich kids on the stuff either. A bit of a lack of compassion from Peter on this topic.
