isn't it crazy how that shit all works together? Always boggles my mind...

lol. I'm sure everyone is aware of how I feel about astrology from your other thread

Yeah, well, I look for patterns. You can argue its absolute precision as much as you like, but in my experience, astrology has held up well in describing a LOT of people in my life.

He was a complete twat. Swam against the tide of current thinking. Refused to apologise for his twattiness - and he was awesome for it.

More people like him please!

Well, I would argue it is the fact that astrology is the exact opposite of precision that makes it appear to hold up for lots of people. You can never receive precision in astrology.

Seriously?! You can say this in a thread that you know I'm following? Are you looking for trouble?

Really. Grow up, you hypocrite. If he had criticized your company, you would have hated his guts, not respected him for it. I'm living proof.

Nah he was intelligent and had reasoning. Don't hijack another thread with your self-hatred deflected to my company.

Excuse me, but don't hijack another thread to laud a person with praise for doing the exact same thing that I do while you've spent the last two years trying to minimize my impact.

What makes Hitchens a genius and me 'self-hating?' The only real difference between our methods is that mine are directed at you! Besides, I'm right here. You didn't expect me to stay silent on this did you?

He was pre-9/11 to the left -- politically. And then shifted to the right... and supported Bush (moreso his illicit invasion of Iraq) ... after 9/11.
I did like his book on Henry Kissinger... and calling him what he was and is: a war criminal.

[loveboof]

and supported Bush (moreso his illicit invasion of Iraq) ...

Yeah, to clarify - he supported that one decision from Bush. I don't think you could call him a Bush supporter...
