Richard Dawkins Reads His Hate Mail

[Nepenthe]

I think he has lost the ability to look at himself objectively. I know I liked him a whole lot more when I only read his books and didn't see him interviewed, maybe I am reacting to his accent and it is a class thing, but his voice and attendant claque in this video are like nails on a blackboard to me.

The Queen Mother was the last of the awesome British royals

I think you make a good point. But I hope you, as an Irish woman, can look at Dawkins as an example of someone who was born on foreign soil who became successful by working hard and applying their keen intellect to prosper- all of which can then ultimately result in making one a better person. That is, in your case, you can aspire to be British.

I think I have to wait a couple of days with the rest of the country to see what I am going to be

See he is genius, heard of public relations but doesn't give a crap about it.

No genius dresses up as a Nazi.

Nazis are not figures of fun.

hmm...Nope, you're wrong.

If you call that fun then fine.
I personally if was a prince of England and Scotland would not have the bad taste to dress as an officer of a facist regime that murdered millions and also bombed my home nation to near destruction.
I would go as Captain Jack Sparrow and not have to spend all night wondering if some antifacist or jewish extremist might decide to smash my teeth in for me at some point.

It wasn't bad spelling, it was bad coordination.

Sunstone, thanks for sharing, I needed a good laugh.

Mocking people because of their spelling mistakes and for not being as educated as you is not a good sign of character in my view. In general I think Dawkins is a brilliant man who has falling into the trap of surrounding himself with people who don't challenge his ideas, and this has made him come across as increasingly arrogant, and belittling , which works against his professed desire to educate.

The letters weren't anywhere near as funny or as abusive as you would expect, I've seen so much worse on this forum.

Haha! You spelled "fallen" wrong! Jeez, how moronic can you be?

Writing hate mail to Richard Dawkins would be as big of waste of time as writing hate mail to Benny Hinn or Osama Bin Laden.

Pretty dumb it has to be said

 

[Smoke]

Pfft you americans

It must be your lucky day! You've called an Irish woman an American and walked away unharmed.

Isn´t writing hate mail always a waste of time?

I've been called worse though for some reason today I'm clocking in at American, British, Royalist, moron and Nazi sympathizer :faint:

 

[tomato1236]

This was pretty funny. I think mostly because there were swear words read in a British accent.

 

[Midnight Pete]

Not if you can provoke the person into writing you back. Then the fun begins!

Do you take this same attitude with religions??
