I didn’t find the quote for desire for conversations. He was a troubled man, complicated, but not an ignorant liberal of the Hollywood type.
This one, Spade, and who?
Politics and religion is just a conduit for the liberal mind. They secretly hate themselves and are jealous of anybody that is truly happy in life.
They secretly Wish they were never born.
There are a lot of signs that the American Empire is following a similar arc to the Western Roman Empire. We may have peaked in the 50's and it could be mostly downhill from here.
Romans reacted to the collapse of their empire in a variety of ways: stoicism, hedonism, epicureanism, and Christianity.
Bourdain seems to have been a hedonist who as he aged became an epicurean. One doesn't have to read too far into the news or surf YouTube to find scads of hedonists and an ever-growing army of epicureans. Stoicism is also on the rise. Tom Wolfe wrote a book (A Man in Full) celebrating stoicism and there are even stoicism groups.
Christianity appears to be on the decline as was Roman paganism. Perhaps some new religion will fill the gap that hedonism, epicureanism, and stoicism are unable to fill.
Bourdain's suicide is a great tragedy for his friends and family, but it is also a warning to the rest of us that we are at a very crucial point in American history.
As I recall it was in his discussion on guns.
“I thought as much in your case.”
And how man democrats have you “converted”? What is your technique? Please share.
My wife has already sleuthed this
His girlie Asia Argento was photographed with another man just last night in Cannes
Bourdain had just dined with his french best bud who owns Le Bernadine in manhattan
He went upstairs after dinner
Checked out I guess
Crazy girls
You had to have proper perspective
Pity
Karma rules!
This is a very important point. What we saw on TV was a guy traveling to interesting places and eating interesting things with interesting people. What he experienced was probably similar to what we experience in our work-a-day worlds: meetings, reshoots, arguments about what to do, waiting around for the right conditions, hurrying through when everything is finally just right, the hassles of getting through airports, jetlag, etc.
Getting a few minutes of good footage most likely required hours of drudgery. I suppose he had enough money that he could have lived the life of a true epicurean without all the hassles, but then he would have had to give up the limelight.
Maybe that choice was too difficult for him to make.
lololol!!
In the hours before news broke of Anthony Bourdain‘s apparent suicide, his girlfriend Asia Argento was active on social media.
The 42-year-old Italian actress shared videos and photos on her Instagram story throughout the day on Thursday, including one with the Rome geotag, seemingly indicating she was not in the same country as Bourdain at the time of his death. The host of CNN’s Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, who was 61, was found unresponsive in his hotel room in France on Friday morning by close friend and French chef, Eric Ripert, according to CNN. Both were filming an upcoming episode of Bourdain’s award-winning show.
Argento’s recent Instagram story, posted around three hours before Bourdain’s death was first reported, was a photo of herself wearing a ripped t-shirt that read: “F— EVERYONE.”
“You know who you are,” she captioned the post.
Argento’s Instagram story has since been deleted.

Woke to the headline on Drudge this morning. My question: Who?
I’ve been watching a lot of WWII documentaries and series recently The FR Virtue-and-Piety-Signalers on this thread remind me of many of the FNG stories of these programs.
In the midst of battle they hid and struggled with shooting the enemy. They believed it would tarnish their naïve, moralist image of themselves and the world. A just person in a just world believing ‘God will punish the evil’ so nothing was required of them.
Most never fired their weapons. They died in droves. More than that they got a lot of their teammates killed by shirking their duties, repeatedly giving the initiative to the enemy. To protect the unit seasoned troops would shun, beat the crap out of or get rid of them. Either way the only practical contribution of the self-absorbed neophytes was aiding the enemy -the very people trying to kill their units and them. It was a case of a good men doing nothing and evil prevailing -again and again and again.
Their commitment to preserving their pious self image and naïve view of the world was greater than their commitment to their fellow soldiers and the need to defeat an evil, murderous regime.
To a lesser extent we are dealing with the same issue here. Our enemy is neither civil nor moral. They work to repudiate our value, subjugate our freedoms and eliminate our liberties for the sole purpose of destroying our lives.
AB - In 70 years there will be no white people. There’s no other solution.
As if he weren’t such a horrid sicko and now this.
Exactly
These cruel celebratory comments are just plain discouraging
You can strike levity without cruelty but that takes talent
Earlier thoughtomator quipped
“Now he really is visiting parts unknown.....”
Or something like that which was witty tasteful and not so nasty
It made me chuckle
Free Republic has always had this dark side we all know that
There was an anti freeper site 15 years ago just for this behavior to bubble unrestrained
He had one episode where he ate BBQ with Ted Nugent in Texas. They had a suprisingly friendly and entertaining time together for 2 people with opposite political views.
As far as the shows of his I watched he always treated the people he interacted with with respect and grace.
I disagreed with his views almost 100% but think he had pretty good shows in general.
So what are you doing to fight the enemy beside posting your self-righteous moralizing on an anonymous forum?
An army of conscientious objectors won’t hack it.
Nasty comments about a dead guy is like soldiers shooting dead enemy.
It servers no useful purpose and just wastes bullets.
The time to engage the enemy is while they are still breathing.
Trash the dead if you want, but you’re just wasting keystrokes.
