'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E (W: 742)

Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Praying in public for all the world to see is just tacky showmanship, something Christ spoke out against, btw.

Matthew 6:5 - Prayer -

And yet in Matthew 5:15
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;
15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
16 "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

So let me get this straight. Its ok for Duck man to spew hate speech but if anyone fires back at him with the same hate speech they are wrong?

What dimension are you in? Seriously the blame lies at the feet of him and nobody else, stop deflecting.

Unclean hands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When you hurt and attack people you lose your right to defense. If you punch somebody in the face they have the right to punch you back.
He didn't spew hate speech.

He talked about what is viewed as sin by his religious beliefs. Do you deny that homosexuality is viewed as a sin by Christians and Christian Religious Scripture?

Im not Christian, and I don't give two ****s about gay folks gettin' married or bein' gay or living gay, etc. Don't care. I do care about Political Correctness gone amuck though......
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

I don't care about who people screw or their position on gayness - it's such a non-issue to me and that pisses progresses off - they get so bent when people don't take their position and don't promote their ideas or be a "gay promoting warrior" in this case.

The best part is that they're now attempting to claim a business (such as A&E) has the right to drop the guy because of what he says - I agree on that completely but I also think it's wrong and misguided to do so.. Yet these are the same people that claim that a baker DOESN'T have the right to refuse a cake to a gay couple.

Then of course they try to pretend they're reasonable..

Of course they're probably baffled as to why I called them "gay warriors."

Your primary mistake is in thinking that people take you seriously. Everything else follows
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

No one was attacked by one fellow loosely quoting a biblical scripture in a magazine article. However, since he gave the interview he has been attacked. Calling someone names is not defense.

And of course you spent most of your post, again, attacking this fellow. Spewing hate and calling names when he did nothing more than express his biblically based personal feelings (that you disagree with) in a magazine article.

I'm not going to argue this anymore as its getting boring. This same tactic has been going on throughout this thread, and that is to turn it around and play the victim card. Notice how nobody is talking about how the LGBT community feels about this? Nobody gives a **** about the horrible things Duck man said. You're all concerned about his rights, about how he is being treated, he is the victim now. :roll: He is the victim of hate speech.

This is the difference between conservatives and liberals. When we do wrong we will admit it and admonish people for their slights. However when the shoe is on the other foot you guys defend the wrong to the death. This is holding us back as a country because you guys won't be honest when you should.

I am saying that if you have an issue with intolerance, being intolerant is not any type of a solution. Hate does not fix hate. Ignorance doesnt fix ignorance. If you are being an intolerant ass to someone, regardless of who started it, doesnt change that you are an intolerant ass.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Well then you better rally to have the Bible withdrawn from all public libraries and iinstitution. Hell, just ban it. Because that was the source of his quote.

Where have I called for anything to be withdrawn or banned? And your bible quote does not specifgically mention bestiality nor even refer to it except possibly roundabout, nor does it mention terrorists.

Your primary mistake is that you think people empathize with your feelings...

You see - you're spewing your feelings and I'm spewing facts.

This issue is about homosexuality to you and to me it's about free speech...

Your arrogance makes me laugh to boot...
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

No, the issue for you is that you are unaware you are merely upholding one form of political correctness while demonizing the other. The least you could do is be honest.

I can see you haven't actually bothered to understand what I wrote...

I will give you a hint, it's not about homosexuality. In fact I defended the robertsons on a number of posts.

It's only about legality and societal ethics.

As far my feelings. I have communicated them to exactly one poster. Caine, who was interested enough to state disagreement.

You amuse me though

Eye-for-an-eye philosophy doesn't help any situation...

Retribution is not logical, and an eye-for-an-eye is retribution.

What are the horrible things that he said?

That he prefers a woman's vagina over a man's anus?

That homosexuality, beastiality, idolatry, male prostitution, being greedy, being a drunk, being a swindler, being a slanderer, and adultery are all sins?

What was so horrible?

There is no legality here - other than the simple fact progressives are obsessed with shoving their crazy logic and social issues down others throats through the judicial system.

I'm not making this a legal issue, I'm just employing your own tactics against you using the same logic...

It kinda sucks when the table shifts doesn't it?

You're blind to all of that and continue to attempt to legitimize your position - and that position is that regulating speech is ok or acceptable just as long as you and other progressives concur......

The first part is absoultely absurd and he says no horrible things about gays. Some folks are always going to consider the behavior a sin, if you can't live with that you can't live in the world. Doesn't mean they hate the sinner. You however are just fine countering with hate speech, you use it seemlessly without even realising it. Your hypocrisy is here for all to see.

The second part is, plain and simple, lies as you have so clearly demonstrated with your posts here.

You aren't making a legal argument yet you are using my logic?

Dude you just contradicted yourself. Heh
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Apparently A&E agree with you. By suspending him, they initiated a debate.

Actually, they're not in agreement with me at all. A&E/TLC have gotten rich off stereotypes. Same goes for History. It's absolutely disgusting that these channels have no interest in actually living up to their name. I actually prefer Nazi-crazy History channel long before the new "living history" History Channel. It's sad.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Flip it, I will make a legal argument - this is discrimination.

Which statute or regulation was violated?
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

The whole Robertsons family should man up and tell A&E to go pound sand.

Yeah, that worked well for Charlie Sheen.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Which statute or regulation was violated?

We will just play with the Equal Protection Clause for right now - you know the same **** you progressives use to justify just about everything...

Of course the justification would probably be breach of contract - which in turn could be argued as coercion.

This guy (if he wants to sue) has a valid legal claim..

Statute? lol.

You do realize I could sue you for no reason? and it would take years before a judge could legally call it nonsense?

Nor is your lack of knowledge about business law and history.

Laws are only as good as the judges that interpret them. The Colorado Bakery decision would have never happened here

IT didn't work well for CBS, that show died after Charlie left
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Meanwhile if some half naked woman were making out on TV at 7AM over a bowl of cereal when your kids were expecting cartoons these progressives wouldn't be ashamed at all - they would call that progress..

I just think it's amazing how some **** is tolerated and other stuff isn't, and progressives control that...

I just think pointing fingers is wrong when progressives don't even see the faults in their own logic - and their logic is mainstream - it's called political correctness.

I'm more boggled now that they cant accept what I'm telling them.

This happens all the time on both sides. It ain't new, y'all just never remember when the otherside faced repercussions for statements and pretend to be the sole victim. This was a company decision made for company profit, nothing else.

That show was stupid anyways.... "Ducky" from pretty in pink and Charlie Sheen - seriously?

The entire concept of the show wasn't even realistic....
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

And yet in Matthew 5:15

LOL....that passage isn't talking about praying in public. It is talking about doing good deeds and living your life as an example to those around you. What in God's name makes you believe that it is about public prayer?

That case has zero to do with this. Do you know how to discuss a topic?
