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

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

I can see why you would not be interested in what men do. Like hunting, fishing, fourwheeling, golfing.

Got to admit none of those activities ever floated my boat. I greatly preferred to play football, basketball, baseball and run marathons. I still run 2,000 miles every year and have done so since 1976.

I guess its your turn on the dick measuring contest.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Then I'd assume you aren't one of the people who get mad when people are mocked for their sexual orientations, or athiests being mocked for not believing in God among many many examples I could give? People have the "right" to mock, so then simply having that right makes it ok to do?

Sexual orientation is not an opinion, it's a fact of life. Discriminationg against someone because of it is against the law. Atheism is the default position before indoctrination. (usually parental) I suppose atheists are open to accusations of lacking imagination, since they don't have a friend of that persuasion.

Why would GQ even get into that line of questioning?

mocking and discriminating are not the same thing. To say that its ok to mock people who are views or anything you disagree with is ok and your right, but then to turn around and say its wrong and discrimination to do it for things you agree with is idiotic and hypocritical. The double standard idea that you seem to be trying to justify is not going work.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

You brought the "deth penalty for homosexuals" into this.

No you did when you compared another poster's views to that of a group of people who execute homosexuals. Like I said earlier, you have no clue what you are talking about.

I accuse him of having the same mentality like the Taliban because just like them he uses his holy book to justify any of his actions and rejects all counters against him as "unchristian" and therefor not even worth listening.

Which is like saying someone is the same as the Nazis because they want the trains to run on time. You seem to have no grasp of what it is you are saying and how what you say is likely to be interpreted by those around you. If you don't mean to insinuate that someone believes that all who disagree with them should be murdered then don't compare them to a group that thinks everyone who disagrees with them should be murdered.

He combines politics and religion and therefor believes that he has the right to claim absolute truth in political debates and to dehumanise and potentialy criminalise all those who oppose him.

Oh FFS. EVERYONE combines their religious beliefs (or lack there of) with their politics. The rest of what someone might "potentially do" with their religious beliefs is just goblins of your imagination.

So he is a fanatic and a fascist. Just like the Taliban.

No, he's not.

I was talking about his mentality which is similar to that of the Taliban, not about the executing of homosexuals, which he, as a christian fanatic, probably would do if he could.

Strawman.

What a bunch of idiotic hogwash.

I comapred his political mentality, the way in which he claims to have a supreme claim truth in politics on the basis of a religion and can therefor reject everyone else as evil, just like the Taliban.

Oh FFS. EVERYONE combines their religious beliefs (or lack there of) with their politics.

But not everybody tries to inforce his religious dogmas on everyone and demonises those who eject his religious dogmas.

The rest of what someone might "potentially do" with their religious beliefs is just goblins of your imagination.

you made a funny.

or tried.



No, he's not.

Yes he is, for reasons I have listed and you seem to refuse to adress.

Are you really comparing Muslim terrorists to this guy on TV? When a person generalizes and make broad assumptions coupled with a polar opposite comparison and labels it all the same, it makes that person appear ignorant. My suggestion is don't do it.

we now line in an age where people like him feel comfortable with their own brand of hate speech

atleast they only do it on the internet. being cowardly and all.

If he is a fanatic who sees every word of the bible as actual law to be followed, then yes he is.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Nothing could be further from my mind - thank god. But you made it really clear what your catty comments were all about so I figured to shove it right back in your face.

HAHAHAHAH!! Quod erat demonstrandum.


Strawman.

Hah, add "strawman" to the list of things to don't actually understand but use anyway.

What a bunch of idiotic hogwash.

Dude you already lost this argument. In this very post you went ahead and said you think he wants to murder homosexuals because he is Christian. You need to stop typing. It's making you look like an idiot.

But not everybody tries to inforce his religious dogmas on everyone and demonises those who eject his religious dogmas.

You knbow who is doing that in this thread? You are. You JUST SAID that you think because he is Christian he wants to murder homosexuals. YOU are in the worng here you are just too much of a knucklehead to figure that out. Fix your own brain before you start pointing fingers.



you made a funny.

or tried.


No, I was being serious.




Yes he is, for reasons I have listed and you seem to refuse to adress.

No, the only definitive evidence you have providing towards such an accusation has indicted you, not him.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

If he is a fanatic who sees every word of the bible as actual law to be followed, then yes he is.

actually the distinction between not randomly killing people is a pretty strong one, not to mention not even suggesting anything akin to legal execution. I know some people like to ignore these differences when discussion radical and fundamentalists, but they are pretty important

Hate speech???? Coming from someone defending a guy who demonises everyone who opposes him as the evil in person.

And some southerner savage who is more scared of the Middle East but more scared of California and France is the last person to call anyone a coward.

I think he honestly can't see the glaring hypocrisies in his arguments. He compares a guy to the Taliban and then accuses that guy of demonizing those who don't agree with him.

How do you penetrate such illogical drivel?

You are the one who said that someone must want to murder homosexuals because he is Christian. YOU are the one spreading hate speech.

It is against my own beliefs to report you for a forum infraction but don't be surprised if you get banned from this thread because someone surely will report you and you are WAY over the line.

It probably (realistically) is a generalization he believes is true - misconceptions about other nationalities and cliches really do live in people and it's our job to chip away at them. In this case, it's about "christina fanatics" whoever and whatever that is... :shrug:
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

That is one aspect you Conservative minded folks never really have to think about. You don't think coworkers ask if I have a significant other? You don't think they ask why I am not married or if I am planning to have kids? I have a boyfriend of three years. Do you think I keep his photo on my desk? I have to lie to my coworkers and boss when they ask those kinds of questions.

That is the problem of viewing homosexuality purely in terms of sex. You folks have no grasp of what it is like to have to hide your most important relationship from everyone you work with day to day.

You presume a great deal. For all you know, I'm the cutest little stud you've ever seen. ;)

But to my point, some of my colleagues are gay. It's not an issue in our workplace; it's just an ordinary "is." Nobody cares. That's why I asked where you worked.

I know people who've been out since they were 16 who have never faced discrimination from employers, coworkers, or customers and who have never hid who they are. I don't understand why you think you have to lie. Or why it should ever even come up.

Te futueo et caballum tuum

Where does pathetic arrogants come from ith which you claim to know what others understand and not understand.

Dude you already lost this argument. In this very post you went ahead and said you think he wants to murder homosexuals because he is Christian. You need to stop typing. It's making you look like an idiot.

Nope. I said that if he literaly followed the bible as a book of law he probably would murder homosexuals (and many others) if he could.

You knbow who is doing that in this thread? You are. You JUST SAID that you think because he is Christian he wants to murder homosexuals. YOU are in the worng here you are just too much of a knucklehead to figure that out. Fix your own brain before you start pointing fingers.



No you backwards savage. I didnt write because he is a christian but because he is a fanatic.


No, the only definitive evidence you have providing towards such an accusation has indicted you, not him.

No. Because you ignore the utterly disgusting and totalitarian way in which he rejects all opposing his opinion as "antichristian". Hence a fanatic.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

not just hate speech. cowardly hate speech done anonymously.

I live in Linz 4020, in the house opposing the Thalia on the Götheplatz, in the state of Upperaustria.

Come an knock on my door, but you`d better bring a white flag!
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

All I can tell you is for the few seconds I have seen it ...

Oh, so you've never watched the show...

and that would be many times

Um, yeah, sure...:roll:

it just looks like garbage.

Why? Articulate....Why does it look like garbage to you? You can't say that can you, because your saying that you've seen the show, is a lie, isn't it?

I have no interest in it at all.

Then you shouldn't be commenting, because you have NO idea what you are talking about...But don't let that stop you, it never has.

Maybe its great.

It's a good show. I prefer medical, or police drama's to reality tv.

Maybe the characters are riveting.

Riveting? Nah....Funny, wholesome, good values, and entertaining. But riveting? I wouldn't go that far...But I know you are exaggerating for effect....

Maybe its the best thing since Shakespeare wrote HAMLET.

No one said that either, so why resort to hysterical strawmen?

Its just not my cup of tea.

Ok, we've established that

You've never watched it.

You don't know anything about it.

But you have pre judged it.

And you say it's not your "cup of tea".....

So, why are you in here again?
