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

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

And yet in Matthew 5:15

Gee, I wonder why I suspect Jesus's idea of "letting your light shine" was a far cry from praying pretentiously on TV? Maybe because the latter was explicitly mentioned as being hypocritical :roll:
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

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?

The 14th amendment?

This should be fun. Do explain your reasoning
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

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.

Dude, I'm not a prude or some sort of evangelical - it was just an example...

I suppose as an adult you have to be vigilant - kids shouldn't be exposed to that type of nonsense - I probably did as a kid as probably every kid - but they're not ready for that - progressives think they are.

It took you long enough..

IDK, for the same reasons progressives use the EPC as an argument - you should be well versed there if you're smart.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

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

much better than you, and now if you lose your temper it means nothing

Because, at least in my opinion, it was. One is praying to gather attention unto yourself, the other is praying to God. Again, IMO, we are not to broadcast our piety but neither are we to hide our faith.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

and that is the way it is, December 2013.

This is not the USA I grew up it. It sliding down a hill into the dump. Don't express your beliefs, it will get you fired.

Yes and don't dare disagree with a small minority of people. Even gays are saying that A&E overreacted!

I'll call it a wash because I don't know why the boys prayed at the end of their show, and I did like their program, a style I much prefer over the cat-fighting crap that passes as a reality show these days.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Someone else brought this up earlier and I've been thinking about it.

By suspending him, they are pretty much putting the entire show on hiatus?

They can't remove him from his own house in order to continue the show.....and they can't remove him from his own business.

One of us has been talking the topic, one of us has been off on weird, unrelated tangents. Guess which you are!

Hint: you are the latter!
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

I'm confused. So if I'm offended by a public personality, such as a TV star, because they said something that I found offensive enough to think they shouldn't be in the public eye, I'm being politically correct?

lol, I like the History channel, Nat Geo etc..... But I saw a show called "mafia wives" and that was the most disgusting ignorant crap I have ever seen - I watched it in amusement like I was at a zoo for like 2 minutes then turned the TV off....

Woman pulling one anothers hair and screaming..

WTF... Reality TV is Jerry Springer x2.

"you ripped out my hair bitch" haha

Could be. It depends upon what was said and the context in which it was said.

Well, I would have to ask, "whose politics?"

Here I will explain more why he is wrong. It will be shorter. No State Action.

One of the good ones on A&E that I haven't seen in a while is "Billy the Exterminator". I really liked that show but, like everything else, after a while, it gets too repetitive.

So you have no argument?

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

Freedom of speech doesn't mean you are immune to consequences. This man's right to freedom of speech wasn't violated.

True, but there is such a thing as "going overboard" or "blowing things way out of porportion" even in business. Still, alittle perspective goes a long way. So, let me throw this out there and see if folks will still hold the same views...

Remember when Gen. McCrystal was fired for giving an interview w/Rolling Stone magazine where he spoke out against Pres. Obama's handling of the War in Afghanistan? I wonder if people see this Duck Dynasty's celebraty's firing in much the same light because they parallal in comparison.

Both gave interviews to a private publishing company.

Both exercised their right to free speech and spoke out on an issue they felt and believed strongly about.

Both worked for somebody towhich they had to answer to for their actions.

Which firing was more or less justified?

Debate!

You do know about editting right? Personally I love that show. Lately the ones that have captured my imagination are Prospectors and Gem Hunters.

These channels have great stuff on top tens--like any type of gun, ship, tank, rifle, SAM, ICBM, etc..

Cool stuff on serial killers, mobsters, drug dealers, nazi scientists, nazi hunters, nazis and aliens,
war in the pacific, battle of the bulge, preppers-Ventura-like..

They do have some pretty good "real" science though .
