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

But it isn't the truth because a number of countries have legalized SSM and they are no closer to legalizing beastiality or pedophilia.

Who is advocating legislation here...

You progressives act like opposition to an idea automatically translates that person into someone that would support a law against that idea - when that is not even remotely the case.

No, there was no such comparison made. he listed things he thought were sins, a overly broad catagory like "crime"

Unfortunately, it's all too often the case. We've seen federal laws, state Constitutional amendments, and local ordinances all put into place to support legalized discrimination against homosexuals.

And I only posted that like 6 hours ago. As I said, you are free to interpret what he said however you wish. I found it disrespectful. I can't even come out at my job without having to worry about getting fired and he can pretty much tell everyone he believes I am going to hell and he will likely make a fortune for doing it and be a conservative media darling for the next decade. None of that is lost on me.

So going back to this post I notice it isn't even in the same thread. Your so pointlessly outraged you are faulting people for not being aware of every post you make on this board. As I said, develop some thicker skin and accept the fact that not everyone is going to agree or condone how your live your life.

are you seriously equating some asshole expressing his opinion to work place discrimination?

He is free to express his opinion and make millions doing it no matter who he offends. By contrast, I am not even free to acknowledge at work that I have a boyfriend of 3 years and I have to lie at work when I am asked about whether or not I have a significant other because I could easily be fired. So yeah, I am comparing an asshole expressing his opinion to "work place discrimination" because he certainly has a lot more freedom than I do.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

As I said, FOX is leading with Duck and free speech, just after their usual bash on ACA, gov't, and the phoniness of Fox's high-and-mighty attitude about secularism..And Bill-O must repeat three times his bash on ACA for his lemmings..Can I be rude O'Reilly interrupts Carville in his first response?
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

This is a most idiotic decision on A&E's part.

I never said it was in the same thread or you even needed to be aware of it. I was pointing out that I didn't disagree with you on any matter except on whether or not he was being disrespectful. You are so heated under the collar that you are making up my intentions faster than you can post them.

So you think a tv red-neck should be held to the same professional standards as a journalist? Think about that for a moment. It's like arguing the Potus would be ok twerking on Robin Thicke's **** because Miley Cyrus did it

No, I am responding to some stupid remark you made because I wasn't aware of something you posted elsewhere

I wouldn't have liked them because I recognize Christians sin on a regular basis, but only care about religious sins when it allows them to control someone else's life? That doesn't make sense.

The difference is that most Christians repent of their sins and ask God's forgiveness and help to make them a more godly person. The gays celebrate their sin, promote their sin, won't repent, and sin further by denigrating those who don't agree with them.

But your position makes no sense: the problem in your case is the fact that you can be fired over lifestyle choices that harm no one and that have no impact on your job. Getting pointlessly outraged over some guy expressing his opinion does nothing to address that

I watched Martin Bashir once. He annoyed the ever-living piss out of me. I didn't even finish watching his segment. I think it's a boon for MSNBC to have canned him... even aside from the factual comment about how a slave owner had his slaves defacate in another slaves mouth. He's a provocative idiot. Calling modern punditry journalism would be the flaw of your question. IMO, comparing Martin Bashir to that duck guy is pretty fair because I think that Martin Bashir probably has about the same level of integrity and class as that guy.

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

sex, drugs, rock-and-roll----break every rule in every book and then self-pronounce that you are born-again..
You are now the judge over all others in society..
Even O'Reilly is condemning Puke for condemning others and arguing with Ingraham, who is a McCarthyite lemming .

As long it protects everyone and not just a politically correct few, I would be all for it.

which is irrelevant to professional standards not being constant to "all working adults". And while punditry has it's issues, I'm not sure I'm ready to believe they are affording the same professional expectations as a reality-tv star

I am happy you apparently are in a place in your life where you are free to quit your job and you have the financial resources to up and move to another state but I am not quite so fortunate. I don't think most people are.
