I've never known or heard of anyone calling all white people white trash. It has a specific meaning regarding style, ignorance and a general lack of effort to better oneself. Duck dude proved that part of his case, he is white trash.

This is a very accomplished man.

How do you think he could better himself, and he appears he is happy with his life.

You can't get much better than that.

Robertson family statement as of 8:30 pm last night...

"We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. The family has spent much time in prayer since learning of A&E's decision. We want you to know that first and foremost we are a family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word. While some of Phil’s unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart” and “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Phil would never incite or encourage hate. We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right. We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty. Again, thank you for your continued support of our family."

A&E really screwed themselves here.

Yea, sure. Gonna live forever? You sound like our service manager. Run bike swim run bike swim, still the most pissed off stressed out angry person I have ever met. Pounds his fist on the counter, just because the phone rings.
Seems you runner dudes are just ticking time bombs.
Oh, and before you think I have never played. I was a 4A track finalist at the Florida Relays in 80-81, starting safety for 3 years in high school. Still workout plenty just don't see the reason to run 26.2 miles to say I did it.

It "morphing" into other stuff. He has these wild fantasies about homosexuality, yet you claim he doesn't want to know anything about it.

You included the B and T in your comment.

There is no such thing as bi-sexuality, that is a choice.

A transgender person does not have to change sexes, that is a choice.

Do you disagree?

People are born desiring who they desire, who knows why, but the other two are choices.

Intellectually. He's running around like a child spewing nonsense based on fear and hysteria, dressed in strange clothing and basically attention whoring everywhere he goes. He needs to grow up.

I watch the show. It is funny, especially Uncle Si.

We all have people like that in our family, well most of us, so we can relate.

Speaking of hypocrisy. I notice that the same people defending Duck Guy, arguing that A&E should not have dropped his show for saying homos are like beast lovers, by some miracle of the ether also happen to be the exact same bunch who screamed for Martin Bashir's head when he suggested someone should **** down Palin's throat. The RW hypocrisy never seems to end, it seems.

How do you know "most Christians don't repent"? But we do know that homosexuals won't, because they promote it and are actually proud of the sin.

There are some legitimate reasons for divorce in the Bible, such as adultery. However, I miss seeing the adultery pride and divorce pride parades.

exactly. you would need to see the terms of her agreement.

go tell duece that. he seems to think he knows it all.

now back to the original point. the 1964 civil rights act has clouded these issues. a contract has to also be legal.. you can't have a contract that says converting to Christianity violates the term of a contract.
Click to expand...
Um, actually...I think you could. Private contracts can have all kinds of clauses.

But again, the Duck guy surely had a personal conduct clause that holds a person to not damage the program via personal action. It doesen't stop him from doing stupid things, it just say that his azz will be canned if he does damage the brand.

Don't tell me you are against the free market?

Glad to hear you are active and good luck to you in staying active through your life.

Marathon training taught me a great deal about life, about working hard and about not measuring things by the shortest time but by the long haul. It helped me in oh so many ways over the last thirty plus years. It teaches you patience and it teaches you pacing. All but a very few elite Marathon runners do not run by a watch but for us the calendar is the most important thing to keep our eyes on. That is a good rule in life as well.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

I've just read that the 4th season is in the can and A&E intends to run it with Phil in the episodes. By the time they're ready to film the fifth season people will have moved on and forgotten about the subject.

so you see a similarity between a show centered around current events and informing the audience of world events and a comedy about eccentric people

cookoo. cookoo.

So how did Phil's answer to GQ, "Damage the brand"? Oh, and it is not A&E's brand....It's Phil's.

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

The Robertson family just drew a line in the sand with A&E -- NO PHIL, NO SHOW ... and says they are already talking to the cable channel about possibly pulling the plug on "Duck Dynasty."

The family issued a statement saying, "As a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of 'Duck Dynasty.'"

They also say they're "disappointed" that Phil Robertson was suspended by A&E just for expressing his religious beliefs ... which, they point out, is his "constitutionally protected right."

Fun fact: "Duck Dynasty" is the highest rated cable reality TV show ever.

Way to go A&E.

Maybe you're confusing your homos. It could well be that those who are "proud of their sin" are simply trying to let others now that there is no shame in being Gay. Maybe only Gay Christians are guilt ridden and stuck hiding their sexuality----seems to me the Rev Ted haggard fits that mold.

Plenty of people promoting open-marriages out there.
