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

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

The myth is that magical sky fairies preside over us and will cast judgement against homosexuals for nothing more than for whom they are attracted to.

The myth is that the New Testament is a myth. When you can back up the myth claim you'll gain some credibility on the matter.

The fact is, Ducky broke his contract by opening his big, bigoted mouth.

You ~ I know for a fact he violated his contract

Absolutely false, I never said I know for a fact such a clause exists in his contract

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

Well, let's face it, half the outrage isn't his comments, but rather his religion. If he was a Muslim, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

I am sure some of what you suspect may have some truth to it. For me, I have never commented on what he said or his politics or his religion. All I was doing is commenting on lack of any appeal for me involving the show itself.

lol

The fact is, even though I don't have a ****ing clue what is or is not in his contract, I know for a fact that he violated it :laughat: :failpail:
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

I agreed with MSNBC's decision to get rid of Brashir. I already said that.

But they didn't get rid of Bashir, he resigned.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

If you KNOW that he did not violate his contract....BRING IT ON.


you haven't seen his contract and yet you claim he violated it. the onus is on YOU to "bring it on"

When you can back up your myth claim, you'll gain some credibility. But regardless, this thread is not about that, but allowing the ignorant to say ignorant things.

Are you suggesting he woke up one morning and decided to resign on his own accord?

Of course not. You seem to be having trouble distinguishing differences today. There is a difference between resigning and being fired.

I'm not going to attempt to prove a negative to bail your sorry ass out of a debate when instead I can point out that you have egg all over your face.

hey everyone, look at this guy ^

I understand that these kinds of actions by corporations against contract employees is a mysterious thing to libertarian/conservative/business oriented posters that like to believe these action cannot be justified.

Remain confused....it is your prerogative.
 
I think the real irony on this story that nobody has said is that the new unwritten rule of Christianity is don't ask, don't tell.

you Christians can keep your backwards beliefs in regards to homosexuality. that's your right. you just can't tell anyone about them anymore.

:lamo

and i'm sorry to laugh at you, because I think it's bad policy and only further divides people. but that is exactly how this is beginning to play out.

but as an atheist, I would be lying if I didn't say a part of me doesn't kind of like to see it. It's like the smoking bans that went on. I disagreed, I fought vocally against it, but it helped me personally.

What if I had no religious knowledge yet thought the same of Gays, Adulterers, Thieves, Animal humpers, etc. Would that still make you feel 'giddy'?

IOW, you've got nothing. be a man and admit you were talking out of your ass and made a claim you can't possibly back up.

You believe that a mistake by me.....changes the reality of situation?

OK!....go ahead and do your touch-down dance!
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Not really. It's a thought association. It automatically throws that particular sin in with the others. However, homosexuality has become associated with only some *certain* sins, sins which the speakers happens to proclaim to not violate. It's a way of lumping together, say, pedophilia, bestiality, or rape.

If you want to practice this, all you have to do is subtract a few key ingredients and put in others. "Gun owners are part of a national sickness like racism, rape, and murder."

He was specifically asked a question about sin in an interview, he answered the way many Christians would answer. So your problem is not with him so much as with Christianity?

As for your gun analogy, your exact example has been used I believe.

Yeah...sure....personal contract clauses.......don't exist!

Tell us....what did A&E base their suspension upon?

Christianity has the ability to change viewpoints, as it has on many occasions (including this one). So I do not completely indict Christianity, no.

Of course it has been used. I did that to point out how folks on your side of the fence may take a similar remark aimed at them.

let's not bring theology into the debate.

as an athiest, the debate would center around the terms knowledge and religion, and how they don't relate

Pressure and threats from GLAAD and HRC.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

He was saying that these things are all sins, not that they are all the same...Good grief...Yours is a perfect example of how GLAAD distorted this.
Saying them all in the same breath makes it kind of hard to argue that he meant them to be taken differently :roll:



Oh and you don't? Really? That speaks volumes.
Obviously not exactly the same, but close enough for the entertainment company to be justified in getting rid of them both.

You tell us, you're the one asserting to have the knowledge. And no, not all contracts have what you call "personal contract clauses".
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Yeah...sure....personal contract clauses.......don't exist!

sure they exist. I signed one for my current job. fact is, you have no idea what is or is not in his contract with A&E. you were talking out your ass and now you are embarrassed because you've been caught with your pants down and can't back it up.


Tell us....what did A&E base their suspension upon?

I have no idea. I'm not the one who made any claims about it.
