Stop with your dishonesty.
I have repeatedly shown the comparison. It exists.

Your assertions are nothing but a denial of Phil's convoluted biased thoughts.
Click to expand...
Now you are purposely just lying.
You have done no such thing, nor could you, as no comparison was made.

Your assertions are nothing but the manifestations of convoluted biased thoughts.

And you can continue to repeat what I say back to me all you want.
I enjoy it.
Coming from me it is factual.

Coming from you it is delusional absurdity.

So I am just laughing at your actions.
 
re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

Wrong?
Is that all you can say to Historical fact?

Even though the 1920's KKK openly opposed Gays,
they didn't compare them to Beastiality and Terrorists as DUCKkk did .

Obviously, a 16 year old boy cannot care for a family in this day and age. So in reality, you see nothing wrong with an older man marrying a 16-year old girl. Do you prefer she remain barefoot and pregnant or can she at least finish high school?

It's her choice as to her calling in life. I'm not sure what level of education Kay Robertson achieved, but helping her husband run a $400 million business empire makes that point seem rater silly.

Pretty lame that your Phil-defense has led you down the path where you now advocate Ephebophilia.
Click to expand...

Hah, you are sooooo stupid and hate filled. By your mind bogglingly idiotic interpretation of what an ephebophile means every teenager is an ephebophile. I mean seriously, why do you insist of making such idiotic statements? Step away from the keyboard. You are letting your hatred steer your brain into some astoundingly brainless attacks.

An ephebophilia is the sexual attraction to adolescent girls. An ephebophile remains perpetually attracted to adolescent girls. Marrying young and remaining sexually attracted to that one woman for her entire life is not ephebophilia.

Yes, I do. I think that sex in a committed marriage is better than sex outside of marriage, hence my statement that being married at 16 is preferable to sleeping around at 16.



Yes, that is what I am saying. I would rather they abstain from sex until marriage and get married in their 20s, but we aren't discussing what I think would be ideal.

There is something to be said for marrying young, though, since the older you get the more locked in your ways you become and the harder it gets to find someone to share your life with. If you marry young, you will develop your personality with the person you will be living the rest of your life with. There is something to said for marrying your high school sweetheart.



Same could be said for getting married at any age.



Your life's true pleasures, and the path to true happiness, reside in the lifelong commitments.
Click to expand...


Well, we'll have to disagree on this one. I can't think of something that would derail a 16-yr-old's life more than getting married at age 16 aside from being a single parent at age 16 (yes, of course, barring tragic illness/death).

I personally found, having married a guy I met in college, that we were too young; we ended up drifting different ways and becoming different people and eventually divorced in late 30s. Would have been better to have broken up post-college. Of course, other people's results may vary.

Re "Your life's true pleasures, and the path to true happiness, reside in the lifelong commitments" - This would be a discussion for a different forum- but really? true happiness is making a lifetime commitment? To what - a person? a career? a philosophy?

I know I have changed over the years, and if I hadn't changed my relationship or modified my philosophies, I doubt I'd be as happy as I am now. In terms of career, I've modified a bit, but haven't changed a lot; but I know a lot of people find great joy in totally changing careers midlife

Anyway, not really for this forum; just found that line interesting.

And we'll have to disagree. I'd much rather 16 yr olds have protected sex than that they marry - whether someone their age (which means all the problems supporting themselves) or someone older.

Calamity...I've been following along with your posts. Phil Robertson is a bigot and racist. And he's all of the other things that you've described with regard to his religious fanaticism. If what Phil Robertson is claiming to represent his beliefs are based on tenet in his religion...and other within his religion aren't speaking out against his comments...then they are as bigoted and racist as he is.

And as I posted, the whole family imagine of being "swamp hicks" is a sham. The whole "cotton pickin -poor white trash" gig is a sham.

The REALITY SHOW isn't a reality...it's about a made up set of characters, which aren't in fact swamp hicks, that attract a lot of viewers, which makes the network a lot of money.

Phil pissed in his peanut butter. Now the network is pissed and rightfully so. The network pays a lot of money to the Robertson to pretend to be as they're portrayed on the show.

You clearly know your own thoughts, sadly they are not in accord with reality.

Yes you did. You admitted that I said nothing in regards to the history you referred. So your accusation that I had was wrong and you admitted it.
That is the only way it can be interpreted within the context of what was being said.
If you meant something else, you should have chose your words better.

There is a big difference between a disagreement and someone being factually wrong and continuing to assert the false information.

wow lol

ok so its confirmed that he made some moronic, bigoted, ignorant, uneducated and offensive statements :shrug:

now what?is he being reprimanded some how and are people bother by that?
or is he not being reprimanded some how and people are bothered by that, seems he is being punished

sorry im being lazy lol

anyway if he is being reprimanded for his statements all i can say is well duh? lol

the dummy said some very stupid stuff and "typically" in his line of work you have conduct clauses in your contract and what not and if you violate them this is what happens.

now if he had no such catch all in his contract then i guess theres an issue but making moronic bigoted statements like those is going to have repercussions, thats just common sense.

You're suggesting he should have lied?

I think the issue could have been avoided if the interviewer hadn't set him up. He HAD to know how Robertsin was going to answer the question and if he did, he shouldn't have asked the question.

The Libbos might want to temper their outrage. The Duck Dynasty vote has already gotten one United States congressman elected. It would suck for the Libbos if every single member of theDuck block voted against a Democrat, because of the way the Libbos treated Phil Robertson.

Making a big deal out of this is a bad business decision for A&E and a bad political move for the Libbos.
Click to expand...

I don't think he was suggesting Phil lie, but think twice or even three times before giving an interview that would damage his employer. People do this all the time, even those who are not on prominent cable networks.

I do fund raising work and my name is on materials asking for support. As such, were I to speak out on political issues in my community, I could easily offend those who don't agree who could then rescind their support. So I keep shut. Is my freedom of speech being harmed? I guess that is up for debate, but I can live with it.

So can I, and I am working with a strong directive to refer everything to my employer's public info officer. But none of us knows Robertson's contract details. For example, was he required to vet potential interviews? What is A&E's policy on having media-rep "handlers" to "assist" its stars with interviews? Etc.
