Pre. Before. This time before that time. Happy pre. Unhappy post. You're factually incorrect.

Pre is a time period being asked and answered to. Not a comparison.
You are factually wrong and have been shown to be so many times over.
Saying there was, is dishonest, and an untruth.

If I say pre Romo, the cowboys were great. I'm comparing them to post Romo. One time compared with another. If I added, much like Phil did, that pre Romo's freewheeling, interception ridden performances, cowboy fans were happy, I'm making a comparison. The word pre means before. This usually involves time, but it is before something happened. That means a comparison with what was post what happened. You waste a lot if time trying to get what us simple and clear.

:doh Still trying to twist it huh. What a shame.

You made no comparison even if you intended to.
There is no comparative language present.
All you did is speak of a time period. Pre-Romo.
You clearly did not say they were not great Post-Romo. You did not say as compared to.
There was no comparison.

Wrong.
What is simple and clear is that there was no comparison.

Again this is what he said.
Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.”​
That is him speaking of his personal experience of the time. Nothing more.

No, it wouldn't. If you say they were happy before welfare, you've made a comparison. I'm sorry you guts keep trying make excuses for him.

Again, false. I could say you were happy before lunch and happy after... am I comparing the two? Nope!

If I say you were HAPPIER before lunch then I am comparing.

Yes, you are. Comparison also includes similarities.

Beside the point of contention on whether he was comparing or not, do you have anything to prove that as a young man this wasn't his experience?

I haven't claimed that, though I suspect it is selected memories through the lens of bigotry. The point is he suggests that they are unhappy due to the things in the list. It is a comparison, and was the second he went with the pre welfare framework.

Yes it was. No question.

Similarly he advocated marrying underaged girls. And, surprise surprise, Christians defended that statement too.

Oh, but, by implication you have.

So, you have your conclusion that he is a bigot, therefore he must be comparing the two time periods in a bigoted way...That must be a convenient way to go through life Joe.

Well, I hope he learned his lesson. Treat hostile reporters, and hostile, and not grant them interviews.

Wrong.

The only the folks who think there was a comparison are those who are delusionally biased.

They've been posted over, and over, and over....The problem arises in the twisting of those words to make a faux outrage become fact for some....But, if you really don't care that much then might I suggest a topic you care more about, and leave this one for those who are involved in discussion rather than just littering the board with your pseudo intelligence?
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Yea, like you are busy or working or something. Least you are funny.

Or weigh your words carefully. Understand the world is larger than our personal experience. Maybe know a little history. Allow that you may miss a lot looking firm the outside. It was a foolish statement.

However, he was asked about his personal experience..Only your argument is trying anything, and everything to expand it further...

BTW, Have you got that contract clause yet?
