    Go to church, or whatever passes for church in your neutered nation that's been sanitized of personal liberties by runaway progressives, and pay attention.

    You wanna know why there's no chapters of GLAAD in Uganda, Afghanistan or Saudia Arabia?

    Most folks have an aversion to having their head separated from their bodies.

    Why does saying a particular sex act is morally wrong equal hatred?

    Because the agenda is to normalize & mainstream the sexual deviation of 2-3% of the population. One way to do that is to demonize their opponents as possessed by slavering hatred.

    Honestly, this kind of shit is just ridiculous. It's like watching little Billy say a mean word to another kid and expelling him from school; meanwhile, little Ralph is beating the living shit out of the same kids but whoa, can't so much as slap him on the wrist 'cause it might hurt his feelings! It's total bullshit.

    Or rather because one is in this country, and so nominally under our control, while the other is in some third world shit hole. Certainly they have zero political power in this country.

    Absolutely incorrect. Google the phrase "CAIR PAC" to see just how wrong you are.

    That's a possibility, could even be a ratings gambit, since homophobes like Dayton might flock to watch the season just filmed, while the rest of us who have barely any awareness of the show might also tune in out of curiosity.

    As for Robertson, either he's back for the 5th season (his suspension coincides with a non-shooting period), or he goes on to celeb status within a certain subset of Christianity and does very well on the book and lecture circuit.

    However, my understanding is that he's an ordained minister, and the show served as a platform for expressing a certain message about living with Christ. If his remarks result in him losing the audience, he might make money preaching to the faithful, but he won't have easy access to potential converts. So in that context, his remarks were pretty stupid.

    I'm convinced it depends on his med cycle. He flips like a metronome from raging right-wing lunatic to raging left-wing lunatic. You watch, he'll show up next week to bitch about white privileged heteros attacking gay marriage rights. Which is not a lunatic stand for him to take, but his special delivery will nonetheless place him with the fringe. He's a moderate by averages, but an outlier by any specific issue.

    And then we've got the folks who are JUST smart enough to realize that the kind of open prejudice practiced by Dayton and Apostle won't win them any allies, so they couch theirs in "how dare you criticize this man for his opinion," "blah blah blah blah political correctness," and "but the MUSLIMS are worse!"

    He's the one person here who's earned a permanent place on my ignore list. There's nothing to be learned from any Fleshlight posts, nor any hint of entertainment value to be found therein. He doesn't even provoke entertainment value from others. He's too scattershot and too obviously a bald-faced liar to even give rise to entertaining insults thrown his way.

    So much herp. It's all so orchestrated, A&E knows that the shelf life of Duck Dynasty is about to run its course, this gives them an out. They also know that now the guys are Good Christian Martyrs, and the flock will buy up the A&E licensed merchandise like fat kids at a Twinkie buffet. The Robertson's won't be going anywhere, they can ride the hate the homos train for the next decade, cutting ribbons at Bass Pro Shops and speaking about their "persecution" to sell out crowds. :$:

    It's that whole Protestant "a sin is a sin unless it's blaspheming the Lord, then it's a SIN" thing. And remember, he's saying this as an admitted recovering alcoholic and adulterer.

    Sure, it's bigotry, but it seems a little low grade compred to the outroar it's caused.

    But then again, Paula Dean was ruined for admitting to using the N word thirty years ago, so I guess celebs need to either keep their opinions to themselves or be prepared to face the consequences nowadays.

    that's usually it right there.
    it's a essentially bearing false witness by claiming harm from their nature. calling someone "immoral" generally only serves the purpose of creating animosity against them.

    Unless you're a liberal celebrity, of course, and then you can spew bile-green shit day and night with no repercussions, unless it's against a liberal pet demographic. Even then, you get to do it for months before anything happens. The real bigotry in this episode is against Robertson on account of he's not Muslim, he's not a big enough celebrity, and not a liberal celebrity. Were he any of those things, they wouldn't have said shit to him.

    I got a little lost in the quote pyramid... are you talking about the Duck Dynasty guy or Castle? 'Cause I'm pretty sure Castle is still drinking aftershave and getting his head squished between thunder thighs.

    :sob:

    I swear, Liet is the most useless cunt in the history of the internet. :dayton:

    Here's a clue fucktard, since I know you're reading this - do you really think I give a shit what you think of me? Really? Here's what I want you to do dipshit - I want you to take a screen capture of me on your ignore list and post it, cause I sure would like to use it as my avatar. It's a badge of honor to annoy the piss out of you. Seriously, you just made my fucking day. I want that screen capture as a keepsake for the next time you throw a tantrum and run off like a little bitch. I want the world to remember I was the one person you couldn't handle.

    You stupid cunt. :lol:

    Here's the difference between you and me. I've stuck it out here through the years, unlike yourself and Albert. I've never run off with my tail between my legs because I was mad that people were being mean to me. Does anyone doubt it's only a matter of time before your next meltdown? For fuck's sake, we lose half the site membership in the wake of King Anc's ascencion, but somehow Liet hangs around like a corn - filled dingle berry clinging to a stray asshair? :dayton:

    I may needle Shep, but I respect him. He's an asset to this site. You're a mewling infant who was at best mildly amusing when you were posting funny pics of fleshlights and dildos, and now you don't even do that anymore. Seriously, either entertain me or fuck on out of here again. :)

    Here is MY OPINION.. I have TRIED to watch their show, It's so mind numbingly DUMB. Who cares what he said, he talks morals and yet will plaster his face on any product that will sell (Most made in CHINA) He had the right to say it, A & E had the right to fire him.. Other than that I could care less.. :shrug:

    Why? Don't like the fonts? It was filmed after 1975? It's in color?

    I agree. I was just explaining to John Castle that yes, what he said was bigoted. I think it's a bit overblown as well, and I agree with others that all this will do is strengthen the show's popularity with both fundamentalists who feel they are oppressed, and the unaffected curious who want to watch a train wreck.

    On a side note, I get annoyed by the people who burned/smashed the Dixie Chicks' CDs because of what they said about Bush, but are screaming at A&E for "censoring" Phil. I don't really see it here, but on FB, Jesus it's ridiculous.

    I'm a fan. But, something is really bothering me. The other fans.

    Excluding those who are simply to young to have them, most people on my Facebook timeline have Bachelor's Degrees. Many have graduate and post-graduate degrees. But, they're howling about "Constitutional Rights." Why? Is the fact that our Constitution only protects us from the government really so little known? A&E is a private company. Whom they hire and fire is their decision. Constitutionally protected rights are wholly and completely invalid in this context.
