"Many do not believe in the Divine inspiration of scripture, that is their choice, but many do. Those of us that do believe this do not have to condone a behavior that we see as sinful, and even though we see sin as wrong, and all Christians know they themselves are sinners, can not condone an act that they believe God calls sin. In 1 Cor 6, it does not tell us to **** the sinner, rather that verse makes a very simple statement, that the sinner that lives a number of different life styles and does not repent will not inherit the kingdom of God, that is the message of that verse. In the end that is between them and God.

In chapter 5 of the same book, Paul writes of a person living the life of sexual impurity and the church is told to put that person out and not even eat with that person. plainly put we are not to fellowship with believers that do not repent, however he points out that we are not to shun the unbeliever for their sins, in fact we see in Paul's writings
that we are to give those very unbelievers the Gospel for their chance to accept and repent, if they do not that is between them and God. You see this is how we as Christians, even though we can not condone the life style of homosexuality any more than we can condone a lifestyle of sex out of marriage or adultery, or revilers, drunkards or thieves, we still love the sinner. The real problem is this, the LGBT community desires that the Christian community will give 100% acceptance of their sin, we can not do this anymore than we can do this for our own sins in which we are told to turn away from. We can love the sinner and as Christians we are charged to do that, but we are to despise the sin. So what the LGBT community will get from Christians or should get is a level of tolerance, even though they can never get approval of the lifestyle. Unfortunately as a general rule the left and the LGBT will not afford the Christian community the same.We do not demand that you believe as we do, or even accept our teachings or even condone our beliefs, we just ask for the same tolerance you would like from us.
There are programs on TV that I can't stomach such as "Modern ******", I have never asked for it's removal, I have never criticized anyone who watches it, nor called anyone names for liking the program, the fact is they say things that I personally find repulsive and disgusting. Do I scream and throw a fit when it is on...NO, I just don't watch it. Many People do enjoy DD, I would say if you do not like it, just do not watch it. If the ratings fall as low or below anything on MSNBC then A&E should drop it. But to drop a program that is the #1 non fiction show on TV, is not only a slap in the face to the viewers by not even giving them a choice to stop watching or watching, they also are disingenuous to the sponsors who should be in a symbiotic relationship with the network and the viewers. In fact the show only lives if the viewers and sponsors are treated with respect. To the point that if the sponsors continue to support the network rather than the demographic they are trying to reach it is the responsibility of the viewing demographic to cut ties with the sponsors also.


So A&E give the viewers of the number one show on your network what they want, to the sponsors if the network is no longer providing your target Market what they want pull your add dollars, if you prefer to reward the network for alienating your target market then expect your target market to alienate you. For those who do not like DD, you are not part of the Target Market, may I suggest that you do like I do (or actually don't do) do not turn it on. The rise or fall of viewer ship should decide the market."


After reading Harley's misinformed and bigoted article (You do have freedom of speech / Shut up already) this puts the situation in perspective.
ESPNaddict spewing his vitriol (Phil's a racist, etc; not a single accusation by anyone this is so, 'cept him.)Those who haven't seen an episode but call anyone on it or watching it an idiot, etc.
I just watched some of the 35 hours the slime at A&E are showing and it is a fun show with some silly moments and some not silly ones.
They made many millions before the show, so they are just getting richer as we sit here.
Good for them...they don't need A&E, so A&E is fucked. LOL Cracker Barrel , good for WalMart selling out of DD stuff.
Phil follows Scripture, he hates the sin but NOT the sinner.
Libs / Demotards like Harley and activist Gays **** the sinner as well, it seems.

So I'm bigoted, misinformed, and a demotard. Ok. Thanks. I didn't know that about myself.
 
its stupid to do those remarks if he wants his show to stay at a and e

if he does not want his show on a / e its maybe a good thing


ANYONE THINK he made the remarks so he could get cancelled, get out of his present contract

MOVE ON - and go elsewhere for more money

do not watch the show it seems it is like swamp people on history channel
or reality ICE ROAD TRUCKERS IN A DUCK HUNTING LOCATION AND INSTEAD THEY SHOOT GUNS RATHER THEN DRIVE TRUCKS
 
C'mon...stretch your intellect and explain what you mean...what does I am "Internet Warrior 101" mean?

"Stretch your intellect" and figure it out if you're so inclined.

HINT: Type the phrase into Google for starters.

If you're having trouble, let me know and I'll post a link for you.

Good luck! :hatsoff:
 
Remember how once in this country a gigantic portion of "religious" people though slavery was alright? How about just decades ago when a gigantic portion of religious people though interracial marriage was some abomination.

I wonder what the chances in the near future the people that are against homosexuals having equal rights or thinking of them as some sort of second class human beings will be thought of like the people above are now thought of. I'm betting it's going to be pretty good.

I also wonder how Phil Robertson, who is so religious, feels about making craploads of cash off the sale of all the ever present and junky merchandize he endorses by having himself (not to mention the rest of his ******) give others authorization to put his image on it all while those that make it and make him that crapload of money work in some ****** job while impoverished where they are virtual slaves off in a foreign country. Maybe that's what he thinks Jesus would do instead of loving all of humanity, even homosexuals.
 
So I'm bigoted, misinformed, and a demotard. Ok. Thanks. I didn't know that about myself.

Yes, you did.
You specifically told me you only voted for Demotards, straight ticket EVERY time.

Phil R. is a man with a beard, as are millions of people. And he is country, this is true.
As a man with a successful business, worth many millions,and with a Masters in Edymacation, you judged him only as "He's some hillbilly with a giant ugly beard, and he made a comment about gay people being sinners."
Sounds pretty ignorant to me...yup, it is.
So, even though you weren't trying to admit it, you actually made a true and accurate statement there.
Good job!

OK, if that's how you can show me, do it.
Post a link...

Well, since Phil and ****** are not there for you to judge or even check out, you are trying to creat a fantasy that makes you sound riteous and him look "bad".
As for slavery, that is done by the locals in China and Thailand, not by companies here. As does the corps licensing the merchandise and having it made...not Phil's company.
And you have NO idea where it is made, you're just making up those "facts" as well.
AND...it was religious people who actually fought for the abolishment of slavery, or according to you, no one in power wanted it to end, other than as a economic blow to competetors in agriculture, ire the Southern states vs the Northern ones.
Religious people are the push behind a great deal of the human rights in this world, and if it was up to the Democrats (up until the 60s) there would have been no civil rights...thank God for the Republican Party pushing forward with Civil Rights as the party of Lincoln.

So, as the millions of t-shirts printed here in the USA are not in sweat shops, where are you getting this specific "sweat shop" information?
******* or reefer?
Not from Google I'm sure...
 
You must be a Canuck Hillbilly...a perfect fit for the term . Ignorance is definitely present in most every post you put in Talk, and assumptions with no rationale or back up. This level of post is not something you have the cognitive skills to understand, possibly the Talk section would be a better place for you to join in the discussion?

Hey, Bubba, I really don't get offended by your ignorance or anyone else's just from it existing...only when it spews out all over the clean landscape and gets on me.
But PC (do I have to translate that for you?) is why the astericks are used, not from the Grand Conference of All Terminologies Allowable Use; ask Michael Richards and Paula Deen how rabid the PC Police are...but only in very specific instances. Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, and every rapper knows what I mean.
Being a Canuk Hillbilly I get you don't have a lot of smarts, but try and get some of this.
And use some Gold Bond Buttpaste on your obvious butthurt, eh?:facepalm:

Oh wow with a green tongue like yours i'm surprised you didn't get hit with the clap yet.

Ummm...yeah, like it takes a genius to figure out what goes on. Any attempt for them to try and claim ignorance is either a gigantic rationalizing beyond any believebility and lying to oneself, or that person has lived on another planet for all their life and is one of the few handful of people in the world that actually doesn't know what goes on at third world factories. I don't have to live in a fantasy world when I have their very words and can go and look at their very products with their names on it.

As for slavery, that is done by the locals in China and Thailand, not by companies here. As does the corps licensing the merchandise and having it made...not Phil's company.

Wrong! Absolutely wrong. One doesn't get to have riches come their way and have others knowingly do wrongdoing for their benefit by proxy and then try to wash their hands from it. Willingly letting others use ones image and advertizing in the act of gaining riches off of said wrongdoing makes one just as culpable as the people doing it. In some ways it might make them worse.

And you have NO idea where it is made, you're just making up those "facts" as well.
Really? Are you kidding me? Walk into a freaking Wal-Mart or other places, check out all that junky Duck Dynasty merchandise that's showing up now and see where it comes from.

AND...it was religious people who actually fought for the abolishment of slavery, or according to you, no one in power wanted it to end, other than as a economic blow to competetors in agriculture, ire the Southern states vs the Northern ones.

Yes, there were good religious people back then, some of them performing feats of suffering and self-sacrifice in the name of freedom, equality, and love for fellow people that were downright super-heroic. That doesn't somehow absolve the masses of supposedly religious people, that probably outnumbered the good ones, that did wrong in name of their religion all while failing to actually follow what their religion told them do believe and act in when it wasn't convenient for them. All that doesn't mention all the religious people that didn't care or act for others because of selfishness or apathy even if they didn't directly do harm. Also, Get off the whole party of Lincoln stuff. Both parties now are so much different than they were when they started it's kind of silly for either party to hand their hats on their origins anymore. Large amounts of the things the Republicans in Lincoln's time advocated would be shunned by the party now.

So, as the millions of t-shirts printed here in the USA are not in sweat shops, where are you getting this specific "sweat shop" information?
******* or reefer?
Not from Google I'm sure...

Or people could just go and look at the packaging or tag where it list where it's made at. :facepalm:
 
My biggest issue with this whole thing is how so many of the conservatives backing up Phil are trying to claim that A&E is being intolerant, bitching and whining about free speech and freedom of religion. No, A&E isn't being intolerant. Phil is. I've never seen Dick Dynasty and have no desire to, it looks stupid to me, but I've heard enough about this situation already to get a good idea about what's going on. He's some hillbilly with a giant ugly beard, and he made a comment about gay people being sinners. Sure, he has every right to say what he wants, but A&E also has every right to remove him from the show, just the same as you can fuck your hot co-worker on your boss's desk as much as you want, but if your boss finds out, they have every right to fire you.

I'm so sick of hearing all these religious people bitch and complain about the democrats and such-and-such person trying to take God away from them, trying to take Christ out of Christmas, trying to take God out of the pledge of allegiance, blah blah blah. Shut up already. This is a free country. You do have freedom of speech, and you do have freedom of religion. So does everyone else. Your religion should in no way whatsoever effect the person sitting next to you. Practice it on your own time, in your own way, and leave the rest of the country out of it.

Phil is the one who's intolerant, and A&E is simply not tolerating intolerance.

I wouldn't have a problem with booting him off the show…if liberals weren't so hypocritical. They regularly demonize Whites, Christians, non-liberals in the entertainment industry it's not only tolerated but celebrated. You have to go really, really off the rails to get booted for mocking these groups.

So it's not so much that people agree with Phil, it's that they are pissed that liberals don't hold themselves to the same standards that they set for non-liberals.
 
Over three seasons, from 1965-67 -- his final two as starter -- Robertson was 179-for-411 passing for 2,237 yards and 12 TDs, but threw 34 interceptions for Tech (which was 8-20 in that span).

He was approached by an NFL team for a contract even though he chose not to play his senior year, so scouts must have thought those stats were more to do with the lack of talent around him than lack of talent in Robertson himself. Tom Brady wasn't particularly distinguished in college either.

He was offered a try out not a contract.
