A&E Suspends Phil Robertson

Recommended Posts

OKAY!!! so, let's wind this up just a little more....

...Not everyone is happy with the situation, however. Although the Robertsons are contractually obligated to honor A&E's casting decisions, they don't seem to be getting along with their new employee.

"Personally I think this is bulls**t," says Jase Robertson, who runs the company's manufacturing division. "He's only been here for two days and already the dogs are walking funny. I don't like this one bit. Not one bit."

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

4) Tolerance means tolerance. For ALL points of view.



I reject this definition of tolerance. Being tolerant simply does not mean you tolerate everything in life.

You can have tolerance for some things and be intollerant for others. Tolerance is issue specific and not all encompassing.

I tolerate a skydiver yelling "hey asshole", I do not tolerate my 8 year old yelling the same thing at me.

With your definition tolerance is an impossible concept.

You cannot be tolerant and intolerant at the same time.



Sure you can....see above.

What if your daughter skydives? Tolerant then? Or a hypocritical bigot?

his point is that you cant claim need for tolerance on an issue, but be intolerant of the opposite side of that issue without being a hypocrite.

The opposite side of the issue would be the claim that heterosexuality is evil. Since that claim is pretty much non-existant then the need for tolerance of it is moot.


Edit: Hang on a minute, that's not even right. The other side of asking for tolerance of gay people is tolerance of heterosexual people. Everyone tolerates heterosexual people. So much so that we're commonly referred to as 'people' and the rest is just assumed.





(And hypothetically, getting pissed at people who swear isn't the same as bigotry.)

With all due respect, screw 'tolerance.'

I do not tolerate my gay and lesbian friends, I accept them. Their sex life not a matter of interest, as is the case with my straight friends.

'Tolerating' is the most sanctimonious and degrading approach that comes to mind. One does not tolerate something that is fundamentally acceptable; when one tolerates something, the implication is that it fundamentally sucks out loud, but "I, being so fundamentally wise and magnanimous, will see fit to tolerate this otherwise unacceptable thing because I am so wonderful..." Quatsch.

If something is unacceptable, it is unacceptable. I do not grant someone the right to 'tolerate' me.

actually, PR himself in the same interview you got your panties in a wad over, made the claim that heterosexual promiscuity was also a sin. So he actually wasn't singling out homosexuals any more than he did tramps and drunkards...

***In his original statement Phil said nothing to dehumanize a group of people or to judge them, simply told of what his religion said...



I'm sorry you feel that way. I really am.

In my opinion, a person doesn't get a free pass at being a bigot simply because he paraphrased words out of an ancient book of folklore.

If we let that happen, we have to excuse the truly horrible behavior of quite a few people, like, for instance, the Taliban and the KKK.

To me, it's one of the worst kinds of excuses; using "religion" to promote an agenda of hate.

There is a BIG fundamental difference here. The Taliban and KKK ACT on their beliefs by harming and/or discriminating against others.

Phil only stated his beliefs and did not pass judgement, nor act against.

That is indeed the difference. Words (and not promoting hatred or violence) are different than violent actions.

Yeah, whatever. Only saying it's the root of all sin but hey, no biggie.

Quote

he didn't say they were criminals as jakee maintains.



What the fuck are you talking about? Quote me:|


in post 254 you said this,

And he clearly stated all the ugly stuff you've conveniently left out too. As an example, if someone says that "All those damn blacks are criminals and drug addict scum! But I'm not judging them I love everyone" he's still a racist.

Except Phil did not say 'all those homosexuals are criminals and drug addict scum', or anything approximating that, which would be accusing them of criminals offences. He merely stated that in his belief system what they were doing was a sin. And did not suggest to anyone to take up pitchforks and rakes and attack them.

Ever wonder how many people in your life are simply tolerating your antiquated perspective and bigoted views?


I'm always impressed with those that pass moral judgement on others without reflective consideration.

I'd put money on it that there is something in each and every one of us that someone else could find morally reprehensible.

To each their own.

You mean, passing a moral judgement like you just did here?

Well, women are more focused on being wives and mothers at that age. Thus your chances of having a stable home are greater than with a two income household.

15 and 16 year olds are women, and not girls, now?

Yep, stable household for sure. As long as homework from Freshman class in High School doesn't get in the way.

Heterosexual promiscuity, not heterosexuality itself.

Yes he was. He was singling them out as the starting point.
