  1. This I can agree with. What I dislike is that A&E feels they should fire him. They signed up for this too, knowing well in advance the families stance on such issues, then a few years later suspend him indefinitely? Shady business practices. It's not like they didn't know this the entire time they were riding this gravy train. :thumbup:
  2. So if your employer asks your opinion and what you believe, and they disagree and fire you, that's constitutional? Wrong. That's discrimination. I'd rather get fired standing for what I believe than "pleading the 5th" and being wishy washy like the vast majority of spineless celebs. (Note: I'm not saying anyone here is spineless.) Do you have an opinion on the matter? Are you currently employed? This is seriously funny to me that some people think this way. Scenario: Phil is gay instead of a conservative. He is asked his opinion. He says a penis is hawt to him and that guys that like the vag are "wrong". Does he get fired? Do we even see the story? As someone else mentioned, where does he say he hates anyone? He says he loves all people and we should all love all people. He simply expressed his beliefs. I don't believe in worshiping cows. They're delicious. If you worship cows I don't hate you. That's fine. Down, down, do your thing, do your thing, do your thing. I agree. Right now Phil is getting hated on because of his faith. Stand up for his rights to believe the way he chooses. Love this. Seriously. Despise this. Seriously. I don't think Phil hates anyone though. :thumbup: Again, there is a difference between ticking off people by spouting off at the mouth and answering a question presented to you. If asked your opinion, do you supply it or do you tip toe around the question walking on eggshells afraid to stand up what you believe in for fear of offending someone? Ok. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: I have read all responses and see where you guys are saying he should be fired for this. Yes, he's employed by A&E and yes they have the right to fire him. I was simply saying it's ridiculous IMO. IMO. Let me say that again: IMO. He has the right to state what he believes yet is scorned for it, not just by A&E, but by many others who are not his employer. People are putting words into his mouth. Saying he's hateful and judgmental. That's fine. Everyone's opinions are welcomed. Whether it's conservative Phil or Richard Simmons I still hold to my belief (as an American, not a Christian) that you should be able to give your opinion when asked for it without fear of consequences like this. I respect anyone who stands for what they believe in without going WBB about it. He has never formed an alliance against anyone, or used his money to try to put a stop to anything. He simply answered a question and went back to his humble home where Miss Kay whipped up a nice squirrel gravy and thought nothing more about it. I don't hate anyone. I don't agree with everyone. Am I a bad person?
  3. Spot on. I refuse to pay for cable and where I live I can't even get over the air channels. Internet and Netflix is just fine. Much cheaper options to watch stupidity if I want.
  4. I may be white trash, but they aren't my "wet dream". I do find the show pretty entertaining though...BUT THAT'S MY RIGHT AND IF YOU DON'T AGREE YOU'RE WRONG AND SHOULD BE BANNED! Hey, that show is better than 16 & pregnant or anything with the Kardashians. EDIT: Also, as many mentioned, no prob with you feeling that way. You have the option not to watch (and I'm sure you exersize that option) but he shouldn't be scorned for this. Ya don't like it? Don't watch. I don't watch a lot of stupid shows. Doesn't mean I tell everyone in them they can't have opinions on anything.
  5. I think I get what you mean now. Didn't understand what you were trying to say originally.
  6. Grumpy cat IRL. Hahaha EDIT: Just remembered what my avatar is. :whistle:
  7. There shouldn't be any "consequences". If someone asks your opinion and you answer honestly do you expect backlash to this degree? Freedom of speech? Nah. Went out the window long ago. Freedom of religion? Forget about it. This is how it should be handled. Where did he say anything about not loving anyone? I love my family. Doesn't mean I agree 100% with everything all of them believe. He was asked what he believed. He answered honestly. If your kid does something you don't like do you love them less?
  8. Thank you. "Equality for all" never truly means "for all". It means "for all who agree with me."
  9. This. With my first born on the way I couldn't imagine EVER subjecting him to something like this willingly and can only imagine what I'd feel/do if someone did this to my child. I didn't even finish reading it. 29 years? Not enough. Hopefully gen pop dishes out justice.
  10. Short article. Regardless of your beliefs, I hate seeing people suppressed for speaking their opinion when asked for it. "You didn't say what we wanted you to! You're not open minded about others beliefs so you're wrong!" Hypocrisy and nothing else. To mute anyone for their beliefs while calling them close minded is asinine. That's as close minded as it gets.
  11. You can say that in two different voices simultaneously?
  12. About as unorthodox as some others mentioned. As stated, I don't know if any new cars fall under the "unorthodox" label. I can't really think of anything else. Plus, I had an ST pass me on my way home tonight while I was driving my N/A beater. Liked what I saw.
  13. Totally missed that. Focus ST wit dat Ecobewst.
  14. Looks like an overpriced Nissan IMO. 1992 Tercel with a 4efte swap...or just a Starlet would do.
  15. FTFY I still like the idea of former service men/women being employed to stand guard at every school in the country. More jobs, kids are safer (providing the right steps are taken in the hiring process).
  16. Fair enough...although I did get to go there on a field trip in 8th grade.
  17. Why didn't you ever tell me you had an office in my home town?
  18. Only avail for 2 more hours. March 13-16, 2014 of course. Need a Groupon account to see I think. 2 tickets for $10. Link Didn't know if anyone would be interested.
  19. I have ~$300, a pic of BC shirtless with a cup of green jello on each nip, and half a box of nutty bars to my name.
  20. Saban staying, Mack staying. Interdasting.
  21. Truth. Has been happening for centuries, albeit not with guns. Oh snap! What's Biden gonna say now? Not my kid.
  22. TrueCaller works as well. Searches for numbers not normally listed and tells you who is calling in some cases.
