Well, you're different. Most people don't have a problem with others stating their religious views, so long as no one's rights are violated and/or harmed because of it.

Though I'm still of the opinion that when people use religion to debase homosexuality/homosexuals, it's often just a cowardly coverup cos they're just too scared to come out and just say "I hates ****", so they use god as a shield.


I make a distinction between having the right to say something and it being "okay" to say it. Everyone has the right to religious expression (obviously with some restrictions--I don't think people have the right (nor should they) to call for bloody crusades/jihads on the basis of religious beliefs), but that doesn't mean it's "okay." Religious speech shouldn't ever be privileged above secular speech in any society that considers itself modern.

"The A&E channel said it's reversing its decision to drop "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson from the show for his remarks about gays."

Must be the realization that the show makes them a lot of money.

and BINGO was his name O lol What makes the world go around? I don't know, I would like to think, maybe the company saw the people's backlash but since I don't follow the, "ducks" I have no idea. I don't know what their fan base is saying but I have a good idea. At any rate, the moment I saw a duck dynasty t-shirt and bobblehead at a dollar store...,I knew they had "arrived". lmao 😂 So, yea it's all about money when it comes to ratings but the people influence the ratings, so, I guess take that for what it's worth. This, does feel like a good thing ultimately, I just wish it were for different reasons, like, protecting freedom of speech and a show generates traffic to your station. It's probably all about money though.

I tried to watch the show, just to get a real idea of what is going on, but I lasted for only about 15 min. I still don't know why people like the program.

Here in the Bible belt, their stuff is everywhere. Book stores, Wal-Mart, Target, gas station, gun store, etc. This part of the country is scary.

I believe they live around the everglades or some comparable shithole. I imagine that resonates quit well with the shithole that is Florida.

I'd have taken any excuse to cancel the show too.

In the end, the scandal helped the show. Money rules!

Noli pecuniae tuae oblivisci.

Hey! don't be insulting ZZ Top! 😉

I really don't understand the fascination that surrounds these men and this absurd television series.

I suppose it's simply not my thing.

Reality tv in general baffles me with its popularity.

I have regular people as friends on Facebook.

I'm not baffled at all at what regular people like.
