    So they shot themselves in the foot because they live their lives per what the bible says versus their pocket books? Or they should just keep quiet and not stir the pot?

    I completely disagree with keeping quiet about these subjects. Silence to me means agreement. My advice is to standup for what you beleive in.

    I think even more of Phil now than before.

    Many people and leadership of this country are heading in the wrong direction. The bible is black and white.


    This.

    I was talking about their business. Ask Paula Deen.

    But since you asked, yes I think what he said is ridiculous. I’ll bet his sons and their families are livid.

    I still don’t agree with forsaking your values based on “business”.

    The good new is, I’m certain the majority of Duck Commander’s business comes from hunters who feel the same. The Walmart/gas station Duck Dynasty junk will probably be the only hit they take.

    Anyone who watches the show knows that is how he is. Some people might see it as being preachy and mean spirited, but I don’t see it that way. The guy is a smart*$&.

    Quote:


    What’s more, according to him, it’s basically incomprehensible. “It seems to me, a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man’s anus,” he explained. “That’s just me. I’m just thinking, ‘There’s more there! She’s got more to offer.’ I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”



    That is classic Phil with just a little more edginess. I think it’s funny as heck and I don’t even agree with him. Um, I mean I don’t agree with his view on the [censored] community, I do agree with what he said there.

    I don’t think it hurts them that much. He has a right to say what he wants to say as much as whiny babies can ask sponsors to drop them. I imagine for every sponsor that drops them, 2 will be ready to take their place.

    You know there were a lot of anti-hunting, atheist just hoping for something like this. But they don’t watch the show.

    I disagree…This won’t hurt him (or their pocketbooks) a single bit. In fact I am sure his “people” said go for it Phil…Well done sir!

    If Paula Dean would wear cammo she wouldn’t be in the position she’s in.

    Seriously??? People are actually agreeing with Phil Robertson?? He is interpreting the Bible in the most literal sense there is. Who else here reads the Bible??

    It also states in Deuteronomy 21 18-21 that disobediant sons should be stoned to death in front of the city’s gates. Deuteronomy 22 13-21 states that a woman who gets married and found to not be a virgin should also be stoned to death in front of the city’s gates..

    How many of us here married virgins? How many of us have disobediant sons?? Gut check people- do we really want to always fall back on the Bible when the issue of homosexuality arises?? Seems to me it gets used as a crutch when people’s viewpoints are in line with what the Bible says…

    What about Jesus?? He also preached to love everyone and not descriminate – when are we going to follow those teachings???

    I think you missed the point, most are not agreeing with the interpretation of the Bible, it’s that he drew his line in the sand and is sayign what he believes to be true.

    The bible says allot of things that can be taken allot of ways. My interpretation of the bible is homosexuality in any form is sin and not the intention of God’s way. That being said we live in a fallen world and are all in need of redemtion

    I’m sure people are going to make a huge story of this. Be prepared for people to frame it all how they like.

    Quote:


    Phil’s decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families.


    Sometimes it is not what you say, how you say it or your true intent, it’s about who you say it about. Kenye, Tom Cruise, Alec Constapation Face Baldwin…etc

    From the quotes I saw he never mentions a stereotype. At least I don’t think he said anything about lisps and dressing sharp.

    Not only does “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson fail to understand what it’s like to be [censored], but he also thinks homosexuality is a sin comparable to bestiality.



    False. He is not making a comparison. He is stating a sin is a sin. HE also mention greedy people, thieves, people who sleep around, liars and drunks. So I guess we are all screwed.

    Quote:


    In a shocking new interview…



    What he said in that interview would only be shocking to people who haven’t heard him give a speech or even seen him on the show, even though on the show he is a caricature of himself.

    from the perspective what ya’d have to listen to for dinner conversation … I’d much rather sit in Jep Robertson’s chair than Bruce Jenner’s

    He’s an idiot. What good father would say those things publicly knowing full well sponsors will be lost affecting his children, grand children and employees of his SONS company? And I hate to burst some or your bubbles but the majority of fisherman, hunters and Wal-Mart shoppers are not homophobic.

    WWPRD?

    I’m not homophobic, but I can get past what he says. I guess I have more regards for people without a filter who aren’t afraid to not be PC.

    I don’t think it’s a matter of being homophobic, but more of a priciple of his beliefs. Not trying to be argumentive, just saying.

    Just going with my gut. His words seem to stem from hatred, intolerance and self-righteousness. That part of the country is well known for this. My initial point was amazement that he would do this to his family. However only time will tell if I am right or way off track. It will be interesting to see.

    Funny, I was going to post the same thing. It is not for us to judge, it is for the populace!

    Paula Deen was similar though her comments were racial. They chopped her off at the knees. She lost all her credential, her sponsors and millions of dollars.

    Who gives a flippin’ hootie-doo? This isn’t news. Anyone who has ever met him, watched the Duckmen videos, read the books, or seen the show know what he’s about. While I don’t agree with his stance on the issue, it won’t effect my loyalty to his duck calls.
