A&E Taking Heat For Suspending 'Duck Dynasty's' Phil Robertson

Here is a fact and a real example of hypocrisy: Blaming every law abiding gun owner for the deaths of children, while supporting abortion.

Utterly incorrect for two reasons.

A. Nobody does that.

B. That wouldn't be hypocrisy.
 
If it wasn't for public executions, there would be no Christianity, they know who they are and where they are from, and it would be the height of hypocrisy for the totality of that religion to question the death penalty, otherwise they'd still be Jews.

Can you provide an example of anybody actually doing this? I do not believe you can.

People can't. So they go on TV and yell and scream to try to be heard because they can't stand by their opinions because it's not based on facts. Then when they get call out for speaking out of their ass they attack the media they were using to try to get their idiotic points across.

I have also never met a single person who ever went "I'm bored, I think I'll have an abortion for fun". I'm for keeping the right of a woman to do what she pleases to her body. But I guess some people are such in favor of small government they want it to invade people's virginias.

But it's also like the people who are against common sense gun laws (like background checks) saying that guns aren't the problem, it's the mental people's fault. Which of course it is, but then they won't actually support increasing health care funding for people so we can get them help before they go around killing people.

Michael Moore?

Bowling for Columbine was some thick story telling.
Have you actually watched Bowling For Columbine or do you only know what you've read about it?

Oh, I saw it.

A long time ago.

All I really remember is Michael buying bullets from the local Wallmart.

What happened was about mental illness, not guns.

Thick = "laying it on thick" = playing it up.

Guns are bad.

I don't like guns.

I was sifting the bad faith in Ryan's argument with a glimmer of logic.

Michael Moore, or some modern day equivalent, felt like poster child of the movement Ryan was rallying against.

Unless his opposition has no face?

But the movie never said guns are bad or that he didn't like guns. It was about the culture of fear in America and how it effects our attitudes about guns.
 
I said that all I remember clearly is Michael buying bullets from Wallmart.

Considering how little I retain after ten years or so, it's a wonder I bother watching or doing anything.

A) That assumes non-sentient life is the same as sentient life.

B) Nobody blames law abiding gun owners for the deaths of children. They do blame people who think anybody who wants to should be able to get a sub-automatic WITHOUT being vetted for mental health and criminal history just because they sub-automatic weapons are cool.

C) Nobody is in favor of abortion. They are only in favor of the owner of the womb in question being the one to make the decision.
 
Post Natal Abortions. (234,000 results from a google search for this term.)

Think how well behaved kids would be if parents had the option of a late term abortion up till their 21st birthday?

Alternatively I read a short story by Harlen Ellison which was the reverse of this where children upon turning 21 were allowed to sue their parents for unsatisfactory childhoods.

Kids suing their parents would be a nightmare. "You didn't buy me the Pogs I wanted when I was 10, I'm going to sue you!" :lol:
