Interesting dilemma for today's IPO KILRW.....IPO price is 8, plus commission...8.80 ABC oredered 8 episodes and advertised as such.... mrbinns Dec 20, 09:25

I've tried the Leviticus argument before... They ain't listening unless you share their point of view. {nm} PVL Admin Dec 20, 10:08

That only works if you follow every other line also. If you pick and choose -what gives you the right to enforce this line.Leviticus 20:9 or JDolphin Dec 20, 11:27

Who are you replying to? {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Dec 20, 11:42

I would argue that wasn't "christianity", it was "europeans" and it was sodomy being punished. not "being gay". And it was prior to forlorne Dec 20, 12:44

It's the part comparing homosexuality to bestiality that is offensive. {nm} skamanfu Dec 20, 08:22

That didn't sound like comparing to me, it sounded like a rambling list. If he was comparing, he also compared it to forlorne Dec 20, 12:47

'Religion allows people to easily express hatred, because it rationalizes it.' RotoHockeyYTD2013 Dec 19, 14:43

Historically, both Christians & Muslims have an Outstanding Track Record for Killing Gays for being Gay. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Dec 19, 15:37

He was a newscaster for MSNBC who was fired a couple weeks back for speaking out against Sarah Palin's ignorant slavery comments {nm} LonePirate Dec 19, 15:40

I see. No one should be fired for speaking out, as long as they are not threatening to harm or kill anyone. {nm} Oleg Max Dec 19, 15:46

I would disagree. I think employers have the right to terminate employees if the don't represent the company to the companies standards {nm} Moviesnob Dec 19, 16:25

Hmm, really? So if you/your company had a standard that said no gays allowed to be employed by the co., & it turned Oleg Max Dec 19, 17:04

Your company would be breaking federal law with that standard. {nm} Antibody Dec 19, 17:06

So isn't A&E breaking a law then? I don't get it.... It's against the law to fire a gay but it's not against the law to fire Christian? {nm} Oleg Max Dec 19, 17:33

He's not being fired for being a Christian. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 19, 17:37

He is being fired from expressing his beliefs that are based on Bible = Christian book... {nm} Oleg Max Dec 19, 17:46

Honestly, you will probably not like me saying this, so apologies, but there's a difference between expressing his beliefs the way he did Moviesnob Dec 19, 17:52

Freedom of Speech/Religion is NOT equal to freedom from the consequences of that speech/those beliefs. Do not confuse the two. BSmurf Dec 19, 19:25

First of all, he's not being fired, he's being suspended. A&E won't be editing the episodes already filmed to remove him, etc. RogerMore Dec 19, 17:50

He also said some pretty appalling stuff about life being better with Jim Crow laws. LonePirate Dec 19, 18:01

well, that would be against the law, but I think the reverse would be more like if someone at the company said Christianity was evil and all Moviesnob Dec 19, 17:13

No, that would be legal to fire you, because Star Wars fans aren't a protected class under anti-discrimination laws. RogerMore Dec 19, 20:55

well they should be. star wars IS a religion =) {nm} horrorfanatic Dec 19, 21:04

Sigh. He is free to continue to express his beliefs and say what he wants to say. No one is stopping him. Moviesnob Dec 19, 21:06

Look For The Caps Tom Wilson To Get A Lengthy Suspension For His Vicious Hit On The Flyers Brayden Schenn. RotoHockeyYTD2013 Dec 17, 23:59

yeah that was pretty bad...I think he broke a speed record of some kind {nm} tealfan Dec 18, 08:41

The Bad News for him is that Shanahan has him on Photo Radar. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Dec 18, 11:57

i dont think it will be length. 5 games at the most. Schenn wasnt seriously injured {nm} Moviesnob Dec 18, 19:29

length = long {nm} Moviesnob Dec 18, 19:30

Tom Wilson was not suspended. It was a clean hit, now can they take that 5 minute PP away and let the caps replay that game? {nm} Moviesnob Dec 19, 15:28

kudos to Adam Oates for his unwaivering support of Wilson and correctly stating Schenn was at fault Moviesnob Dec 19, 15:33

He was rightfully given a major for charging. {nm} Antibody Dec 19, 16:06

while Shanahan doesnt criticize his refs, he goes into visual detail about how it wasnt charging noting Wilson didnt ddecide to make the hit Moviesnob Dec 19, 16:22

I agree it's a judgement call, but by definition, Charging "as a result of distance traveled, violently check an opponent in any manner". Antibody Dec 19, 16:26

But Shanahan shows that the distance traveled wasn't significant and the violence from the hit was Schenn's fault. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 19, 16:28

I thought that was the reasoning it wasn't suspicion worthy, not that it wasn't charging. {nm} Antibody Dec 19, 16:36

he's not gonna publicly say his refs were wrong. GMGM is taking the stance the NHL is saying it was a clean hit Moviesnob Dec 19, 16:41
