wtnhunt Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Hardaway banned for gay comments [ QUOTE ] Can you really imagine Muggs having an intellectual conversation?? [/ QUOTE ] Just think it is somewhat humorous and also a bit ironic that Eric so frequently will make mention of intellectual conversation then come up with totally off the wall useless posts or threads all together.

muggs Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Hardaway banned for gay comments Ah, come on guys, I can be intellectual, deep, and even spiritual at times. Like, for example, I think about death and the afterlife a lot. One thought I was contemplating last night was when I die, if I get to choose between normal heaven and pie heaven...I'm going the pie heaven route. It might be a trick, but if it's not...mmmmmm, boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParrotHead Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Hardaway banned for gay comments WOW, we have a decent topic to cuss and discuss. As far as being offended – I am an American White Male, I’m the most hated person on the face of the earth. Blacks hate me, gays hate me, women hate me, Asians and Hispanics hate me, muslims hate me and a fair portion of Europe hates me. The gays think they have an axe to grind, I’m freakin’ Paul Bunyun over here. The thing is, I don’t care. I could give a rats behind what you think of me and I will never give you the satisfaction of thinking you offended me in any way. It’s petty and pathetic that this is how you obtain attention to yourself. Hey, go produce a longer lasting lightbulb and I’ll give you my attention but if you think I care that you’re offended because one idiot said he hates you then you’re sorely wrong. And why does these things always go back to some Amendment on the Bill of Rights? I’ll be honest with you, the 1st Amendment should be re-written and the term “RESPONSIBILITY” should be made a part of it. With any freedom given there must be a responsible person on the other end to receive it and be held accountable for it. Freedom is just that, Free to do but being responsible enough to actually handle freedom…well, that’s another discussion for another day. [ QUOTE ] Free speech does not give the right to yell "FIRE" in a crowded room [/ QUOTE ] Oh yes it does however being a responsible person prevents you from yelling it. And yes, even idiots have rights, even if they only confirm that they are an idiot. In this case, it seems that rights afforded to this guy does just that, confirms he’s an idiot. The 2nd Amendment gives you the right to bare arms. There is no provisions in there what-so-ever that protect the idiot that shots himself in the head while cleaning his pistol. Lets all recite Article II of the Bill of No Rights as drafted by Lewis Napper of Mississippi in 1993. · ARTICLE II -- You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means the freedom for everyone, not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots and probably always will be.

ryan1990 Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Re: Hardaway banned for gay comments i stongly dislike gays and find them discusting and i agree with him that they should not be allowed in sports locker rooms. but when he says he hates them the NBA has a right to ban him. is it free speech if he said "i hate white people."? thats his opinion and he has a right to it but saying it in a sports interview is totally different. though i mostly agree with him on the gay thing i think he could of got the same point across with out using the word hate.

Otherwise it becomes "hate speech" and you've gotta shut up. [/ QUOTE ] Thats 100% on the money. If he would have said, "Normal sex between to consenting adults is boring." Nothing would have happend..... Yet he stepped into the realm of the liberals. He had every right to have an opinion but that doesn't sale anymore. Sick world......

Guest PSEHuntress Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: Hardaway banned for gay comments You know I have a very strong faith and good moral judgement. Do NOT hate men, pay my taxes and support hunting and the 2nd ammendment. I follow the laws of this great country and try to have respect for others. Yet here I sit getting bashed for something I do behind closed doors in a relationship of over 10 years that I personally feel is no body elses business. It doesn't hurt my feelings but you folks need to know there are a lot of gun owning hunting gays out here that support the same causes you do that just want to be left alone and not bashed at every oppurtunity. There are a lot of gays that embarrass me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: Hardaway banned for gay comments To hate gays personally, would be ungodly, but to hate homosexuality and recognize it as a sin is a godly and righteous judgment. The Bible(Yikes,another Bible thumper) says clearly in BOTH the old/new Testament that man lying with another man or woman with another woman is a sin and against the will of God for our lives, and no matter what ANYONE wants to think, it is a SIN. Regardless of how "old-fashioned" and "judgemental" I sound, the word of God WILL always prevail. Anyone thinking that a sexual choice outside of man with a woman is OK, normal, and doesn't hurt anyone is dreaming. It Grieves God and hurts You, because it is a SIN. When did it become a bad thing to call it like it is...a SIN, and the result of sin is eternal separation of that individual's relationship with God. God cannot/will not honor these relationships, no matter how "nice" a spin we put on it, or how right it might feel. Sin (all sin, not just homosexuality) puts us outside of the will of God, outside of having a relationship with him, and separated from him. The result is that is if and when we die without recognizing our sin as the sin it is, and without being willing to turn from that sin, we will be eternally separated from the loving God of all creation. Jesus died for our sins in our place to save us from ourselves. No other answers hold up. I don't hate gays, but I do recognise homosexuality as the sin that it is. What goes on behind closed doors, may not be my business, or hurt me personally, but it is and always will be God's business. You can laugh at me, ridicule me, be angry with me, even hate me, but the truth has been revealed in God's word, and you can't change it, or ever say you weren't told, and didn't know. Please consider seeing the truth from the lies. Just because it feels good, to whomever doesn't make it right in God's eyes. It's a lie that man/women are "born" wanting to lie down with their own sex. It's a shame that so many in this modern day and age think that it's OK, that it hurts nobody, and doesn't see that it is hurting them personally, in the long run. It hurts God who made us and he sent his Son to die for us for that very reason. He loves us and wants the best for us. Being willing to turn from the things that God rejects, is a start, but we have to first recognize those things for what they really are..

Guest OKbassin Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Re: Hardaway banned for gay comments This is rediculous that he was banned from the NBA for his comment. he has the right to free speech just as much as any of these pinko-commie liberals do that won't shut their mouths and never get in trouble for the things they say.

Guest OKbassin Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Re: Hardaway banned for gay comments People need to understand that it is ok to be intolerant of homosexuals as long as you are not infringing on their rights as a human. He probably could've gone without saying that he hates them but either way he should not have been banned. I am a Christian and do not support homosexuals. i dont hate them but i hate their sin and that is what the Bible instructs us to do. i do not associate with them because the Bible also tells us to associate with other Christians to build our faith up. If i ever met one or saw a homosexual i would try and witness to them but i would not make friends with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Re: Hardaway banned for gay comments I wasn't judging you. I was just passing on the truth already spoken by God. That's not judging. I haven't condemned you. There is hope for us all as long as we are still kickin The bible says, that the righteous man (those who have been clothed with Jesus righteousness, not our own) judges all things to see if they are good or bad. We are not to judge people, but the things they and we do, according to God's truth.. To sit in judgement of someone, means, you sit at a bench, and cast down an irrevocable sentence. Judging what they are doing and trying to help them come out of it, is not in any way shape or form judging someone. If your best friend was a Crackhead, and unaware of how bad he has gotten, and you took him to an intervention meeting, in hopes that he could be saved from his crack addiction, Then sat him down and told him he was going to die, if he didn't get help and quit, would you be judging him, or the crack habit?
