Weird Inspiration
Weird Inspiration Phil Robertson. The man, the myth....I am to the point of hysterical bemusement at the number of posts I have seen on the book-face place about this man and the shit he said. My question is... So what? So what if he said something incredibly offensive to so many people? In the larger scheme of things, offensive statements are uttered about once every nanosecond in our modern cyber-connected world. I say them, you say them. Butthurt abounds the whole damn world over. It always has, it always will. Unfortunately, it is the nature of the beast. And political correctness is not the solution to this problem. Diplomatic honesty without malice would go a hell of a lot farther. Behold the logical result of political correctness, your very opinions are subject to the will of the people. However, to me political correctness is just one step this side of lying. I would much rather people feel free to call me an asshole to my face and be done with the matter. I wear my big girl panties every day, and unless you are someone who is an elemental part of my life, your opinion is nothing more than that; your opinion. And as such, it really will not bother me much at all. And don't worry, I won't run and tell my Mommy you said something mean to me. Nor will I hire a lawyer and sue you. But back to Phil. Again, so what? The man has been dealt with by his employers, he has been both glorified and crucified in media. What more do we want here? Should we hang him from the yardarm as a warning to anyone else on the planet that having a politically incorrect opinion will NOT be tolerated. However, those of you who are deforesting the rain forests, and those of you who are setting off earthquakes and contaminating the water and the ground with fracking, and those of you who are killing innocents with unmanned drone strikes and those of you who are abusing your authority, those of you who are committing malicious harmful crimes against humanity....carry on, we see nothing. And just one more thing. Am I the ONLY human on the planet that finds it very curious that an urbane magazine like GQ would ask a conservative backwoods Baptist minister a question that anyone who has ever watched one episode of that show already knows the answer to? This man did battle with the network to be allowed to pray on the stinking show, people. It was a leading question, designed to distract people who want to ignore the political burning or Rome going on here. The Senate debated and approved the NDAA while this uber important scandal had the search engines going nuts with his name and GQ magazine this weekend. Soon, any one on American soil can be arrested without due process, simply because of suspicion. But that is not nearly as important as how horrible it is that there is a famous figure with an offensive opinion, is it? And people wonder why I hate to leave the house.

Would you believe a co-worker called me "a dick"... and she was actually upset because I didn't allow it to bother me! I think I actually pissed her off because I wasn't offended.

Much ado over very little I’d agree! Why was GQ even interviewing Phil Robertson? Hardly seems like their target audience. Clap On Clap Off Quite at Threesome Cum Shower with Me on HNW Private Cleavage 1 My Private Blog – Tell me your secrets
