Just an aside to anger some - I've never watched the show and have no interest in doing so. Reality TV is absolutely the LAST thing I'll ever watch on TV.

I DO watch Spanish talk shows and no ve las!!!

"It's duck-huntin', varmint-killin', crocodile-butcherin', swamp-dwellin', hog-slaughterin', leg-hold trappin', deer-skinnin' show after show after show' Have you ever tried ANY of those things?

I am constantly amused by people who chastise others when they have NEVER experienced what they ridicule.

Let' see WHO qualifies as, " acted out by people with room temperature IQs"

Phil graduated from Louisiana Tech University and has a Master's degree in Education started his own business which became very successful.

Willie has a degree in Business and has a net worth of over $10 million.

What is YOUR Intellectual claim?

I highly doubt that. There is nothing on that show that would discourage non-Christians from watching it. It's hilarious. I watch the show because I want to watch Uncle Psi play with sharp objects, and watch beaver dams be blasted by flamethrowers.

The only thing that will discourage non-Christians from watching it will be the actor's comment about homosexuals. That type of comment is one that many Christian actors believe, but saying it and emphasizing it adds something to it.

Never seen the show, not my thing, but Robertson is 100% right about homosexuals.

It depends on where you put your duck call to blow it.

So you can't share your belief in GQ without being censored...

He wasn't censored, A&E has no requirement to give him a place to speak.

Judging by the plunging ratings for the two bell cows of reality TV over the last 2-3 years (American Idol & Dancing With The Stars), this is much ado about nothing.

Why do they seem to think that homosexuality is about the worse sin a human being can possibly commit against God and society? Do they make sure they don't cheat on their wives?
