Do you believe, Toulon and ARL should not employ him because he broke some agreement with his current employer? Based on the context of what he did?

Well now it comes into the domain do they feel he will detract from their brand?

If he keeps his bigotry to himself, then there should be no issue where he plays.

I'm still not convinced his speech falls into that of hate speech............it's such a fine line. I mean it's completely crass and offsides, but it really doesn't fall into the extreme realm of hate speech i think.

I am sure a case can be made for both but he wasn't exactly calling for the extermination of homosexuals........

lets forget the religious stuff, is what he said "hate speech".............even in Aus i cant see it being landed in my view.

Was it irresponsible, absolutely. Especially given his position and social standing.

Sorry Boss, I'll tell my real Boss next time, screw his meeting Lord Pitbull awaits his answer!

I saw you posting to heart's content in the other thread. Just assumed you are ignoring this one. Dono what meeting you're in to be able to part take in one discussion but not another. But that's just me.

Issue comes he was warned before about this conduct by his employer. Just last he got reprimand , still went ahead and did it again.

They gave him a chance to reform.

there sees to be focus on his comment which included, but was not focused on homos.

i for one, as a homo in this thread really do not give a rat's arse as to his statement, i'm not offended and he is entitled to his opinion on "my ilk".

cant speak for sister ockie here, but i suspect a similar attitude will prevail

in short:
1) not offended in the least
2) that he bases his comment on fairy tales makes the entire saga comedic

No need to feel threatened, I was asking a question. I know you get notifications on tapa talk. Was just curious as to why you are ignoring it. No harm done. Less crying and running, more answering questions. Not that hard.

You seem to have been touched on your studio, I apologize you delicate little flower you :eek:

You should listen to the lyrics :

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me around
Hey Satan, paid my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey mama, look at me
I'm on my way to the promised land, whoo!
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell

I dont get notifications. I disable all notifications on my phone (cuts out the noise) ... got no idea why you feel so threatened you demand immediate responses to your questions?

You were particularly touched you had to demand an answer by repeating it.


You even went so far as to see if I was still posting elsewhere. Seems a bit stalkerish.

Chill

Lol dude you chased me for a response so hard, you had to post again.

Like really obsessive behaviour, hence Chill.

Note my super sarcastic responses. I wasnt flipping. I thought it was a sad reflection on you.

So my sarcasm tried to lighten the mood somewhat.

You're trying to hard :D

I'm watching GoT on the dual screen waiting for 16:00 to dash off home. Was just curious as to your response, which sees to have caught you off guard and friend your NPC brain. You had to reboot first. But like I said, no Biggy. Back to S3E6

I'll just not take your views seriously. You seem to make comments and then let it lay. Won't even bother, I'll add you to the users not worth the effort.

Why wouldn't he be in hell do you think the Christians would allow a non believer into heaven? That would render Christianity pointless? I mean you can already live a life of sin all you have to do is ask for some of that forgiveness before you die.
i would like to re-explain the concept of how Ghandi is not automatically in hell like you think but i shall pass as i have refuted most of your accusations .

So even though murder is not acceptable, you can go and murder hundreds of people, but as long as you repent and ask for forgiveness it is all good?

But, live your life in peace and harmony, help people, never steal or murder etc and you go to hell for eternity because you don't believe in God and never accept Jesus?

Yeah makes sense, what a just religion you have!
Salvation through faith , not deeds , try reading or even listening to some preachers before passing judgement.
