    What did he deserve? What did he do wrong?
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    No, your allowed to feel however you want, thats your right. It's when you come out an publically attack or degrade someone for their gender, race, religion or sexual preference is then it's not right.

    If T.R. Knight had called Washington a nigger, it would have been an instant on the spot firing of Knight.

    Washington is lucky that he was even given time for producers to think about firing him or not.

    The same thing would have been done if Washington insulted Knights religion or ethnicity.

    You say it is an attack. That is bias on your part. He spoke his mind. Seems you only support someone's right to speech as long as they agree with you.

    NM:

    I just read/watched what he said and he called him a faggot. Are you denying the person he called a faggot is not a faggot? Maybe you prefer gay? Tell me, is gay acceptable to you?

    Faggot is not politically correct and acceptible is civilized society. He shouldn't have said anything about homosexuals at all.

    Do you even know where the fuck the word "faggot" comes from asshole?
    You think that because someone doesn’t comply with the Christian rule book of lies that they should be degraded by a word that literally symbolizes them burning to death?

    That is a load of crap. People ought not be fired because their speech is deemed "politically uncorrect."

    Exactly.

    If he had said "based on my religious convictions to Christianity, I feel that T.R. Knight being gay is a bad thing in the eyes of god" then people would have just said "that’s nice".

    Instead, he used a degrading term (and you know its fucking degrading).

    What? So you will accept a word so long as and only if, it is "politically" [correct]?

    Why shouldn't he be allowed to say whatever the F[inserts politically correct word] he wants about fudge packers?

    You think "gay" is the ok word? Or non straight? We are talking words here. To honest, fudge packers is what I consider slang. Faggot? That is a common word. If you are ok with "gay" you should have no problem with "faggot."

    Funny that "asshole" is the first insult you give me on this board.

    Are you gay or are you gay? Which one?

    Are you: sticks or branches?

    Maybe a metalworking technique?


    Chill bro, as you know from my posts, I think homosexuals should be given legal rights (like those with "marriage") only because "marriage" is now a contract with the state and that is what gives you "rights" concerning hospitial visits etc..

    However, as a moral issue (Women "homosexuals" different) what right do you have to shut down someone's else's right to disagree with you?
