While Sheen is known as a supporter of human rights...I do not agree with him.

Phil Robertson should not lose his job for stating his opinion UNLESS that opinion causes a major drop in his show ratings, then it is just business. I do not believe Robertson's opinion should influence LAW or deny rights to Gay and Lesbian individuals, but the man is entitled to express his thoughts..

Your employer is entitled to fire you if you do anything to bring them into disrepute, that includes things written on social social media and making questionable public statements - think police and teachers.

Anyone who has had a job of any worth would be aware of this.

I would of thought what happened to Charlie Sheen ought to be lesson enough on the subject.

Maybe they will transfer the program to the Blaze. The truth is what it is, whether you agree with the point of view or not. A&E has a major money winner there and are about to loose it.

Good thing I don't post at work, eh?

Sheen is known for being a raging sexist, womanizer, whoremonger, abuser, drug addict and fond of Porn Starlets...several at once when possible...of which one of them just agreed to marry him recently. Probably a desparate RUB woman stuck in Canada as a prostitute who has instead decided to marry a rich foreign man. Right?

I was being sarcastic.

Charlie Sheen is gross. He has no business getting on a soapbox for gay people. They don't need him.

He's just a fame wh*re trying to stay relevant, not so different from a certain duck call mogul I'm thinking of.

You have to be careful what you say the government might send a drone to shoot you down.

That's your own government you are talking about? Do you really think that there is a government conspiracy to take out undesirable US citizens by drone?

That might make quite the controversy. I live in Manhattan

Not just a conspiracy if it actually happened - Anwar al-Awlaki and his 16 year old son ring a bell?

Not debating the rights or wrongs of drone strikes here, but the US absolutely always had a policy of taking out US citizens abroad if they deem them dangerous enough.

You're right, though there are sometimes weird social discrepancies in who gets fired and shunned. The entertainment business is fundamentally different from police and teachers, in the social effects/costs of either group spewing stuff like this and societal

tolerance is fundamentally different because their roles are so different. I don't know if the two can really be compared?

It's weird though sometimes, the way some people in entertainment get all kinds of passes that other people in entertainment don't.

Which is of course shameful. However, I wasn't explicit enough, I did mean on US soil as apposed to out in the big wide world.

I think it can be compared in the sense that this sort of thing is probably covered under an employment contract.
