If you’re like me you always look to mobbed-up boxing promoters who fix fights as your moral beacon.
Trump-Pacquiao 2016!
Opinions like his have a rightful place in a ‘free society’ under the US Constitution.
Not buying anymore Nike stuff. Feel free to follow suit. Same with Liam Neeson movies. Not going to watch them anymore. Let him become a pariah in the film industry.

It’s a free country.
You just cannot have any opinions which deviate from those vetted by the media and leftist politicians.
I find Arum’s words more distressing than Pacquiao’s. Are people worse than animals? I’m not sure you’d get a lot of support from biblical scholars because man was created in the image of God. Man is more conscious of sin than the animals and, in that way, probably worse but I reject the blanket statement.
But Arum’s is worse. He tries to excuse Manny when 1) he doesn’t ask to be forgiven or excused in his comments and 2) anyone who claims that something like homosexual conduct was okay for the Bible to condemn in Old and New Testament times but not now doesn’t understand God’s unchanging nature.
If the Torah condemned it (with stoning, no less) but the New Testament did not, I could see some wiggle room to say this was okay because of the New Covenant in Christ. But Paul and others, clearly after Christ’s appearance, condemn homosexual behavior in the strongest of terms so if you consider the Bible to be God’s Word, you have to conclude that God condemns homosexual behavior.
I will toss in that God also condemns fornication, adultery and other hetero sins as well lest anyone think they are better people than the homosexuals. The biggest problem with Gay Pride is not the gay part, it’s the pride part. They are blinded to their own sin, lest they repent.
So many of these big companies have priced themselves beyond the means of working people raising families; it is easy for me to boycott Nike or Starbucks because I would never spend the money on their products. More importantly, I’ve been reducing the money I spend anywhere (fast food, movies, etc.) - to deal with accumulated debt with the additional benefit of keeping my wages from the pockets of those who voted for Obama.
I’ll always need groceries and gasoline (and price determines where I buy those), but other items we’ve bought on Craigslist or at flea markets (furniture, occasionaly clothing); big retailers’ advertising dollars are wasted on us (as are Hollywood’s messages).
Seems big business and lawyers try to own everyone. He’s his own man.
You don’t know the difference between a fight promoter and a fighter?
Do you know the difference between a promoter of a beauty contest and a beauty contest contestant?
Do you know the difference between a member of the Olympic Committee and an athlete who competes in the Olympics?
(They WOULD if he announced he has decided he wants to turn into a woman).
It’s really something how the sodomite Gestapo can fire someone for having and expressing Biblical beliefs on homosexuality, while at the same time they can also sue private businesses for not baking cakes decorated explicitly to “celebrate” a sodomite mirage.
Trump just found his VP.
Exactly. I may have missed it, but I’m not aware of any murderers’ pride parades or ribbons to wear to show support for pedophiles ( though maybe if I live long enough...)
Manny will be attacked by all the leftist stooges this week on the ESPN shows. Not one will defend him.
RE: Trump just found his VP.
Kidding aside, I am not sure how Trump views defending the rights of Christians NOT to participate or celebrate any gay wedding ceremonies.
I remember him saying that the SCOTUS decision on gay marriage is the “Law of the land” when he was asked about Kim Davis.

The agenda of the Weird Sexual Behavior group is not that you tolerate their behavior but that people judge their weird sexual behavior to be the equal of heterosexual behavior.
In other words, For the WSB people, there is nothing wrong with tv ads showing people of the same sex kissing or tv and movies showing people of the same gender in bed with each other doing weird things.
We're all supposed to accept this weird behavior as normal. Not only accept it, we're supposed to applaud it. And anybody who doesn't will be attacked and destroyed.
RE: It’s a free country.
Manny said it when it was in the Philippines. In this regard, that country is probably more free than the good old US of A.
