Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...
Quote: This new video is simply unbelievable. Does this guy forget that this is a world where everything is recorded? In the video above Phil Robertson says the following in a rather disturbing monologue.Quote:“Now that’s a woman. They got to where they’re hard to find. Mainly because these boys are waiting 'til they’re twenty years old before they marry them. Look, you wait 'til they get to be twenty years old and the only picking that’s going to take place is your pocket. You got to marry these girls when they’re about fifteen or sixteen and they’ll pick your ducks.” Quote:Robertson is no stranger to doing just that. He began dating his wife Marsha when she was fourteen and he a legal adult. They married two years later when she was just sixteen. The age of consent in Louisiana is seventeen years old, and it is a crime for anyone regardless of age to engage in sexual relations with a fourteen year old. If a person is under seventeen, it is illegal for anyone more than two years older to have sex with them. No matter what, it is likely that Robertson broke at least one law. ( http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2013/12/phil-robertson-in-2009-men-should-marry.html)] Oh, yeah, real paragon of religious virtue: Quote:For Phil, seven years between the ages of 21 and 28 were like sliding down a muddy river bank. He drank too much whiskey, ran wild, smoked marijuana, popped pills and hunted ducks, leaving his wife, affectionately called “Miss Kay,” to raise their three sons alone. http://www.southeastoutlook.org/news/features/article_8bea6dc0-051c-11e3-9628-0019bb30f31a.html Then, of course, after throwing said wife and kids out because she'd become a “holy roller, a Bible thumper and goody two shoes", he found religion...and is now the paragon saint of right-wing conservatives. The fun is just getting started...I'm so happy for all our right wingers, this is just the kind of guy they no doubt want us all to emulate!

Quote:Originally posted by NewOldBrownCoat: Byte , there's a couple of states down in the Old South where the age of consent was as low as 13 only a few years ago-- Arkansas and Alabama, I think. Real bastions of modern enlightened civilization. Quite a few where it's 15 or 16, but most states it's 18, and has been since the 1940's at least.

Quote:Marry girls when they're '15 or 16,' said 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson (HLNtv.com) -- "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson is ruffling feathers again, this time for comments he made years ago about how girls should marry when they're still teenagers. "They got to where they're getting hard to find, mainly because these boys are waiting 'til they get to be about 20 years old before they marry 'em," Robertson says in a video clip that resurfaced Monday. "Look, you wait 'til they get to be 20 years old, the only picking that's going to take place is your pocket. You got to marry these girls when they are about 15 or 16. They'll pick your ducks." In the video, Robertson is recounting an anecdote at a speaking engagement. He describes the story as "river rat counseling" he was giving to a "boy" of unknown age. Robertson is four years older than his wife, Kay, whom he married when she was 16 years old, according to A&E's website. The reality show patriarch was speaking at a Georgia Sportsmen Ministry event when he recounted this advice, according to the video's description. The clip was originally posted in 2009 by YouTube user wakemakerducks, which is also the name of Robertson's company. It was posted again to YouTube on Monday. In the newly resurfaced footage, Robertson also lists other qualities he advised the boy to look for in a future wife. "Make sure that she can cook a meal. You need to eat some meals that she cooks, check that out. Make sure she carries her Bible. That'll save you a lot of trouble down the road," he said. HLN has reached out to the "Duck Dynasty" family for comment but has yet to hear back. http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/31/showbiz/duck-dynasty-phil-robertson-comments/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

Quote:Varies by state, but generally 18, with two exceptions: 19 in Nebraska and 21 in Mississippi. Most states, however, allow minors below 18 to marry (generally they have to be at least 16 but sometimes lower) with parental and/or judicial consent. Some states allow female minors below 18 to marry without parental or judicial consent, if she is pregnant. Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, and Oklahoma allow pregnant teens or teens who have already had a child to get married without parental consent. In Florida, Kentucky, and Oklahoma, however, the young couple must have authorization from a court. Maryland requires that the minor be at least sixteen. Even with parental approval, many states will require court approval when a person is 16 years of age or less. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriageable_age

Quote:The controversy surrounding Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has focused mainly on his comments about homosexuality and bestiality, and to a lesser degree, his assertion that black people in the Jim Crow South were happier, but in the GQ interview that started it all, Robertson also equated Muslims with Nazis. Like his other controversial statements, this is nothing new for Robertson, who explained to an Arkansas congregation, in 2008, what would “do in the Muslims,” as well as “the Chinese,” and that Muslims are “famous for murder.” In the middle of his speech before the Hillsboro Church of Christ in El Dorado, AR, Robertson asked “What will do the Muslims (pronounced “Moose-limbs”) in?” Brandishing his Bible, Robertson answered “Violations of the law, that’s what’ll do ‘em in.” “What will do the Chinese in, if they don’t turn to Jesus?” Robertson asked, then answered “One violation.” Later in the speech, Robertson talked about those who are “controlled by the evil one.” “That’s why they run jet aircraft into buildings, because they’re under control of the evil one, that’s why they rob and kidnap and rape and pillage, because they’re under control of the evil one. That’s why they murder, from the Nazis, to the Shintoists, to the communists to this latest crop!” “You say ‘Why do they murder, why do they hate us?!” Robertson bellowed, slapping the podium. “Because all of them, those four groups, 80 years of history, they all want to conquer the world, they all rejected Jesus, and they’re all famous for murder. Nazis, Shintoists, communists, and the Muhammadists.” In case anyone thought he was referring only to some bad apples, Robertson added “Every one of them, the same way.” http://www.mediaite.com/online/video-phil-robertson-explains-what-will-do-the-muslims-in-and-the-chinese/

Quote: Girl declared brain dead remains on life support OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A 13-year-old California girl declared brain dead after tonsil surgery remained on life support Tuesday after a state judge gave her family at least another week to find a place to move her. Doctors at Children's Hospital Oakland want to take Jahi McMath off the machines that are keeping her body functioning, saying she will never recover. Her family wants to continue life support, saying they have hope she will still pull through. Jahi's mother, Nailah Winkfield, hailed the judge's decision to give them until Jan. 7 before allowing the hospital to withdraw life support as an answer to her prayers and a sign that she has been right to keep fighting for the teen. With television cameras clustered outside the hospital, the family maintained a vigil as the Monday deadline approached. When Winkfield heard of the judge's decision to push back the deadline, she wept and hugged relatives outside the hospital. "Who wants to know the date and the time their child would die?" Winkfield said. "I don't care what anyone has to say about what I'm doing. ... I have to do what is right for me and for Jahi." http://news.yahoo.com/girl-declared-brain-dead-remains-life-support-174841265.html?.tsrc=tmobustoday

Quote:Originally posted by AURaptor: Sad case. Girl, 13, was over weight. She had sleep apnea. But instead of trying to get her to lose weight, and possibly give some relief that way, a complicated surgery was performed instead. Basically, 3 procedures taking place at once. It didn't go well. Now she's brain dead, and the family has taken their 'case' to the public, via the media.
