I suppose so, perhaps I misunderstood the reason. Everyone I hear talking about this has been talking about First Amendment stuff, so I assumed that was what it was about. Sorry if I completely missed the point on this one.Looks like I'm going to be the one going against the bandwagon here. I don't think he should have been kicked from the show. I'm probably one among few who thinks the First Amendment should be as close to an absolute right as possible. (Obviously it can't be a full absolute right, as then it would be legal to shout "Fire!" in a crowded public area) You should be able to express any opinion you want, whenever you want, without needing to worry about PC or offending someone. Losing your job because of an opinion is just as bad as losing a job for being gay.
He didn't lose his job for having an opinion. He lost his job for causing damage to his employer's reputation. If you work in a shop and decide to tell all the customers about your mysoginistic opinion of women the shop is likely going to fire you because they don't want their female customers driven away.
What makes you think that?I'm sure that's not true.I guess that's what makes me different from other people, it is literally impossible to offend me, and I'm confused when others are offended by trivial things.Looks like I'm going to be the one going against the bandwagon here.

Losing your job because of an opinion is just as bad as losing a job for being gay.That is absolutely ridiculous. Say whatever you want without offending someone? And how do you imagine that could work in reality?

This is why I find it difficult to believe someone could believe in a flat earth without associating it with religion. It seems odd that this would be the only flat plane in existence without some higher power determining it is so. I'm curious to hear athiest FEers remarks on this, do you think that the flatness of earth, the uniqueness of it, contributed to life forming on our planet? Although since I suppose you believe we have not observed any other planets or moons, you believe there very well could be life on them.An what about that other planets? Are they flat too?
I don't believe so, and I actually question the logic of referring to these celestial bodies as "other planets." We've always done it in the past because it's what we're used to, but using that term suggests the RE assumption that these bodies are similar enough to the earth to expect similar basic characteristics. That, of course, leads to the old question, "So why is the earth the only planet that's flat? Why is it so special?"
