http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Colitas/18702 I know this is old news, but what do you all think about that &quot;Bounty&quot; hunter dude getting into trouble for things he said in his own home?&nbsp; Should he be fired?&nbsp; Should his son get a swift kick in his butt for selling out the highest bidder?&nbsp; Or do you think that this was something that the American people should have known about coming from such a well respected individual, fashion guru, upstanding citizen,&nbsp;and role model from a guy named &quot;Dog&quot;.&nbsp; I mean really.&nbsp; I know I am being a little judgmental here, but did it really surprise anyone that a word like that would come out of &quot;his&quot; mouth.&nbsp; Look at him.&nbsp; Look at what he does for a living.&nbsp; He isn't delivering flowers to little old ladies.&nbsp; And the thing that I like the most about this story, is the exact reason he gave for not wanting his son to date the woman is exactly what happen.&nbsp; It was a family matter not a national matter.&nbsp; I mean really, I don't there is one person that can say they could have a video camera or a listen device in the privacy their home 24/7 and not offend someone.&nbsp; Whether it be friends, family, co-workers, bosses, the church, etc.&nbsp; It's not like he was making a speech or a televised event and said these things.&nbsp; It's too much in my opinion.&nbsp; Do I agree with him, no.&nbsp; I don't even like the guy.&nbsp; But that is why I have the&nbsp;choice not watch his show.&nbsp; I don't go around crying that I don't like this guy and he needs to be sued.&nbsp; If what he said was so offensive to a lot a people, which I am sure it was, stop watching his show and eventually the network would lose and pull it.&nbsp; Stay out of his personal life.&nbsp; Just my opinion.&nbsp; I know this is old news, but what do you all think about that &quot;Bounty&quot; hunter dude getting into trouble for things he said in his own home?&nbsp; Should he be fired?&nbsp; Should his son get a swift kick in his butt for selling out the highest bidder?&nbsp; Or do you think that this was something that the American people should have known about coming from such a well respected individual, fashion guru, upstanding citizen,&nbsp;and role model from a guy named &quot;Dog&quot;.&nbsp; I mean really.&nbsp; I know I am being a little judgmental here, but did it really surprise anyone that a word like that would come out of &quot;his&quot; mouth.&nbsp; Look at him.&nbsp; Look at what he does for a living.&nbsp; He isn't delivering flowers to little old ladies.&nbsp; And the thing that I like the most about this story, is the exact reason he gave for not wanting his son to date the woman is exactly what happen.&nbsp; It was a family matter not a national matter.&nbsp; I mean really, I don't there is one person that can say they could have a video camera or a listen device in the privacy their home 24/7 and not offend someone.&nbsp; Whether it be friends, family, co-workers, bosses, the church, etc.&nbsp; It's not like he was making a speech or a televised event and said these things.&nbsp; It's too much in my opinion.&nbsp; Do I agree with him, no.&nbsp; I don't even like the guy.&nbsp; But that is why I have the&nbsp;choice not watch his show.&nbsp; I don't go around crying that I don't like this guy and he needs to be sued.&nbsp; If what he said was so offensive to a lot a people, which I am sure it was, stop watching his show and eventually the network would lose and pull it.&nbsp; Stay out of his personal life.&nbsp; Just my opinion.&nbsp; en-us <strong><font size="3">Hey whats wrong with the name dog? Colitas it would suck if what i say in my own home was recorded and broad casted for all to hear.Because believe it or not I'm not very politically correct. What is said in your own home should stay there. Its the advertisers that advertise on A&amp;E that threatened to pull their ads.I don't think the viewers care. If anything it would most likely make more people watch.Colitas its&nbsp;like you said its dog the bounty hunter we are talking about, Not a presidential Candidate</font></strong> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Colitas/18702/#c_174210 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Colitas/18702/#c_174210 <strong><font size="3">Hey whats wrong with the name dog?

The limelight isn't a particularily good place to be, everything you say and do gets scrutinized, but that comes with the territory. There are many, many celebrities that have used that word and have been scrutinized for it. As for Dogs son selling out to the highest bidder, to each thier own. No-one knows his true motive behind that was and really, do we care? I don;t think so. What is done is done. Do I think he should be sued? No Do I think that he has a right to his privacy? Sure.........but when you accept a position in the limelight then you need to be aware tht everything you do and say could be used against you. Of course just like the Ellen thing, this is blown out of proportion and became a national problem rather than a personal problem. It makes me wonder how many people really see what is important and what is not important. It seems the media likes to bombard people with stupid stories and issues that really shouldn;t be important, taking the importance off of the things we should be concerened with. Does anyone else remember when CNN was news and not 'entertainment' television? http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Colitas/18702/#c_174212 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Colitas/18702/#c_174212 My opinion is when you choose to become a household name, when you choose to be in the spotlight, you need to be held accountable for what you do and say in your&nbsp;public and your private life.
