Many people were involved with the writing, production, acting, etc. Their hard work shouldn't be ignored or punished because of Cosby's acts. <br /><br />The Dukes of Hazzard boycott is just inane.

I can understand boycotting his stand up, but I don't agree with punishing the entire cast because of him.<br /><br />I feel the same way about the Duke's of Hazards.Madarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961709038011273122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-57520334252471241482015-09-15T11:37:40.736-07:002015-09-15T11:37:40.736-07:00I'm not nostalgic about The Cosby Show, but I ...I'm not nostalgic about The Cosby Show, but I grew up on his standup albums and I really can't listen to them now, and that bothers me. It doesn't seem possible that NONE of the accusers is telling the truth, and as Apatow says, that's enough. The idea of the statute of limitations on rape is somewhat insane. I do wish justice could be found. But will I ever be able to listen to "Chicken Heart" again? I honestly don't know.E.J.

This is especially controversial on Card's part, especially when the crux Ender's Game's game moral argument was how humanity was too quick to enact genocide (or in homosexuality's case, discrimination) against a race (lifestyle) we didn't bother to understand. As somebody who was raised in Card's faith until distancing myself from it during college until I "converted" to atheism, it's a certainly an amusing case where an artist's accolades can greatly be undermined by his actions or views.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291019969560457662noreply@blogger.com
