quote:

“I’m not against the gay people,” Pacquiao said. “I’m not condemning them. … I have a cousin (who is) gay. I have relatives (who are) gay. I have a lot of friends (who are) gay, so I’m not condemning gays. What I said is I’m not in favor of same-sex marriage. That’s the one thing I said to the guy.
quote:

The examiner.com story contained a Bible passage calling for the death of “a man (who) lies with a man,” and Pacquiao said many readers erroneously believed he had quoted that verse. He said he had not. “My favorite verse in the Bible is ‘Love one another,’ and ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself,’” Pacquiao said. “It’s in the Bible: Do not judge. I’m not judging.”

And WaltOReily is leaving the title the same because he is an attention whore and wants people to click on his thread.

Guess so. He learned from this writer how to deceive his audience.

He won't be fired because he wasn't hired by the Examiner. Its basically a blog website where pro-am writers can contribute an article. He will probably be asked to not contribute anymore.

ETA: This is a telling sign about why he wrote the article the way he did:
quote:

Examiners are paid based on a black box system considering page views and other metrics, or the "Gawker-model", made famous by the blog Gawker.com. During 2009, many of the writers were receiving $0.01 per page view. Examiner.com later offered a variety of pay scale options to their writers.[18] Examiner.com now bases compensation on variables such as subscriptions, page view traffic and session length.[19]


If so, he made a lot of money. Still a douche.
