Shut down Dominic Monaghan's twitter for glorifying off-hand unfounded accusations about former co-stars.

Exactly these people father's before them did this and people are saying they are an embarrassment to Louisiana. Yes I'm embarrased for people who wake up early and bust their arse all day to make a living.
This was my argument. Forget what I said about Waterboy if you want to go that route.

You ever cook for them up there?

Do you think the show offers an even-handed portrayal of the culture you are talking about?
I don't think it takes a biased interpretation to get the idea that the characters on all of these "hard life" reality shows are being painted as superficial goofballs. The kinds of stereotypes that people can easily identify and chuckle at.
If these are real people, then why do they have no real depth beyond their catch phrases and silly mannerisms?

i dont think anyone is talking about their work ethic. its the emphasis put on the way they talk and the culture trying to make us look like unevolved nimwits that bugs me.

We all have stereotypes of others and they have been around before Swamp People

Yall are so butt hurt. If he would have came out and said hunters should stop killing deer like some believe you would not take his side. Being that you hate Swamp People show's your bias.
The reason I started this thread was to show how he believes we are hurting animals for no reason. You are against this because you hate this show.

why should topics of crawfish and the swamps make you embarrassed that's a part of our state. Hunting alligators is apart of our state too.
