Adam's comments were not that of a normal adult. He should be apologetic about his lack of emphathy, especially, because he works with these individuals. His lack of professionalism should be rewarded by a change is his employment status, (clearly he is not there for the benefit of those who need his help).
Nonetheless, the first admendment guarantees our right to an opinion, no matter how offensive it is. One must distinguish between what opinons are worth listening to and which ones are to be ignored.
The individuals who have time to spend on this show, are not the decision makers of our society, thank goodness, so, as my dear departed father used to say, 'Mike, Listen and consider the source'. How true, I don't think that anything that these contestants have to say are worth much.
Today we are faced with a media world and individuals and groups are supposedly offended and require an apology for the comments. Don Imus comments went far above the rights of the first admendment in all our minds, however, according to our present constitution, he had the right to say that, (Hard to swallow).
I think that the reason that there have not been any comments may be the handwriting on the wall for Big Brother, that segment for the better of the good should have been eliminated and the cast warned about making such comments, right to say it or not.
Ratings arn't everything.
