Chick-fil-a

[mrsleeve]

I was trolling the whole time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH


You cant fool us h0mie :)

I'd say more than fine... Manager just called me and 3 other people in tonight to work a 5 hour shift until 10; that makes 15 total people on staff tonight. Average number for a regular night? 5...
You can imagine how crazy it was for lunch..
In fact.. I might go in after my clinicals tonight for an after hour sandwich..

Leave it to liberal media to give out the free publicity :up:

I went by today and I knew, as I was making a left by Costco, that the traffic jam was due to the Chick-fil-A appreciation. Freakin packed at Old Canal Rd. McDonalds and Taco Bell must have been bummed, or maybe they got good business cause people didn't have time to wait at CFA. I ended up at Duke's.

Duh holmes. You went from one extreme without the ability to rationalize, nor do things like use logic or facts, and then reached the opposite extreme after some apparent 180 degree flip-flop.

The Klan is allowed to exist, think what they want, and even exercise their freedom to assemble... but that doesn't mean that people need to go and try to "understand their mindset", nor limited from judging it as incorrect.

You can go ahead and play your childish games and continue to wave your proverbial KKK=Gay "intolerance" Red-card instead of providing me with a substantial and valid argument all you want

I'm not playing your game

On top of that: you failed to answer my completely valid question

If you're referring to ME as a former hippie turned right wing nut job, i'll take that as a compliment.

The Supreme Court disagrees with you. And some nutjob former-hippie, now RWNJ - still without any ability to be logical or reason - doesn't matter in the determination of if it is or not.

Nothing wrong with that, marriage is between and a man and a woman. if companies support your view that is isn't just between a man and a woman, than how is not their right to do so. there are people on both side and therefore you will have money flow on both side. and you cant say it's right for one side to be funded and not the other, just because you are on one side of the view.

Not in some states... and that's not what some people believe is right.

Who said they can't fund what they want to fund? But consumers can judge that how they want and choose not to do business so those views they don't agree with don't get funded. The point is you were wrong about it just being the CEO and his family, instead the company as well, and what those contributions went to. People should be able to not support companies that support what they don't believe in.

What's hypocritical is conservatives call for the boycotting of companies that are LGBT-friendly, yet throw a hissie fit when people do the same for the opposite view?

In the same way, my attitude is the same. I don't believe that gays are making a correct choice and I definitely don't believe in their patten of lifestyle; but, I still respect them in their own manner of living and work to better understand why they choose the way they do. Like I said before, one of my shift leads works for CFA an he's gay, and shoot, well.. He's one of the coolest guys I know, we hang out after closing with the night group from time to time. I have no problem getting along with him, but don't I believe in his mindset.

Personally, for someone to come and say I HAVE to believe in something I don't because it's the "politically correct" thing to do is the true bigot. What happened to people tryin to understand my mindset? Did that go out the widow just cause the system favors them over me..?

:nice:

I dont think people really know what the president of Chick-fil-a really said, “While my family and I believe in the Biblical definition of marriage (between a male and female), we love and respect everyone, who disagrees.” How exaclty is this hate filled speech?

On another note, I wanted to grab some today, but the local chick-fil-a had about 100+ cars in the drive through, and a massive line out the building wrapping all the way around the back!

:nice:

They gave nearly $2M to conservative groups in 2010 which centered around defining marriage as man and a woman.

In response to Google's recently announced "Legalize Love" campaign, the conservative non-profit group American Family Association has decided to boycott Google. Take a look at other brands and products that have been boycotted for supporting LGBT rights.

so they support some random christian summer camp, who cares. they dont discriminate on who they hire. and therefore they are paying gay/lesbians and you could say they support them and their views by the same logic.

WinShape also gives money to organizations who work against gay rights, not just a summer camp. They gave nearly $2M to conservative groups in 2010 which centered around defining marriage as man and a woman.


That's ridiculous. Paying someone for their hours does not mean you support their views. Now if the company matched their contributions to charity (which some companies do), then you can make that claim.

like this one?

How do you not call it backstepping when their PR person responding quickly to say they will "no longer" be involved in same-sex marriage political topic after their CEO says that the company stands for biblical definition of marriage, popular or not.

I just wanted to try it. I guess i will need to wait for this to blow over before i sample a chicken sandwich

Maybe you should try finding facts next time.

like this one?

if you have paid attention to the news at all, it does matter or CFA wouldn't have backstepped their position.

The corporation directly supports WinShape, in addition to them personally supporting it. Maybe you should try finding facts next time.
