Chick-fil-a

[rwh11385]

Won't see anything different from me. I am of the stance that everyone should be able to do whatever the hell they want, so long as it doesn't impede on the freedom of others to do the same.

So you support legalized gay marriage then?

[Exodus_2pt0]

Why wouldn't I?

I never stated my personal opinions on the topic. I simply stated my support for a private corporation to have their own opinions, especially when it has nothing to do with their business.

if marriage is a right; why is polygamy and marital incest wrong?

if marriage is a right; why is polygamy and marital incest wrong?

Marriage shouldn't be a right.

[rwh11385]

Marriage shouldn't be a right.

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.

if marriage is a right; why is polygamy and marital incest wrong?

The 1950s called, they want their argument against people marrying who they want back (the polygamy and incest question, as well as most other arguments - unnatural, tradition, etc.):

“The amalgamation of the races is not only unnatural, but is always productive of deplorable results. The purity of the public morals, the moral and physical development of both races, and the highest advancement of civilization . . . all require that [the races] should be kept distinctly separate, and that connections and alliances so unnatural should be prohibited by positive law and subject to no evasion.”

(Source: Dissenting California Supreme Court Justice objecting to that Court's decision striking down a state law ban on interracial marriage in Perez_v. Lippold, 198 P.2d 17, 41 (1948 ), (Shenk, J. dissenting))

“The underlying factors that constitute justification for laws against miscegenation closely parallel those which sustain the validity of prohibitions against incest and incestuous marriages.”

(Source: Perez v. Lippold, 198 P.2d at 46 (Shenk, J., dissenting, quoting
from a prior court case))

“[T]he State's prohibition of interracial marriage . . . stands on the same footing as the prohibition of polygamous marriage, or incestuous marriage, or the prescription of minimum ages at which people may marry, and the prevention of the marriage of people who are mentally incompetent.”

(Source: Excerpted United States Supreme Court oral argument transcripts from Loving v. Virginia, from Peter Irons and Stephanie Guitton, eds., May it Please the Court (1993) at 282-283, quoting Virginia Assistant Attorney General R. D. McIlwaine, arguing for Virginia's ban on interracial marriage)

“[S]uch laws [banning interracial marriage] have been in effect in this country since before our national independence and in this state since our first legislative session. They have never been declared unconstitutional by any court in the land although frequently they have been under attack. It is difficult to see why such laws, valid when enacted and constitutionally enforceable in this state for nearly one hundred years and elsewhere for a much longer period of time, are now unconstitutional under the same constitution.”

Would not hit... hahaha

but srsly why do people care, i've never eaten at one of these places.

Its delicious. Their Chick-filet-sauce is AMAZING. It's like everyone of my favorite dipping sauces in one.

[Exodus_2pt0]

^^^ That and their nuggets really taste like they were touched by the hand of god.

I dread the day I checked the calorie count for ONE pack... Instant C-c-c-combo breaker... It's like meeting your childhood superhero in person only to find he's a middle aged fat prick..

I have reverted back to Honey Roasted BBQ and Honey Mustard..
So bomb though.. I work there and get a free meal, and I still don't think that's enough! Have yet to get sick of the stuff..

[2761377]

it doesn't seem as if the boycott is working- there has never been a line out the door here before. what you can't see are the 12 cars in or trying to get in the drive through line. 13:40 1Aug2012. Irvine ca., a democratic enclave in otherwise red O.C.

this foolish, politically motivated uproar over nothing will leave chick fil a just fine, whether or not they move into chicago or s.f.

[Farbin Kaiber]

I'm heading out to eat there later this afternoon.

[JinormusJ]

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:

[Cabriolet]

dude in no way does your argument for race have anything to do with sexual preference.

[rwh11385]

your*


Actually, since the exact same arguments were used for both and it was based on ignorance and prejudice against other people's civil rights, I think they have a lot of similarities.

Just imagine, you'd be the type against woman's suffrage and interracial marriage a few decades ago. Hopefully your kids won't judge you too hard when they ask you about this issue.

Since those "other" people are one's customers or the consuming public.

......and? You traded your money for a product, a product which you received. That's as far as your hold over the company goes, to give you the item they accepted your money for. Why the fuck do you have the audacity to believe that you get a say on how that money is then spent after it is no longer yours? I consider myself rather liberal, but if you truly think the company owe's you anything because of your personal beliefs then you're a fool.

Perhaps I should go back to all the individuals who've bought past cars of mine and rally together with a few friends so the new owners paint them a color I'm more pleased with? I'm sure you'd hop on that bandwagon similarly to the ease at which you've climbed onto this one.

So question, would you buy conflict diamonds?

The point was that people buy from brands that support what they like, and shy away from ones that do the opposite. (That was alluded to a dozen or so words after what you quoted, did you not see that?) You can choose who to buy from going forward. Trying to twist what I said into retroactively controlling a business's profits is ridiculous. Is there something you guys are drinking that make all your arguments crazy?
