Chick-fil-a

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

TROOF

Race =\= Sexual choice
And I say choice very purposefully

So question, would you buy conflict diamonds?

You're really going to try to equate this to genocide? The boldness in your attempt to find a parallel is amusing.

Well, you missed my point so extremely and seemed to try to say that a consumer cannot make decisions based on what the company supports... so yeah. If you want to believe that, then why would YOU not buy diamonds that fund fighting?

Is it audacious to take your business elsewhere because you don't want to support that?


Tell me if it is or is not acceptable for a consumer to judge what a business supports with its profits when considering purchasing from them?? (make up your mind)

[Exodus_2pt0]

I must be mistaken, because I swear you just compared Chick fil-a's stance on gay culture to conflict diamonds...

I questioned his assertion that it is wrong for me to judge a business's use of profits to support certain causes.

You used a horrible comparison. It made you come off as the sort that uses shock to get a point across.

I don't think anyone is arguing that, as many have said before... If you don't like it, don't buy it. That being said, again, it's not really any of our business what someone does with their own money. However, if you don't like it, don't give it to them. Problem solved.

They don't as a company support certain causes. he as a person supports causes. just because i'm conservative/religious doesn't mean the paycheck from my company means they support my views.

Cale turned what I said and was against just that: That it was wrong for me to judge a company's contributions when purchasing. I provided a clear example of why that stance of his was dumb.

Actually, you're wrong: http://dynamodata.fdncenter.org/990p...1012_990PF.pdf

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

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.

like this one?

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

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

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.

Here's irony for you:

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.

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.

[Eric]

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!
