Chick Fil-A Day!

[Neo Art]

Further its indicative of the overall problem, the idea that a major national company can come out in favor of discrimination is pretty revolting in and of itself. You don't dare see a company, regardless of viewpoint, coming out in favor of racial discrimination, we need that same attitude associated with things like this.

You know, there's a point there that's worth exploring. It really seems that the LGBTQ community is the last "acceptable" target.

If the CEO of a major company came out and not only said "you know, I just don't think that blacks should be able to marry white people. I support the 'traditional' version of marriage...to people of the same color" and revealed that he had donated money he earned from his customers to white power groups, there would have been a media shitstorm of, pardon the pun, biblical proportions. Every politician from the president on down to my local dog catcher would be SCREAMING. There'd by national boycots, and the business would be shuttered in a week. Nobody would have batted an eyelash at their local rerepresentatives comdemning that viewpoint, and many would be shocked if they didn't.

But when it's homsexual discrimination, because of "religion", well then, that's ok. And when a few brave politicians actually stand up and say "it would be unacceptable if it were about color, it would be unacceptable if it were about religion, it's unacceptable now when it's about sexuality" the poor widdle dears on the right wing are crying crodile tears about the mean government picking on them, oh no!

I support, FULLY, those members of the government who have stood up and declared, publically, that these attitudes have no place in civilized society, and that businesses that funnel money to those causes have no place in progressive cities. Discrimination is discrimination, bigotry is bigotry, regardless of its source, or its direction. Shame on these bigots who wrap themselves in "religion" to continue the perpetration of the 21st century's new racism.

Not in my city.

Yet another source for delicious heart-attack inducing, cancerigenous shit made with low-quality meat and so full of oil and fat that it's the mother of all sources for morbid obesity.

To top it off, they recently declared themselves enemies of homosexuality and "good Christians", thus earning themselves the deserved hatred of most decent human beings, and the mindless love and devotion of the most extreme, stupid and hateful members of the far-right, who apparently would rather spend their money symbologically supporting anti-gay bigotry instead of using it to help the poor and the needy (you know...basic Christian behaviour).

Now, several individuals, organizations and local governments have decided to boycott this disgusting fast-food company, leading to accusations of gay-hating obesity-lovers of infringement of Free Speech.

Going to be honest here, I think if a community doesn't want your business opening up they have a right to tell you to fuck off. And most "conservatives" would be on my side (I'm looking at you Ron Paul libertarians, who think that the Civil Rights Act was an overreach by the federal government) but its funny how they change their tune or are silent when the corporation in question shares their nausea over gays.

It's this chicken like product slapped between buns and made by a right-wing Christian owned company who gives money to hate groups which uses dairy cows who are bad spellers and are known to damage private property and engage in public nuisance activities as mascots to advocate the eating of chicken rather than beef.

No problem with individuals protesting Chick-Fil-A. Big problem with government officials boycotting and threatening a legal business entity due to the religious beliefs of the CEO. That is what was being protested. If I were gay I would have a problem with the bigotry of the CEO but I would have an even bigger problem with a government official targetting a business due to religious beliefs.

Its not just symbolic though- Chik Fil A donates tons of money to "Beat the gay away" camps. So they're also financially backing abuse. This is a fact the "ebil liberal media" has ignored in favor of the "Der free speech!" line. Because they're cowards and journalism is dead.

Thats certainly not whats being protested. Christians are pissed, once again, that they are not getting the privileges they believe they are due. People are doing this "Chik Fil A Day" crap because some people had the audacity to advocate a boycott of Chik Fil A. Such boycotts have been called infringing on free speech, bullying corporations, and Santorum and some equally braindead Reverend called such boycotts "persecuting Christians." Since when are you a bad person for exercising purchasing power in a capitalist country? Why does Chik Fil A have some socialist entitlement to my money and to the land in my community available for development?

Once again, Christians are just pissed that they aren't getting the special treatment they feel they're owed.

If I were gay I would have a problem with the bigotry of the CEO but I would have an even bigger problem with a government official targetting a business due to religious beliefs.

No you wouldn't.

Yep. Now excuse me while I go eat home-made pizza and scoff at fast food restaurants.

I'd guess that you'd have a problem if the government is liberal. I get the feeling that, if the government was conservative, you wouldn't have a problem with them targeting non-Christian businesses.

Yeah, pretty much, except that ayt least Mickey D's fat-filled fried "food" has no problem with homosexuality.

Luckily, I've never ate there. I've never even seen one.

I am an Atheist Libertarian so your guess and your feelings are way off. I don't like government targetting any business based on the belief system, or non-belief system, of its CEO. Nice try though.

Everyone knows that Catholics aren't real Christians. Jack Chick said so.

That is actually correct.

No, its not, and such a claim shows a basic misunderstanding as to what it requires to be a Christian.

Catholics were around hundreds of years before the boneheads who started saying Catholics weren't Christian existed. Or were there not actually Christians before 1517?*


*Unless you count the Orthodox Church, but the people who say Catholics aren't Christian would say the same thing about the Orthodox.

Cool story. I've never been and don't plan on ever going. Even if I ate meat I'd get chicken from somewhere that doesn't donate my hard earned money to an organization that beats teenagers to death to "cure" them of faggotry.

Find me the verse in the Bible where it says "And thou shalt have a Pope to worship in my place, and thou shalt worship saints whose deeds are unverifiable at best, and thou shalt not consider this a violation of the first and second commandments, which it obviously isn't."

[Franklin Delano Bluth]

The OP is clearly not a Christian.

If the owner/whatever he is of Chick-Fil-A were a Christian, he'd know that there's nothing wrong with homosexuality. As a Christian, I am boycotting Chick-Fil-A because it is a decidedly anti-Christian business, and I want no part of it.

[Intangelon]

The claim that the government is shutting down Chick-fil-a restaurants strikes me as complete bullshit.

" City officials in Boston and Chicago vowed to block the restaurant from opening new locations in their cities."

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nationa ... bled=false

I would guess that was what was being referenced.

Then "the government" needed to be re-thought and replaced with the far less vague and far more honest "the governments of the cities of Boston and Chicago."

Without those changes, it's bullshit. Or chicken shit, more appropriately.
