Not being able to marry the person you love is indeed hurtful. Laugh if you want, but it will just make you look like a prick.

More like I don't vote for Quinn because I do not wish the city's money going to Chick-fil-a in law suits.

*shrugs* So the voters don't have the right to express their support of the would be mayor?

Whether they like quinn or not, has nothing to do with whether quinn, as mayor, can break the law by banning chick a fil.

You may have to question the operation of the head office of a company whose head makes a comment so incendiary that the company PR has to put out a statement that pretty much directly contradicts what the head man said and that bit of damage control may have caused so much stress that it may have lead to the death of the PR head.

As for what the sandwich tastes like? I only have second hand information, that being "not so great" and I'll not be getting to try them for myself since the nearest one is 25 miles away, at Oakland U.

I totally agree what you are saying but noted left-wing mayor of Boston is going (or wants) to disallow Chick-fil-a, becuase of the owner's thoughts on gay marriage, which is illegal.

He can try. The court case should be interesting.

Maybe it is because I am from the South, but there are plenty of mom and pop shops, that make better chicken sandwiches. And of course most of my family can make better chicken sandwiches.
