Chick-Fil-A Apppreciation Day

[Retro Lyra]

Flaming Christians?



But on topic: Is this any surprise coming from a man who thinks we should change American law to follow Christian law?

Is that baby shitting fire balls?

Your guess is as good as mine.

[Forster Keys]

What a stupid name.

[Forsher]

What a stupid name.

For the day or the company (which appears to be in fast food)? Both are idiotically daft names created by half-wits and dunder heads.

As many of you have heard, Chick-fil-a has had quite a lot of anger and hatred pointed toward it because of their anti-gay status. Apparently, Mike Huckabee has had enough of this, and has decided to make August 1 "Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day". His words on the matter:

The goal is simple: Let's affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for the Godly values we espouse by simply showing up and eating at Chick Fil-A on Wednesday, August 1. Too often, those on the left make corporate statements to show support for same sex marriage, abortion, or profanity, but if Christians affirm traditional values, we're considered homophobic, fundamentalists, hate-mongers, and intolerant.

So far, 8,000 people have signed up to participate in the event. What are your opinions on the matter, NS? Personally, I believe he has the right to believe what he wants, and if he wants to throw his faith into the Bible, so be it. I do not like this entire celebration, however. It gives off the stink of "shove your morales down everyone's throat".

As one comment on the article read, "I will be celebrating Chik-Fil-A day at Popeyes."

Personally? I think his business should be completely shutdown or given new management. I don't believe in any economic or political area should you mix your religious values with your profession lest it is required to do so i.e. priest. Essentially, keep religion out of economics, and politics. Man seems like a nut.

He IS a nut.
But shutting down his business simply because we don't like his beliefs not only violates the Establishment Clause it also sets a VERY bad precedent which says that any businessmen who says something the government doesn't like can get shut down.
Thats not ok.

It's not even a clever innuendo. It reminds me of oily food and cars driving around in a circle. Nationalise the place and change the name to something that doesn't inspire me to commit violence.

He may be one, but you can't start randomly shutting down buisnesses because your opinion doesn't match the one of another person's.

So we'll let the thing run its course until it either dies out, gets mereged, or gets locked due to flaming Christains.

And people wonder why I start to laugh like a hyena when they bring up sharia law as being a problem.

Except their opininon involves denying rights to a minority population based on a radical interpretation of a holy book.

This isn't a matter of "I don't like what you say because I'm personally offended." Their "opinion marginalizes defames and frankly abuses human beings and strips them of fundamental rights that everyone else has access to.

Besides, the food there sucks anyway.

[Costa Fiero]

Is it just me or did anyone else think that Chick-Fil-A was a new burger from KFC?

It's not?

No. I encountered it in relation to that muppet thread so until I got its Wikipedia article I assumed it was some sort of educationally interested thing. Which is strange now that I think about it, oh well.

I have never eaten at Chik-Fil-A. Doubt I'll ever will.

The only thing that could top this comedy is a comment on CfA by George Takei.

They serve dry tasteless chicken breaded with dry tasteless breading that's either too dry or too soggy with grease and slap it in a dry tasteless bun....oh and with two soggy pickles that make the ones you get from McDonalds look garden fresh by comparison.

Trust me, you're not missing much by not going there.

I am not supporting their beliefs, but you still cannot just take away one's buisness because they're not too bright. A stupid move to openly say that gays aren't normal or whatnot? Yes. An opinion? Yes. You can't take away a buisness based on a belief.

And consumers have a right to exercise their beliefs by not purchasing anything from a business with a view that offends them.

And if that statement had been worded to say black or lation or asian people you can bet there would be a massive shitstorm outside of the corporate headquarters and potentially an uncofortable degree of federal scrutinization.

But hate the gays? Sure why not, it's the new thing in bigotry.

So it's up to us consumers to starve them, which is what I was getting at.

Exactly. I never denied that. I'm merely saying to imply that one can have someone's buisness taken away just because of different beliefs is, at its core, stupid.

Why can't I? And, let's be clear--when we're talking about 'taking away their business' we're talking about me not going there. They're not entitled to my business. If I think that they're douchebags and fund douchy things with their profits, why can I not stop giving them money to help support their douchbaggery?

That's not what I'm saying at all. When the first person wrote it, they meant literaly take the company's president and booting him. If he a superior it be possible but the head of a company probably won't get replaced.

Jesus, people.

[Blouman Empire]

1) Mike Huckabee was once considered Presidential material. Those days are over!
2) Why would I care either way about a fast food chain I haven't visited in four years?

Thanks, but no thanks Mike. I'm thinking Arbys!

Blech, my mother went there once and claimed her burger was green.

It was St Patrick's Day

If you write sentences like that, you shouldn't be surprised if people don't understand your intended meaning.

Have pity on me. It's 7 AM and I haven't been able to go to sleep for a few days.

[Samuraikoku]

Company acts in a discriminatory way. People boycott company because it acts in a discriminatory way.

People are against the Godly way Christianity espouses.

Makes sense.

Of course not.
