Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day brings out supporters, protesters [W:529]

Ikari said:
Yeah I know, you've posted that dumb ass link as much as you possibly could. How many people eat at Chick-Fil-A every day? How many of those do you have getting sick every day? It's called statistics, perchance it's time to learn it.

Coincidence is just a complicated way of spelling God.

Statistics could be the hand of God smiting the intolerant.

He works in mysterious ways.

God forbid a CEO states he/she supports the unborn's/fetus's right to live.

There'd probably be violence. :roll:

Nahh, we know better, violence usually comes from the anti-choice crowd.

When was the last time you heard about an abortion clinic being firebombed by a pro-choicer ?

If the CEO said he stood by a womans right to choose, the chances of violence would be greater IMO.

Are you going to blame your lack of intelligent response on sky fairies too?

It is time for America to learn that Ranch in fact DOES NOT go on everything.

EWWW, I agree.

The Waffle Fries CLEARLY go best with the Polynesian sauce. That's just a great combo. The salty with the sweet...so good

That totally side-steps my original point.

I'm asking what would happen if instead the CEO supported the unborn's/fetus's right to live. Would there be even more bitching and moaning for that CEO daring to give an answer when interviewed?

So you think it's perfectly OK to advocate for segregation and Jim Crow Laws, as long as it's done with a smile on your face and without blurting out the n-word?

Of course it does. Here, I put it on my fries. Here, I put it on my burger. Here, I put it on my dog. Here, I put it on Rahm Emmanuel's dog. Here, I put it on George Bush's head (no disrespect intended). See, it'll go on EVERYTHING.

BTW, topic drift notwithstanding, I regard the main issue here as free speech. Sure, speech has consequences, but they are NOT suppose to include retribution from the government simply for stating a contrary opinion. The thugs and goons who stood on the authority of their office and threatened a company for what its leader thought are clearly unamerican and deserving of condemnation. If the people of Chicago don't rise up and throw Emmanuel out of office then they are cowards who don't love freedom. And that goes for all the other cities and wards where the political officials threatened to exclude Chick-fil-A.

Yep, but let's not pretend that this is just his personal view and not the view of Chick-Fil-A. They are one and the same.

He was speaking to The Baptist Press, not his board, not his stock holders. He's just running his mouth.

This isn't the first time he's done it, and he's been defiant when called out on it. If he was just running his mouth, then he would have walked his statement back and/or apologized. Or his board would've made him (if they didn't like the brand image he was projecting).

Now if he were actively discriminating against homosexuals, I would say you would have a more valid point. But that isn't the case, yes? And in such case it's just an individual running his mouth about his ideals.

He's not just running his mouth, Chick-Fil-A has donated millions of dollars to pro-discrimination organizations and anti-gay hate groups.

It's his f'n money! Make your own damned multi-million dollar company and donate to "pro"-gay organizations. Jesus ****ing Christ on a pogo stick.

If the people of Chicago haven't revolted for 1/10 of the **** Daley did, then they ain't gonna do it.

Yeah, because supporting same-sex marriage is just SO different from supporting segregation, right? :roll:
I'm still waiting for you to explain the distinction. But I'll not hold my breath.
 
how long before chick fil-A is a "Whites only" restaurant?

Did anyone say it wasn't? Do you bother to follow the chain of discussion, or do you just kind of throw out some slightly-relevant talking point and take the conversation in whatever new direction you'd like?

I can just not buy their chicken sandwiches.

Yeah, that's fine. But you go a step beyond. You excuse government force and threat against an individual exercising his rights. And that's f'd up right there.

Do you really need to be reminded of what you wrote. How you said it's no big deal that Chicago threatened them, it was saber rattling, it wasn't valid threat, blah blah blah? Or was that hazlnut? Y'all are starting to blur together at this point.

There was a threat? I must have missed that. Help me out.

Boston and Chicago threatened to keep Chick-Fil-A out after this. Do you need to be helped out on this, or are you just being dishonest?
