the funny thing about this is the kind of people you're gonna find packing those lines are gonna b middle-aged to elderly white men/women wearing button-up shirts and slacks like they're about to go to bible study...
from the looks of it not many people know what exactly is goin on. people aren't upset by their opinions, or if they're gonna get served a number 2 with waffle fries, people are upset with their ACTIONS. donating 9 million dollars to anti gay groups over 4 years is not an opinion
that translates to "fuck gays"

Black guy I work with took up a collection and went to CFA and bought like 100 sammiches.
Something I find funny. You have a huge problem with a business owner stating his opinion, which has zero effect on their service, but I dont see a mention of the Chicago Alderman or the Boston Mayor. Those 2 morons are going to use their influence to prevent CFA from opening stores. Is it OK for them to deny a business license based on an opinion? Would it also be OK for a politician to use his/her influence to deny a govt contract to a company because its CEO is a Dem or GOP?

this to me makes the most sense...if you like it you like it, if you don't you don't..they're not gonna flip cause they lose one customer over the owners opinion.
everyone has a right to an opinion and thats fine, but when they start using your money to support groups that were created to putting a stop to homosexuality - a lifestyle that you have no power over is just plain stupid.
i could not possibly give less of a gently handjob what any CEO's opinions on any given matter are, just as I could not possibly give any less of a gently taintlicking what any celebrity's opinions on any given matter are. but when a CEO chooses to force those opinions into the public spotlight, then that CEO has to be prepared for backlash from those who disagree with him or her.
for myself, i'm not going to be spending money at chick-fil-a anymore. i'm going to take a few hundred out of my next paycheck and send it in to whatever local equality/gay rights group i can find.
maybe i'll just use it to buy a booth at next year's pridefest where i set up a bunch of cardboard cutout cows with signs that read "EAT MOR COK". that's funny right? cows who paint words on billboards all wrong - sorta like a 4 year old.
free speech is not the same as speech without consequence.
politically the one who says what the people want to hear will get the most votes. even if that president or anyone who is involved in politics has a gay brother - they will never support it because that's going against god, the united states, the people, the founding fathers... so politically what those mayors are doing is a great strategy.

"get with the Gs, or get on yo knees"
ignorant?
bro, do you even know what that word means? you would think that over the years you would develop a little bit of intelligence, but you're still the clueless little dummy that you've always been.
first of all, instead of calling me ignorant how about you post up WHY you think that and counter with brilliance.
can you do that?
or should i expect you to continue to throw pre-emptive strikes on yourself? "hold on alex, lemme guess you're gonna call me lame and tarded huh?" that has always been your way of claiming victory over someone. instead of standing your ground you curl up into your pathetic shell like a little disgusting snail

again, you have nothing to add to shit.
didn't your relationship with bri get a little heated on facebook? information was getting thrown out there and people knew everything that you two rugrats were agruing about? it even hit IA didn't it? facebook was designed to trap immature lil fucks in a delusional world where everyone "likes" what you say. you think people who arent on facebook are boring? im an extrememly charismatic person, evan.
now that ive grown and am a little bit more knowledgable on life i can talk for days. i can chat with a random person about all sorts of things...things people on facebook wouldnt give a fuck about. so nah stupid, it's not that im boring it's that ive evolved into something more and don't require internet interaction or internet acceptance. i dont need to prove to random people how cool life has been to me, how cool my daughter has grown into, how nice my bank account looks.
so no. you havent hit anything on the head.
instead of trying to prove yourself to me how about you just ignore my posts, my threads and quit trying to get me to notice you. you've always been a buzzing fly when im around. i bet back then you wish you could've chilled with me...i kinda wished we did just so i could have clowned on you face to face. heh, im the ignorant one though right? cause i think ceo's who spend millions on groups who are against gays are evil and because i dont use facebook?
please, it's been how many years that you've tried to win something over me?
for once give me a nice battle.
or don't i really don't care.

"get with the Gs, or get on yo knees"
back in the day, the kkk used to run orphanages, fairs, and widows support networks... it was a nice facade of charity over the targeted and brutal campaign to subjugate entire races of people who they considered less human
the violence and bigotry against someone who is gay, or perceived to be gay is very similarly supported by the "charitable" groups. those people are ostracized, told they are going to hell, and blamed for something that is entirely outside their control.
young people are beaten within an inch of their life. some, like that matthew shepard are brutalized and then killed. if someone can't see the similarity between a teenager dragged to death behind a truck because he accidentally hit on a straight guy, and a black man strung up in a tree because he whistled at a white girl, then i don't know what can drive that point home any further... maybe what that 300zx guy from chattanooga said isn't right after all... only outside the u.s do people get killed for being gay. right.
a lot of ugly shit in society gets a blind eye turned because people rarely have had to stand up for their moral convictions. it's easier to plead minor inconvenience because they don't know what to do in the face of something they worry is wrong
i have a gay uncle and he's real cool. he lives in california and one of my favorite uncles. and i have two gay friends who too are cool as hell, who have told me stories about their sexuality and how they've always known they were gay - even as young children.
homosexuality from a normal person's perspective is gross. i wouldn't want to get head by some dude, hell no that's fuck gross! but if that person is gay and finds another gay who makes him happy then who is anyone to get in the way of their happiness?

Religion is useless and counterproductive to the forward progression of ours species. /thread
I dont think anyone has a problem with gay people being together, but why do they have to change the definition of the marriage tradition? So, gay people should be able to participate in a christian union ceremony and be wed by a priest? even though their union goes against everything they stand for?
I'm in favor of gay couples getting marriage rights and benefits, but.... the christian ceremony of marriage should not be changed to accommodate their beliefs. I have no problem with gay people, but they need to give the same respect theyre asking for. You want the right to be openly gay and be respected, then respect the beliefs of christians and dont seek to redefine one of their traditions. Marriage is a union between man and woman, its not for you. Are you entitled to the same benefits these people receive? absolutely.... but quit expecting the world to bend over backwards to accommodate you. Marriage isnt for you, find something that is.
Are you trying to claim that Matthew Shepard was killed by an organization that receives donations from Chick-Fil-A? Do you have specific information that Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson were part of one of these charitable organizations?
Additionally, are you aware that they were accused of pretending to be gay to get Matthew Shepard to let them give him a ride home, and that they beat him, then took his home address planning to rob his home? That doesn't sound very homophobic.

Personally, I don't even like Chick-fil-a, so yesterday meant absolutely nothing to me. I had Zaxby's and it was 10x better. I only ever eat CFA when I have to.
Is it a surprise to me that they're so stuck on Christian values and the "sanctity of marriage"? No. What did shock me was Cathy's decision to be THAT vocal about that one specific topic. Yes, people are entitled to their own opinions, but you know when your voice will be heard a little louder than others'. Just like the people saying that they don't want to see gay people "being gay" around them, they probably don't wanna hear about your distaste for it or how you don't believe in what they do/feel because the bible says so...whether or not it actually DOES never matters, and you all know that.
Do I think people should boycott Chick-fil-a? Uh no. Just because the CEO says something, doesn't mean all the employees think and feel the same way. They have to make a living, as well, and going against the whole business is just gonna hurt them. We all know a few people boycotting the business isn't gonna shut them down, so it's pointless to waste the effort. Frankly, I am a little disappointed in his decision to make this a main focus for public view when he could be using his publicity and money towards something MUCH better and MUCH more important. I'm sure helping the sick and hungry would be much higher on God's list than voicing your opinion on gay marriage.
I'm not a believer in the bible AT ALL, but if you wanna come to me and start expressing your views, then I'll express mine. Other than that, there's no need to say anything. Just because you have the RIGHT to do something, doesn't mean you always should.

idk...... look at the 10 commandments, says a lot about things that effect the public image of christianity and nothing about feeding hungry or helping sick.
And Zaxbys is NOT better than Chick-fil-a.... they have better sides and such, but chicken vs chicken.... CFA dominates! I might go to CFA today and get a couple boxes of chicken, carry them over the zaxbys and order some fries and a salad.
TO ME, yes, Zaxby's is better and will always be better. CFA is disgusting.

Zaxbys vs. Chik Fil A....that's a tough one. I'd probably go with zaxbys being better since they have wings and badass toast.

Zaxbys is good, but CFA has the better fries. This is not debatable.
captain ds!!!!
Zaxby's is allright. But overpriced. Chick Fil A 5 piece chicken strips with polynesian and waffle fries makes me happy.
I got free clear tails with my ride.....
I can't agree here. Religion follows the same guideline as most thing "better in moderation", I grew up in a somewhat hostile environment, with a crap ton of horrible influences, and religion was the tool that created my moral compass (and a lil bit good parenting), but mostly religion. When i turned 13 i realized they started to sound like fairy tales and my parents allowed me to stop attending church with them and i haven't found it in myself to go back. However, I do realize most children trying to walk away from religion won't get to this easily and generally religion is counterproductive, but i wouldn't say useless
And zaxby's is better in every regard...except price![]()
BUILT NOT BOUGHT .........
I am not going to read everything said here but here I go. From what I understand The owner from chick fil a Cathy made a statement that outraged the gay community. My response is so what...Let the man voice his opinion. I feel sometimes that these gay people is forcing society to accept them. I have nothing against them, its just that their approach sometimes I do not agree. Tomorrow they are going to CFA and display affection at the restaurant...Really.. no Serously? Many people go to CFA and eat there with their family. For kids to see some shit like that it not ok. Call me what you want, but keep your shit behind closed doors. If my family or kids had to see 2 dudes kissing while we are eating there enjoying my chicken sandwich and waffle fries, my temper would get the best of me

You caught me. I have no idea what ignorant means.
I misused ignorant when I said you're ignorant because you think being a christian means, "fuck gays."
Christians support a traditional family, not a homosexual relationship. Christians are supposed to love everyone equally and pray for the lost. A different view and supporting that view, than that of a homosexual, doesn't mean, "fuck gays." It means christians believe what they believe and homosexuals believe what they believe. If a homosexual attends a gay pride march, it's no different than a christian donating to a christian organization that doesn't support gay marriages.
If you can't get a grasp on that, then it would be a waste of time to try to further explain it.
LOL. Those pre emptive strikes at myself were a mockery of you, silly. Didn't catch that, or does the narcissism not compute those things?
Bri is a prime example of lack of respect and low morals. Thanks for further proving everything I said.
