so I had chick-fil-a this morning

[Elbow]

How is that not the exact same way the Chick Fil A thing works? You don't like that he believes marriage should be between a man and a woman, so in protest you don't buy his chicken. You NEED food to live, but you have the choice to get Burger King, or cook for yourself, or whatever. However, the oil families in Saudi Arabia are moooooost likely muslim, and they believe homosexuality is punishable by death, but you still buy their gas? That is the exact same thing. You don't NEED gas to live but to support your way of getting to work and your car hobby, you have to buy it.

This reminds me of a story my friend told me once. He had this gf at one time, who was (probably still is) big into PETA. He thinks PETA is retarded but went because it was a free trip to Vegas in a nice hotel and lots of free drinks. He goes to one of the PETA rallies out on the street and they're looking at a video screen of a montage of PETA activists throwing red paint and stuff on little old ladies wearing their new fur coats or furs around their necks, etc. Everyone is cheering the video on because they're picking on little old ladies who can't really do anything about it. My friend, who was drunk off his ass, speaks up and says hey, you guys applaud these people throwing paint on these lady's coats? They say yes, to which he replies how come there are no pictures or video of you guys throwing paint on the bikers who wear leather? There was a deafening silence for a few moments. Simply put, the bikers would have beaten these limp wristed PETA pantywastes to a bloody pulp and they know that...so they just pick and choose their battles.

So it's easy for you to boycott Chick Fil A because you think he's some anti fag hate monger, yet you have no problem going to buy gas from documented fag hating fag murderers?

News flash: YOU NEED GAS.

Don't buy gas, don't go to work.
Don't buy gas, don't get food.
Don't buy gas, don't go to the doctor.
Don't buy gas, don't bring your kid to school.

But wait, Simon, you twit, they can ride the bus, carpool, or something else.

Hey, moron, EVERYTHING goes back to putting at least something in their pocket.

I personally think it's stupid people won't eat Chicken-fil-a because of the owners comment, if he banned gays, or said he didn't welcome homosexuals, than people should be mad. Personally I've never been a fan so it doesn't matter to me, the only reason I'd be hesitant to go is I don't know what day it is there now. Is it I'm Gay Day, I Hate Homos Day, or what?

To the rest of the thread though:

I support gay marriage and I believe in God. Anyone that doesn't support gay marriage has no real argument, it messes up tradition, it's dirty, blah blah blah. Anyone that brings in religion should remember that God is supposedly a forgiving and understanding man, times have changed, it's not like people decide to just go out and be gay because they have weird sexual desires, well some may, but the ones that we're speaking of don't fall in that group.

IT WILL NOT HURT ANYONE AT ALL IF JOE AND TONY GET MARRIED.

Get a job in the city, live downtown, walk to work. Or - Create your own bio-fuel.
Get an electric car, get a bicycle, etc. If you really wanted to stay away from foreign oil, you could.

It's more convienent to use regular gas though.

Maybe if you REALLY wanted to.

It would be stupid though.

It's not the same for a myriad of reasons. One being we dont buy the majority of our oil from Saudi Arabia, nor does our refined gasoline come from the middle east. However, To completely rid yourself of petroleum to get rid of any trace of, you have to get rid of your car, stop buying plastics, stop using your debit and credit cards, stop wearing polyester clothes (you Christians should be doing it anyway, it's a sin, just like being gay is), stop buying shoes...etc. etc.

LOL

Buy US made. You can make do if it is really that important to you (it's not to me).

Maybe if you REALLY wanted to.

Point is, it is possible. Yes, I agree that it is not for most, including you and me.

Buy only US made products containing plastic produced by refined petroleum from the US? LOL. No. This isnt how crude oil works. You dont just go down to the store and buy it and refine it. Could you live without petroleum based products in your life? Maybe, but you'd lead a sad, miserable existence. No clothes, no blinds on your windows, and no heat in your home. No way to get to and from work except walking barefoot in the grass

I never said that it would be easy..... and it wouldn't be for me.

I'm not the one calling for boycotts of CFA either though....
