Suits. Kale is delicious!
Damn good chicken.
And hot!
I like to think Agent Cooper would stand in solidarity with an oppressed minority. I know Albert would.
And so he should. His position is much the same as someone in the past supporting racial segregation; pure bigotry, deserving only condemnation.
“Family values” has been a code phrase for supporting bigotry and tyranny for a long time. And his “principles” are hatred, and basing what passes for his morality on a book of myths written by barbarians. He might as well announce he’s basing his positions on Mein Kampf as announcing he’s basing it on the Bible.
Of course it’s open to debate. The law doesn’t forbid people from disagreeing with him.
And Abraham.
I’m not gay (NTTAWWT), but if I had known about those two companies obstructing abortion rights, I would have boycotted them for that, as well. Social justice is social justice.
Was your comment supposed to be some sort of Gotcha Ya?
What a moron. They want to triple the number of stores they have, and he goes a d says something like that? That’s some powerful stupid.
I call bullshit on “the biblical definition of the family unit.” Show me in the Bible where it says “The family unit shall be defined as…”
“and we are married to our first wives” — well, I’ll give you credit for that at least. You’d get bonus hypocrisy points if you were campaigning against gay marriage on biblical grounds while being divorced and remarried.
Dude, that was a bromance.
I do have a Chick-Fil-A in my area (two, actually), and haven’t eaten there for years. Besides making another public stink, I’m not sure what this article changes.
Does C-F-A have any gay employees?
In my area, nearly all of the fast food workers are black. But at Chick Fil a, they are nearly all white, Stepford looking kids. Makes you wonder. And no matter what you say to these kids when ordering, they always reply “my pleasure.” It’s creepy. I want my fast food served to me by a sullen, stoned little punk.
… :eek:
You know what, that’s exactly the way it is in my area, as well.
Burger King, Wendy’s, Popeye’s… all mostly black employees.
Chick-fil-a… I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a black employee in either of the two stores around here.
Yep. I’ve heard it’s like this at most of their restaurants.
You’re absolutely right. Women who demanded the vote were brutalized. Black people who demanded equal rights were murdered. Gay activists showing pride were beaten.
ZOMG, you’re right again! People who call for continued oppression against gay people are boycotted! It’s EXACTLY THE SAME!!!1!one!!!
Ya know, that sure looks like you’re right, and I’m wrong. However, all it really says is that a religious minded business made charitable donations to a group that held similar viewpoints. It doesn’t say that they specifically aimed to help a lobbying agenda, just that their charitable donation went to a group that may or may not have attempted to initiate some sort of societal change.
If they in fact gave them money, for the express purpose of funding a religious lobbying agenda, well ok then. That’s their prerogative, and it would make my statement wrong. It still doesn’t change the main thrust of my post. Society’s opinion of people with non-traditional views has changed wildly in recent years.
I’m not saying it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but if we’re gonna come out and be against someone for holding to their principles, no matter what they are, I think that’s wrong. (Obvious caveat for people infringing on the legally established rights of others)
So…I’ll still eat at Chik-fil-a. The foods good, the restaraunt is clean, and the employees are nice.
If only more could be like that.
Try Baltimore. Surprised me too, but there mainly black at the store I went to. Same nice pleasant attitude though. Very “white” if I may be so stereotypical and quasi-racist. It made me wonder what kind of screening process they use for their employees.
I’m curious as to how some people made the leap of “being against gay marriage” equating too murder, tyranny and all that other stuff.
He was asked a question, he answered the question, and he’s against it and there we go.
He didn’t shoot some gay kids in the street, he’s not asking them all to perform sepkku, he’s not actively chasing and hitting him with his car.
You know there ARE people out there who are against something that doesn’t automatically make them the worst. person. ever. on par with murderers
edit: We have a chik-fil-a in one of the dining halls at my campus and they have a very diverse staff of whites, blacks, asians and the like. Could be more of a college thing than anything else but worth mentioning
“Quasi”?
Edit: in an interesting full-circle, the blog “Yo, Is This Racist?” just addressed this situation.
You almost seem smart enough to understand the true nature of my point; your overly scarcastic reply isn’t helping to reinforce that though.
Let’s not create straw men here. I’m talking about the attitude of the average joe, not the guy who’s got the means and motivation to light a cross of fire or murder someone.
