Chik Fil A Day
- Thread starter Stoked
- Start date
I think that would depend from person to person. I am for gay marriage and disagree with Chik Fil As tance but if I lived near one I would have gone.
Don't care if a bunch of people want to support them, think those who want to ban gay marriage are bigots, think government should be out of the marriage business in general, think the CEO of Chick Fil A is a jackwagon, think Chick Fil A makes the best damn chicken sandwich ever, think the mayor of Boston is a jackwagon but a more dangerous one if he lets speech influence who he gives permits to, and had no desire to go to Chick Fil A yesterday but may go this weekend.
That's about it.
Aside from that I am hitting what your hitting.
Good post, even though there's a bit I vehemently disagree with.
Ok, maybe bigot is too harsh a term.
But I'm not sure what to call it when someone else wants to deny civil rights to another group of people based on their sexual orientation. And the legal aspect is the only aspect I'm referring to when it comes to marriage. I don't care what religious institutions do when it comes to marrying people.

I think bigot is the closest word.
It wasn't the word bigot. It's a lack of understanding when standing for something that is a spiritual principal. The reason there are two sides to teh argument is that both sides have firm beliefs on each side.
I was only saying that I don't believe it's bigotry if you have a strong premise in which you believe and that which you stand on. I don't lack empathy, but am convicted of my beliefs.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think of bigots as those who choose not to concern themselves with the feelings of others that don't agree with them.

This image explains what it's about.
This is a great article about the "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day": https://matthewpaulturner.net/blog/5-reasons-why-the-church-failed-yesterday/

I won't say anything about the subject. The only thing I can say, this is a hell of an advertising for the place, intentional or not. I had no idea what this thread about and what the hell is chik fil a but now I know them and there is this idea in my subconscious about them being very good at what they do.
I'm very hungry right now, though.

Wow that guy is a total **** head. I understand his points about the corporation but how he attacked that employee about working there is ridiculous.
Its not about what you believe sometimes, sometimes its about getting a pay-check and being able to survive.
I agree with everything you just said. Therefore I rep'd your post. I really wonder how much traction any kiss-ins will get tomorrow.

Dude is a CFO at one of the most respectable companies here in Tucson. Got pink-slipped today.

I think he deserved to get fired. He seems like a smart guy so I'm sure he'll land on his feet.
EDIT: It would be hilarious if Chick-Fil-A publicly offered him a job.

Actually, with the bad economic times I have noticed a huge upgrade in the quality of service from almost all of the fast food industry. There must be some sort of book being passed around to managers as well because everybody in the store greets you as you walk in and wandering employees often offer to refill your drink. Perhaps it is "Who Moved my Cheeseburger."

Oh really? Did you speak to every single person that showed up in support? Give me a ****ing break.
That guy is a Grade A douchebag, that much is clear. But I highly doubt people are showing up to support Chick-Fil-A because a couple of people are acting like ****heads on the internet.
I think he meant people acting like ****heads in general. Some of the more outspoken gay-rights activists do come off as arrogant which contributes to people supporting Chick-Fil-A who might not otherwise.

Two things. First, people got to start thinking that Mr. Cathy may have calculated this thing perfectly and his statements were more than partially revenue-based driven, right? And second, I equate this "kiss-in" that's supposed to occur at Chick-Fil-A's tomorrow to a bunch of adolescent boys going to a girl scout meeting and jerking off and making fart noises with their armpits because boys aren't allowed to be girl scouts.
