This is incredible. More of this!

Stop being so mean!

You took at as a criticism of how you and others feel about this, and it was too detached and broad to ever be about that. I apologize for saying something so easily misread and I'll accept that you seek to ridicule me.

What a martyr.

[Zulithe]

Always wanted to eat at a Chick-Fil-A but never been near one. Now? Well, not so much. I think I can go without.

You took at as a criticism of how you and others feel about this, Or how condifent or strongly you should feel about t, and it was too detached and broad to ever be about that. I apologize for saying something so easily misread and I'll accept that you seek to ridicule me.

I'd like to back up and ask you to please clarify this part of your initial post in this discussion.

And then the next day comes and we're drawing battle lines and defining whether everyone's a good guy or a bad guy.

Who are drawing battle lines, and what are those lines? Who are the good guys and bad guys? There's an equivocation here that if read literally is understandably objectionable. It seems that may have not been your intent. Can you clarify?

[LaserBuddha]

What a martyr.

I foolishly expressed my disillusionment with animosity, in a thread where thirst thing people would think is that I'm coming down on people being staunch about equality. I accept blame for that, I'm not martyring myself at all. Did I overstate when I described what you said as ridicule?

[LaserBuddha]

I just meant that in general, people feel like they always have to fight each other and win when they have different feelings about something. And the first thing people do when they encounter a distasteful opinion is that they use that to define who people are. Does that mean that those who don't care about these "traditional family" donations are unfairly labeled? No. Does it mean that people might achieve their own goals more successfully if they weren't so totally uncompromising in how they deal with people, people who sometimes lean the same way they do but just aren't resolute or passionate enough? Maybe. I assume people discuss things to learn and grow and cause the same in others.

Is it a little late to disclose that marijuana is a factor tonight?

dude. You take chicken, you flower it, eg it, bread it then leave it then put it into a pan for a few minutes. Needing people to cook for you is like asking people to wipe your ass. back to topic: fuck chic fil a

I love everything about this post.

Thread is hilarious btw. So many greys.

I just roast whole chickens anyway. Cheaper and easier.

Yeah, college kids are the only people who cook their own food.

Most of the college kids I knew were not really cooking at all. Meal plans and ramen aren't cooking.

I just got out of a conversation in another thread about Batman movies, so pardon this: it's what we do that defines us. So I think it's natural and understandable to judge based on actions and the values they express. I echo the general sentiment about wanting to all get along, but this is an issue that understandably elicits strong emotions; people's lives are being dramatically impacted. So I think it's also understandable that passions are strong; some things are worth being passionate about, even combative.

I appreciate the explanation. Enjoy the pot.

Nobody is saying don't eat whatever you want, dress in whatever you want, buy whatever you want. People are saying that if feel and want to make a conscious decision to not give your money to a place that is doing something wrong(If you believe they aren't is another topic). Than there are other options.

If you're starving late at night coming from work and are craving Chick fil-fuckin-A. Go ahead and buy it. There is nothing wrong in buying food from them. It is literally impossible to avoid not giving your money to less than noble companies. What people were getting banned and shouted down for was the "lolz gonna get me some chicken now!" and the "Who cares" none-sense in this very thread. If someone were to post a pic about their order from there in any other thread on GAF, nobody would care at all. It's context dependant.

There is no pride or guilt to be had in getting food from them. If it possible though and not incredibly out of your way, avoiding them is just a decent thing to do since they're for holding down the rights of others. Simply laughing about and saying "It's just chicken" misses the point entirely. Because in a way we all support things. And chuckling about getting food when the news is fresh just comes off as insulting and less than respectable to your fellow human beings.

[GRIP]

There are only two CFA in my area that I am aware of. One is the local mall and one is about 40 minutes away. I never go to these places in the first place because I hate the mall and I'm not driving 40 minutes for a sandwich, but this story really wouldn't stop me from eating at this establishment if it was a reasonable option for me.

[Trey]

No. There are two opinions on the matter. Only one is right - the one that doesn't base the right to marry on one's sexual orientation. If I am of the opinion that 2+2=5, am I right? Of course not. Opinions can be wrong. And in this case, if you are of the opinion that gays should not be allowed to marry, you are wrong.

Let's not confuse morally right and factually "right". This is an incorrect analogy.

Uhh...I was just responding to the guy saying that it's easy to cook your own food, and that "Needing people to cook for you is like asking people to wipe your ass." I wasn't talking about chick-fil-a specifically. I plan to boycott them myself, as I've said in this thread before. (Not that that's a big deal for me, since I rarely ate there even before I heard they were run by a bunch of religious fanatics.)

[Dead Man]

What the hell? I have much more time on my hands now that I'm not in school.

We don't all have as refined a palate as you do, your majesty. (Just kidding.)

Yeah, college kids are the only people who cook their own food.

Well, lazy Europeans who work 35 hour weeks and take vacations all the time probably have time to cook their own food too. (Just kidding.)

That's why you pre-make the batter mix.

Batter mix? Pre-make? What are these words? What is this crazy talk?

[Korey]

[alstein]

Then make a thread about it. We have one at least once a month. The mods probably considered everyone else trolling which is why they got banned since this isn't a thread about how awesome their food is.

I think one can like Chik-Fil-A, and one can even do business with them, without being an opponent of civil rights/gay marriage. You can't boycott everything- I am willing to throw boycotts out, but I have bigger issues- I will boycott over consumer and workforce issues.

Personally, I don't like their stance on this issue, but they're consistent, and do things like close on Sunday and (from what I've heard) don't mistreat their workers, so they do practice it both ways- they're willing to take a hit in the pocketbook for what they believe in. Even if I don't agree with that (and I don't), I do have some respect for that.

Personally, I like their stuff, but I have other options I like more, so I go there. I did stop going to a couple of businesses because they supported Amendment Dumb here. (I live in NC)

[Kokonoe]

They responded.

[Korey]

They responded.

Before people start celebrating, all this says is that they won't be publicly talking about gay marriage anymore (such as the interview).

It doesn't say anything about stopping their donations to anti-equality groups.

[macuser1of5]

Hah, my palate is not refined, and lately I just eat simple stuff cuz trying to make a complex meal usually falls flat for a one year old.

And you don't need bread crumbs for at home pan frying. Graham crackers work too :D

[bro1]

Some of us work long hours. We aren't all college kids with nothing but time on our hands.

Wtf? I am a VP for my company, work 70 hours a week, and cook dinner for my family every night.

Chicken, flour, egg, breadcrumb, oil.

[CDX]

They responded.

That was days ago. I assume it was already posted in this thread.

IMO that's a BS response and doesn't even address any of the other money they donate to anti-gay causes that are not outright only about gay marriage. Some of the organizations Chick-Fil-A has given money to are IMO just outright hate groups.

Basically we'll still take your money gay people.

And yet even AFTER that response people are still boycotting, and the Jim Henson Company still felt it was necessary to cut all ties with Chick-Fil-A and give all the money they've received to GLAAD.

[Bitmap Frogs]

Pretty much. This is just the standard soulless, meaningless, canned PR response.

They just will be hush hush about it going forward.

[Mgoblue201]

Unfortunately, the mentality that led to this statement in the first place is the result of deeply ingrained dogma. I remember when my former pastor from my decidedly ex-church once pontificated about how the owner of Chick-Fil-A is "blessed" because he "honors god" by closing on Sundays. This is what these people really believe. It will be interesting, to say the least, to see how the restaurant will be able to keep maintaining its discriminatory tactics in the face of changing social norms.

[Stinkles]

Hot damn at the comments on that Herald article.

The one you quoted HAS to be parody.

[Milchjon]

The one you quoted HAS to be parody.

I would sure hope so, but it seems to be in line with others, and from my experience with the Herald, they pander to a very shitty audience. I go there for Patriots news, and their frontpage is often embarrassing.

I wouldn't.

[Alligatorjandro]

One thing I've noticed about Chik Fil A is that they tend to be in nicer areas than other fast food places.

[Bay Maximus]

Hyperbole much? I'm sure every worker there hates gays and thinks they are all going to burn... Come the fuck on, and quit patting yourself on the back for not eating there.

[Kad5]

Or possibly a hate monger i'm not exactly sure.

[Cyan]

I see this is just one of those threads.

It's like people just read the thread title and think, "Oh! I better let everyone know that I, too, am anti-gay!"

[Kad5]

One thing I've noticed about Chik Fil A is that they tend to be in nicer areas than other fast food places.

Their headquarters is in College Park which is honestly a pretty ghetto area but the HQ itself is in a nicer part of that city I think.

It's south of Atlanta.

[lunch]

There isn't anybody in this thread (at least in the last few pages) bragging about not eating at Chick-Fil-A. The only people bragging are those who find the need to let everybody know that they'll continue to support the restaurant because they think fried chicken is more important than civil rights.

[Utako]

I would bet my hat that half the Chick-Fil-A board isn't only engaging in discreet homosexual interludes on the side, but going all-out with orgies and BDSM. The larger the rift between one's daily life and sexuality, the bigger the turn-on. Most people know this.

This was not the course of wisdom.

On a related note, every "Chick-Fil-A is anti-gay" discussion turns into an incredible advert for the food itself. Be it on GAF or elsewhere.

Now, regardless, I will never be a patron to any organization "founded on biblical principles." I have principles that are founded on actual morality.
