Do some of you guys really value a sandwich more than withholding support from someone who wants to deprive people of equal rights?
Yes, oh baby yes.
edit: Didn't see how many pages there were, I'm retarded.

When have I been inconsistent? I still support chickfila and oil companies (see consistent). I was just pointing out everybodies hypocrisy. Never have I stated I refuse to eat chickfila or stop buying oil. But the people who do support gay rights should do these things so they can be consistent with their beliefs.
Are we talking about solutions or spite here?
Question to those boycotting CFA: do you think the employees should quit their jobs, since their employment helps maintain an establishment that donates to anti-gay marriage organizations?
No. Honestly, I don't want Chick-Fil-A to close (and don't think they will), I just want them to rethink their policies, and making a stance and sticking by it is the only thing I can really do. The people employed by Cathy aren't an issue, it's Cathy himself.Question to those boycotting CFA: do you think the employees should quit their jobs, since their employment helps maintain an establishment that donates to anti-gay marriage organizations?

Question for you. Do you STILL see no evidence that marriage is considered a right in our society? I noticed you didn't respond to people who pointed out you were wrong and I really think it's rather annoying you expect us to answer questions without that basic courtesy.
OK, so marriage is a right. I didn't know that.

I'm sorry but this is a horrible stance to take. What alternative do we have to using gas at some point in our daily routines? People are boycotting CFA because there are millions of food choices.
Heating
Plastic Shopping Bags
Public Transit (uses gas)
Use any public road (asphalt)
Candles
Canned food
Jarred food
Anything powered by propane
Anything delivered by train or semi (basically everything in the United States)
versus CFA:
Don't eat at Chic Fil A

You should read some of those pages. Maybe the first one or two. Note the bans and the similarity their posts have to your own.
If you do one and not the other you are a hypocrite!

Why don't you point out hypocrisy in every thread? Why are you so inconsistent?

That is a good question, which I have no answer for.
Maybe I did go a little overboard, let the protest continue. I can see how my argument was flawed, but maybe one day we can get off oil.
You said yourself that you don't call out folks in other threads over boycotts? Funny how you can pick your battles but we can't pick ours.
Furthermore, the only true way to attain the level of consistency you push for is to do absolutely nothing. Is this what you earnestly suggest?
Fun fact: bjork has never eaten at a chick-fil-a despite driving by one a few times.

I view gay marriage as a right and I think all couples should have equality under the law. However, I think the boycott isn't going to help change Chick-Fil-A's mind. Wouldn't a better route be to set a day that everyone who believes in marriage equality go to a Chick-Fil-A and fill out a comment card or something like that. Show them that they are hurting their very own customers. Let them see that their customers are being hurt.
This is the first boycott thread I have ever really went into as I like chickfila, I tend to stay out of them because if one were to disagree they usually get made fun of, or made to look like an idiot by everybody. In other words god forbid somebody disagrees with the groups circle jerk mindset. I learned that the hard way in religious threads which I will not touch with a 50ft pole anymore.
user bjork or popular Icelandic singer bjork?
or both?

What if you don't have anybody to kiss?There's a kiss-in planned for this coming Wednesday. One of those Facebook things.

So what, people shouldn't be expected to back up their opinions? I've had to post quite a few links backing up my assertions and such, and the beginning of this thread saw quite a few people openly taunting and mocking the boycotters. So cut with the bitterness.This is the first boycott thread I have ever really went into as I like chickfila, I tend to stay out of them because if one were to disagree they usually get made fun of, or made to look like an idiot by everybody.

What's wrong with canned and jarred food?

See, this is where Government comes in. The average citizen doesn't have the weight or muscle to boss companies around, but average citizens are supposed to have an organization that works for them, answers to them, and goes after people they can't on their own.

While I may be wrong, it seems like njean777 and others like him/her are not really advocating the "Boycott everything or nothing" argument.
Instead, it seems like people in this thread are making those that do not want to boycott Chick-Fil-A feel guilty, and therefore making them rationalize their decision.
Pretty much a by the book example of cognitive dissonance.
Again, I could be wrong.

I don't think anybody in here needs other random forum posters to agree with them to rationalize their decision, but I do think there's some unfair vitriol going around. I don't think that was njean777's initial point, but it sort of morphed into that as s/he kept posting.While I may be wrong, it seems like njean777 and others like him/her are not really advocating the "Boycott everything or nothing" argument.

All you really had to do was think about it a little. Why are people boycotting Chick-Fil-A but not oil? Well gee, maybe it's enormously easier to boycott a fast food restaurant and therefore the marginal return on utility is much much higher?
CNN said:Atlanta (CNN) -- Don Perry, the vice president of public relations for Chick-fil-A, has died, according to a statement from the University of Georgia, where he served on the board of the journalism school.
Perry, originally from Valdosta, Georgia, started at the fast-food chain in 1983, helping launch the public relations arm of the company, he told Georgia Magazine in an alumni profile published last month.
The Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A had annual sales of more than $4.1 billion last year and has more than 1,615 locations in 39 states and Washington, D.C., with the strongest concentration in the Southeast.
It has recently come under fire by gay rights supporters for comments made by the company President Dan Cathy, who said the company backs the traditional family unit.

Your argument was terrible and has been taken down, multiple times, in this very thread.

Think, then post.
Why don't people boycott McDonalds, which cuts down rainforests to make grazing land? That would be very easy to do.
Just saw this on CNN and didn't see it here. I assume it was natural but when I read the headline I thought someone had just taken everything too far.
