I'll be damned, I didn't know today was Chick-Fil-A appreciation day.

Thats why I asked the OP where he lives.

There were no long lines at the Chick-fil-a down here on the way to my work - I looked both on the way to and the way home.

Chances are that Chick-fil-a lines are longer in the south where this kind of thinking is the norm.

I haven't seen anything that shows there are long lines accept a couple people who responded who both live in the south and then one article out of Atlanta.

There are several areas on the east coast that will never allow a chick-fil-a to even be built because of their stance. Boston's mayor already took such action. Seems like a large area of business that they are missing out on

Apparently, and sadly, the one near me in NJ was crowded. Close to NYC and a relatively liberal area. But it's also the only CFA in the surrounding county or two, I believe, so morons were traveling from afar. I probably would have passed out from anger if I witnessed it

Rahm never said they were banned, he simply agreed with ONE alderman in ONE ward's decision. I don't understand how that vow of support turned into Rahm banning Chick-Fil-A entirely from Chicago. It makes a better story I guess, but that doesn't make it true.

He said Chik Fil A's values are not Chicago values. Bad move. Just about any religious or conservative person in Chicago is offended.

"Any sandwich that combines that great Chick-fil-A flavor with a hefty dose of vitriolic homophobia is definitely going to keep me coming back for more," said Atlanta customer John Oaks. “Come Wednesday, I’m going to be first in line for this thing.”

According to sources, the Queer-Hatin’ Cordon Bleu is merely the first of Chick-fil-A’s new family values menu which is set to include the AIDS Is God’s Curse chicken nugget combo and the Fags Caused 9/11 strawberry fruit smoothie."


Damn I love the Onion...

So let me get this straight: conservatives have been using the reputation of "Obama's city" against him whenever they can (usually with appeals to corruption, "Chicago style politics" and all) like he brought some contagious disease to DC with him.

Now, when it's said that Chick-Fil-A's values "are not Chicago's values," there is offense, and widespread butthurt ensues?


Religious conservatives: get the sand out of your vaginas and grow the fuck up.

The NIV Study Bible notes,6 “Noah’s curse cannot be used to justify the enslavement of blacks, since most of Ham’s descendants are known to be Caucasian, as the Canaanites certainly were (as shown by ancient paintings of the Canaanites discovered in Egypt).” We conclude that Genesis provides no biblical basis, either ethically or prophetically, to justify black slavery.

Furthermore.. read my post above about context.. not just for passages, but for books and the Bible overall.

How DARE you sir. You have no right to interrupt my religion for me! This is my personal belief, not some thing you can stir up with some people who think god wouldn't plant false evidence in the historical record to test us!

You apologists just need to get lost. I follow the bible, not some scientists who think that paintings in egypt can define what really happened. How did they date those paintings? I trust my personal relationship with jesus and not some devil science.

But sense you have all the answers, maybe you can tell me why rape is a crime and not a one way ticket to marriage with a hot chick? Or why my wife seems to think she has a say in what we do and how I spend my money. She's my damn property!

You are a very large part of what is wrong with this country and I wish you would dig a big hole and climb into it.

You have no dog in this fight since it is a Christian viewpoint, so please leave.

The problem is that you're viewing this as a Christian viewpoint, and people that are for gay marriage view it as providing those couples with all the legal rights granted under marriage.

What you and many seem to miss in this whole discussion is that government has no right to deny them permission to locate their restaurants anyplace where it is legally zoned for them...

I'm not sure why you're going onto that rant and specifically saying "you" as in that I'm missing this. I'm not, and I don't support such actions either. My post was made specifically because just about all preceding posts keep talking about freedom of speech. I'm trying to say that the problem that the Pro Gay Marriage crowd has isn't with his opinion but rather the money trail going from Chic-Fil-A corporate to organizations that are actively promoting the Biblical idea of marriage as law in the United States.

That makes all this drivel over freedom of speech a moot point.

There will NEVER be complete equality, that would be physically IMPOSSIBLE.

You're missing the point. They want equality in the eyes of the law not "in the eyes of nature".

A man and a woman together can create a baby.

Two gay men together cannot create a baby. To lesbian women together cannot create a baby.

Are you going to refute the inequality there? Does it piss you off if I recognize there is a difference there? If the mere action of pointing that out pisses you off, that is YOUR problem, and no one else's.

Not sure if serious. I'm guessing you've never heard of sperm/egg donors, artificial insemination, surrogate mothers, etc....

Guess what, gay couples are having kids at this very moment.

Heh, it's pretty funny how backwards conservatives are when it comes to science.

Apparently, and sadly, the one near me in NJ was crowded. Close to NYC and a relatively liberal area. But it's also the only CFA in the surrounding county or two, I believe, so morons were traveling from afar. I probably would have passed out from anger if I witnessed it

You have a strong opinion on the subject. The right to have and express an opinion is a wonderful thing. Don't let another's opinion bother you. The aggravation is not worth it.

I agree 100%. Without that freedom, the ideas that seem obvious now would have been smothered a long time ago. The opposite ideas/beliefs are one thing, but when action is taken against other people I really get frustrated :\ Such a horrible thing

I think I'll have some chic-fill-a today. Honestly, I couldn't care less about the gay thing, it's that spicy deluxe chicken sandwich that's alluring me at the moment.... Mmmmm.

Pretty much... oh you don't want gay marriage? That's great... is it gonna affect the good tasting food? No? Ok carry on.

That blows man, I feel your pain. It was a prideful time to see that the Chick-fil-a by me wasn't packed. They do a good amount of business any way but I don't care about that - was just glad that there weren't any lines or cars in the drive thru a mile long

On that topic, many male+female couples can't conceive either, are they now considered an inequality?

So much so they should not only be barred from getting married, as gays are - they should have to march in the gay pride parade without a choice

That'll teach dem infertile blasphemers

The mistake you made was calling chik-fil-a 'tasty'

Didn't really say i had all the answers, just gave you an alternate interpretation of the 'passage' you brought up. What you believe is your own. Just cause i disagree doesn't mean i am bashing you or your views.

It's also funny how on one hand, you defend homosexuals and speak of bigots, yet.... you seem to have even more vitriol for "Bible Thumpers". We all pick and choose things we follow and believe in it seems like. Not just "Christians"


BTW: i don't necessarily disagree that homos should have rights. I don't even mind if they give the same rights as "married people". But don't call it marriage, cause to me, it's not.
