Gays boycott Chick-fil-a, Miracle rebound for economy

[The Sushi Hunter]

KFC breeds their own mutant chickens. No beak or eyes, just all meat. That said, I think it tastes better than Chick-fil-A. Hell, I think the chicken at the Ralph's (Krogers) supermarket tastes better than Chick -fil-A. Way over rated in my opinion.

Cool. Can they make'em with bigger breasts, more legs and no wings? Now that would be the bomb!

[The Sushi Hunter]

Another mistake will be made on Friday with the so-called kiss in thing at these restaurants. You can't be there unless you are buying something and if I were a patron I don't want to see couples of any nature making out in public. If my kid wants Chick-Fil-A and some asshole wants to further their orientation agenda in front of me in the drive thru my foot will be heavy on the accelerator.

There are better ways to further this cause.

This might get interesting, especially if these kissing homos start to cause trouble like that moron going through the drive thru the other day.

I'll freely say it...I'm against gay marriage. Not the IDEA of them being together, but the religious institution of it. Look...do whatever the hell you want, and WHOMEVER you want...I don't care. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Simple as that.
Civil unions I agree with. But why the fuck do you have to be "MARRIED". Be Gayried....CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE, For Christ's sake.

Exactly. but thats not good enough, they want the tax deductions, health care benefits, social exceptance that comes
with traditional marriage, as if there was no difference, well like it or not there is.

They also want the fiancé visa benefit too. I personally had a friend of mine who was in his late 60's and was gay. He was part of a club, it was actually his club and he had a bunch of members who were also gay men. This was back when I was in my mid-20's. So with him being my friend, he would discuss with me this very topic. He and his bunch of members were pushing the gay marriage thing back then because they wanted to "import" desperate guys from third world countries. His club was exclusively interested in guys who were barily legal, meaning just turned 18 and up to only about their late 20s. In some cases, he had a member who was in fact able to get over one such desperado from Mexico. However the guy from Mexico was only "playing the part" to get over here. Once over here, he left his same sex sugar daddy high and dry and went on to getting many of his family members over here. The friend of mine was a retired journalist who worked for various news agencies. He also disclosed to me that he once had a young man from Brazil over here with him, but after the guy reached a certain age, he was no longer attractive to him so my friend paid to have the guys teeth fixed and then sent him on his way and then went on the troll for a new fresh body. Fair exchange I guess.

However, the byproduct of such an event is a flood of uneducated men coming into this country for the sole purpose of sexual intentions with men. as indicated from the discussions mentioned above, these guys imported under the fiancé visa clause will eventually become a burden to the state and government, once they get too old and the sugar daddy gives them the heave hoe or he takes off and imports other family members in the US, not to mention any deases he brings in or contracts while temporarily living the gay lifestyle.

Screw you intolerant fucks, I'm heading out for lunch over at El Pollo Loco (just hope the beaners haven't emptied the salsa bar already).

[RyanHippFTW]

But it isn't a freedom of speech issue. Unless this is a protest of the Boston thing and not a protest of the protest. Fucking whatever. People do whatever you want, as long as nobody shoots me for being a queer-mo I don't care.

Actually, it IS a freedom of speech issue. Mr. Cathey voiced his PERSONAL opinion, not his company's (two separate entities).

The company Chick-fil-a has donated millions of dollars to strongly anti-gay groups.

I don't care if you're gay. What I DO care about is the fact that my beliefs ARE different from others, and THOSE aren't being tolerated but the very same people who are screaming for tolerance.

Nice little double edge sword, huh?

The problem is when your beliefs prevent other people from being treated fairly.
There was a time when people didn't believe women should be in the workforce or have the right to vote. There was a time when people didn't believe that blacks should be allowed to drink from the same water fountains as whites. People can STILL believe those things if they want, and they can walk around being miserable about the fact that they had a black person sitting next to them in the front of the bus if they want, but when they actually try acting on those beliefs, and infringing on others' rights, it's a problem. Assuming the other person isn't hurting you or somebody else, I don't really see why that person shouldn't be able to live how they want. If a gay couple wants to get married, fine, more power to 'em. As long as there's no law saying that I have to marry another man, why should I care?
And I know somebody is going bring up the tired argument about why a man can't marry a sheep in that case. You know, personally, I don't really care if he does, but a sheep isn't a consenting adult, and also since marriage is basically a financial agreement, it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to give financial responsibility to livestock.

They are being treated fairly. They want to get married? They can. All they have to do is like the rest of us, meet the criteria, part of which is marriage between a biological male and biological female. That isn't so hard to understand.

[hoagiepete]

Why do most hetero males get aroused by an attractive female (or by most any female that is willing to bang him)?
Why do most hetero males get nauseous seeing two dudes showing affection for one another?
Why do most hetero females get turned off seeing two dudes showing affection for one another, but most hetero males get turned on by seeing a couple babes going at it?

Do hetero females get turned on by seeing a couple babes going at it? Do gays get turned on by watching straight porn?

Why are gays attracted to the same sex?

Why are so many gay guys more feminine than girls these days?

So many questions and so few answers.

I can't help feeling the way I do. Gays can't help their attractions. The Chick Filet dude can't help he wants to puke thinking about a couple dudes going at and calling themselves "married."

If you start calling him names and calling for him to lose his business because of his beliefs, who is the bigot? Has anyone been refused service or employment because they are gay? That would be a different story altogether, but I haven't heard of that being the case.

People need to chill.

What a douche, the girl on the other hand was total class.

[The Sushi Hunter]

This is the type of shit bird who will either gather personal information about the people who do not support gay marriage and post it in the local papers and on the internet and/or the type that will utilize such information to harass, intimidate and threaten the people who do not support gay marriage.

He's the type of clown who has helped convince me not to accept gay marriage and not to accept the gay lifestyle altogether. He has no one to thank but himself.

Oh my sides are splitting from laughter....

Alleged UofAZ prof and medical supplier CFO Bullies Chik-fil-a clerk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg-jzlWcc0E

So this jerk claims to be an Adjunct Professor at UofAz and he is also a CFO for a Tuscon Company named Vante which makes catheters. So he goes to CFA and films himself being an ass, then he puts it on youtube and it goes viral.

Then.......

TUCSON, AZ, Aug 02, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- The following is a statement from Vante:

Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.

The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.

We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith's actions against Vante and its employees.

[Journey/Survivor]

Why are so many gay guys more feminine than girls these days?

Yeah, Ive wondered that one myself?
Why do so many gay men act so ridiculously over-the-top "feminine?" Most women don't act that feminine.

[Monker]

I'll never eat at Chick-fil-a again. Not because of their donations but because to give that company money is to give it to a political cause - which is something I simply do not do.

You may want to consider not eating out at fast food establishments/restaurants and buying certain brands/products, etc. Chick-fil-a is by no means the only corporation that "gives to a political cause."

That is not what I said. I said the CEO turned the company into a political tool. the very fact that this thread exists and its contents are proof of that.

[Don]

What a douche, the girl on the other hand was total class.

Yes she was. God the world is full of idiots. Wonder if the UofAz will keep him on board?

Unfortunately, if Arizona is anything like California, they'll let him go with a million dollar severance check and 500k a year pension.

See that is where I, and I think many others, disagree. Marriage to me is not just "basically a financial agreement". It is a vow and a commitment that a man and woman give before God first and foremost. This is why I feel from the beginning there should have been two different things, both with all the same financial benefits that the state should deem. The state should have never started doing marriage ceremonys down at "city hall", they should have done civil union ceremonys. Leave "marriage" to be done by the churches, temples, mosques, etc.

[The Sushi Hunter]

Why are so many gay guys more feminine than girls these days?

Why do so many gay men act so ridiculously over-the-top "feminine?" Most women don't act that feminine.

I thinik this is because many women these days want a guy who's more caring, sincere, etc. now. Like back when I was living in Japan 20 years ago. Back then Japanese men were hard core to chicks. The chicks would rather date American guys because we treated them nicer and in turn the Japanese guys had to get with the program and clean up their behavior so that they could get the Japanese chicks too. Deep down inside the Japanese guys feel the American guys spoiled thier women to where they now have to either be caring and all that to get that ass or be hard core and go without a nice girl.

So the anwer is guys in general are nicer these days now because they want to make the chicks happy. Sure there are some chicks out there who still want it rough, but those are starting to become far and few in between. Many of them now want a guy to cook, clean, do the bubble bath thing with them and then wash it all down with some good quality pillow talk in bed. I do that since I want my chickee to be happy.

Second part of this is, my mother used to have many gay male friends. She loved hanging out with them because first off, they are guys and she felt a bit safe being out with them since they are guys. And lastly, she liked hanging out with them because she never had to worry about one trying to take advantage of her sexually. She liked their sense of humor and she valued the friendship that she had with them. At least that’s what she’s told me about why she used to hang out with them.

About why they act so feminine, mix high levels of testosterone with homosexuality and there you go.

I've never heard of Chick-Fil-A treating any of their customers unfairly due to being homosexual. Let me know when they turn some gays away and then we can talk.

Except for the FACT that the above is a religious view...and in a LEGAL definition, the Constitution affords EVERYBODY equal protection under the law and can NOT deny marriage between any two people, regardless of what sex the partners are.

In legal terms, marriage is a contract.

Not everybody believes in God and desires a wedding in a church. That is why a justice can perform legally marry a couple. They should be forced to do it in a church.

Not everybody who does believe in God believes in a Christian God. So, any religion can marry any couple they want to?

There is this other side of marriage called divorce...I assume you are saying that if a couple wants a divorce they also have to go to a religious figure to do that.

There are two things here that are separate. A marriage is a LEGAL bond between two people, which the state sponsors. A *WEDDING* is the ceremony performed in a church, or wherever...A marriage does not require a wedding, or a pastor, or a witch doctor...all it reacquires is recognition from the state. And, for the state to recognize a marriage, it MUST follow the Constitution...which requires equal protection for ALL citizens...so it MUST recognize marriage between any couple.

Oh my God this is great...

This whole thing is getting ridiculous on both sides. The gays need to STFU and do what I do when it comes to extremely leftist musicians--either ignore his comments and continue to eat there if they like it or don't if they don't like it. And the Chick Fil A guy should have kept his mouth shut.

When I see an idiot like this, yeah, it's funny on one hand--especially since the clown got fired from what was presumably a pretty good job. But on the other hand, in the wake of James Holmes (who will probably sympathize with gays' gaping asshole plight if he ever gets a cellmate) I'd sure hate to see some innocent teenager or minimum wage worker get hurt by some nut like this who takes it a step further than verbal harassment, intimidating, and bullying. The way that guy was talking, I would have feared he was about to whip out a gun or try something else physical. He sounds very hyper and agitated, and you just don't know what people are capable of anymore. He wasn't even making sense imputing the CEO's views to this minimum wage drive through employee. I'm willing to bet that girl was pretty shaken up by the whole thing.

And btw, he's definitely gay. Forget what he says on the video. Nothing to be ashamed of man--just don't project your self-loathing onto others, especially not minimum wage drive-through workers.
