Chick-Fil-a to stop supporting anti-gay organizations.

Post Reply New Topic

Just about every Jewish male in Judea over the age of 18 had a beard. Jews generally did not go about long-haired. They polled their hairline (basically the put a bowl over their heads and cut the hairs long enough to stick out)

Long-hair fruity looking Jesus images were the product of Renaissance artists.

Actually, I've heard that about the Renaissance artists.
Beards were actually pretty common among most cultures at the time. It was just the Romans who figured it was the facial hair of Barbarians - even though the Greeks (who they secretly had an inferior inferiority complex for, despite being their conquerors) often wore beards.

Kraichgauer, I know that comment about them losing a bunch of money is a load of bull, and so do you.

You want to know how I know, it's really quite simple. If your stupid left wing boycott had worked, there wouldn't have been so many people going to Chik'fil'a in some places that traffic was backed up all over the place, and a nearby Car Dealership actually let Chik'fil'a customers park in his parking lot, as did numerous other businesses near Chik'fil'a.

They had so many customers that they actually were running out of food and couldn't offer some items on their menu cause they were out of stock, because they had so much business.

How about you and the other lefties here stop with the blatent B.S., to be completely blunt their standing up to lefties like you didn't hurt them in the slightest...

Also, to be blunt I highly doubt Chik'fil'a will stop donating to pro-traditional family groups.

During the week where your (and other lefties) boycott was made a mockery of, there were bomb threats, vandalism, etc. Not to mention the shooting in Washington DC by a pro-gay activist.

I look forward to when they donate to ACTUAL traditional family advocates- one male with numerous females all making him sandwiches



Your hatred of left handed people really has to stop hombre.

Vigilans, "traditional family" means 1 man + 1 woman, it doesn't mean polygamy.



MARTINSBURG - Police and fire crews closed down the Chick-fil-A on Foxcroft Avenue in Martinsburg for nearly three hours following a bomb threat that was called in just before 1 p.m. today.

Vigilans, all I'm doing is stating the facts, I really don't care if you find the truth to be offensive.

Ew, who in the heck said anything about polygamy, mister?



What have left handed people ever done to you!

.................



Word of advise, next time you try to deny something, make sure it wasn't from a post on the same page, particularly when it was your own post and just got quoted...



What does left-hand/right-hand have to do with this?

Homosexuality as a natural means of regulating a population is not in line with evolution or natural selection. Only humans in a couple spots in the world and only in the last 60 years or so have needed to drastically reduce the number of children they have. For most of human history, it took about an average of 8 kids to maintain the population since some of them would die and some mothers would die in labor and other causes before they had many children. The same applies to animals. Food supply, weather/climate, predation, disease, and natural disasters were more than sufficient to regulate populations. Any creature that had a natural evolutionary trait under those conditions, including humans, to reduce their population, would be destined to go the way of the panda and desert tortoise. Any evolutionary development, whether genetic or any other theory) that reduced or stopped a creature from procreation would be first in line for natural selection! Have you considered that there are scientists that have their conclusions printed out before they do their research? Like Wakefield or climategate? Did they carefully conduct peer reviews and a double blind study? I ask because studies on this subject are easily influenced by people with agendas.

The rules against homosexuality were not created by monks! It's in the Bible, particularly in Romans and 1 Corinthians, and maybe Ephesians and Galatians, but I'll have to double check on those. In Corinthians, he specifically told the leaders to purge people actively practicing immoral behaviors (with homosexuality implied as one of them) from the Church, and encouraged those who left a gay lifestyle to grow in their new faith. If this issue was going to come up anywhere the church spread in the Roman empire, it would be Corinth (which had a reputation as a crazy place) first and then Rome. Paul did not go to either of those cities with a sign saying "God hates fags", but he did work to keep certain influences out of the churches.

Jesus' views are socially conservative in that they center around family, helping your neighbors, charity, but that notion of socially conservative living is often lost in the US, particularly in the most individualistic subcultures (i.e. major cities), and especially when people practicing such a lifestyle are spread too thin in a society to make their effect known. In places with a high rate of substance abuse, that form of social conservatism isn't likely to happen regardless of demographics. In communities where people tend to stay sober and do their best to be productive, that form of conservative social safety net can thrive except under communism. Many have claimed that Jesus would endorse a welfare state. That is debatable since He would have a HUGE problem with the waste and corruption in those systems. I don't think Jesus would be happy with promoting such a organizational structure in His name!

Chick-fil-a had had those long lines when Huckster..., er, I mean Huckeby on Fox organized Chick-fil-a appreciation day or whatever he called it, when Republicans and homophobic groups posing as family values groups went out of their way to buy chicken. But is there any evidence this trend continued after that one day? So yes, especially in blue states and cities, they almost certainly lost money. I repeat, their god is the almighty dollar.

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer

Actually there is evidence the trend continued, appreciation day, it was more like appreciation week, and it even went on for quite a while after that. People were even buying gift cards.

Meanwhile we there were the bomb threats, the vandalism, the shootings, not to mention from what I understand, the politicians involved in this current situation are from Chicago. If you understand anything about Chicago, you'd know there is probably outright intimidation being involved if not threats of violence.

Chick-fil-a wouldn't have been the only business that has had to deal with nutbars from time to time, so I doubt that would have been the motivating factor in changing their policy against gay Americans. And seriously? You have to make the city government of Chicago out to be a bunch of gangsters? As I recall, Fox and other Republican party propaganda outlets openly sided with Mayor Rahm Emanuel against the legitimate claims of the teachers union. Being a bit inconsistent there, aren't you Repubs?

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer

Chicago is well known to be run like a mafia racket, whether or not there are still people with mob ties there. I've never heard anyone, even liberals, seriously defend Chicago politics before.

Politicians in Chicago have a reputation for playing fast and loose, but I hardly think they had issued a physical threat against the chicken boss.

I was quite clearly talking about sandwich making you silly boy



You tell me

Do they have to be chicken sandwiches?

Actually they have a reputation for being tied to organized crime for a reason.

Anyways, from what I read in this morning's paper, it seems that the media story you guys are running with has a credibility question, which is unsurprising.
