the top priority when deciding where to get it from is based on the owners thoughts on gay marriage.


oh wait...
nevermind...
I get it based on taste, distance and price.

[LWC]

I am the same way, except that now I will make a point to get a Chic-Fil-A sandwich sometime between now and the end of the first week of August.

If so many people were not vowing to oppose his stance, I would let it go, but now it makes me want to get a tasty sandwich, while supporting the company.

What happened to your "like" of the first post RV? You misunderstand the post until you had time to think about it?? I thought you might be finally coming around there for a moment.:biggrin:


j/k ole buddy.

Those on the left love to champion free speech until it is different than their views.........not that there's anything wrong with that

After looking at the post, I can't figure what he means. I have never eaten at a chick fil a, and probably won't ever now, knowing how the guy discriminates against people. If they have a business, that all types of customers spend money at, it's best to keep their personal thoughts out of it.
But, I am agreement with what Zaga said about why he picks a place to eat. If I want chicken, I go for all the reasons he named, but I will not go to a place that splatters all over the place their discriminatory view. Unless the guy expects to make all his money in the bible belt, he should just keep his personal views to himself in his "public" business.

[nky]

He's not discriminating against anyone.

[nky]

Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy told the Baptist Press that the company was "guilty as charged" for backing "the biblical definition of a family." In a later radio interview, he ratcheted up the rhetoric: "I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.

[nky]

Where did he say that a certain segment of the population was not permitted in his restaurants? Did he say he would not serve this group of people? or was he staying his opinion/views on marriage?

His views are all fine and good, as long as he is cool with losing some of his business over his views. If I own a business that caters to all types of people, my religious, or non religious views will stay private.

[LWC]

I don't think he would have made the comment without knowing the demographics of his customer base. If he had a large customer base in areas that would have a problem with it, he probably would not have made the comments.

Then he won't miss the major cities that are already telling him they don't want his Chick-fil-a's there. If he plans on only building in the bible belt, he will be fine.

[LWC]

^Whether smart or not, he should have known that. I applaud his exercise of free speech but I do not know if that is smart for business.

[Panther Thunder]

Someone is against Same-Sex marriage? Oh no.

Is he not entitled to an opinion? Or are liberals the only ones entitled to those?

And to what moron is this a news-flash? Chick-Fil-a is a highly conservative/religiously based company. What did you think the guy's view was?

That is like me being shocked and offended randomly one day that a company owned by Elton John supports Gay Marriage.

[LWC]

To add to my above comment, I applaud him for saying it and I will still support Chic-Fil-A.

Sure he is. As long as he doesn't care that his opinion might affect his wallet. If he's cool with, I have no reason not to be cool with it.

I was simply stating what we pretty much all agree on...
Yay for free speech.
But I don't really care about the owners thoughts on gay marriage.

I also don't care for the uprising against him for opening his mouth...
however, as most would say, he asked for it.

neither is being closed on Sundays yet they do. It's no secret he uses a Christian inspired business operations and this is consistence with his beliefs as an owner of the business

The government does not have the power to ban a particular fast food restaurant for their exercise of the Constitutional freedoms to which all Americans are entitled. The mayor Boston is an idiot. Chick-fil-a has been successful across the country because they provide great chicken with outstanding service.

Are you saying the mayors, and governor's of states can't campaign against, and make it pretty hard to be profitable in their state/cities?

[Harry Rex Vonner]

Emanuel says Chick-fil-A does not possess the values of Chicago. For once, I completely agree with him. Is there any city in the world more crime-ridden and corrupt than Chicago? It has been said that, if Planet Earth needed an enema, it would be inserted at city hall in Chicago.

Chick-fil-A, on the other hand stands for all that is good and right about this country and represents the values upon which this country was settled and built.

More Chick-fil-A and less Chicago would be a fine start toward a real recovery.

I urge everyone to show their support for Chick-fil-A next Wednesday, the day designated by Gov. Huckabee, by going by a Chick-fil-A restaurant and buying something. It is time for those who believe in moral absolutes to quit sitting with their heads in the sand and to take a stance. It is long past time to stand up for what you believe.

Sure corrupt liberal mayors and governors take extra-constitutional actions all the time but they cannot legally ban any legal business from opening shop in "their" towns and states. Look around the country. There is a reason that the areas hardest hit by job shortages have liberal "rulers" lording over them.

[nky]

To our Outraged posters- Someone asked him his opinion on gay marriage(probably are ready knowing what his answer would be). Is he locked into only chicken-related discussion because he runs a chicken place? Agree with his opinion or don't, but let's leave the defenseless (and delicious) chicken out of this! Will anyone please think of the chicken?":biggrin:

From a racist, to a christian that is scared of others peoples' beliefs. How touching. :biggrin: At least be a man Harry.

Hilarious post, RV. The most religiously intolerant person on this forum, accusing somebody from being scared of other peoples' beliefs. How pathetic! I would not call Obama "Buck" because "Buck" is a manly sounding name and Obama is anything but manly in appearance or behavior.

Did I name your name in that post, Hooter boy? Are you the champion for christians now?

No, you were personally attacking another poster - a pretty common activity for you. But there is no rule barring any member from commenting on any post they choose to chime in on. You do it all the time, so by complaining when others do the same, what does that make you? (Another rhetorical question.)

You are amusing, TheRealVille. Certainly no mental giant, but still amusing. I learned in law school that those who continually judge others (sounds like you, doesn't it), are intellectually lacking and insecure (sounds like you again).
