Re: Suing me: Get in line,Brother!!

In that case, I'll settle out of court for a Chick-Fil-A chicken sammich...

The people who have their panties in a wad are speaking about something that has positively no effect on their own lives what so ever. What this corporate head said is nothing to me...I really dont give a **** what he thinks...either way. It affects my life in no way and it surely would not cause me to go buy a chicken sandwich. However I do commend him for the perfecting marketing effort. He pitted the homosexual crowd against the Bible thumpers and guess what? He is the only person, other than the shareholders, who will see any benefit from this action.
I guess it does give the closet bigot crowd reason to stand up, albeit on the internet, and cheer, and many of them the chance to do a drive by and grab a quick meal. I wonder how many of these same people have gay friends, gay family mambers, or even gay members of their churchs.
I guess the term 'live and let live' doesn't apply to us God fearing, morale majority, sympathetic, and ever so loving Christians. We want to be seen as the most loving bunch of folks on earth yet it is times like this when we see the real light. Pretty sad. But hey, enjoy the meal. I am sure the CEO's yearly bonus just doubled to about $50 million dollars.

I think if you educated yourself on what happened you might form a different opinion. A major outcry from people means this is more than a few bible thumpers(your words) out there. It's a free speech topic and now we have gubment leeches involved. This impacts many people and their way of life and it's just another attack on your rights. What in the world makes the gubment think they can ask what your belief is on gay marriage before they issue you a building permit??? Not sure where "live and let live" was part of the Christian teachings??? I also know that being a Christian doesn't mean you can't have an opinion nor does it dictate where I can buy my food.

I have gay friends so what??? My opinion isn't swayed but who my friends are. I have Liberal friends as well so what?? What's your point? Hey if you choose to think it's no big deal so be it. And thank you, I will enjoy my chicky sammich for years to come because it's the best one out there and will taste even better knowing that a group of thugs tried to stop me from enjoying it.

when that guy spoke how he saw it, that was some of the greatest FREE advertisement, he could ever ask for.

Looks like the ACLU has gone on record as supporting Chic Fil A on this. Hahah I cannot stand what the ACLU does 99.9% of the time but they got this right.
The few political idiots who supported discrimination against a business from an opinion are now having to eat crow. Think about that again elected officials were going to discriminate against a business not for actions but for an opinion. How messed up are these people??? How out of touch are the people who supported these gay rights folks?? I'm sorry but this is another example of political correctness gone amuck.

If I state here and now that I'm against gay marriages.......

1. Will my name hit the newspaper.
2. Will some government puke tell me I can't buy a double wide mobile home?
3. Will my income increase three fold over the next couple weeks?

If so:
1. Spell the name right, Two "m"s and an "e"
2. Good, I ony wanted a single wide
3. Please take taxes out upfront.

I sure hope a business owner doesn't come out and say he's against BDSM. Could you imagine the protesters with their whips and chains.

Haha I sit in my basement on the weekends doing nothing but educating myself...its called working toward a masters degree, and yes I have educated myself on what has happened. The man makes a statement and in this country is free to do so. A gay-lesbian outcry followed soon after which was soon followed by people with different motives. One group felt that the man had a right to free speech and I sit in that group. He has the right to run his business and I have never heard of the Chik turning away gay people. His beliefs are his own and do not have an affect on me nor have they ever interferred with the running of the Chik. The next group were the so called "Christians" who turned this into a same-sex marriage debate and how they supported the Bible and the Chik CEO's stance against same-sex marriage.

These are the people posting on Facebook and writing to newspapers and posting on message boards about homosexuality being an abomination and how they will buy a chicken sandwich today to support the anti-same sex marriage stance. If it was just about free speech I would go buy a sack full of sandwiches, but it has turned into a Bible-belt free for all and has really taken a valid arguement about free speech and turned it into a silly grudge fest for people who believe the Bible is real and that this issue is going against their personal beliefs. If it is about free speech, it affects us all. If it is about same sex marriage, then it matters little to any of us here unless however you may have a more personal relationship to this topic and in that case that is your business and not mine.

So you're saying the bible is a farce,yet you claim to be educating yourself from books that are manmade/written and subject to the same opinions,adjustments,and agendas.
Evidently the Liberals have put out more than their share of college material because looking through my nephews college Government History book there is a definate Liberal Lean to it,blaming Republicans for everything since the Holicaust.Giving the Dems credit for everything,a book should be unbiased and show facts,not persuade kids into sickness.

It is MORE than that .......the very fact that some gubment morons got involved and said they were going to REFUSE their building permits......well, that overstepped the line.

And if you don't think that the moral decay of this country has anything to do with the LIBERAL agenda, you are smokin something much better than the president be smokin.
