    Dude you must be a moron or just so embittered about the Christians.

    My usual order is grilled chicken on a whole wheat bun and unsweetened iced tea. always tasty and always served by polite employees. On the other hand I like the occasional Wendy's, Popeyes, Subway or McDonalds. Still I've occasionally had stale food and/or surly service at the others.

    I have no idea what Christians have to do with abhorring junk food of all types. I know what they do to their food, chik fil is no different. It's food with the nutritional content of pet food masked with salt and sugar.

    Well I could give a fuck about what you choose to eat but that's what this thread is about dimwit. Boycotting a particular restaurant because the ownership is Christian.

    well nobody has a problem every year when FOX goes on it's annual rant calling for boycotts of any company that uses the word holidays in it's ad campaign. Not a peep.

    They call for it every year. Every single year. And you know that. I'm just saying nobody say's anything when they call for the boycott of companies simply because they called it the holiday season instead of Christmas. So why fuss about a group of college students who decided that for their university, they didn't want to associate with chik fil A? If the students on that campus really want Chik Fil A...they'll vote out that student govt next year and then they'll have their pet food fix. Democracy at work. It's not like denying chik fil A a spot on campus is the same as the city denying them a spot, which I agree cannot be allowed.

  • Everybody on Fox does this? that's stupid. You ever watch Fox News? Even once?

  • I'll go out on a limb and venture a guess that Fox News has never officially call for a boycott of anywhere and furthermore never banned a service or product from their organization because of religious disagreement. I'm sure if there is any example Media Matters or some other bunch of assholes has found it and flogged it.

    WSS

  • What never? Hardly ever?

  • I'm sure that Fox never officially calls for boycotts - they just let their on air guys do it, then file a small text apology stating their views do not represent the organisation.

  • What never? Hardly ever?

    Yeah a close read would probably enlighten one to the words I used about "venturing a guess." That would mean I am admitting that I could be wrong. Fair enough?

  • I wasn't calling you out on saying never - though you could just google and find that it has indeed happened at least a couple of times. I was just reminded of the HMS Pinafore score.

  • I did a quick google Fox News boycott Christians and didn't really see anything worth reporting.

    I don't doubt O'Reilly or Hannity might have bitched about something but I'd be surprised if it rose to the level of banning a fast food restaurant. Who knows?

    WSS

  • That's pretty much it - fox won't call for a boycott, but you'll get the likes of O'Reilly saying "this business is a disgrace to real americans, and all patriots out there know what they should about it" and hide behind the 'he didn't actually say anything about a boycott' line.

  • quite possibly. I'm sure some college student who feels Hitler would have been good for the world would call for a boycott of Manischewitz wine. Not quite the same as booting it off the college campus, but...

    That said, on a personal level I really see no problem with it, but attempting to a conduct nationwide boycott on a product like liberals and liberal politicians try to do is wrong.

    omg you hypocritical cunt lord. You fucking conservatives try to organize nationwide boycotts every fucking year at Christmas against companies that did absolutely nothing wrong against anybody except had the audacity to call Christmas "the holidays" in their ad campaigns. The cognitive dissonance with you people is just overwhelming. You absolutely step all over your own dicks and just don't seem to care whatsoever.

    "hypocritical cunt lord"? lol

    You obviously thought you "got me" huh? Insipid name calling seems to be what happens when irrational exuberance overwhelms you. Learn to read before you get your panties all knotted up.

    You responded to my statement where I indicated that I dont agree with organized boycotts.

    I'll just go with calling you a dumbass.

    There was a decision made by the democratically elected representatives of the students to not allow the company to establish an outlet there, for political reasons. I really don't see why people are upset or surprised. The whole narrative all along from a lot of people on here has been 'if they don't want to serve gay people, that's their business and if people don't like it, the business will suffer' - now the business is suffering and people are complaining about that?

  • Chik fil a serves gay people. Woody already stated he loves their food.

  • Zing!

    Democratically elected? Teehee.. Anyway it's probably not hurting their business. I would imagine Christians as well as other decent and fair minded individuals will choose there restaurants in part because of these little liberal weenies. and come on Chris you know it has nothing to do with freedom to choose... Or capitalism...
