Chick-Fil-A Has 'Record-Setting Day' thanks to countless social conservatives showing up for "Chick- - Polidicks

[QUOTE=redBadger;37066702]Yeah not buying their food sure put a dent in their pocket.[/QUOTE] Clearly I was right when I said you don't care about principle If you want to be an apathetic asshole fine, but don't come in here criticising people for having opinions

Not really. It's not a restaurants business to be dicking around in politics, but I don't care what they do with the money. They've got an amazing restaurant and a great company, despite this whole gay bullshit. but its their money to do with as they please, so I don't care. Call me what you want, but I've got myself to worry about.

[QUOTE=redBadger;37066733]Call me what you want[/QUOTE] A selfish hypocrite and a homophobe

[QUOTE=James*;37066716]Clearly I was right when I said you don't care about principle If you want to be an apathetic asshole fine, but don't come in here criticising people for having opinions[/QUOTE] Kind of like how I was criticized for having an opinion when this whole thing started? How'd you think I felt?

[QUOTE=redBadger;37066752]Kind of like how I was criticized for having an opinion when this whole thing started? How'd you think I felt?[/QUOTE] I'm not criticizing you for having an opinion I'm criticizing you for having a shitty one And if you sold chicken I wouldn't buy it

[QUOTE=redBadger;37066752]Kind of like how I was criticized for having an opinion when this whole thing started? How'd you think I felt?[/QUOTE] YOU LITERALLY JUST SAID THAT YOU DON'T CARE. THAT'S YOUR OPINION "I DON'T CARE" SO YOU HAVE A NON-OPINION. IF YOU DO HAVE AN OPINION IT'S "I DON'T CARE IF MY MONEY IS PUT TOWARDS MURDERING GAYS IN UGANDA OR STOPPING GAYS FROM LIVING HAPPILY IN THE USA AS LONG AS I GET MY CHICKEN" so what is it? you have no opinion, aka you should just stop posting because why bother joining a discussion if you have no opinion, or you have a disgusting and hateful opinion that DESERVES criticism

So giving someone money in the full knowledge that they will use it to wrongfully execute people is objectively wrong, yes? ...So why is it different when there's greasy chicken involved?

[QUOTE=redBadger;37066574]Yeah because every single person who went was a conservative homophobe. That would sure be a lot of people. you guys are fucking idiots. your only defense is the Uganda thing, which quite frankly is the only justifiable thing to be mad about. Being mad at a guy voicing his opinion only because he was asked his stance on the issue is fucking stupid to say the least. Donating money to anti gay groups as well is in their rights, so shut the fuck up and get over it. It's not like you guys are helping anyway.[/QUOTE] No one is necessarily attacking him for his opinion, they are attacking him for the fact that he [i]acted[/i] on them. Since he's a CEO with a lot of experience, he most likely knows what the context he would give if he donated to hate groups. Actions speak louder than words. No one deserves to respect him if he doesn't respect them.

Well it's great to see that you people all sit on non-child made chairs and use non-slavelabour made computers while eating fruits that definitely did not come from a third world country where people don't have the basic rights and the money they make goes to dictators who use it to fund various atrocities.

Where there are viable alternatives, i.e. fairtrade, I use them

[QUOTE=CheeseMan;37064984]Just for the sake of anyone else in the thread, it's the Family Research Council that spent about $25,000 lobbying the government to not disapprove of that Ugandan bill. Chick-fil-a's charity arm, WinSharpe, has donated substantial dosh to them. Oh damn you got in before me To be fair it is slightly loose, but WinSharpe is basically tied to Chick-fil-a so I'd call that one and the same rather than a connection.[/QUOTE] Forget the FRC, Exodus international sent people to Uganda to convince them to pass KTG. Chick-Fil-A was funding them so their money basically went directly to killing gays.

However, a majority of people knew for certain that Chick Fel Lay donated their money to hate groups, even the CEO said that himself. Despite everyone knowing about it, people still attended the mass event with the intention of ignoring/spiting the opposing side. This is what disturbed me the most. I think it's similar to the attitudes of the majority in the civil rights era. It's his choice, but I think it's an unreasonable one. It's equivalent to donating to the KKK because you hate gang violence.

Also I have some huge doubts that you don't use anything that has been made in an unethical way, mostly because it's almost impossible.

Again, convenience (and possibly it's better than most other fast food? Different people like different food). There are alternatives, like I don't know, not buying that brand new GPU so you can run your games at 32x AA instead of 16x and fund the slavelabour (this isn't referred to you, just people here in general)? What's that? You want to play your game at 1200p? You mean just like some people want that specific dish and/or can't be arsed to take the car instead of just walking to the food?

[QUOTE=Fenriswolf;37060194]Heh, I work at chick fil a and I wasn't there to witness the chaos but one of my co-workers said that some guy came in an asked for, "2 Non-faggot sandwiches"[/QUOTE] The one time jerking off into a person's food would've been hilarious. I think what Chick Fil A is doing is terrible and I don't eat there, but everyone saying people are terrible people and assholes for eating there are laughable. If you're going to go that far to write them off as horrible human beings you better re-evaluate everything that your money goes towards, because supporting evil is unfortunately inevitable. I'll avoid the place when I can, but f I end up at a Chick Fil A with friends I won't be that guy that refuses to eat because it's kinda silly considering everywhere else I buy things from or subscribe to.

[QUOTE=n0cturni;37068610]I like when people use this as a retort because they're basically saying that what X is doing is okay just because other things do X and perhaps Y.[/QUOTE] It doesn't make it ok, it just makes it funny when those people then accusing other people of being gay hating murderers and genocide supporters because they ate at a fastfood joint.

You know what? Fuck Facepunch. This topic is basically everything that's wrong with Facepunch in a nutshell. You know the leaps of logic and guilt by association that conservatives use to condemn people all the time and try to make it look like anyone who, for instance, watches comedy central or some shit, is an evil baby eating satan worshiper? This is the same god damned shit. [url]http://equalitymatters.org/factcheck/201207020001[/url] Do you know how much money Winshape gave to Exodus International? $1000. That's less than 0.01% of their donation money. Aside from them the only one that did anything related to the Uganda issue is Family Research Council (who also got only $1000) and they've already said that the reason they lobbied against the resolution was because of the wording and not because they weren't against Uganda's human rights violations. You want to say that Chick Fil A is horrible for giving money to anti gay causes? You'll be right. You want to say it's a bad thing to eat there regardless of that? You won't hear any argument from me. But making the jump from that to "If you eat at Chick Fil A you're a homophobe who is directly giving money to lynch mobs" is fucking bullshit. It's exactly this type of emotionally driven, guilt by association leap of logic which is why everyone is fucking sick of the Conservative party and all it does is make everyone on the other side think you're an asshole instead of getting them to see it from your point of view. I know I'm going to get dumbs for this post but fuck it. I usually agree with Lankist about things but right now he's thinking with his emotions and his anger and not with his brain. Even if they had actually contributed an actual substantial amount of money to Exodus International, eating there knowing that still wouldn't make someone a "homophobe". And the fact is, they DIDN'T contribute an anywhere NEAR substantial amount of money to Exodus International. This topic is full of the same inflammatory, emotional driven, exaggerated garbage that conservatives are infamous for spreading nowadays and I am deeply ashamed of ALL of you. Especially you, Lankist, considering how much respect I had for you up until now.

if you give chik fil a your money knowing that they donate to these hate groups, doesn't matter if you support it or not, you're still a horrible person if you can't understand that you're Pretty Fucking Stupid

Here's something you might find interesting [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_International#Ugandan_conference[/url] [quote]Close to a year later, Chambers expressed regret for the organization's involvement, and spoke out against the nation's "Kill the Gays" bill.[/quote] [url]http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/03/22/21345[/url] [quote]Exodus International believes that every human life, regardless of an individual’s sexual behavior, is of inestimable worth to God and that defending this principle is foundational in offering a Christian response to any issue. As such, Exodus International has not and will not support any legislation that deprives others of life and dignity including, but not limited to, Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009. We stand with all who are defending this basic, biblical tenet and remain committed to sharing the compassion, hope and life-giving truth and grace of Jesus Christ. “In November of 2009, several of us sent a letter to Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and First Lady Musenevi expressing our concerns regarding The Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009. The legislation would render some homosexual practices crimes punishable by life imprisonment and possible death. We believe that sexual crimes against children, whether committed by someone of the same or opposite sex, are the most serious of offenses and should be punished; we consider same-sex behavior in consensual adult relationships another matter.[/quote] Again, the fact that it took 11 pages for someone to mention this is deeply disappointing.

And then people say "yeah but I don't care it's free opinion" (funding anti-gay rights is as much an opinion as hanging black people) You accusing us of bigotry is absolutely fruitless because you are basically saying that we should either improve everything or nothing at all because focusing on one injust issue while NOT focusing on another(mass produced PCs and clothing for example) would somehow invalidate any argument regarding the issue AT HAND. And that's just a stance that says "ah fuck the world I can't help everyone so I help noone at all I am better off as an asshole" Srsly.
