And let me tell you, those nuggets were absolutely yummy-yumm-yumm delicious. And the spicy chicken sandwich? Oh, god, it is the perfect union of the two things I love most - Chic-Fil-A chicken and spicy foods. I don't know what they use for their seasoning but their food is just pure ambrosia. I even managed to swipe one of those delectable round french fries that only they sell from one of my friends.
MmmMMmm... perfection.
Well, I mean, almost. Okay, maybe there's one little thing that is lacking but it's really, really minor. And it would be asking too much. Honestly, I'm not even sure it's physically possible.
I mean, can you combine a delicious food with an abstract internet concept? No, probably not.
But let's just say you could. Let's imagine that you really enjoy the taste of Chic-Fi-A nuggets and let's also imagine you enjoy, say, trolling.
Oh, my God.
If only those two things could be brought together somehow. Of course not! That is asking far too much - can you even imagine? If only I could sink my teeth into a tender, yummy Chic-Fil-A nugget and somehow simultaneously troll hipsters with just my very culinary bliss. Oh my that would be...

The chicken biscuit sandwich for breakfast was my favorite food before going into work in the morning. Same goes for the spicy chicken biscuit sandwich. I just wish the hash browns were a bit better. All the lunch stuff was delicious though. The chicken nuggets ARE that good. ISD Dorrim Barstorlode Ensign Community Communication Liasions (CCLs) Interstellar Services Department |

Jada, if you have to explain why your post is a troll post then either a) everyone knows and is ignoring your troll, and/or b) the inflammatory subject matter of your troll isn't as inflammatory as you think it to be.
Although to be honest, their pickle sandwich with a slice of seasoned chicken is just too scrumptious for anyone to care about management's social/political opinions. Meaning, no one cares if you're straight, liberal, conservative, tall, short, straight, gay, whatever, as long you keep making a fantabulous menu out of chicken.

Last time I ate there was back during the summer on -99, while visiting a friend in North Carolina.
Some manner of chicken burger sandwich, very delicious.
Couldn't find it in me to go there again though. Given a choice, I'd rather not support bigoted franchices. Everyone vs. Everyone Online

You need to put the salsa all over those little hash brown nuggets.
Due to it being on the way to work (and then again home) and that I love it, I literally eat there at least 4 times a week.
Someone once told me that the special flavor they have comes from marinating their chicken in pickle juice. I've always wondered if that's true. I hate pickles. But that could be pulled out of a monkey's azz. |

My extremely fundamentalist Christian (Southern Baptist) friend in high school worked at Chick-Fil-A. He was so devout, they even gave him a scholarship for college. I liked Chik-Fil-A food, but could never go in there because of the Southern Baptist cult-like feel of the place. And I was actually a church-goer at the time. |

Latest update: The still-simmering controversy sparked by the Chick-fil-A president's public comments against same-sex marriage is set to reignite this week, as more than 500,000 people say they will join former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" on Wednesday by "simply showing up and eating" at one of the company's 1,600 restaurants, while protesters backed by gay and lesbian groups plan to participate in a same-sex "kiss-in" on Friday at the same stores.Pick your side. Either eat chicken or kiss. |

I used to not go to chic-fil-a because they were a christian organization, but I think I might now just because they are not being pusses and admit their beliefs. Also, hating a place for hating something just makes you the same XD |

Long story short there's nothing special about it. Also I don't get people who started to go there just cause the guy is anti gay.... Who the **** cares? Like conservatives rushing into whole foods all of a sudden after the CEO wrote an opinion on health care.

First: lol
B: LBGTs are in many respects considered a minority, and protected from hate-crimes, in many states.
However, let's not forget that what Chick-Fil-A has said doesn't rise to the level of hate-crime... all they've said is that they believe in christian values and that they don't support gay marriage. They have not said that LBGTs aren't welcome in their restaurants.
3: One might argue that even if they HAD said they don't want LBGTs in their restaurants, that couldn't be considered a hate-crime either. to deconstruct that argument, let's imagine the following example:
one food-chain says it doesn't want gay couples in their restaurants. another food-chain says it doesn't want black couples in their restaurants. which is more likely to be sued by an individual? which is more likely to getting involved in a class-action suit? and which is more likely to lose in court?

IMO, people should be able to do whatever the hell they want-- as long as they don't push it on everybody else. The thing is, in this crazy country (the U.S.A.), if people are in some recognized category, they'll eventually start pushing for that to be a protected class. And there will always be people that abuse that. "You didn't reprimand me because my performance sucks-- you reprimanded me because I'm [a female, a Zoroastrian, an Antarctic-American, whatever]!" "Oh no, male Wiccans are under-represented among senior police officers, we'd better promote some up!"
Kind of seems like LGTG is headed toward becoming a category, i.e. a protected class. Which is fine. I just hope people don't cynically abuse it to get advantages or preferences over other people. Here's hoping...

Everyone in the US has the right to free speech. Everyone also has the right to suffer the repercussions of said speech. Luckily for this business no press is bad press. All I am saying is that this whole issue is just a chance for people to show their already excessively large asses. I just want to know the collective calories swallowed down because of this interview

Well, it has been known for some time that the aforementioned company does provide large sums of money to groups that presume to remove rights from gays, and/or prevent us from acquiring the ones we don't have. This litte media tiff is highlighting that, especially. It's all free speech, but when money starts getting thrown around it becomes political, private enterprise or not. |

How many boycotts have conservative groups conducted over the years and aren't these 'extremists' practising the same rights as others accuse them as trying to squelch? Indeed it does appear some people can't handle others opposing viewpoints.

They have not said that LBGTs aren't welcome in their restaurants. 3: One might argue that even if they HAD said they don't want LBGTs in their restaurants, that couldn't be considered a hate-crime either. to deconstruct that argument, let's imagine the following example: one food-chain says it doesn't want gay couples in their restaurants. another food-chain says it doesn't want black couples in their restaurants. which is more likely to be sued by an individual? which is more likely to getting involved in a class-action suit? and which is more likely to lose in court? feel free to pay me no mind, I am but a fool on a hill.
Chick-Fil-A may not rise to the level of hate crime, but they donate millions of dollars to people who encourage others to, they also actively support groups dedicated to denying LBGT people basic civil rights.

Fast food chain operates as a fundamentalist quasi-cult. Fast food chain acts as an inflammatory social/political activist. People eat fast food as a form of social statement.

I even managed to swipe one of those delectable round french fries that only they sell from one of my friends.
MmmMMmm... perfection.
Well, I mean, almost. Okay, maybe there's one little thing that is lacking but it's really, really minor. And it would be asking too much. Honestly, I'm not even sure it's physically possible.
I mean, can you combine a delicious food with an abstract internet concept? No, probably not.
But let's just say you could. Let's imagine that you really enjoy the taste of Chic-Fi-A nuggets and let's also imagine you enjoy, say, trolling.
Oh, my God.
If only those two things could be brought together somehow. Of course not! That is asking far too much - can you even imagine? If only I could sink my teeth into a tender, yummy Chic-Fil-A nugget and somehow simultaneously troll hipsters with just my very culinary bliss. Oh my that would be...

I got yelled at by protesters when I went to Chick Fil A yesterday.

I could care less that they're protesting...until they call me a "shill for the corporate hatemongers" (how cliche can they possibly be?) for simply buying a product I happen to like.
Today, a dozen friends and I went back to that same store to see if they were still there. They were, waving signs and yelling at anyone who approached the restaurant. So we parked right next to them, bought our food, and had a tailgate party about ten feet from them. They finally got mad enough to put down the signs and come yell at us and we had a great time trolling them.

http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jun/20/opinion/la-ed-poultry-inspection-20120620
Quote: Under a proposed change in federal food safety rules, up to 175 chicken carcasses a minute would whiz by a single government inspector as he attempted to check them for signs of contamination or other problems. Talk about poultry in motion.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has been testing a system, with promising results, under which it could cut the number of government poultry inspectors by 800 and have the employees of processing plants take over much of the inspection and sorting work earlier on in the line. A USDA inspector would then view only the carcasses that had passed earlier screening, but at a much faster pace. Right now, government inspectors examine no more than 35 chickens per minute. Under the new scenario, the processing line would move up to 25% faster.
A 1.4 second visual inspection by a plant employee... The inspections were mostly pointless before, now that they're almost completely pointless, why bother?

So, one orifice is wrong but the other is ok? Reminds me so much of the Egg Cutting Technique in Swift-¦s Travels of Gulliver

Brujo Loco wrote:Call me naive but I quite never understood the rage over who puts what in what hole. As a person with a religious background, let me shed some light on how it's supposed to be: It's not a matter of what hole you stick it in, it's that there's a very specific rule for who you're supposed to stick it in: that person being your wife. Not married? Keep it in your pants. Married? Keep it in your wife. Gay? That would fall under "not married". Anything else is contrary to the rules given directly from God.
So why oppose gay marriage? In the eyes of most of these people, marriage is an institution set forth by God. To call two men "married" violates that institution and insults their religion. To them, supporters of gay marriage are trying to take a concept that was divinely given to humanity, and redefine it in a way contrary to the wishes of God. Of *course* they're going to be offended by it.
Does that mean they hate gays? No. Now, I'm not saying that there aren't any religious people who hate gays, I'm saying that it's not actually mandated in the religion. Like prohibition, this "gays are evil" mentality has been added by fearful, self-serving individuals. In fact they're instructed to show such people the MOST love and kindness.
Jesus only ever insulted one group of people: the corrupt religious leadership. He only ever demonstrated anger in one place: a temple in which the priesthood had tainted the holiness of the place by allowing and even encouraging marketers to sell goods. In the presence of cheaters, con men, prostitutes, lepers, adulterers, angry mobs, and oppressive rulers...he was forgiving.

FloppieTheBanjoClown wrote:explanation etc,etc
I still fail to understand it. But I appreciate (truly) the effort. In my head, the base argument is moot. Arbitrarily deciding what you can put in any orifice is as logical as any arbitrary reason. Enforcing it on others is even more ... arbitrary.
I lived in a country where not being part of the red political party meant you would not be able to get jobs or get ahead in life and would be cut from several government sponsored benefits. I simply decided to leave, Arbitrary reasons for any act are simply wrong in my book. Will never ever try to understand or even bother for that matter to let myself be guided by PEOPLE voicing their opinions and putting them as LAWS and/or Enforcing them upon others.
My whole point being that no amount of explanation will ever be right for arbitrary reasons of any magnitude. This is beyond hate, activism or even plain sharing of different opinions, its a simple matter of CHOICE.
If a group of people decides and believe their choice lies in someone saying they have to abide by a set of arbitrary rules good for them, may they find happiness everlasting, but honestly, caring for orifice insertion as dictated by X, x being anything you want to name as the sum of all your fears, societal pressure and background plus experience only demonstrates your lack of choice or apathy regarding choice.
I can further illustrate my point here .
Nothing you said, which I respect to the bottom of my heart, has any meaning regarding my naivete on orifice insertion being correct or incorrect question. You just demonstrated you made a choice, yet fail to satisfy the primary need regarding the pivotal issue at hand. How can logically, such a thing be even a point of discussion that inflames the passions of others, much like Jonathan Swift himself, despising the current Political trends of his era , decided to create the Issue of the Cutting of the Eggs to satirize the Illogical acts of many of their brethren regarding acts that even today, 200+ years in the future , seem to be the norm.
In short, you just told me how to cut an Egg from the short end as seen by one of the Liliputians and perpetuated ad nauseam.

Arbitrarily deciding what you can put in any orifice is as logical as any arbitrary reason. Enforcing it on others is even more ... arbitrary. I suppose I should have made that more clear: nowhere in what I wrote do I mention forcing that upon anyone else.
Christianity was originally far more libertarian than the Christians like to admit: you're given a set of rules, the consequences, and allowed to choose for yourself whether you follow those rules. It was never for men to decide right from wrong; the Bible is full of people being corrected when they tried to pass judgment on others.
Keep in mind that marriage is a completely different issue. In this case the rational conservatives are the ones presenting the most honest rhetoric: this is a fight over the definition of marriage, NOT over the right to it. They maintain that the definition of marriage is static, basing their belief on thousands of years of tradition and their belief in its divine origin. *IF* marriage is contained to that strict definition, then homosexual marriage is impossible. As one person said, it's like asking for dry water. This is a fight over culture and religion. I wish both sides would leave the government out of it.
There are plenty who, given the power, would certainly like to dictate the choice of orifice. I choose not to give those hypocrites and bigots the honor of being discussed in any rational manner.

Ermmmm..... bad analogy or subtle troll, not sure which and really, it doesn't matter.
I'd say it was up to believers in vengeful bearded sky fairies to decide amongst themselves if their invisible BFF wants to bless the union of folk of the same genital group. I've had a look at their Bumper Fun Big Grim Book of Threatening Fairy Tales of Deity Sanctioned Mass Murder, and it can possibly be interpreted as saying Rule #1; nahhhhhh poofters (Rule #2; Rule #1 applies at all times etc. etc.). Whatever... if they want to believe it let 'em get on with it.
What isn't up for them to decide is weather gay couples get the same rights as in a secular society as straight couples. Either marriage is a universal right or it isn't, and if it isn't then it's not a right then it's a privilege, and there is no room for privilege in any truly civilised society.
Weather you choose to eat at a place owned by someone who espouses a particular point of view is a matter for your own conscience I'd say. One original thought is worth a thousand mindless quotings - Diogenes. |

Hey, don't knock it. The Mormons have their magic underwear, the Catholics have transubstantiation, the Jews have their magic lamp oil, and the Chick-Fil-A has the Tasty Pickle.
Maybe it's just the fact that I've always hated every single piece of Chicken that has come out of that place, but the chicken + pickle has a special place in my heart. For hatred that is.
Every single freaking time, the pickle juice seeps into the breading of the chicken and it just sits there in some disgusting salty cacophony of pickle and nasty breading. Yuck.
Ergo, I knock it SO hard. It is just my opinion, though. |

As a person with a religious background, let me shed some light on how it's supposed to be: It's not a matter of what hole you stick it in, it's that there's a very specific rule for who you're supposed to stick it in: that person being your wife. Not married? Keep it in your pants. Married? Keep it in your wife. Gay? That would fall under "not married". Anything else is contrary to the rules given directly from God. So why oppose gay marriage? In the eyes of most of these people, marriage is an institution set forth by God. To call two men "married" violates that institution and insults their religion. To them, supporters of gay marriage are trying to take a concept that was divinely given to humanity, and redefine it in a way contrary to the wishes of God. Of *course* they're going to be offended by it. Does that mean they hate gays? No. Now, I'm not saying that there aren't any religious people who hate gays, I'm saying that it's not actually mandated in the religion. Like prohibition, this "gays are evil" mentality has been added by fearful, self-serving individuals. In fact they're instructed to show such people the MOST love and kindness. Jesus only ever insulted one group of people: the corrupt religious leadership. He only ever demonstrated anger in one place: a temple in which the priesthood had tainted the holiness of the place by allowing and even encouraging marketers to sell goods. In the presence of cheaters, con men, prostitutes, lepers, adulterers, angry mobs, and oppressive rulers...he was forgiving. While I understand that you're a troll, the fact that idiotic Christians think they have a monopoly on what is considered marriage and what isn't, even though it predates their little religion, is completely moronic. Even gay marriage predates Christianity so I don't see why Christians think they should have a say on other peoples' rights. Then again, there is the whole "Christmas" thing as well but that's another issue. |

Had this conversation with a friend a while back. I'm of the mind that marriage isn't a right, at least not the legal part of it. You have the RIGHT to freely engage in whatever religious ritual you choose, so if you want to have a wedding and call yourself married I don't think anyone is entitled to stop you. However, the legal contract that we call marriage goes above and beyond that and certainly falls into the realm of "privilege".
One thing our society is lacking is a way to confer the privileges of a marital contract without actually calling yourself married. We have separate processes for joint ownership of possessions, medical authority, and other things that are automatically a part of marriage, but it's a lot more steps and doesn't perfectly emulate the marriage contract. The obvious solution is to simple remove "marriage" from the legal discourse entirely and move to civil unions, but something that rational would never survive the idiocy of the fringe groups.

What they call "dry water" is a "water-silica compound"...which is like calling rust "solid iron". The analogy was good enough to make the point: from the perspective of the Christian, "gay marriage" simply isn't possible because it can't be a marriage without a man and a woman.

I should be tolerant and understanding to people in a relatively new religion who think they can not only pick and choose which parts of the Bible they want to follow but also think they should have the power to decide on other peoples' civil rights? Sorry, Sally, I don't think so. When marriage, and gay marriage, predate your religion, you have absolutely no right to decide what marriage is or isn't. You know what's actually funny? If we actually kept true to the whole "separation of Church and State", this wouldn't be an issue at all. Even though marriage wasn't a religious ceremony when it was first created, it is now and therefore should not have any legal weight whatsoever. Then hate mongering Christians going against their own "Lord's" words would really have nothing to ***** and moan about. If civil unions actually gave the same rights that marriage does and were actually the "norm", this wouldn't be an issue at all. I would call this a case of "Separate but equal" but the two things aren't even equal. Am I saying what they are doing is wrong? Yes, yes I am. Sorry, hypocritical sheeple should not be the ones deciding on the rights of people because of some 2,000 year old fairy tale.

Holy rambling paragraph, batman!
Your disdain for people of faith clearly prevents you from having a rational conversation about their motivations. I made some things very clear in earlier posts that you're either blatantly ignoring or completely failing to comprehend. Either way, I see no purpose in attempting to discuss this further with you.

The proper solution is to ensure that all law refers to exclusively to civil union, and leave the term "marriage" for churches. So, when you go to the church you get the legal "civil union" part and the inherently religious "marriage" part. Those who don't care about the optional religious add on can dispense with it entirely as it doesn't have a legal (de jure) difference. It's unlike that this would create a difference in practice (de facto) because in this case a same sex marriage would be identical to a more traditional civil union in any meaningful manner, and existing anti-discrimination laws and rules should handle any attempt to draw a distinction.
But, such a compromise is apparently unacceptable. I haven't the slightest idea why, if it's about rights then this is a clear way to have the rights issue resolved and remove the most common justification for opposition.
If all Christians were really out the "get" you, then you'd be gotten. A supermajority of Americans are Christian. If they really wanted to make homosexuality illegal then it would be illegal. It's bad practice (and actually plays into the hand of the people you are actually mad at) to attack all of them for a trait exhibited by a surprisingly small minority. |
