they do not have a right to discriminate if their are a public business... if they want to make their business a private club.. they can have at it
Alleged, correct? Whilst I understand the need to keep repeating the word balls in an effort to denigrate these folks, doesn't that actually avoid the follow up of Big Earl's daughter calling these guys (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s?
Sure they can. They can discriminate against shirtless people, shoeless people, people with tattoos, long hair, blue eyes. Only race gender, religion? and country of origin are protected.
I'm sure he's realized he can survive without that 3% of the population's patronage it's like Chic-fil-a.... they lost the gay customer, but ended up gaining more over the controversy and recorded the highest profit for the year, ever, in 12. got love when a plan backfires....
I apologize for responding so late, as I actually have a study period at the moment. After all, I am just a high school student that happens to take AP classes. However, this is an interesting point: what do you think of Chick-Fil-A? They were against gays as clientele and ended up growing substantially. So the premise that Big Earl's will deteriorate is not necessarily valid; again, it is actually more likely that it will grow due to this extensive publicity.
I believe your contentions were Big Earl's was successful, and that all publicity is good publicity. Now, reviewing that, it woudl appears there is no evidence that they are successful., certainly none put forth to support your claims. Additionally, an example was provided showing some rather negative publicity, dispelling your claim that all publicity is good. I don't really give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about the chicken place. I am discussing Big Earl's.
yeah, I'd avoid the stories of success that relate to situations like we are discussing, too. It's more convenient to the agenda. I don't know if Big Earl's is successful or not, but if they choose NOT to want to cater to flaming homosexuals, and is willing to take that economic hit.... that's their economic decision. You seem to be thinking 3% of the total population significantly hurts his bottom line. The owner obviously doesn't. sometimes, bad customers hurt your bottom line more than losing that bad customer hurts it.
Or I have no desire to participate in some off topic garbage praising the bigotry of another place. That could be it too.
donating to FCA/FCS is not bigotry.... you just are upset that CFA actually proves my point... that you don't need 3% of the total population to record record profits for the year. #shocking
Just so you know, Chick-Fil-A made the changes that they should have and stopped contributing to groups that actively work to harm gay people. So, looks like we got what we wanted. And they were NEVER against gay people as clientele. http://articles.latimes.com/2013/ja...donations-to-antigay-marriage-groups-20130128 Now, can we get track on topic?
Perfect example of classic trolling. Ask a question. Other poster opts to not engage. Criticize other poster for stances he does not have. Do mean a solid. If you want to take me to task on something I said then go ahead. But do not lob criticism at me for (*)(*)(*)(*) that I never said. Do not attack me for refusing to go on your little tangent with you hand in hand.
What bothered me with this story was how it was handled. Assuming this is a family bait shop/restaurant, any form of public displays of affection are probably frowned upon. A man/woman making out in the corner may not sit well with some patrons. So if indeed these two gentlemen were exceeding the boundary of common decency related to public displays of affection, I don't blame the owner for challenging them. However, resorting to epithets...calling them f**s, etc, banning them from the baitshop/restaurant for life, is bad form. It may be his right, I'm not questioning that, but it's bad form. "We don't serve f**s" I mean c'mon, was that necessary?
There's an amendment protecting blacks. That amendment does not apply to the group tennis players or to the group called gays. If we want to vote a change to the amendment to include sexual preference in addition to sex(aka gender), then so be it.
by choosing "not to engage" you really mean.... I will bring it up get a word in about my hatred to a group that I don't agree with politically, but I won't refute the point, then claim trolling gotcha
No, by refuse to engage I mean I refuse to engage your posts comments about the chicken place. Now that we have established that, perhaps our focus should return to Big Earl's.
no more necessary than "if you don't agree with my politics, you are a homophobic bigot" I don't agree with either, but lets call a spade a spade, shall we. The problem I have with this movement is this... what if a business owner does kick out a couple for excessive PDA. If it's a hetero couple, it never makes news, if it's a gay couple, now all of a sudden, it was because he was a bigot, no matter what really happened.
If doubling their giving to anti-LGBT is what you wanted, then you did get your way! Chick-fil-A Foundations Anti-LGBT Giving Nearly Doubled
You keep stating you want to return to Big Earl's, yet you never actually make any points you defend with evidence. I used Chick-Fil-A as an example.
That does not even make sense. Am I supposed to provide examples of waitresses calling folks (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s being indicative of bigotry? Sorry, but I think most folks are aware of the term (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) being offensive to others, gay and straight. If you are not clear on the offensive nature of such derogatory vitriol, I am not sure what that has to do with anything I have said.
I love how "marraige and family foundation" and "fcs" and 'ncs" are classified by the left as "hate groups", too. lol a Christian owner giving to Christian groups.... how bigoted and ignorant....
Your uses of the term "bigotry" are really starting to get annoying. The bottom line is, Big Earl's can serve whomever they please and can say whatever they please to any of their customers, especially if they start getting sexual (various sources indicate this, so stop trying to fight it). If you don't like it, don't eat there. It's really that simple. And if they weren't successful now, which you have not defended, just wait until the conservative community starts to promote it and eat there. Liberals have said worse to Christians, yet I have never heard anyone speak out for us, except for conservatives. The war on Christians is much more real than the "war on gays." Thankfully, people are starting to wake up and stop the disgusting liberal agenda against religion. So please, spare me the sob story about getting kicked out of a restaurant. There are bigger fish to fry than helping gays achieve "equal rights." Ukraine? Syria? Benghazi? Our own deteriorating economy? Limiting business regulation? Creating jobs? If people spent as much time pondering those more important issues as they have with this one, they would have been solved already. Instead, here we are, still arguing over "gay rights." Disgusting. Stop making a big deal out of a restaurant kicking out a gay "couple" and using a derogatory slur. People sin, they repent. This is not WWIII. I'm not saying the choice of words was best by the daughter, but come on, things like that are said every day. There's no need to make a big deal out of it; again, you're asking for it when you start making sexual advances in a FAMILY RESTAURANT. Big Earl's did the right thing, and they've got a TON of support. Your move.
When you're in denial, the truth hurts. I have the right to walk in front of a speeding bus too, but thatdoesn't make it right, or smart. It's far from that simple. Aaaaaannnnnnnd that's it with this retarded post. It get's stupider and more hsyterical with every line........you can't swing a cat by the tail around Xmas time without knocking over someone's Xmas decorations. Life must be slendid inside the conservative media bubble.
