    Exactly. That's why I criticized the people and not the restaurant. Those folks came out to spend money on chicken sandwiches to support the management of the company in their crusade against a just and equal legal system. They cared more about supporting a for-profit company than they did about justice.

    That's why I stated specifically that it was the management that was doing the support, not the entire company or all it's employees.
    Right, they care more about chicken sandwiches than they do about justice. That's what I already said.

    I condemn anyone that called in threats of threats more than I do the management, because the management may support arbitrary exclusions in the law, but they weren't supporting the physical harm of anybody. But folks didn't go out and buy a chicken sandwich because someone threatened the company making the chicken sandwich, they did it because of the support it'[s management gives to the cause of injustice. You can hide behind religious beliefs and freedom of belief all you want, what you support when you do not support marriage equality is the continued arbitrary use of the law to legislate pointless morality that doesn't harm folks. If you can't see how that's dangerous, you shouldn't be commenting on political issues in the first place.

    You remain to be incorrect with your "Opinions are not discrimination".

    To your: "You can't punish for beliefs."
    It is yes you can do that perfectly fine. We don't want a christian version of Sharia law.
    And when it's expressed that your believe is going to have negative consequences for others,.. than you crossed the line.
    Way over the line.

    Have I commented on the Trump issue?

    linguistic nazi's :no:

    And I remain to fail to see a problem with discriminating people who discriminate.
    You can leave the whole company thing out of it. It's a personal issue when you discriminate.

    I wish people who discriminate a rather poor existence. Something up with that?

    Negative. Us people can discriminate people who like to discriminate.
    I fail to see why it is that they got some moral right to do that, and others do not.

    I made no such claim. The claim is in the OP. And what you write, seems to suggest that they are doing that, with your "(the) owners get to believe what they want".

    It wasn't the management, it was the owner.
    Yet the protests, threats, etc., were directed toward the individual managers, employees and stores.
    Who had absolutely nothing to do with any anti-SSM feelings the Truett Cathy had.


    Seems people cared about justice. For the people who were being protested and whose lives were being threatened.
    Many people who supported them immediately afterward have never been back, because CFA's aren't local to everyone. If they cared about chicken sandwiches they would have been back.

    What a stupid accusation.


    That's good. Some lefties consider it justified.

    Apparently the owners do want to discriminate. I fail to see a problem with discriminating those who like to discriminate. If they want to do it, and you think it's all perfectly dandy, than why are others not allowed to do that?

    The time isn't now. But technically when being discriminated and oppressed... than eventually morally it is justified to use violence.
    That's how a person like Mandela got convicted as a terrorist.

    Theg don't support encouraging and sanctioning homosexuality which is their right too you know and the government has no business restricting them in any way for their personal beliefs.

    So if a conservative city council votes to deny a company a license because the owner supports Planned Parenthood you will not object?

    Wrong.
    The original owner is the one who donated the money, but he's been dead for a year.
    Why are you still going on about him?


    That's why your repeated argument of:

    is completely irrelevant.

    They don't discriminate... no mater how many times you claim they do.

    While at the same time, they'll tell you they hope you have kids that turn out gay. Very tolerant bunch. It would be great to see DIA do business with Trump, maybe the lesbo chick would leave. No room for hateful people on councils.

    Uh, yeah.... the ability of a man to marry a man.. in every state (not just some), is certainly worth killing for.

    ffs....

    You tried with your "kiss-in", and you were dwarfed by the number of normal people who came out to tell you guys to put a sock in it.


    As long as they are serving and hiring Gay people...thats all the law can ask for. They do, and do...so whatever they believe is A-Ok for them to believe. Even if it hurts Gay feelings.

    They should have to have their feelings "ok'd" to bring a business into an area...just lawful compliance.

    Perhaps you can show proof of CFA discriminating. Good God, when did you guys get so hypersensitive and touchy? The man doesn't agree with gay marriage, who cares? That's just reality.


    Oh well, it's still the best fast food chain in America. Always will be as long as the whiners keep hating.

    And it would appear that the cusomers don't have a problem with Chic fil a. They make more in 6 days and the others do in 7. Only ones with a problem are the council.

    Perhaps something you should keep in mind. You guys had the chance to let this fly when a gay couple was denied a cake, but you insisted it was wrong, so you'll have to get what you give. Reality doesn't give two craps about political correctness.

    Apparently everybody else things it is rather relevant with their you're free to express your religion and pretending to be profoundly jaw dropping astonished that when you want to discriminate gay people that you get discriminated yourself. With there "How there they discriminate me when I want to discriminate, they don't got no rights only I do".
