1) Chick-Fil-A sucks

2) I wouldn't support a bigoted operation like that, and if you do you should be ashamed of yourself.

3) Homosexuals don't tell Christians how to live their life, so who the hell are Christians to tell homosexuals how to live?

Marriage should be allowed for everyone.

I might be old fashion but to me marriage should be one man & one woman. With that said several of my best friends are gay and I think gays should have the same rights as everyone else. I think they should be able to marry but I don't think it needs to be called marriage.

To me it has never been fair that gay couples shouldn't be able to get tax breaks, and other stuff married couples can -- I just don't think we need to call it married.

Just my thoughts and I think a good many people feel the same way.

[citz...@gmail.com]

marriage is just a word, get over it. Why not call it a "Christian marriage' if you're so concerned about it just being between a man and a woman? At least that would be specific to your beliefs.

[vdojaq]

Because he did not say anything about being Christian, he just commented
on what the word marriage means to him. He did not show any concern at
all, he shared his thoughts and you decide to jump on him. So who is
acting out on this? Take a look in the mirror.

What I find appalling is the media that takes an OPINION of what one
believes marriage should be and spins it into hatred for gays.

I personally believe, without any religious connotation, that marriage
is between a man and a woman. That is NOT gay bashing, it is my personal
belief/opinion.

If I say I don't think Mexicans should be here illegally, does that mean
I am racist and hate Mexicans? Absolutely not, but the liberal media
sure does.

Really depressing to be a younger person getting into the hobby, only to find I have to wade through a lot of misogynist, malevolent hate speech just to find actual content.

I guess in any hobby populated mostly by older people, one can expect to find an abundance of old-fashioned and out of touch points of view. Its just kind of shocking for a person like myself who generally doesn't have to confront these kinds of things in any other part of my life.

Not to say I haven't met a lot of good people in the hobby of all ages, it just seems kind of prevalent here.

As I do for the rest of society, I look forward to a time when finding intolerant, malicious opinions about race, gender, and lifestyle here to be a thing of the past.

[homebrood]

Hey I ain't no damn misogynist! I don't think a man should be able to have more than one wife! I do agree that older people are out of touch though. Too bad we're not all perfect like younger people like yourself. It's a good thing you younger people are so much better and in touch than us old farts! You just keep being better than everyone! Maybe you could do a little less drugs and crime and shootings but otherwise Great Job!

You idiots are arguing about FRIED CHICKEN.

Eat there or don't. Who gives a fuck. I find it hilarious that we are
now supposed to affirm our cultural and political opinons by voting
via fast food restuarant.

We now have national holidays to celebrate hating gay marriage by
eating at a fast food joint? Awesome.

On Friday, gay marriage lovers are going to go to Chic-Fil-As across
the country and make out. Dudes will be smooching right by the
polenysian sauce containers. Fabulous.

This is all very productive.

I'm still trying to figure out if I'm supposed to go to the movies or
not go to the movies to make my voice heard on the gun control issue.

The issue is that even if you believe that being gay is a sin, you should be free to believe that. The gov't should not be permitted to punish those who do not hold a certain belief even if it differs from yours.

Personally I'd like the gov't to also stay away from the dictionary. All people deserve equal rights, but no one should have the right to redefine words.. it's just too creepy and newspeak.

No but the activists are making government officials break the first amendment by attempting to deny them to build in their city simply based upon their Christian viewpoint. How do you suppose it would fly if say an Islamic temple or Gay bookstore were denied the right to open in a city, there'd be lawsuits...and it'd be in the media in seconds. There's no coverage of this at all, and why do you suppose this is...because they WANT obama elected again, and would never broadcast news that would hurt his campaign.

Exactly, the same people who get all bent out of shape about gay rights are now denying these people THEIR right for their beliefs, it's all really f'd up. We need to clean house and get people in these positions that have have an f'in brain. I don't care if you choose not to eat there because you don't agree with the concept of Christianity, but for the GOVERNMENT to even suggest that a business cannot open in a city because of the ownership views is so blatantly against the first amendment it's treasonous. Especially when a lot of these cities have unemployment rates through the roof, and you're turning away business...god help us all!

We have already changed the definition of marriage. The Old Testament
allows for polygamy (hey, it's in the Bible!). Somewhere along the
line people realized that polygamy causes a whole lot of social
problems and the definition of marriage was changed. No reason it
can't be done again.

Having said that, the president of Chik Fil A is an idiot. He not
only can't spell but he has interjected himself into an extremely
heated topic and his business will likely suffer for it. Most
businesses try their hardest to avoid this kind of thing.

Personally, I hate holy rollers that throw their shitty ass religion on

But. Chick fil a is fucking delicious and i'll eat their anyway, even
if they have a self centered self rightous religion. I'm not going
there to worship. I'm going there for healthy delicious goodness.
Grilled chicken is awesome for you, and they have wheat buns.

I don't see how it was throwing it in anyones face, it was during an
interview, it's the MEDIA that's throwing it in everyone's faces. It's
not like he put up signs in his restaurants that said 'I hate gay
people', in fact I do not know one true Christian person (there are a
lot of fakes out there) that actually hates anyone. The media and the
left are trying to spin this into gay bashing, when in fact it's simple
belief.

The bigger issue are these aholes in government who are trying to get
votes by saying 'They can't build in my city' and breaking the first
amendment, and people actually believe them, and agree with
them...that's the really sad part. How well would an ban on gay
bookstores go over if someone were to do that? Like a freakin' lead
balloon.

I would love to see where a city has DENIED a Chick-Fil-A from opening up. A Mayor stating that a business isn't welcome is very different from actually banning them from opening a restaurant.

They stated that they should be, the mayor of new york, chicago, and
california all have stated that they should be banned from opening and
that they would agree with it. Of course most of them have backpedaled
after the obvious stupid ass comments.

Also, are you saying it's ok to just SAY those things, but not really
important until some type of actual action is taken? So then it should
be OK for the owner of Chic-fil-a to say what he wants, he's never said
gay people are not allowed in their restaurants. We have to end this, I
have no money in the game, I'm not gay and I'm not a Christian, but I
can still say a guy has the right to say what he wants without being
ripped to shreds. Government on the other hand, they really need to
stay out of the whole gay/straight/religion issue...it's a real bad move
for them to get involved with that. It's always been a state issue,
states should decide as a separation of government what their citizens
want, and if your gay and your state doesn't allow gay marriage, then
you can move to a state where it does. It's all about liberty...

Link doesn't work. Probably was taken down because it was full of misinformation. Again, None of these mayors are outright banning the franchise from opening in their cities. Prove me wrong. Just more over exaggeration of the facts which doesn't do anything but hide the truth about what was said.

Yes, I am saying it is OK for them to say those things. I also NEVER said it wasn’t OK for the owner of Chick-Fil-A to voice his opinion as well. I did say I wouldn’t eat at Chick-Fil-A, but I don’t even like it to begin with. I also said that marriage should be between 2 people, not just a man and a women. And if you’re telling me marriage is ONLY between a man and a woman and that there is no Christian values causing you to say that you are just lying to yourself and everyone here. So what if 2 guys get married and call it a marriage? Or the state calls it a marriage? Unless you’re religious and it goes against your values, I can’t see why anyone would argue against it.

A gay dollar bill looks exactly like a heterosexual dollar bill. They
spend the same.
If someone showed up to your pinball sale and was offering you cash
for one of your games you were selling, and he was there with another
guy - would you even bother to ask if he was gay and turn him away?
SERIOUSLY? would you? That sure doesn't sound very christian-like if
you said yes. Lead by example and all that...

[Matt Rasmussen]

Here's the problem, you're forcing your belief on me as I should have to
have the same view as you. What im saying is that we are free to
believe what we want and should be able to tell people and not be
ostracized for it. The government needs to get out of the states
jurisdiction.

So lets see what's going on here. A business owner supports
traditional marriage and all of the sudden he is intolerant towards
gays. I say...get over it. You gays don't have control over what 87%
of the rest of the country thinks. He didn't state that he 'hates'
gays, he just supports traditional marriage as the norm as between one
man and one woman. I believe that gays should be thankful there are
'straights' around or there wouldn't be any gays around.

[cody chunn]

"...he's never said gay people are not allowed in their restaurants."

But he did infer that if a tornado or hurricane destroyed his restaurant,
it's because of gay equality. That's the kind of psychotic mindset he has,
like Jerry Falwell.

"...but I can still say a guy has the right to say what he wants without
being
ripped to shreds."

You can say it, but it's not correct. We have the right to say anything we
want, but others have the right to rip us to shreds or choose not to do
business with us based on our comments. That's how free speech works.
Two-way street, double-edged blade, etc.

"Government on the other hand, they really need to stay out of the whole

There are two gigantic holes in this statement. The first is that you seem
to believe that "gevernment" and "state" aren't the same thing. They are
both "government".

The second is that slavery, women's rights and civil rights were "state
issues". The government shoulda butted out, huh?

It's not just supporting an exclusionary marriage contract. That contract

Do YOU believe that gays shouldn't be able to be on their spouse's health
insurance or be able to inherit their estate if they die? That is what
denial of a marriage contract does.

As i side note, it doesn't matter what i think or what you think, only

Leviticus 18:22-30


22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination.

23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith:
neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it
is confusion.

24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these
the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof
upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not
commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor
any stranger that sojourneth among you:

27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which
were before you, and the land is defiled;)

28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued
out the nations that were before you.

29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the
souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one
of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that
ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the Lord your God.

This issue has been completely blown out or proportion. There's a
difference between a city official expressing an opinion and denying
anyone their constitutional rights.

Which by the way, can someone point out which amendment in the bill of
rights guarantees a multi-national corporation the right to start a
business anywhere they choose?

Is this more of this "corporations are people" BS? Chik-Fil-A nor
any other company should be treated like a person. People are people,

with no mandate to be moral in the process.

Christian marriage is okay, if a bit boring. I prefer traditional
marriage between a man and the woman that he rapes, then buys (like a
long-term prostitute!). Deuteronomy 22:28-29.

Did God speak to you directly? Because you later quoted the Bible.
While many believe the Bible to be the "WORD of God", they also fail
to acknowledge that the Bible specifically states that it is "given by
the inspiration of God" and is not, as popularly believed, the literal
words of God. The Bible was put together by assembling chapters
written over centuries. Some made the cut, and some didn't. The
decision was made by men. Later, some were removed, because the people
in charge at the time didn't like what was in there. And, let's not
fail to recognize that every version of Abrahamic-descended religion
(which includes Christianity in all its forms, Judiasm, and Islam) has
a different collection of chapters in their "core" old testiment works
(while most of these chapters are identical, some have additional
chapters they've accepted, the translation/interpretation is
different, and the order of the chapters varies in each "Bible").
Unless you're reading the original 4th century Greek, you're accepting
someone's interpretation of what is in the writings. Even the 4th
century Greek text was synthesized by men, since they wrote down an
oral tradition which had lasted for centuries. And, over time, since
the Bible was originally put down on paper, those interpretations of
the original Greek have changed, based upon scholarship and society at
the time. Even something as simple and fundemental as the 10
commandments is open to interpretation based upon the person who read
the original Greek. While Christians say "Thou shall not steal", the
Jews interpret the same commandment as "You shall not kidnap". So, in
summary, you're accepting as the Word of God a document made by men
which, itself, says is not the Word of God, and has been changed,
amended, had parts deleted, and has been re-interepreted as long as it
has existed. And you wonder why anyone who studies religion scoffs at
the popular understanding of what the Bible is?

Like the majority of people in the US, I believe that you should be
able to follow your own moral compass, unless your actions violate the
right to others to do the same.

Now going to play RFM so I can get a good laugh at Presidental
politics, which will probably be the next OT posting here.

The difference between the current Chik Fil A scenario and a gay bookstore
or islamic temple is hate!
Chik Fil A took a bigoted and hateful stance and the local government said
"No. We don't want hate here"
What if the KKK wanted to open up a store and the town said No? Certainly
that decision would be based on the
same criteria and I don't think the "lawsuit factor" would be the same as
what you're trying to describe.
We are all different and unique...but we are ALL human...we are all brothers

No but the activists are making government officials break the first
amendment by attempting to deny them to build in their city simply based
upon their Christian viewpoint. How do you suppose it would fly if say an
Islamic temple or Gay bookstore were denied the right to open in a city,
there'd be lawsuits...and it'd be in the media in seconds. There's no
coverage of this at all, and why do you suppose this is...because they WANT
obama elected again, and would never broadcast news that would hurt his

You idiots are arguing about FRIED CHICKEN.

now supposed to affirm our cultural and political opinons by voting
via fast food restuarant.

We now have national holidays to celebrate hating gay marriage by
eating at a fast food joint? Awesome.

On Friday, gay marriage lovers are going to go to Chic-Fil-As across
the country and make out. Dudes will be smooching right by the
polenysian sauce containers. Fabulous.

This is all very productive.

God made us in his own image didn't he?? Homosexuality has been
around since the dawn of time with most every species out there. I'm
not a religious person by any means, but it sure sounds like God made
homosexuals for a reason as well.


To me religion is man made. There is no magic, no heaven, no hell. I
do believe a man named Jesus Christ lived long ago and maybe he did
die for our sins, but that is as far as I go with believing in Jesus.

bottom line is no one knows who is right and who is wrong until we die
and we may still never know even after we die.

That's idiotic! Believing that Marriage is between a man and a women has NOTHING to do with hate, NOTHING! Look up the definition!

The CEO of Chick fil A has a belief just like everyone and it has nothing to do with hate. He was asked a question and he told them what he believes. He could have lied, would that have made you feel better?

To be honest, YOU are the problem... those that don't like differing beliefs or opinions. Just like al Qaeda who want to destroy you because your beliefs are different. Your the sad one!

There is no hate involved here in my opinion, it's what a person
believes. It's all about tolereance, something like Target coming out
for gay/lesbian marriage, you didn't see a bunch of Christians gathered
around demanding anything. The gay and lesbian community preaches
tolerence but in real life they are the most intolernt bunch of all.

I am not a Christian, but I do know quite a bit about the philosiphy of
Christianity, and everyone quotes those old bible verses that talk about
touching menstruating women, etc. etc. You do have to realize that,
according to the belief, a new covenant with man was formed...called the
new testament, when Jesus came to earth to live as a human. Those old
testament practacies are no longer valid, it's kind of like a history,
to remember where we came from and what Jesus did for us with God.

I don't necessarily believe it, but you have to understand the entire
concept before you spew downright lies about hate. In my point of view,
men and women were either created, or evolved, to mate specifically with
one another for procreation....so that's where I get my 'belief' that
men and women were meant to be together, not from a bible or religious
doctrine.

That's it, I'm truely down now, this is getting ridiculous.

Nope, sure didn't. And I also know that the Leviticus quote was not
posted by an atheist. I don't know you personally so I can't speak to
what you believe, but I do know that members of your faith like to
pick and choose from the Bible as it suits them. Also, if Jesus

Obviously you still haven't read it...I'm not going through it again. If
you were truly interested, you'd have already done so. Or, you kinda
skimmed it and didn't understand the whole meaning of it.

You're right. I don't understand how the Old Testament is used as a
justification for hating homosexuals if there is supposed to be a new
covenant between God and men - this is a level of hypocrisy that I
simply can't comprehend. Sorry for calling you a Christian when you
said you weren't.

It's not justification, the old testament is a remembrance what Jesus
has done for our relationship with God. If it was eliminated from
Bibles it wouldn't be very honest would it.

I'm ok with you not understanding these concepts, few people do, but
just because you don't believe it, or can't comprehend it, doesn't mean
it's wrong for others to do so.

Thanks for the conversation Dan, I'm just going to chalk this one up to
agreeing to disagree and move on. No use arguing over it, I respect

[vdojaq]

I don't get this whole Chick Fil A fiasco. Look, I do not follow any
form of religion, nor do I care to. This guy simply answered a question
and stated what he believes a marriage is according to what his religion
has taught him. He did not bash, spread hate, nor discriminate. How does
one correlate a specific belief/opinion into prejudice? I'll tell ya,
the no good, liberal, bleeding heart media. The ones spreading the hate
and prejudice are the ones trying to ostracize Chick Fil A. Just because
one chooses to be gay, and someone else doesn't like it, too fucking
bad. Both need to get over it and leave each other alone.

Hey, I don't believe immigrants should be in the the United States
illegally. Does that make me racist and a hater? Well according to the
media is sure does. Why does everyone let the media do our thinking for
us? Fuck that, it is my right not to like it.

As for Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel? He should shut his yap and figure out
how to eliminate the crime and killings in his city and not worry how to
eliminate a fast food chain.

I would think the most important issue still remaining is how does
Popeye's and Chuch's Fried Chicken feel about all of this? :D
