i dont recall a point when i wanted to see the dixie chicks nude

i never was at such a low point in life

but its funny, how patriotic we were back then compared to now. We actually gave a shit about the country enough to roast these bitches. Now the goal is to be as unamerican as possible, hate the country, hate the military, hate the police, hate the church and you become the President of the US

Are you taking troll lessons from aaronburro?

None of that makes any sense, nor is it true.

their cause is officially destroyed.

theyve begun vandalizing restaurants, so who really cares what they have to say anymore?

fuck them.

8/3/2012 3:15:38 PM

Here is the thing, I am straight I don't go out of my way to make out with my wife in person. So having a kiss-in is accomplishing what exactly?

It accomplishes the same thing that was accomplished by buying a chicken sandwich on Wednesday.

8/3/2012 3:38:34 PM

So, are they kissing on CFA property? Are they purchasing a sandwich to sit in the restaurant? Or are they coming in without buying anything, kissing, and leaving?

8/3/2012 3:40:17 PM

Their cause was destroyed when they brought attention to CFA that would not otherwise have been there. People that couldn't give a shit either way are now more likely to eat CFA, just because it's on their mind.

You're not going to win the battle of ideas by guilt tripping people that choose to eat somewhere.

Quote :

"Somebody spray-painted "tastes like hate" on the back wall of a Torrance fast-food restaurant, inflaming locally what has become a nationwide controversy over gay marriage. The graffiti was discovered hours before a same-sex kiss-in protest was set to begin at Chick-fil-A restaurants. Employees at the Hawthorne Boulevard eatery near 182nd Street discovered the vandalism on the restaurant's east wall when they arrived for work this morning."

And guy badgering employee:


People acting like morons don't add anything for fight for equality... all thet do is detract from it.

see my kinfolk new better than to vandalise shit in their fight for equality. and if some one did act out the village checked him

so not only to you take up business grounds not buying anything, but you directly cost them money? this is why no one takes you the fuck seriously

leave that stuff on the message boards, dont be like that. Luckily most people are civil, but you know with all the stink you caused youre going to be under a microscope and you need to be extra squeaky clean

unfortunately those are the kinda people you can never have a meaningful discussion with that would advance any cause.

That act prohibits a public accommodation from making protected classes feel “unwelcome, objectionable or unacceptable.” Jacob Meister, Governing Board President of TCR, stated “In our current high speed media and social media environment, Chick-fil-A has announced and caused to be published, to hundreds of millions of people, that LGBT people are unacceptable and objectionable.

Is sexual orientation a protected class under Illinois law?

Also,

The statute they reference is 5-102(b) which has:

Quote :

"(B) Written Communications. Directly or indirectly, as the operator of a place of public accommodation, publish, circulate, display or mail any written communication, except a private communication sent in response to a specific inquiry, which the operator knows is to the effect that any of the facilities of the place of public accommodation will be denied to any person or that any person is unwelcome, objectionable or unacceptable because of unlawful discrimination;"

Quote :

"(b) With respect to a place of public accommodation defined in paragraph (11) of Section 5-101, the exercise of free speech, free expression, free exercise of religion or expression of religiously based views by any individual or group of individuals that is protected under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or under Section 3 of Article I, or Section 4 of Article I, of the Illinois Constitution, shall not be a civil rights violation. "

If they're going to quote the law, quote the whole law.

I haven't been following this Chic-fil-a thing much. How did it end up here? Seems pretty silly, but on the other hand I have a hard time imaging many franchise owners enjoying all these distractions that this controversy has led to.

8/4/2012 12:22:03 PM

seems participation in the big gay kiss off was a bit off.

i cant wait to see what new travesty the great american protester has in store for us next!

OWS currently has the record for holding their attention the longest.

chick-fil-a lasted 1 week? 2 maybe (stretching it)?

pathetic. truly pathetic.

not the causes, mind you, but the participants. they should take a cue from their hippie parents and not stop until they get kent state'd.

then we will see some change! not just a kony photobomb on fb.
