Good lord Grain. Even when you have a valid point you make it like a moron. What about the Mosque in Tennessee that has been persecuted by local bigots who've refused to issue them building permits based on bigotry towards Muslims? Hmmmm? Talk about being a hypocrit. Walk the talk pal.
Agreed. I can certainly understand their anger at his comments but as long as he is not actively discriminating against gays (i.e. not serving them at his business) then his comments are protected free speech.
Yea well good thing it's a privately held company cause he'd have a hell of a time explaining that to share holders of a publicly owned company. The dumbass has lost a lot more customers then he's gained by his stupid comments.
Good for you. After his stupid assed comments he'll need the business!
You've obviosly have never been to Alabama. It's a beautiful state and you need to take a dirve down St. Rt. 65.
ROTFLMA!! Hey Mr. GED....You are aware that Yurt is a licensd Atty aren't you? LOL
I'm reasonably sure they do a lot of business in urban areas where those kind of comments would alienate more people by far. It would be interesting to track them if they were a public company to see what the financial impact of his comments would be though that would probably be a moot point as I'm reasonably sure the board of directors of a publically owned company would fire his ass. Again, on the whole and across the board I'll stand by my statement, I bet the corporation loses more business then they gain by his comments and that's why I think it's stupd and I'd say the same thing if he came out publicly in support of gay marriage.
Well that's his responsibility as the CEO of a company. He has to look out for share holder interest whether it be a public company or private. I'm reasonably sure that even as a privately owned company Chik-Fil-A is in damage control mode and the board of directors have probably instructed the CEO (who are more accountable to a BOD in a privately held company) to shut the hell up about divisive political issues. To me the point is not about his expressing his political views but about hurting the business he has a financial obligation for. If I was a share holder I'd be pissed.
Jesus never told us to embrace sin. If gay marriage ever makes its way into the law books, the onus will be on good Christians, everywhere, to get it overturned.
Hey, Mr. STD. Unless Yurt is a constitutional lawyer, he probably knows about as much as anyone else.
If it becomes legal, I will have no problem with it. I am not embracing the sin, I am celebrating the union. The sin will continue regardless of the whether marriage is part of it or not.
So many in the religious right make it sound as though gays will stop being gay or having sex unless they get married. In essence, there are two sins committed today by gays. That of homosexuality and that of sex outside of marriage. At least this would cut the sinning in half.
Of course you won't; you're a liberal.
You're celebrating the sin.
So let's shepherd marriage into it anyways, since Satan is too powerful to resist, right?
That's what the Left would like people to think we are doing. The truth is, we want to uphold both the temporal law, and the spiritual law. You want to break both laws, because you are liberal.
No, it wouldn't. Gay marriage is not supported in the Bible, either.In essence, there are two sins committed today by gays. That of homosexuality and that of sex outside of marriage. At least this would cut the sinning in half.
