Wendy's has a fried chicken sandwich that is almost identical without those nasty sour pickles. And their waffle fries have a bitter after taste from the grease they're cooked in.
I don't really give a **** what the Bible says. You're barking up the wrong tree attempting to use the bible to define words to this particular poster. Sorry your bigotted stereotype of a Conservative doesn't work.
I care more about the dictionary when it comes to what words mean. Lacking tolerance for something is intolerance.
The only reason you, or others, seem to have an issue with that is because for whatever reason it appears you automatically apply a negative connotation to the word. Such a connotation is not universally inherent within it. There's nothing wrong inherently with being intolerant to things...it's the reasons why one is intolerant, and what they're intolerant of, that begins to define whether that intolerance is a good or bad thing.
I've been in and out of the thread for the last few days, and I haven't noticed any anti-gay remarks here. Those who support ChickFilA aren't gay bashers. It's quite the other way round.
You've interviewed everyone who showed up at a Chick-Fil-A yesterday?

Why not just ask me? I went yesterday. I support SSM and don't bash gays :shrug: It's pure ignorance (and probably hatred) to say those who supported Chick Fil A are gay bashers.
No dictionary in the world says we have to accept evil or a sickness.
The bible is everything in this conversation because that's what the so-called Christian bigots use to justify their intolerance.
Meh, go to Sonic or something else. Chik-Fil-A isn't all that great.

have you tried the polynesian sauce?

Cihik-Fil-A didn't say anything though. This wasn't an official business statement. A dude said it, just a dude. You can claim he hasn't recanted, and that's true, but he wasn't speaking on behalf of the company or for the company or setting company policy. This was his personal opinion.
When asked whether his company had an established position against marriage equality, Cathy said, "guilty as charged."
He added, "We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. ... We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles."

No, he *was* speaking on behalf of the company. He said the following:
Furthermore, his company donates millions to anti-gay organizations. And even if he was speaking on his own and donating money on his own, it would still be a problem. He's the CEO of the company, not some VP of Accounting. He is an ambassador of his brand.

Any advocacy of discrimination is an anti-gay remark. Just like if you support Jim Crow Laws but you manage to do it without blurting out the n-word, you're still a racist.
It's funny that he said "first wives." I guess he isn't a fan of people who get second marriages either. It's like he's looking down at almost all of his customers in some way or another.No, he *was* speaking on behalf of the company. He said the following:

It's not a stretch to say that a lot of those who went out yesterday were doing so specifically to support their anti-SSM stance.Why not just ask me? I went yesterday.

One day, gay people are going to realize that they are their own worst enemy.
Probably not since the nation is moving closer everyday to full accepting them and their sexuality.One day, gay people are going to realize that they are their own worst enemy.

No, CNN is, and they tell you everybody else is, and you believe them.
People by and large don't care what gay people do, but that's not good enough. Gay people need to be on stage in full acknowledgment like divas. They must be in your face with it as much as possible. They want to HEAR you call them married husbands or married wives. "Say it! Say it!"
It's really, really odd. People just roll their eyes and laugh at them.
Actually, Gallup and Pew in addition to the repeal of DADT, several court decisions, the President's stance on SSM and the Democratic Party's decision to make SSM an official part of their platform tell me that the nation is moving closer to acceptance. I guess you could also add to that the younger generations who are less prejudiced in addition to all the gay/bisexual people who've come out to their families and increased direct knowledge of non-heterosexuality as telling me that too. CNN isn't even in there, particularly since I rarely watch it or other cable news.No, CNN is, and they tell you everybody else is, and you believe them.
