Let's keep the panda talk and religious arguments contained and keep this on-topic maybe?

Hell no they don't. There's FAR better chicken joints around here.

Meh, its all a matter of opinion

Not when many of them focus around trying to force people to worship one specific god.

Good point. They do have some valid points (Don't Steal, Kill, Cheat on your Wife), but a lot of it still is "Praise be to Yahweh!"

Perhaps I just got sick of them, or perhaps my tastes have changed. We had them at Louisiana Tech (on-campus) when I was in college. They were neat at first, but then I started eating there quite a bit.

Now, I can't stand them. It's the smell of pickle and chicken, I think. Also, I grill my own chicken now for salad and sandwiches now, and I prefer the different poultry rubs I use.

Anyhow, back on topic.

Do any of the cities that are Banning Chick-Fil-A have laws allowing same-sex marriage? MA does, but does Illinois?

During a visit to America, Winston Churchill was invited to a buffet luncheon at which cold fried chicken was served.

Returning for a second helping, he asked politely, "May I have some breast?"

"Mr. Churchill," replied the hostess, "in this country we ask for white meat or dark meat." Churchill apologized profusely.

The following morning, the lady received a magnificent orchid from her guest of honor. The accompanying card read: "I would be most obliged if you would pin this on your white meat."

I'm waiting for the inevitable backlash when cities with more right-leaning tendencies start attempting the same thing against companies with openly "liberal" policies.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll take Oreo (nabisco (kraft)) to town. Sure seems inevitable.

Because there's no smaller companies than that that would fit that description?

You can do better than that.

Not ones that are getting media attention. Come on rainy, you know the world doesn't care unless fox or MSN throw a fit. Or is this one of those faux idealistic viewpoints that you toss out from time to time that doesn't quite mesh with reality but makes for a good snippet?

Melissia wrote:Hell no they don't. There's FAR better chicken joints around here.

Yeah, but you live South of the Mason-Dixon. Chicken is born fried down there, or so the elders say.

Who knows? Who cares? The point is, you go down this road and there is no limit (which many might like). Only the politicians' favored companies get the nod.
And you guys complain about Halliburton...

Shuma: So true...

Ain't no outrage like manufactured outrage.

You know they might break an olympic high jump record at the olympics this year. But what if it doesn't stop there? What if our children see it and start jumping? What if they keep breaking records? You know falls from too high a height are fatal! There is no limit down this road (which many might like) frazzled, we have to stop the high jump before we all kill ourselves.

I am not seeing why anyone thinking businesses starting purely at the discretion of local politicians is in any way a good thing.

Thanks to Boston, I was reminded that there's a Chic-fil-a on my way home from work, and just decided I'm craving it again.

CHik Fil A sandwich are dangerous.....that craving just comes out of nowhere and bam.....your at a drive through.

Popeyes is better.

Popeyes is better

I go there for me fried chicken I go to KFC for the honey BBQ wings when the mood hits.


edit
typo's

KFC is the bee's knees.

Popeyes has excellent red beans and rice when you're too pressed for time to make your own. I haven't had it in ages, though. I'm assuming it's still good...

Popeyes has excellent Red Beans and Rice

Can't believe I forgot those

I can't have KFC, I love it, but if I have it I'll be on my golden throne all night long. Popeyes is ok for fried chicken, but I'm lucky enough to have a semi local family owned place doing awesome fried chicken so I just go there when I need it.

If its religion based. No. The only religion that would fit me and accept me is greek/roman Gods. Because if I hold to trapping of todays religion I'm on a express frieght elevator to Hell because I broke every rule.

Erm... 10 Commandments. Those are pretty insightful and worthwhile.

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Sounds like a violation of anti-trust laws.

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. More anti-trust violations.

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. First Amendment violation.

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. In Canada we have laws against mandatory business closures on Sundays. I assume the USA does too.

5. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Yeah, okay, I guess. Half marks for effort.

6. Thou shalt not kill. Good idea. Got to #6 before anything really useful poppped up.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Good idea. hey! Two in a row!

8. Thou shalt not steal. A three-peat of good ideas! We're on a roll!

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Another good idea.

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. Sounds like socialism to me.

So what is that? 4.5 out of 10? Nice to see that you view a failing grade as "insightful and worthwhile".

You're using a straw man, Frazzled.
It's not purely the discretion of local politicians; it's at the discretion of a viewpoint* that is so obviously morally right under any system of ethics except for Kantian, and even with Kantian ethics it's a grey area. It is at the discretion of people who are in the right, being represented by a mayor who is accurately representing those people, by banning a company whose views are harmful to the greater good of society.

*those with discriminatory viewpoint can discriminate themselves out of the rest of an otherwise accepting society.

Hey now. That was some pretty progressive social policy circa 1000 BCE

Horse gak. FOllowing this train means its at the discretion of the local "easily malleable" politician. The entire nation, not just NY/NJ will need "facilitators" to get a steenking local store put into place.

It's at times like this that frazzled should call the ACLU, except he can't since he was told to disown them by fox.
