KFC does have the better Biscuit, Popeye's the better fry, but Chik-Fil-A has the superior tender

Yep pretty much broke all the commandments. If God forgives all then why do I get the feeling I'm a contestant standing before the Man who decides thumbs up or down?

I predict his next reelection is going to be really tight

Their biscuits are addictive.

KFC ones? With gravy. You betcha.

Popeyes, dipped in their Cajun sauce.

KFC and Popeye biscuits are a tough decision. I like them both.....

No. You can only like one.

Choose carefully.

Is there a white rabbit involve in this decision?

white rabbit obj.?

OMG The raptor fence is down!

Jihadin wrote:Is there a white rabbit involve in this decision?

No, just your biscuit affiliation, which is on par with your political, religious, and sports team affiliation.

I defend my problem to choose both!

Exalted

Besides I could careless about the CEO comment.

I still don't like their chicken.

Actually here's the clutch of the situation. What type of hot sauce goes good with which..

currently for me Louisana for KFC and Tabasico for Popeye

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.

ACLU is supporting Chick Fil A actually.

And don't you just despise Chick'n'fill for it?

This thread title is inaccurate. In 2010 Chic-Fil-A donated $2 million to anti gay groups. It's not just the CEO's opinion. By eating at Chic-Fil-A, you're giving money to groups that oppose gay marriage. So umm, if you like gay marriage and such don't go there.

That's pretty fethed up.

Why? Its called free speech.

Frazzled wrote:Why? Its called free speech.

Freedom isn't moralistically good, it's case by case. A fast food chain giving millions to anti gay causes is fethed up by the perspective of people who think its fethed up. It's their "free speech" to think so. Stop shouting free speech every two seconds.

Classic right-wing defence btw.

Strawman alert! Wee wooo wee wooo wee wooo!

If a person said, "WE SHOULD KILL THE JEWS AND ENSLAVE THE BLACKS" and then Testify said, "That's fethed up" would you still say "Why? Its called free speech" because it's just as applicable?

If a person has the right to be a jackass, that doesn't mean they aren't a jackass when they exercise that right.

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

Mmm, Cousin's BBQ.

Yes it is, but when you use a political office to discriminate against a businessman who disagrees with you, and interfere with his right to run a legitimate business, that's beyond messed up.

They actually opened a Chik-Fil-A in Hollywood last year... ate it a couple times. It's mediocre. Really, if I want good fried chicken, ten times out of ten I'm going to pick Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.

I do find it somewhat amusing and ironic that a corporation with a pretty strong anti-gay stance opened a restaurant in Hollywood. At least it wasn't West Hollywood, but it's pretty damn close.

In fact, a transvestite pop group filmed a music video there that I'm sure the CEO loved. By "loved" I mean he probably had a coronary. I originally embedded it here but it's actually fairly NSFW, so...

So you agree, then, that we shouldn't discriminate against businesses which use slavery and support terrorism?

Might put the food prices down..

I will point to this post when you start arguing strawman nonsense.

Exactly. Its their right to free speech to be a jackass. Its your right to free speech to say they are a jackass.

I'm going to take from that statement that you do agree that businesses that support slavery and terrorism should be discriminated against. Simply on the grounds that they 'disagree with you'. I'm also going to extrapolate from that that you agree that free speech has to have some reasonable limits.

In which case, without trying to be hostile, I'll ask why is it okay for a business to say that people shouldn't be allowed to, in the privacy of their own homes, marry and sleep with whatever human being they want to? Aren't freedoms like that what the United States claims to defend?

Both slavery and terrorism are active attacks on the freedom of the citizens of the United States. Isn't saying who people can and cannot marry and decrying their lifestyle as "wrong" somehow also an attack on the freedom of the citizens of the United States?

I don't know, I don't get why this CEO has to attack other people for living differently than him without hurting anyone. If he would be content to live and let live I'm sure the city of Boston would extend to him the same.

I think the world would be pretty nice if everyone adhered to the idea that you have the personal right to do whatever you want as long as it doesn't interfere with someone else's personal rights.

That's the kind of thinking that justifies murdering planned parenthood doctors and politicians you disagree with. Scary.
