Oh that guy, I heard he got fired for doing that. Yes, he is pretty much an ass.

Now if he was bullying CFA's CEO, that I think would be different.
Random person working a minimum wage job at CFA isn't responsible for the company's douchebaggery.
Course then he'd be sued off his ass, but I'm okay with that.

As someone that used to work in customer service, I can say that I am happy that tool was fired for his foolishness. I've always had little to no tolerance for people that things entry-level employees can be used as punching bags for the mistakes made at the highest levels of a company, and even less tolerance for people who counter that claim by thinking the entry-level emploiyee can just quit (as it implies that someone would work a terrible job for any reason other than absolutely needing to).

People who do this, I don't get it. These front line people don't control the message. It's like protestors at abortion clinics...You're just taking your message to the wrong place.

A couple of months ago, my wife brought me some CFA at work. One of my friends, who also is a coworker and is transgendered, asked me how I could support them because, well now we all know why, but the Uganda thing mainly. Anyway I wasn't aware of this previously so I asked my wife to stop buying it for us, and since we have many LGBT friends we did.
But god, you know how hate tastes? Delicious*. It tastes so good. It's one thing to decide I won't buy X when I barely even like or use X or don't live near any X. But man, I loved CFA and it's right by where I live. The stawberry shakes. The waffle fries. The delicious juicy chicken, basted in intolerance until it's irresistible. Every day since this whole fiasco started I crave CFA so badly.

I make my own waffle fries, is that bad? They also taste like delicious hate. But it's non-specific hate.

People blame who they see representing a group they dislike.
They wont meet the ceo, but they will meet plenty of the checkout people. It's not fair, but it just happens.

If CFA tastes like hate I may have to try some. I want to know if the whole Sith thing is really where the party is at.
People hate each other on this forum? That seems like a waste of effort when you could easily be hating the person in the room next to you. Or everyone, actually. As long as you include yourself, for *equality*.

The guy was an executive at a financial dept of a tech company...well he use to be but he got fired for this. His parting remarks was "at least I did something good today" The young lady already stated she was not sueing the chucklehead

Now that I think about it, I don't hate anyone on this forum.
I'm going to pick you to hate, just to see what if feels like. We are now in hate mode.
Carry on.

I have mixed feelings about Will Ferrell. I often find him totally unfunny. But sometimes... sometimes he nails it. Like Anchorman, nothing I don't love about that movie.

Stranger than Fiction was good too. Like, really good.
Still doesn't change the fact that Will Ferrell is a, uh, well, not funny guy. That's really the thing: I tried to come up with a funny name to call him, but all the humor was drained from me.
Also, Jim Carrey got amazing when he went serious. Eternal Sunshine bummed me out for about a week straight. The only movie that's ever affected me emotionally more than that was Requiem for a Dream.
Well, I'm not entirely sure why Relapse posted this in the other thread, and then posted it again as it's own thread, so I'll just repaste my answer from there to this thread;
"Sure. I mean, I'm not saying anti-gay people, or Christians have a monopoly on being stupid donkey-caves. We all know that isn't true.
My point is just that it seems to me a bad move for a whole lot of reasons to have people associating 'hates gays' and christian in their mind.
Wouldn't it be healthier for the religion in the long term to focus on things that are actually good for people?"
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

How many of the CFA protesters are boycotting buying gasoline?
Most of it comes from KSA who behead anyone found being LGBT.
