CHICKEN SHALL NOT BE NAMED

I had a friend who named their Thanksgiving turkey 'he who shall not be named'. It exploded in the oven. She's still not sure what went wrong...0

Chicken. Goooood chicken.
I don't really care. I prefer a&w teen burgers, no onions, extra pickles.
I totally just read that first line in Milla Jovovich's voice.
OMG I did too lol.....Leelu Multipass0 -
In this case, no one is hurting TPTB by boycotting. They ARE hurting the local franchise owners who are trying to run a successful business and employ locals. What should they do? Close up their livelihood because they don't agree with a certain view held by the person they bought the franchise off of? Not very practical. I don't like collateral damage. Unless you can prove the owners of the franchise subscribe to the same opinions, protest at a corporate headquarters and leave the small business owners alone.0

whats the deal here? I live in canada and we dont have this place...
Same in UK
Chick-Fil-A is a US fast food chain that is extremely popular, partially because they use peanut oil for frying and their food is actually really good. However, they have recently come under fire for their stance on gay marriage. This has caused many to boycott them and a couple of cities have tried to block the construction of new restaurants. That is as much as I dare say in an open post because, as the OP hinted, threads discussing the topic in depth have had a tendency to get locked very quickly. If you want to know more about it, I suggest Google.0 -
And for the record....I LOVE chicken, I dont care if a big gay transsexual hermaphrodite serves it to me, or if a downhome redneck anti-gay gun toting biggot serves it to me.
I am just going to eat the chicken.0 -

for the CEO's stance on gay marriare, not the company. He doesnt speak for everyone that works for him, please get that right.0 -

True, my mistake0 -
That Chick-fil-a place has a real agenda going on. "Eat Mor Chikin" It's pretty obvious where their loyalties lie.... with the cattle.0

Stop bringing the voice of reason into this! You're spoiling all the hating!0 -
The boycott is not because of the CEO's opinions, it is because they have donated over 5 million dollars of company money to fund hate groups and fight legislation that would give basic human rights to all people. When you give them your business you are helping them fund these things. Some people actually want to fund these things, and turned out in large numbers yesterday. Others do not, and are boycotting. I have never eaten there, and now that I know where the money goes, I am glad of that.0

Are you guys sure you're really part of MFP? You are being civil and reasonable, and that doesn't usually happen on the open forum.0 -

So the plan of action is to attack the lively hood of 20000 people who DID not or may not donate money to these groups?
The boycott does not hurt the CEO's pocket book and wont stop it. What it does do is jeopardize the livelihood of 20000 middle class Americans. Should they just be unemployed instead of holding down their current job?
Hey but who cares as long as we make our point! Collateral damage is acceptable as long as its not in my back yard.0 -

Can you help me find out more about the $5m donations? I've seen this claim a few times but I haven't been able to bump into the source. I want to verify it as much as possible before I speak about it. Yesterday someone pointed me to a blog that had details of $1,000 that was given to a Family Research Center. I doubt if that was a large enough donation to do anything but buy some donuts but $5m could be substantial.
Is this it? It talks about the $5m given to fund displaced children and economically disadvantaged youth with scholarships, along with funding the College Football Hall of Fame.

The owner of the company believes in the "traditional" sense of marriage and family. He stated that out loud, so now he has been branded a homophobe. I may not believe in his position, but I do believe in his right to free speech and have his own opinion. Even if it is unpopular. That is what makes America great.hello, why is there a boycott?0 -

I looked at their financial associations, then went to those individual websites to see what they're about.0 -
:frown: I thought you were going to talk about naming the chickens you raise for food...we have ten chickens and we've named four of them. There's: Fluffybutt, Red, Gumbo and Whitey (who is actually blonde). :laugh:0

My thoughts exactly.
Chick-fil-A has never hidden the fact that they are a Baptist owned company. It's a given that Baptists are likely to subscribe to certain beliefs.
I am an Atheist. I believe everyone should have the right to marry whomever they love. I have eaten and will continue to eat at Chick-fil-A once the drama blows over.0 -

You should just name them
Stroganoff
Stir-Fry
Florantine
Parmesan
Roasted with olives garlic andtyme
Curry
Just name them after dishes. So you can be "Well that right there is Chicken Florantine, that one is Chicken Parmesan"
haha0 -
My husband had a buddy who lived on a farm when they grew up-oh wait, that sounds like a bad start to a story. Let me try again.
My husband's best friend raised bunnies growing up. They had one named Pete the Stud. Hubby was heartbroken the night they ate Pete the Stud for dinner. hehe Yeah, he's not a chicken but oh well.0 -
I disagree with you <> I hate you ... it may mean that for some, not me.
In 3 months this ADD country will be on to the next big drama ... no worries ...0 -
And for the record....I LOVE chicken, I dont care if a big gay transsexual hermaphrodite serves it to me, or if a downhome redneck anti-gay gun toting biggot serves it to me.
I am just going to eat the chicken.
^^ THIS
And BTW the restarunt was started by a christina family, is closed on sunday b/c of their strong beliefs and advertises their christian cherity info. on their walls. Why are people suprised they are aginst gay marriage?
Eat the chicken or don't eat it and move on0 -

Also, if you are familiar with reddit.com, a Chik-Fil-A manager gave an interview on the site, and said that franchises are only given to people with the same beliefs as the CEO. Of course, he says that if you want a franchise, and you don't share his beliefs, you just do your homework and pretend that you do. So the franchise owners knew exactly what they were getting into.
Of course, he goes on to say not to worry about them, because there are so many people in this country that agree with him, that nobody will suffer financially (as yesterday proves). Sadly, there are so few Americans who believe in human rights for all people, that our numbers are not great enough to do any damage.0 -

First - I am Pro-Gay Marriage
Second- You expect people to respect your groups beliefs, without respecting the fact that they have the right to their beliefs?
If this guy donating 1 billion to women's rights, but donated to anti-gay marriage groups, you think he doesn't respect human rights? Or your mad he just doesn't respect the "human rights" we believe should be legal, but his religious faith make him think otherwise?0 -

This, except I identify more with Agnostic0 -
My hubby made a very valid point regarding this last night and just to make sure I had all my duckies in a row before I said anything, I did a little research.
Just so you know 29.5% of U.S. petroleum comes from Muslim countries.
According to the Muslim religion Homosexuality is the worst of any sin that can be commited. Believe it or not they actually refer to the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah in the Koran.
They penalty for the act of homosexuality is execution according to Islam law.
So here"s my suggestion....quit eating fried chicken, sell your car so as not to support Arabic countries, and buy a bike!
But wait!!!!!! Make sure that bike was not manufactured in ANY country that may have Muslim ties or you will be supporting hate by buying the bike....awe to heck with it don't buy a bike....just walk.:grumble: :grumble: :grumble:0 -
