Why is civil rights just based on what's enshrined into law? Based on your logic, the civil rights struggle in the '50s and '60s in the South wasn't really a civil rights issue because blacks didn't have certain rights guaranteed by law.

It's a legit question that you don't want to answer because, A. you don't have an answer, or B. it blows your argument out of the water.

And one of the quickest ways to get African-Americans mad is to compare their struggle in the 50s and 60s to gay rights. There have never been separate water fountains or restaurant counters or bathrooms or schools for gays.

Absolutely 100 percent agree. But I don't thik our confused friend will. He's still reading something in this news item that makes him think this is about blacks. Maybe he thinks LBJ is still president. If blacks are in it, and LBJ is still president, please, please alert me.

good god, could you people act any more dense? it has nothing to do with black people. it has to do with civil rights. the point i was making was that there wasn't any law on the books before the 1960s, which was spurred on directly by dog's post.

good god, you people play stupid rather well. maybe it isn't an act.

Yes, everyone's stupid except for you. We bow and thank the Lord you're here to set straight those of us who have the audacity to disagree with you.

Why don't you run for something if you have all the answers and the knowledge.

i guess everyone got it but you and dog. seemed pretty fucking simple, champ. honestly didn't seem as though i needed to comment again myself, until you decided to chime in. i honestly thought you were playing stupid
Click to expand...

That's an interesting take on people who won't agree with you. Must make you all comfy and cozy in your bizarre intellectual world so you don't actually have to argue an issue on its merits. It is pretty fucking simple to have this chain of thought: "I believe this ... you believe that .... you're stupid, nanny, nanny boo-boo."

Easy. And intellectually dishonest.

it's intellectually dishonest that i think you are playing stupid because i refuse to believe that you don't understand that a good portion of this country thinks gay marriage is a civil issue? i could give two shits, tiger. call it what you want.

And this guy is just flat insulting and offers nothing, including a pretty solid failure at answering questions. Tom, how many threads have you shut down with your personal crap? Kinda the poster boy for what the moderators say gives them headaches, no?

And once again, you've dodged my question, FWIW.

and you continue to grasp to the ignorant schtick rather well. did i say the CFA issue was a black issue? i suggested that it was a civil rights issue then you focused on black and white.

And the last resort to losing an argument: "I don't care."
You saying I "play stupid" doesn't make it true. I merely consider the source.

I think that this whole dust-up was created by Chick-fil-A folks to draw attention away from some of their own fairly touchy gender issues.

For years, they've been using cows as their spokes animals, completely ignoring the fact that most of the beef in hamburgers doesn't come from cows at all. The overwhelming majority of beef served in the United States comes from emasculated male cattle. They would be bulls by choice, but that choice (along with a few choice bits) was taken away.

But, folks have more sympathy for the cuter mommy cows. "Oh, let's eat a chicken sandwich and save them!" The few cows that do wind up in hamburger are the over-the-hill stock from dairy or breeding herds, not the bucolic Holsteins that hold Chick-fil-A's advertising banners.

I guess that they figured that a castrated male bovine holding an "Eat Mor Chiken!" sign just wouldn't have the same effect.

I've always thought Chick-fil-A was misogynistc.

By putting cows in the ads and having them misspell simple words like "more" and "chicken," Chick-fil-A's implication is clear: Females are not smart.

And I said that ultimately it's talking about gays (and more specifically, the hot issue being marriage rights). From that understanding, it can't be a civil rights issue except in the states that have approved it. Throwing the "civil rights" issue brings all forms of illegal discrimination in to the mix. Blacks would be among those. But the issue with CFA is not about them.
Click to expand...

This post needs to be singled out for its stupidity. Nothing can be a civil rights matter if it doesn't already exist as a law? Did you really mean to say that? And before you say I'm twisting or misunderstanding, that is what you said here.
