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 should not be eaten.

Cows or ..., never mind.

I come to SJ expecting members here to have common sense and/or critical-thinking skills. I believe you own those skills and are intentionally playing ignorant. I refuse to play along with intentional dummy posts.

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.
Click to expand...

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.
Click to expand...

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.
Click to expand...

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.
Click to expand...

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.
Click to expand...

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.
Click to expand...

good enough then, champ.
this is what it's come down to: you either are playing stupid, or you believe a portion of the nation does not believe it's a civil rights issue.
which is it?
Click to expand...

A large part of the nation does not believe it's a civil rights issues. Start with any black church congregation.

Mods must have some of those cards for free chicken sandwiches. Amazing Chick-Fil-A has made as much money as it has because they throw those things around like confetti. If you've paid for half of the chicken sandwiches you've eaten at CFA, you're not trying hard enough to get the free card.

Where you're moving, there won't be a CFA within 95847474 miles, so you should be OK on that front. I lived in that area for 2 years and couldn't have been more angry about that.

Also, the mods shouldn't waste their time on the cookies and cream shake. At least when the banana pudding shake is available. So money.

A large part of the nation is wrong, and your race-baiting doesn't change that.

No banana pudding shake right now. Peach is the seasonal flavor.

Can somebody, anybody, after 17+ pages of arguing, explain how an individual- heterosexual or homosexual- has a "right" to a marriage license from the state?

Let's just say that I am as dense as you think I am. Fine.
I am not asking the question rhetorically. I genuinely would like to know
what case can be made that one has a right to a marriage license.

Near as I can tell, one cannot in this country be discriminated against on
the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin,or disability.
Please explain under which one of these areas "sexual orientation" fits and why.
If it doesn't fit under one of these existing categories, please explain your
rationale for adding "sexual orientation" to the list.

I am genuinely curious what you think.
