CodysGameRoom | 2,009 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Ugh, so much I missed... so many topics.... I can't really cover it all. I'll just touch on a few things. Boycotting a few places that do shitty things is better than boycotting no places that do shitty things. It doesn't make you a hypocrite. Actions have consequences. If people choose not to go to a local Chik-Fil-A because the owner donated funds to anti lgbtq+ groups that is their choice and there is nothing wrong with it. And also it's a BS argument to say "well you are hurting the innocent employees/store owners" because of a few reasons. First of all, real world, they are not hurting for business. As some have said their lines wrap around the buildings. And B, if it does hurt them, it's their choice to work there. Actions have consequences even if they weren't your actions. Work for an organization with better values. Also, it doesn't really matter if they stopped donating or not. Public perception is a hell of a thing. You have to change that. There is nothing wrong with choosing not to patronize stores that support religious organizations. Also a person's reasons for choosing whether or not to patronize anywhere shouldn't really matter. Freedom of choice and all. Raising Cane's is still the best chicken place. To be fair we don't have Church's, Zaxby's, Lee's, etc here. KFC is bottom tier trash. Popeye's is alright but their spicy chicken sandwich was overrated trash. Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich was 100x better. And Chik-Fil-A is just plain bad. I've tried multiple times. Every time it's soggy and bland. Waffle fries are fine but fries do not make a place. Go ahead and go down to Chik-Fil-A right now for a taste test and tell me what you think. Oh wait, ya can't. It's Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to, I've already had them multiple times this month and enjoyed it just as much every single time I will give you that the sandwiches are indeed very greasy, but a napkin will very quickly fix that (Sometimes I'll even just use the bag itself) and it doesn't really affect the taste or texture that much, at least not for me. I will have to just fully disagree on them being bland though, but hey, to each their own. I know this is the politics thread, but I ain't gonna belittle you for having different tastes than me.

Hammerfestus | 3,921 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I‘m gonna just come clean. I really don’t like breaded chicken very much. I like my chicken grilled. Chicken sandwiches with breaded are too heavy and overpowered by the breading. What we should really be debating is Taco places. Mmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The ownership is religious people. They are influenced by religion (closed on Sunday specifically to facilitate churchgoing.) I don’t have a problem with any of that on its face btw. If that was as far as it went, I would not be unwilling to give them a try. Would it actually happen, who knows. I have a very long list already of fast and casual restaurants to go to for the first or second time, and it’s rare for me to eat food not cooked at home in normal times — not at all during the pandemic. As it stands, I have no reason to patronize bigots, and that is what they have shown themselves to be, unlike another retailer that made a mistake one time and corrected it — quickly, unlike CFA. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a very progressive minded Christian, I find it safer to keep my relationship with Jesus private rather than risk being lumped in and blanketed with the image of some right wing hardliner. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pander to a certain market and it acts as advertisement and creates false scarcity. Im a Christian myself, and I have no problem with businesses being open on Sunday...I mean, the sabbath is Saturday anyway and the commandment in the Bible is to keep the Sabbath holy. Also, Jesus H. Christ himself was against keeping people from eating on the Sabbath. Especially his followers...oops 12 At that time Jesus went through the wheat fields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry so they were picking heads of wheat and eating them.2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look, your disciples are breaking the Sabbath law.” 3 But he said to them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and those with him were hungry? 4 He went into God’s house and broke the law by eating the bread of the presence, which only the priests were allowed to eat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deciding to do or not do something because of one's religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, age, etc is discrimination. When did cops get brought up? You really have been gone a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
