[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hear you.  I refuse to give Chik-fil-a (sp ?) my business anymore because the owners/management are [b]religious, homophobic[/b], discriminatory shitheads.[/quote]

So PP, do you not eat out anymore?  Anywhere?

I don't see how you can find many good restaurants to eat at in this city if your line in the sand is that the owners or management cannot be religious and supportive of traditional marriage.

It rules out all the middle eastern restaurants, or businesses owned or run by those who practice Islam.  Darn.  That is some good food.  But we can't eat or patronize businesses that just might have religious owners or managers.

Most Christian owned businesses too.  Even secularly owned businesses, because you never know if that company might have accidentally hired a practicing Baptist or a Morman.

How do Hindus feel about gay marriage?  Ooops, 50/50% chance you can't eat at any Indian restaurants.  Damn!

Buddhists?  Got to cut our some of those businesses too.

Well, let's patronize the Jewish establishments.  Wait, no, not the ones owned by Orthodox Jews.  Well, crap.[/quote]

Nothing like a good Jewish deli. OP won't patronize one though. What is the word for that again? Oh yeah... anti-semite.[/quote]

Oh fuck you. Seriously. You're being a dramatic, lying cunt. Did you actually click the article and see that they posted examples of controversial religious ideologies, not just blanket lists?[/quote]

Controversial religious ideologies? Christian? Mormon? Huh?

You posted a list of companies that were religious. Your motivation in posting said list was to encourage people to boycott these companies, was it not? You said nothing about how they've taken stands that alienate or offend large customer swaths of customers -- the most egregious examples in some of them were to publish a Bible verse somewhere (Forever 21, Alaska Airlines). How's that "controversial religious ideology?"

So, by your logic, a self-identified Jewish deli is to be avoided. Which makes you an anti-semite. I don't understand what it was about having your post put to you in those terms that finally jarred you into just how horrible it was for you to start this thread in the first place, but it is true and it logically follows.

And to the pp, I have no idea who "Katherine" is -- my name is Roger.[/quote]
