@kpdad:
Uhhhhhh, I think you are missing something. This isnt about a citizen boycotting a product. It's about government officials using laws to prevent businesses from opening because they dont agree with the CEO's personal views. If you can't see the difference, you opinion is too misinformed to be taken seriously.

@kpdad: what, pray tell, are you talking about? Most of your posts are unintelligible because of you inane attempts at being super-intelligent, and this one is no different.
 
Mayor Menin clearly stated that he was "going to do everything in his power" to stop CFA from operating in Boston. It was only when he realized that he could do nothing, that he changed his tune. articles.boston.com/ 2012-07-27/metro/328 69124_1_political-sc ience-gay-marri
 
You do understand that is exactly what they are threatening to do. As a matter of fact, the only reason they are not doing it is because after suggesting it, public outcry went against them. More importantly, it is unAmerican for an elected official to suggest that the thought police are are ready to pounce.[quote-end-tag-mismatch]
 
@SeeVee: Good save to mask your error!

@SeeVee: So long story short, you're arguing that it is un-American to do what nobody actually did.  Got it. You shouldn't take things so personally.  I used to be quite hot-headed when I was younger too, but honestly it's not worth getting worked up over, um, a message board forum where almost nobody uses their real name. And again, good save.

I'm not a bible verse guy, but we were discussing Romans 12:2 several weeks back. I keep thinking about it and hope the CFA CEO looks at it for strength. Also useful for those that are willing to sell out their eternity for society's sins today.  4951

@kpdad: You're going through a lot of effort to maintain a superior stance in this. I doubt you are less hot-headed then you claim - maybe just a little more restrained. The mayor was initially going to use his legally given powers to restrict Chik-Fil-A from opening a store. Once this was exposed to be a decision in direct conflict with the 1st Amendment Right he changed his tune. Howeve, the Mayor is still doing whatever he can to stop Chik-Fil-A from opening in the city which is discrimination simply because he doesn't agree with the CEO's beliefs. What is un-American about all this is the absurd media coverage of this. This nation has always been taught the idealism of free speech and the freedoms of practicing such.  Law defines the powers of the government - SeeVee was right on key. She had no reason to rephrase it so you could better understand. You should be familar with the law a little more before debating something regarding that.

>> Seriously does it matter?
 
@angeldanleyguerrero: It does when Government gets involved in stepping on�ghts of private businesses based on an opinion a CEO has.
 
@Burnsway:
I grew up with a Mom who took excellant care of us and she is a lesbian I learned along time ago that people will always have something to say about homosexuals interracial marriages and stereotype people based on their income. To me it doesn't matter because people can't accept that everyone isn't the same.
 
@angeldanleyguerrero: But thats not the problem we are having...I buy from Starbucks, McDonalds, Homedepot all of which are for gay rights. The problem most of us have is that Government "tried" to step in and say if he didn't change his policy(which he has no policy against gays, so not sure what policy he was to change) he would be banned from Boston. So basically a Government official was telling a Private owned company that if the CEO didn't DENY GODS WAY IN PUBLIC and his belief in the Bible he could no longer do business.....sorry but NO WAY IN HELL IM GONNA SAY THATS OK!
 
@Burnsway:
P.s we are also Christians and to further emphasize in my statement people no matter their opinion want to be heard and therefore society will continue on the merrigoround we call life. This CEO has a opinion the government has an opinion and the gay folks have theirs... so who is to say who is right? I know I will be judged for my sins and so will everyone else. Honestly no one has the power over me except my God so all the political views and this gimmick to get people to eat their product is actually quite humorous to me that so many folks are falling for it.

@Burnsway: This CEO has a opinion the government has an opinion and the gay folks have theirs... so who is to say who is right?.
 
@angeldanleyguerrero: This is not a debate over whether being gay is right or not. This is a debate over Government going too far in removing our rights.Local Government was about to take action on an opinion against a Private owned company which is against the law, discrimination AND unconstitutional. The Mayor should have never weighed in or at the very least say this is just my opinion but instead he said He would do everything in his power to remove the company. You may be able to sit back and think no biggie he has that right but NO HE DOES NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT and if we allow it, sit back and do nothing soon Christians may be told no loans, no mortgage no credit and possibly no kids and who else knows what. Sorry this local Government took it too far even if he was not successful, we the people need to stand up and let it be known we will not allow such un American attempts to destroy our freedom!

@Jumnious: Sigh.  This is bordering on comic!For the last time, nothing "un-American" was going to happen because mayors do not have the "legally given powers" to withhold land sales or licensing to an outside franchise-based company.  Familiarity with the law is important, so please point out to me
where, in the Boston city code or Massachusetts register, the power originates.  Your assumption is that something awful was going to happen until public outcry erupted; but nothing was ever going to happen.  The letter was a political ploy designed to elicit a purely emotional response among hotheads.  And it worked.

I have witnessed local governments use regulation and worked up citizens and special interest groups to block "politically incorrect" businesses from building. Many cities in blue states do whatever they can to block super Wal-MArts. They use the lame excuse of traffic (Even though Walmart expands roads on their dime). meanwhile they will rubber stamp and give tax breaks to IKEA, Whole Foods, and Super Target. 4951

@kpdad:   Sorry but it was a free ploy and a silly one at that.  Obviously you cant discount it simply because it had its run and would you disagree?  Probably brilliant politics if you are open to the thought. 4951
