    people vote with their dollar.

    i have not bought a dominos pizza in 6 years because i do not like the ideology of their executives, just as i will not eat chick fil a because of their ideology.

    they are not going to lose any business because there are going to be enough people who will make up for the money they are not getting from me....

    such as this one and her army of followers....

    sometimes i wonder if she actually likes the food and supports that business or if she is just trying to make a statement because she has been marginalized....

    besides, it is not about money.

    this is not an issue or debate about lost business and lost profits.

    it it were, they would be open on sunday like everyone else....

    how many of these stores are owned by franchisees?
    How many of these franchisees are in lock step with the founder in ideoogy?

    Its those folks that will bear the brunt of this.

    Also, as it relates to this slightly overblown story , can someone show me in the bible where it defines "marriage"? Like New testament definition? Cuz as far as I know a christian should be acting in a christlike manner.I understand his death to be the replacement for the "teachings" in the old testament.

    I totally agree with voting with dollars- yet another reason I rarely eat at most fast food places.

    Chipotle Grill is an exception. They support local and (quite often) organic farming. Oh- and you probably won't so photo ops of Wonder Woman (I wonder what she'll do next for publicity :lol: ) there.

    of course you can.

    as far as i am concerned they can open up wherever they want, and the market will determine their success.

    if you want your chicken served up with a side of hatred be my guest. i will spend my money elsewhere.


    that said, if a business publicly enters the foray and favors the side of discrimination they will do so at their own risk.

    Homosexuals can still eat at Chick-fil-A, and work there too, as far as I know. If not, they wouldn't be in business. They will lose business from those that actually care. There are no Chick-fil-A's here, but, you can be damn sure I won't ever be purchasing from them.

    i am not sure what you are asking, because gibson's forestry tradeoffs and the application of the lacey act are completely different from a company taking a stand against the legal union of people based solely on gender.

    i am doing this from memory, but a few years ago gibson got in trouble for not processing ebony that they harvested in india. they harvested it and processed it outside of india, which violates the lacey act. as a result, gibson has begun to use a heat treated wood instead of the indian ebony they used to use, which some argue is more energy intensive.

    back in the 90s they started renewing forests and made a line of guitars from those forests called "smartwood" guitars, which i think they stopped making for some reason.

    gibson has not come out publicly on the gay marriage issue to my knowledge.

    :roll: Oh I see... LOL

    Dude the CEO of chic fil-A gave his opinion on gay Marrige in a church of all places. It's not like he decided not to serve or not employ gays or gay couples. Sheez :fp:

    no, their business has been run the same way for years. their stance, if truely in line with church teaching, is a given. and they have given money to causes that are anti gay marriage. they can vote with their money the same as all the rest of us can...

    Good point and, again, I totally agree. I never vote for hate with my money.

    i'll give these folks credit ... they believe strongly in something and they are prepared to sacrifice business for it ...

    i am gonna guess they will neither gain any more business nor lose too much business because of this ...

    So Im just wondering are all of you that plan on not eating at Chic Fil-A going to stop buying gas for your cars ? That is if you drive because afterall those countries like Saudi,Iran,kuwait, iraq that own or belong OPEC dont believe in Gay Marrige either .

    Gays are put to death in those countries.

    Well, I’ve never eaten at a Chick-fil-a outlet but I think I’ll stop by one this weekend for the sheer joy of spending my money at a place under attack by the Gay Bully Boys.

    As a lesbian woman, I support a business’ right to prosper without having to pass the ever-expanding progressive litmus test of pseudo-political righteousness.
