Hopefully this breaks the spell Chic-fil-a has over people and they realize that the food is boring as shite.

Not being open on Sundays is a value statement.

Not serving beef is a value statement.

Paying above minimum wage and having an accessible financing mechanism for employees to become franchise owners is a value statement.

Training your employees to say "my pleasure" instead of "you're welcome" is a value statement.

Choosing to be "apolitical" on any issue is a value statement.

Basically, when people say they miss the days when businesses were neutral, they are saying they miss the days when businesses made value statements that didn't offend them.

Do I have to wear a mask while sitting at home, drinking coffee, and posting on social media? No.

Who are "they", and what does that question even mean?

Would love to go back and see the OT sentiment on businesses being neutral when CFA came out against gay marriage

They shouldn’t have said anything about that either. But go ahead and keep melting because people don’t like their chicken CEO bending the knee to these terrorists

I won’t be doing that and if someone tried to shine my shoes I’d probably kick them.

I have spent quite a bit of money at CFA. Now that I won’t be eating there any longer they’ll have to open up on Sunday’s.

The term melt has really jumped the shark on this board

Isn't one of the most famous biblical examples of how to live a Christian life Jesus washing people's feet? Did that passage in the gospels also offend you?

The guy is a Christian and Jesus taught us to wash the feet of our enemies as well as turn the other cheek. Its a symbol of love and respect from that time. I don't think it fits to the letter in this day and age but I get what he is doing. I don't agree with him publicly saying that looting and rioting is OK, that sets a dangerous precedence

This is why America can't have real conversations anymore.

Anytime someone makes a point (from either side), the other side starts up with profanity and belittlement.

"I am not interested in hearing your side. If you disagree with me, you're a [insert internet meme insult here]."

LMAO. Nice try militant.Way to try and spin it.

Back in Jesus’s day people would wash a guests feet as they entered their home, because they walked for miles in dust and in flip flops.

I'm gonna let you in on a secret. Jesus was a socialist, before socialism existed. He was also a globalist, before globalism existed.

The entire concepts of personal property ownership and the modern nation state are completely antithetical to the actual words of Christ (to the extent that we know his actual words).
