so we agree then anfrey that personal opinons are just that. opinions. and they might make some people dislike u and others like u.
I personally like to leave all of those opinions out of my day to day life. I go get food where the food is good at. and there are lots of people like me as well. we just dont care what other people think
it's all part of what people want out of their transactions and where they want to see their money going. to put it into another perspective, it would be like whether you wanted to go eat at a restaurant that funded drug trafficking, or contributed towards breast cancer awareness, or funded terrorism, or whatever else. some people don't care where their money goes, while others do. in the end, everyone is free to choose whatever they wish and voice their opinions not only by speech, but also, like i mentioned earlier, with their wallets.
I dont hate or dislike anyone for their beliefs. I think its pretty cool for people not to be afraid to say what they think. Anfrey is still my homeboy!
i don't either and greatly respect those that will stick to their guns. i may or may not agree with them (or their beliefs), but that's a different discussion altogether
we all believe in different things here and it's great that we can put all that aside and still get along. our personal beliefs are exactly that - personal.
mine too. I like most people as long as they aren't a boring part of the flock.
but you just described 'most people'
They were in a lose lose situation. Had they said they supported gay marriage people would diss them because he didn't stick to his beliefs. Personally I don't give two s***s. Let gays be married. My life still goes on. I give him respect still for keeping to his belief even though he knew it would Piss people off.
people are smart enough to see a marketing backpedal and the insincerity it portrays. like you said, cathy was stuck between a rock and a hard place, so to say. it was definitely a lose-lose, as you described, and he did the only thing he could save face with, which was to STFU. personally, i'm on the side of equality (as opposed to bigotry), but everyone can have their own opinion. like i said, i choose not to do business with him nor his enterprise. unfortunately, the true losers here are the restaurant franchisees who may or may not agree (or even have an opinion) on the subject. then again, i wouldn't purchase a franchise without researching it well. i love their breakfast food and really miss eating it, but i'd rather my money not go towards suppressing equality. i'll go support my local fag-loving diner instead.
they're drones.
