That's not what you said moron. You implied that even though you had paid them for their product it was still your money. Maybe English is too hard for you?

You are harassing me, stop it!

No, maybe you misunderstood me.

You're a whiny little moron aren't you?



No, I understand English perfectly, perhaps you've just never learned how to express yourself intelligently. That can be quite the challenge for a born idiot.

Capitalizing on my lack of using harsh language?

I'm so surprised...

Yeah, the stupid are easily (and often) surprised.

Knock it off. Now. I will write to Stardock if you continue to attack me and derail this thread.

Surprising the one with the "stupid" accusations can't spell right.

Oh, now the idiot of the keyboard is going to give me spelling lessons? Pray tell oh master of the senseless statement, what did this poor wretched mental superior to yourself spell that defies your puny understanding? I await with breathless boredom your stupidness.

Stardock has been notified. I'm tired of being harassed every time I log on.

Awwww, poor baby. You tire easily.

What a pathetic worm.

Yeah, I'm sure this will be a huge success since the AFA's boycotts drove Disney, Ford, Proctor and Gamble and Kraft out of business - ha ha. 

exactly and that's the point here.  AFA is informing us and I agree with their decision and will also honor this boycott.  I did not honor the Disney one but will honor this one.  So...so much for the sheep mentality. 

It's not blackmail.  And I've already covered the sheep mentality thing and btw I'm not an AFA member.  I rarely join anything.  I have problems with committment. 

So you're saying that I'm only boycotting McD's because they are telling me too?  If they only gave me the facts, I wouldn't boycott?  You're not serious.  

 

Actually this is not a religious issue but a social one.  There are many non-Christians who also don't agree with the homosexual marriage. 

sorry but that was tit for tat here.  You tell me that when I walk into Mc'D's that my money is ONLY buying a product and that they can do anything with their money that has no connection to my hamburger I had to reply in kind. 

Well we all have our stupid moments, but I think men marrying men happens to be stupid as well as sinful. 

call it what you want.  I call it choosing to go elswhere. 

If you found our your favorite place to eat  (say Applebees) was supporting NAMBLA or PETA  or some other group (pick one) with every meal you ate and you couldn't stomach the organization would you continue to eat there? 

Wouldn't it bother your conscience?  Be honest. 

it's my money.  Why can't I do what I want with my money?  It's not blackmail.  I'm making a choice. 

 

 

 

First off that's discrimination and against the law.

I can answer this in a diff way.

My husband and I owned a CPA firm.  We hired an accountant who belonged to a cult.  Knowing all about that cult, I would say it was anti-Christ.  We paid her every week and I'm sure much of her money went to support this cult. 

The diff between us as an employer paying an employee and  patronizing a business are two diff animals.   In one instance we have no choice.  I have no choice in how my employee spends her money.  In the other I do have a choice.  I do have a choice in how to spend my money.

And that's it in a nutshell. 

It's a choice.   McDonald's has a choice and we have a choice. 

 

 

I am surprised at you KFC. I know we have not always agreed when it comes to religion but I respect you opinions and avoid making any rude comments towards your persona cause thats just me. But I have to point out that these comments above are very ignorant. Chances are there is not a thing you spend your money on that does not somehow go against something "the bible denotes as truly sinful". Our tax money kills people in other countries. Money you spend on a corner store for a simply product like a candy bar, a juice or even a loaf of bread could actually be used to purchase drugs or stolen goods. Every time you make a purchase at Walmart you give money to a company who people claim abuses it's employees and treats women unfairly. And don't get me started on the gas you put in your car related to possible terrorist funding countries. How many times have you purchased a product from a store you were unaware was owned by say, a lesbian, a gay, a KKK member, a drug dealer, a sexual offender or even a murderer?

All this time you had been buying McD's products unaware of what they did with their money. God, if you actually cared enough about this stuff you would not wait for groups like the AFA to warn you. How much does someone truly care about a cause when the only time they are inspired to do something about it is when someone else tells them they should?

Mason,

I can't give you any karma from here and once I get home, I can only give you so many. But from the bottom of my heart you don't deserve a cookie, you deserve the entire package for you comments on replies 61,63, 65, 67 and 69. Truly a work of art. LOL.

Granted, that's true, but surely next time you go into owning a business you could do more research and come to the decision that you don't want to employ someone who is going to support something you don't agree with, correct?

It's like (hypothetically) if I had a potential employee who supported the KKK. I wouldn't (both as an individual and business owner) want them on my staff. It may be discriminatory to some, but it's business to others. 

That being said, I feel you both have good points.
