So in. Just need the date to make sure it doesn't conflict with one thing and it's, well, it's wide open.

Remember the gold stars jerseys they sold but never wore? Those were/are awesome. -
The Chick-Fil-A controversy
Quoner replied to GreenBat's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
I went to CFA Saturday morning and met two girls there. No one kissed, but I could tell everyone was watching us. Also, one informed us she was dating a firefighter. How's that for closure? -
I want in -- in my loveable, flaky way.

The Chick-Fil-A controversy
Quoner replied to GreenBat's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
That is a very logical question, and, oddly enough, many already were protesting: http://www.snopes.com/politics/sexuality/chickfila.asp. The interview was the tipping point that went mainstream. No one is denying there is a separate, smaller, faction that wants to see CFA fail because they wear Christian principles on their sleeves, but any hack can see the way that both this fringe and the anti-gay crowd have grabbed on to this and tried to destroy the middle is the real shame. MORE FACTIONS MORE DIVISIONS MOAR CHIKIN MORE POSTERS* *depending on who hangs them -

I like it, but you spelled cause wrong. Could they sell 80 packs of green waffle frys? -

I'd rather start a separate newspaper and just bitch about it in every column, but I appreciate the call back. -

It was. A lot. That's why the guy had to preface his statement with non-front page news. -

Rick, you're better than this. You don't read the LA Times and neither do I, but just for fun, I used the Google on the internet machine: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/08/chick-fil-a-supporters-say-they-are-fighting-for-free-speech-.html http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/01/business/la-fi-chick-fil-a-day-20120802 http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-chick-fil-a-sales-a-world-record-20120802,0,6863629.story http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/08/-chick-fil-a-kiss-in-friday.html http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-chick-fil-a-kiss-in-20120802,0,3873417.story There's more posts going up all day and they are actually covering both sides. And yes, the news, which is driven by traffic and page views, will include the extremes of the debate. There's no story in customer buys food, leaves -- hence all the aggregate stories posted above. -

At last count, there were 2,804 articles about this, including pickups in every publication you mentioned. If you think this deserves front page billing (or any part of this story does), congratulations, you hate tangible, important world news. -

The Chick-Fil-A controversy
Quoner replied to GreenBat's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
Of course she sinned again. She sinned probably thousands of times. Maybe she really enjoyed unwed sexual relations and never let go of that. Maybe she liked to cuss. Maybe she liked to throw pebbles at lepers. It's all possible. If Jesus knew he could walk up to her, say those words and have it be cool, he wouldn't have needed to die. Sins are flaunted all the time by people who really want to be right with God. It's fallen nature, and if you're going to focus on publlic displays of a behavior everyone knows is sinful, I hope you'll be tightening the screws on everyone who overindulges next St. Patrick's Day or even around the tailgate lots this fall. This just bothers people more because it is a cultural and social change and these types of things never go well. I'm not arguing for anyone to change views on sexuality, just stop demonizing this group of people. I think the CFA boycott is dumb as hell, but just stating my opinion re: some of the rhetoric in this thread. I also hope the girl in the video comes to study the bible more later as well, but I don't think we've necessarily figured out a good way to encourage her to do so. -
The Chick-Fil-A controversy

None of you will get this because you've chosen to specifically avoid an entire population to feel safe. It's cool - I did it too for years. This whole Quoner bit was a giant experiement because of the way a few of you drooling objectified female athletes and spoke creepily of a certain all-time great WR at the same time. This was going to be a couple of cheap jokes and move on - but then the funniest thing happened. The same people who loved golf cart girls and big fat tittays were so damn offended by this absurdist push that they complained everywhere they could. They bitched at Harry. They sent me threats. They started other forums. THINK OF THE CHILDREN and MY KIDS READ THIS BOARD and LOOK AT THAT DUMB FAG all became okay responses from the same people who cherished the perfect shot of a 19 year-old dancer arching her back perfectly at the end of her routine. Reading this thread, no one wants a conversation - they want to lecture, pander for +1s from the same 5 people who agree and shut down debate. We have to all be dumb kids to disagree -- let alone that there is an entire group now in their late 20s/early 30s that pays taxes, works in decent jobs and donates the same amount as many of you to the program. Sadly, these are just dumb, irresponsible kids that will never have the biblical acumen of noted Frisco scholar or reporductive biologist TFLF. If the government was demanding churches force gay marriages, I would completely agree with any an all opposition, but this is simply a public union. Listening to several divorced conservatives preach the sanctity of marriage is just absurd at this point. Shit happens on all fronts, but I just can't picture the God I believe in and worship every Sunday saying "wait, wait, those people over there, let's hang back and hope they go away if we aren't nice to them." If you have a problem with homosexuality, totally cool. As tolerant as I like to think I am, aspects of it still weird me out. Boycotting or supporting a company over it is insanely stupid and we will all forget about CFA soon, but everyone will remain distracted another few weeks as the election gets closer. However, I wonder what would Jesus do about all of this? He'd probably, you know, associate with homosexuals, Christians and other sinners alike. He'd befriend them, He'd support them, He'd likely learn about their pain, their joy and their hopes. It's that whole love your neighbor thing again. The man stopped the stoning of a women doing things he very much disagreed with and, without being a dick about it, said go and sin no more. He didn't demand anything of her and didn't put any conditions on that love. I'm not saying go out and hug the nearest gay dude, but since we've had students, posters and even scholarship athletes roll through this school having to treat this as a shameful secret, maybe trying a little tolerance in the rhetoric might be a good thing? I don't know - at the very least I'm hoping Greenmachine will call me a queer and make fun of any girls I know.- 306 replies

Skiver found this section of the board!? Thank you so much, CFA. Also, I bet if you knew the Steak N Shake guys thoughts on stem cell research, you'd never drink a banana milkshake again. -
Is It Just Me?
Quoner replied to KRAM1's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
Maybe I'm a bad patriot, but eff the US Men's basketball team so hard. 2008 gave birth to the current monster that is the NBA superstar best friends and that has led me to the point where I have no interest in rooting for the majority of these people anywhere. If you want to see how it's done, watch the 1992 Dream Team scrimmage. Think the guys were spending their downtime* trying to figure out how to get Bird, Jordan and Barkley on the same team somewhere? /Rant over *They were probably just gambling -
Yes, my cat is in need of a loan and I am willing to drive to Denton to figure out how to make this work, but not if it means dealing with people like this.
