Rahm Emanuel persecutes Christian run Chick-Fil-A

[Seshmeister]

Yeah. That's why we eat at the family owned wood fired pizza places here. Of course there is nothing more capitalistic than small family businesses.

Every year it feels like more and more small family businesses are killed off by big ones.

It is getting much worse now they can't get credit.

Capitalism is a free market. What's happening is the central banks are loaning to the big banks but the money isn't making it to the average business owner. That's one problem. The second problem here in the states is the government regulatory agencies are being used to do the big corporations dirty work. Also with Obamacare the big rats like McDonald's are getting exemptions but mom and pop pizza won't. So Obamacare is anti small business exactly why I'm opposed to it. People have been snookered. They think the government is on their side. It's not. It's been bought by the big corporations and banks. The politicians serve them not us. This is why I don't understand why people think giving a corrupt bought off government more power is any kind of solution. Yeah, government regulations are supposed to keep the free market free. Sometimes big business needs to be regulated. But we don't have good people in charge and they do the bidding of the corporations. That's not capitalism. That's fascism. Basically everything is ran by a big club and we are not part of it anymore and now that big club is deciding it's just going to take everything. This is the situation and it's very bad. It's not capitalism that is at fault, it's the lack of the government protecting it that is at fault.

I like how you've tied things together there.

A rum you can drink while being reminded of a man with a big cock you've seen...

I haven't tried it yet because (A) maybe it WOULD remind me of him naked, which isn't a good thing and (B) I'm afraid I might find a hair in the bottom of my glass.



No seriously, I just saw it for the first time today. I might have to buy a bottle just for novelty's sake.

I never worked in fast food but I did a lot of construction work....

Well, I guess there's one thing you didn't do...

Having your superstitions debated is not persecution. Religions have been clever over the years to protect themselves from ridicule by special pleading that you can't question people's beliefs because it will offend them.

It's a ludicrous stance. Imagine that in any other area of life. Imagine if people said you couldn't question Obama's beliefs about the economy or wars.

This religious 'offence' thing is so deep in the mindset that I've seen posters on here absolutely stunned at me saying something against a book written thousands of years ago. I'm meant to be grateful that because they weren't from the christian spin off muslim cult that at least they didn't then try to have me killed?

Not only can one not question their beliefs, but they can question scientific concepts like Evolution...

Try a "Dark and Stormy" mixed with real Ginger Beer and a lime...

Keep your right wing paranoia in check...

You first, idiot



Jesus fucking Christ of all people to post this....

[LoungeMachine]

I heard that, My son. Verily, even I want nothing to do with much of modern day "Christianity", and I'm CHRIST, for Dad's sake!

Oh God, no.....



Save the "talking to aliases" for thome and sockfucker, FORD

Like I said...nice racket.

I'm personally not anti-religious nor am I necessarily a non-believer, but so much of it is obvious hegemonic bullshit designed to hold power and make money...

That being said, I do believe that (male) Homosexuality leads to horrid Nickleback records..

Today's the day...

Yes, Nickleback being god-awful is one thing we all can agree on.

Perhaps I'm just a simpleton, but I really don't get what the big deal is here. If a guy runs a profitable business, then off-handedly says one fine morning "Ya know, I really support traditional families, and by that I mean a mom, a dad, a pet and perhaps 2 and a half kids", then who cares? On the other hand, if this same guy decides to take the profits from his business and use them to suppress the rights of others in this belief, that's OK too. I just don't have to visit his place of business. It isn't a reason for me to picket on his doorstep, question his right to free speech, make a big stink and call attention to myself in the process.

And by the way, I believe folks should eat less franchised fast food and support their local mom and pop pizzerias instead. I wonder how that statement can be twisted into making me sound anti-gay or better yet, hating the troops and therefor UN-American.

I would like to see that rewritten from the angle of the, you are 8 years old and we are sending you to the Jerry Sandusky school of complete lack of sexual restraint .

So you can experience the better parts of life, and not be a repressed biggot like that guy from chick flahs.

Now that would be comedy.

That cartoon lacks any real comedic value it is sophomoric in it's set up and punchline.
