Chick-fil-a

They've also supported the Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, breast cancer charities, etc... so If I stopped eating their chicken then, by your reasoning, I would also be actively against Habitat for Humanity, etc...

no, that is not 'my reasoning' at all, because there are thousands of other places that support those things without also supporting obnoxious filth.

you can support them directly, or via a less morally bankrupt middleman. not supporting a company who supports something doesn't mean you are against what it supports, but supporting one that does support something means that you either support what they do, or consider your own convenience more important than standing up for what you really believe in, which means you may as well not fucking believe in it in the first place.

as for it being 'not my moral responsibility', well... we've seen what happens over and over in history when someone decides not to speak up simply because it's not them being persecuted. it's a despicably selfish attitude, though given your posting history, i'm not surprised. typical 'fuck you, got mine'.

I think you just broke the thread

not supporting a company who supports something doesn't mean you are against what it supports

not buying chicken sandwiches from Chic-fil-a who supports homophobia, etc.. doesn't mean you are against homophobia, etc..

[rossmum]

it also means you are not actually supporting it with your money? that has to be the worst attempt at an argument i have ever seen in my fucking life

A better business decision, but will it repair past discrepancies?

And that is what American politics has come to: hate-buying chicken and cupcakes and counter-hate-buying pizza and beer. We are gonna be even fatter, y’all.
