So Chick-Fil-A was mobbed last Weds by folks standing up for traditional values? Where are all these folks when we need help at the homeless shelter?
They were probably on their lunch break

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more. A hasty quarrel kindles fire, and urgent strife sheds blood. If you blow on a spark, it will glow; if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

The local food pantry down the street seemed pretty well-staffed when we went there to donate two flats of juice drinks last week. You'd be surprised how people still support traditional values even when we're not talking about homosexuality and fast food.

Apparently Joe thinks that execs at McDonalds who "earn" millions and millions of dollars of bonuses is the right thing, while the worker at McDonald's who cannot even support himself on his own income must be the one to starve because hey he doesn't have a career.
But I forgot those execs need those yachts rather than the worker to get a roof of his head and other amenities.
Are you people even Christian? Honestly. Stop serving yourselves and start serving other people.
Supply and demand. You do a job anyone can do because it is not so demanding, there is a lot of supply, and the salary reflects it. Of course, they can raise the price to $10 a burger, in which case no one will buy them and everyone will be out of a job. Do you really think any job you have ever had is as "demanding" as a migrant farm worker's job? Fwiw, I do. In middle school I worked on a farm in the summer, right alongside Mexican illegal immigrants. What do you want to know about it?

They were probably on their lunch break cute. when was the last time you saw people mob a volunteer oppurtunity? All the time... The walk for Cancer we go to has tons of people show up. The local food pantry has a waiting list for the various Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts and high school community service clubs to come out and stock shelves and do the various chores..The Half Way house by Church gets lots of help... etc.

This has turned into a rather hilariously confusing brouhaha,  as far as the Orthodox Christians of America are concerned, is it a question of religion, politics, law, or personal conviction? what the heck is going on that we are arguing over where to eat our chicken and whom to eat it with? The way I see it, If it is a religious question of with whom to dine with, make sure you imitate your master, as Jesus has been known to dine with those deemed sinners and not the teachers and keepers of the law. if it is a matter of politics the best of politicians like Gandhi would advocate for peaceful coexistence, If it is a matter of civil law folks like Dr. king would march with those that fight for their civil rights, if its a personal conviction for pits sake go ahead and eat your chicken!  It’s a FREE COUNTRY after all, or is it….?  But that’s just me, so you may continue as you are folks .  I am now going to drink some fantastic Fantalimon with a nice slice of fruitcake because I love them both!  P.S.to those who are fasting or who are going to start, wish you all a blessed fast. May the intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos be with all of us. amen.

There. And in the soup kitchens and any number of charitable enterprises which, studies show, the conservative folks overwhelming contribute to and run the bulk. Doesn't matter really. Capitalist charity is often worse that capitalist brutality since it only serves to confuse the oppressed.

They were probably on their lunch break What kind of job has an hours long lunch break? Probably the kind where you start work, say for example, at 8 a.m., work until noon, have your lunch break for an hour, and then go back to work from 1 p.m.-5p.m. Simple, really. Lots of places "out there" in the real world do that. Lots of other places don't have an hour-long lunch break. Others, like where I work, give you an option. So what?

They were probably on their lunch break cute. when was the last time you saw people mob a volunteer oppurtunity? Actually we get turned down for soup kitchens at certain times of year because they have "more than enough volunteers."

I am glad this is finally winding down. I went to Starbucks yesterday and I didn't see anyone protesting their pro-homosexual donations. This all seemed one sided to me. Purchase what you enjoy, but if it means that much to you don't purchase. Either way, people should not make a mountain out of a mole hill. It we didn't buy things from people we disagreed with, we would never purchase anything.
Peter, if this is considered political, please let me know. I tried not to make it as such and would appreciate guidance so I do not violate any rules, even if I came close but didn't. Thanks.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more. A hasty quarrel kindles fire, and urgent strife sheds blood. If you blow on a spark, it will glow; if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

Chick-fil-A Ceases Anti-gay Donations, Clarifies Stance on Gay Customers & EmployeesSeptember 18, 2012 – Chicago, Illinois – The Civil Rights Agenda (TCRA), Illinois’ leading lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights advocacy organization, has learned that Alderman Moreno has finalized his negotiations with Chick-Fil-A. Alderman Moreno has confirmed that Chick-fil-A will no longer give money to anti-gay organizations and that they have clarified in an internal document that the company will treat every person equally, regardless of sexual orientation. The Civil Rights Agenda worked closely with the Alderman in an advisory role as he negotiated these concessions with the executives at Chick-fil-A. Additionally, members of TCRA spoke directly with executives at Chick-fil-A during negotiations to aid in educating their decision makers about anti-discrimination policies and issues affecting the LGBT community. In a letter addressed to Alderman Moreno and signed by Chick-fil-A’s Senior Director of Real Estate, it states, “The WinShape Foundations is now taking a much closer look at the organizations it considers helping, and in that process will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas.” Winshape, a non-profit funded by Chick-fil-a, has donated millions of dollars to anti-LGBT groups, including some classified as hate groups. In meetings the company executives clarified that they will no longer give to anti-gay organizations. Smart move.

We cannot legislate morality by passing laws controlling firearms. The only evil we can combat lies within our hearts. We need stronger laws to protect the moral foundation of society against the evil of gay marriage.

In meetings the company executives clarified that they will no longer give to anti-gay organizations. Smart move. What hate groups? The Southern Poverty Law Center is using a specific definition of 'hate group': The SPLC’s definition of hate speech does not require an explicit incitement to violence. According to the group’s website, a hate group must have “beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics.” Being named as a hate group “does not imply a group advocates or engages in violence or other criminal activity.” Many conservatives and progressives alike might disagree with this definition of hate group, choosing to save such language for groups that espouse violence. In any event, the Family Research Council -- listed as a hate group by the SPLC, and a former recipient of Chick-Fil-A largesse -- does support making homosexual activity illegal, a political move that most Christians, I would think, would deem unwise to support: Homosexuality Is Not a Civil RightThis pamphlet clarifies certain misconceptions about the meaning of "discrimination" (some forms of which can't-and shouldn't-be eliminated) and of "civil rights" (distinguishing those which limit government power from those which limit the rights of others). It also explains why homosexual conduct is not comparable to other characteristics usually protected by civil rights laws ("race, color, religion, sex, or national origin"). Protection against private "discrimination" has historically been offered only for characteristics that are inborn, involuntary, immutable, innocuous, and/or in the Constitution-yet none of these describe homosexual behavior.
