Chick-fil-A digging themselves a hole

Couldn't "pillow-biter" refer to anyone receiving anal sex including women? Or even a woman doing it "doggy style"?

The last time I heard it was in high school in the late 90's, and it absolutely was used as an anti-gay invective then. And smoothie's post leaves no doubt what he meant.

What the fuck?

Well, yeah, I know it's a gay-slur I just question the logic of it since one doesn't have to on the receiving in of male-on-male sex in order to bite one's pillow in the throws of passion.

The context in which is used up-thread, sure, is clearly in a negative, anti-gay slight. I just question the logic of it being a solely anti-gay term when it could refer to heterosexual women as well as heterosexual men engaged in sub/dom play with a dominating female with appliances attached.
 
OK, I hope they do nicely too before I worry about some well fed pillow biter out to get noticed. I would like to see the hungry be fed. I have no idea how to accomplish this, but maybe they could go to Chik-Fil-A.

Infraction for trolling
for the homophobic slur. Comments to PM.
 
Good luck with that one. The way I see it,I don't know why people are acting so shocked over this. Walk in to any Chick-fil-a restaurant and their "We are closed on Sundays because of our christian beliefs" is staring you right in the face. The president of the company was asked a question that everyone in their brother already knew the answer to. He didn't post a big sign and advertise it.He was asked a question and he answered it.

The issue most people have is that they donate to anti-gay groups. I don't give a shit about his personal beliefs if he didn't discriminate at all. They did quickly release a statement saying that they serve everyone regardless of sexual orientation. All they have to do is go one step further and say that they aren't going to be politically involved at all.

They have just as much right to get politically involved as any other business does. That pesky first amendment again. Unless they are funding terrorist organizations there is nothing illegal about it.

I agree completely. However, the first amendment only applies to government actors, not to private boycotts. Just like they have the right to spend money how they would like, boycotters also have the right to spend money somewhere besides at Chick-fil-A.
 
I'm not even 100% sure that my local Boston Market is still around. Like I said above, I haven't eaten there in ages. Place could be a tool shop or carpet store by now and I wouldn't know.

The two closest to my house are gone but the one near my work is still open.
 
I didn't even know Boston Market was still around. I feel like I haven't seen one in years.
They expanded too quickly and now many locations have vanished.

It's too bad because I used to love eating there.I haven't seen any since moving to Georgia. I much prefer my chicken to be Rotisserie. It's tastes really good plus it is better for you anyway. I have to settle for Publix or Walmart for my Boston Market fix.
 
We had a Boston Market for about a year. I got to eat something from there just once, and then it was gone. :(
 
That's all fine and dandy by me, though...the best chicken on the face of the planet earth is made and served at a couple of my local area Chinese restaurants. I've had sweet and sour as well as Mandarin chicken that makes the best chicken sandwiches made by all the fast food chains in existence seem like chewing on a rubber dog toy in comparison.

Damn...now I'm craving Chinese buffet again. At this rate my last functioning heart valve will be kaput in about six hours. :p
 
There's still a few around here, I just haven't been into one in years.

I haven't been following the thread for a couple days, are there any philosophical reasons I shouldn't go to a Boston Market?
 
I just drove by the two local Chick-fil-A's in my town with my camera, as I was hoping to take some pictures of any protesters, and post them here, but I didn't see a single protester, and the line of customers were wrapped around the stores. :o

Well, of course! They can't be arsed to help their fellow man, but choke down a chicken sandwich to stop the gays from having equal rights? Sign them the hell up!
 
Let's be frank. A lot of these people might not even care about the gay rights issue, whether for or against. They just want to suck down some chicken and feel like they're part of some big news event that's been played up by the media. Maybe even get on a local TV or newspaper camera so they can brag about it to their family and friends.

Yep. Stuff your face and feel like you're saving the nation from immoral decay. Jingoism and gluttony all in one location.
