Haven: I still can't see what part of you would want to give Chick-Fil-A money. It isn't as if they're doing anything to crusade to your benefit... unless you're going to fall into the trap of thinking that if they deny someone else something it's a victory for you. I see and hear way too much of that these days, and it sickens me -- especially when I see how often it's used to pit smaller groups against each other for the benefit of another group that's already in power. (Related joke: A CEO, a Teacher's Union rep and a non-union employee sit down at a table and the waitress brings a tray of a dozen cookies. The CEO immediately takes 11 cookies, then whispers to the non-union employee, "The teacher wants to take your cookie.")
I do agree with you on the underlying problem we have in this country concerning marriage. The government should never have gotten in the business of selling marriage licenses. Of course, I understand that they understandably lacked the foresight to realize they should have only been granting something more sterile - purely for legal and tax purposes - such as what we would now see as "civil unions."
We can't undo the past, but they could start to fix the future by phasing out the granting of marriage licenses and dealing only in civil unions. Let's leave "marriage" as something that's either a case of personal and/or religious definition, making it a term with no legal weight on its own.
The last paragraph: BINGO.
The first paragraph: I was just trying to make a joke of the fact that I'm getting screwed from both ends and I don't like their food anyway.
I think with Chik-Fil-A, their principles are based on hyper-conservative, Southern Baptist type values. If someone leans that way, then that person admires everything they stand for, including the closed on Sunday thing.
Personally, I think their food is decent, but I haven't been in to eat in quite a while because I can't stand that brand of repressive religious idea. I don't have a problem with religion, but do have a personal dislike for intolerance. I lean more toward Quaker tolerance for many things. Including when I do have to go to Chik-Fil-A because one of my elderly relatives asks me to take them there.
In my cursory research today I saw their mission statement. The first part is "To glorify God. . ."
I apologize to anyone who is particularly religious, but this mission statement, for a business, sucks ###. Freakin' chicken sandwiches weren't even mentioned until several sentences later! It wasn't even "To glorify God by making the best chicken sandwiches in the world." Although I completely fail to see how that would work out in God's favor and all, it still would have been better!
If that's the first part of a church's mission statement, I can plainly see how that would work.
A business whose primary objective is to "glorify God" is a piss poor business. A person whose primary objective is to "glorify God" seems to make a hell of a lot more sense.

Well, they are pretty successful, so maybe there's something to it? I don't know, just food for thought.
If I had any 'beef' with them, it's the absurdly high standards you need to obtain a franchise license from them. It's absurd!

Heh, didn't even think of that.
But I bet there are plenty of devout Christians who work for Whataburger, and I'm thinking they're more successful even if their mission statement doesn't say so.
Waitaminit!
*runs off to check*
EDIT: Yipes! Chick-fil-A (Can we come up with a new topic here? I'm SO tired of typing that out!!) started four years before Whataburger and they have twice the number of locations.
I don't know if that qualifies as an equal assessment, but dang, billions of people don't know what a decent chicken sandwich tastes like.
And the thing I quoted wasn't the mission statement, it was the corporate purposes statement or something like that.
howdy y'all. gonna fill these things up fast at the 1k cap.
It's part of our secret mission statement.
I'm down at work, checking in while I wait for some samples to saturate so I can move them to the next step.
There was a break in the weather such that I took care of tanking up the van and getting down to the lab, but since then it's been back to lightning and pouring rain.
Indeed. It took us only eight days to reach this limit with the last one.
And we're almost at 10% already, heh heh.
Only being able to address my contribution, I was essentially gone from here this past week; the thread we just closed probably saw the smallest number of posts from me since some months back when I disappeared for a couple weeks.

I...I... I'm no longer in Miraclo's sig. Life just doesn't seem to have the same zest anymore. Give me enough time and I'll come up with some awkward statement again.

I was just feeling as if what I'd stacked up in there had gotten... almost as stale as the avatar I've been using, so I dropped the three quotes that were in there and started fresh.
The kind people, especially in these Ogre threads, have given me plenty of traditionally signature-worthy compliments but I can't bring myself to run with that sort of thing. I don't have enough of the press agent in me, and I'm painfully uncomfortable with really obvious self-aggrandizement, so I tend to go for odd bits that strike me as funny at the time.

I don't know, my business's mission statement has a lengthy passage about doing office work for the glory of Yog-Sothoth. Seems to be workin' for me so far.

That would actually be kinda cool for a security service.
