Who's crying, and who demanded he stop donating? Again, I DON'T GIVE A CRAP. He can donate to whomever he wants, I wasn't even part of this stupid boycott, and fast food will kill ya. So what "lesson" was I taught, when I never even participated or cared about this?

their continuous squalls of 'hatred!' and 'bigotry!' were recognized by virtually everyone as having no merit?

To me, it breaks down this way.

If I see something on TV I don't like, I change the channel.
If I hear something on the radio I don't like, I change the station.
If I read something I don't like, I put the book/paper down and read something else.
If I don't like a company's 'philosophy', I don't patronize it.

I don't really care what anyone else does.

Probably because the same reason as a "liberal" boycott of dollar stores would backfire

Because liberal's don't eat at crap places like Chick Fil-A anyway. . .at least those who classify themselves as liberal and their relating social economic status.

Seriously, Chik-fil-A is for those fat redneck famalies with their freezer full of tv-dinner and frozen prepared lasagnas.

Just one man opinion

Yeah, except for the fact that I wasn't "crying," nor do I really give a crap about this whole issue.

But I will not "go away" either, since like the owner of this heart attack-inducing establishment, I'm allowed to speak my mind too.

Haha... so true! Hence the reason I thought they only existed in the south, and had to Google it to see if we even had one - much to my surprise, we actually do.
