Really? I know a few lesbians who HAD children... you know, from their vaginas and everything. Imagine that! One even MADE them the "old-fashioned" way, during what she calls her straight phase - which didn't last very long, LOL.

Many of us said on that thread "if you don't like the ads, don't buy Doritos - simple as that." But nooooooo, you still had to whine & moan about how they're pushing their beliefs on you, and that the ads shouldn't be allowed to air. Gawd, the hypocrisy of this whole issue makes my head spin.

Eat the chicken and/or Doritos, don't eat them, who cares? Businesses can do what they want, and we can eat or not eat what we want - ain't America grand?!

I'm talking about the thread from earlier this week, about those gay-themed Doritos ads... it's just interesting how these similar yet opposite issues came up, and the hypocrisy of how some people reacted. Sorry if you can't follow my tangent, but it would make sense if you read through both threads.

To summarize: The same people who say "a business can do whatever they want, just don't buy the product" sing a much different tune when the company's doing something THEY find disagreeable... get it?

BTW, not trying to correct you...but I think you probably meant nauseous, not "nautilus".
Perhaps it was a Freudian slip because "alphamale" realises that many gay men are probably far more fit, muscled and masculine than he is ....because they use Nautilus gym equipment?

The principles reflected the culture of the times in which it was written.
Did you rip the Old Testament out of yours? Doesn't sound like you've read it.

No can't follow, but I agree you do go off on a tangent. . .

You quoted my thread and then said "oh righteous ones" and call out "Gawd the hypocracy" regarding your "Dorito Thread" Also; "you can't have it both ways" etc etc.

I never read your Dorito thread. Sorry.

So really if you are going to try to call out (and quote) someones specific post out you should not accuse them of something that is false.
I simply stated that because Chic Filet is "pro family" does not make them anti anything. That was it for my post and I receive your ranting? So again I say WOW!!

Radicals hate anything pro traditional family and get all worked up over any person or company that has the moxy to go against the left-wing extremists. Who by the way think everyone should agree with them.

Wasn't "my" Dorito thread... I don't think I've ever started a thread on here, in fact. And while I did quote you, some of my comments were more general - and not even fully directed at one side over another.

Again, it wasn't all specifically directed at you, hence the reason I used plurals. If I'm the first person on an internet forum to go off on a tangent, I would be VERY surprised... so don't get your pants in a wad over it, LOL. Sorry if I misused your comments, but it just summarized the overall tone here.

I'm no radical or extremist, but I also think this "traditional family" BS is just that - BS. There's really no such thing anymore, when you consider how many children are being raised in "alternative" situations... being raised by grandparents, single parents, gays & lesbians, step-parents, Aunts/Uncles, foster families, etc. So what is a traditional family, and who has the right to be included?

I don't think they really care about "politics" either, to be honest. The owners are Christians. They don't open on Sunday. They try to honor God with their business.

Honestly...it's sad when the intolerance of the tolerance police think they can strong-arm people like this.
