    I know. Like Yogi once said, "Nobody goes there anymore because it's too crowded".

    So you are saying that gods knows those who don't support your views must be punished, even though they do not impose on you in any way.
    IF we all take that position, then everybody is against everybody and nobody is free to have any opinion at all. I mean, if I don't like your personal position, I should be entitled to see to it you can't get a job? .
    Sounds fair, doesn't it?

    You are entitled to hate Chick-fil-A. You are not entitled to speak for others, nor encourage them to harm and person or business. If you do then why should you not be fair game for the same abuse?

    I don't see why the age of the thread matters.

    A boycott means you don't eat there when you try to stop other people from eating there outside of convincing them to join your boycott you are no longer boycotting.

    Maybe if you did a better job convincing other people to agree with you you wouldn't have to oppose them opening new stores they just wouldn't have the funds maybe people don't agree with you because you might be wrong. Maybe the people that eat their value the food over your
    I don't know the chain seems to be quite popular.

    I don't take issue with people voting with their dollar, and if a community devices it doesn't want a particular business there I'm fine with that too.

    The point at which it becomes an issue for me is when the government gets involved.

    If the boycott has no effect, it doesn't seem to, that's the next step. People seem to want their chicken sandwiches more than these principals.

    You don't see how responding to a two year old comment might not get a response?

    I don't see how anybody could not see that.

    The boycotts are working. They are still amazingly successfully while taking off Sundays. And no matter when you go there’s always a line and it’s not
    from lack of efficiency or workers. It’s too much demand.

    Boy did those Leftists show them, hehe.

    You were wondering why you didn't get a reply.

    The fact that it ended two years ago is probably why.

    That's why it matters....it greatly lowers your chances at a response.

    I seriously don't see how you don't get this. But hey......keep waiting.

    How so? The subject is very much still current, and in fact MORE SO, given the way that 'cancel culture' has taken off!
