What's that saying again?

Close your fucking mouth if you are stupid so that other people don't know if you are or not.

I think someone that was pissed off at Chik-Fil-A was just waiting for something to start a movement out of and that comment was the spark that started the fire. If the press didn't cover it, I think it would have started and ended in a day. The media fanned the fire.

They're worse because they aren't even present here in the first place. Probably too stupid to go outside of the US. lol

KFC and Chik-fil-A are quite similar except KFC has 17,000 restaurants and Chik-fil-A only has 1,614. KFC has a 15 year head start on Chik-fil-A.

Going international costs a fortune because they literally have to rewrite their entire menu to succeed. They also have to deal with interntional trade laws, laws in two (or more) countries, and dietary bans (like no trans-fats). "Stupid," no, you gotta be a genius with a ton of resources to go multinational.

You just contradicted yourself. I just said that they're too stupid so they're stuck in the US, and then you say "no," on the stupid part. Then follow it up with the "you gotta be a genius with a ton of resources to go multinational" clause. Thus proving that they ARE stupid, too stupid in fact. Because one fastfood chain over here is certainly much smaller than that Chick-fil-A but it has branches over there in the US, in the Middle East, and in our neighbors.

No, I said they're a small chain. Then I said they are normal. KFC, McDonalds, and the other huge multinational corporations have had many geniuses (or clever/shrewd people) throughout their history that enabled them to get where they are today. Doesn't mean Chick-fil-A couldn't recruit some of them and follow a similar path.

Phillipines is tiny, USA is huge. There's a lot of room to expand in the USA before you run out of new customers. Phillipines, not so much.

First time watching videos:

They don't give money to "hate groups" they give money to groups with a different opinion. Focus on the Family, for example, doesn't promote violence towards gays. What they support is marriage as defined by their faith (man and woman). Vocal people (in this case, gays) need to learn to respect differences in opinion.


As for second video: it was wrong of people to send hate mail and leave hate messages. The people that did that are no better than his original comments.

I didn't read a single word after that because you're full of shit. The only similarities are that they're both fast-food and they both sell chicken. The difference is that Chik-Fil-A sells food that isn't gross.

Thank you. While I somewhat disagree about their fries (they're good dipped in cheese, but not otherwise), I love their chicken.

Yes it is delicious but why are you PAYING to eat food that has no nutritional value and in turn ruining your body?

You live in america, you have access to good food, you have access to the information about these foods, you can afford good foods that many other americans can't.

So why are you eating garbage and supporting crap places like this?

Oh my god, you're such a fucking dirty hippie. I eat what I think tastes good. I don't give a fuck about how healthy it is or isn't. And I'm pretty sure Chik-Fil-A is healthier than most other fast-food places anyways.
