gilgigamesh: Money that you spend at chick-fil-a goes to groups like the family research council, groups which have lobbied to criminalize homosexuality and that try to "cure" gay kids of their sexual orientation.

If you find that kind of thing abhorrent, don't give them your money. This is America. There is plenty of crappy, non-evil fast food chicken out there.

Forgive me for not wanting my money to go to blatant medical quackery.

I took the money I would normally spend at Chic-fil-A, and had a delicious meal at Abners last night. It beats them by ...well, there's not even a comparison.

Hell. Zaxbys and Popeyes have better chicken.

Fark off. Enough of Chick-fil-a nonsense. Even they are closed on sundays.

Ahh, scamming money out of the gullible. A time-honored lawyer activity.

-Pay him $1.
-He takes $0.20 flat out.
-Promises to pay 80% "after expenses"
-Well hell, stamps are $0.45 apiece now.
-And the envelope, that's another $0.10.
-Have to pay someone to write that check, and that'll be me, and I charge $0.20 per check written.
-And the check itself needs to be replaced, so that costs another $0.04, by my estimates
-Oh the glories of running a middle-man company.

Or you could donate the money directly, not put money in a profiteer's pocket, and oh, I don't know, maybe pay more attention to your morals than your stomach?

The only people who will use this website are fat, lazy types with no moral fiber who want to convince their friends what great people they are. They're not.

/and half of chick-fil-a's food tastes like shiat anyway; the sandwiches are a 7/10, but the fries suck ass and taste like unseasoned vegetable oil

it's like a more legitimate form of carbon Clucking credits.

FTFY

/been done. The Catholic Church called them "Indulgences"

CujoQuarrel: I'll top his offer. With me you'll get TWICE the offsets per dollar and I promise to give 90% of the proceeds to somebody or other.

No checks please. MC / Visas and PayPal only

In MY offset scam system, for every dollar you put in, I'll match with a dollar that somebody else puts in, and guarantee that 100% will go to the M-LC fund.

martissimo: siyuntz: I don't really get why someone would give that guy $ (where only 80% after expenses goes to LGTB groups), rather than just donate the $ to those groups directly.

Because people are stupid, it's a genius idea though, heck if he's really smart he will donate to a group he creates that takes another 20% off the top.



they give 80% AFTER expenses. Expenses may include things like salary, consulting fees, etc.

kwame: I guess there is a third side: idiots who don't understand what "the issue" means.

The third side is people who have thirty minutes for lunch before they have to be back at the job site, and don't want to deal with people who have nothing better to do than wave signs around.

BobDeluxe: Dear God. What a load of horseshat. This has seriously went to levels of stupid reserved for comedy only.

Done.

Yup. There is no offsetting the money Chik-fil-a sends to hate groups. Those groups are still getting money and yodeling their idiocy no matter how much money you're also giving to pro-gay groups. Just frigging eat at Cane's, y'all.

gweilo8888: /and half of chick-fil-a's food tastes like shiat anyway; the sandwiches are a 7/10, but the fries suck ass and taste like unseasoned vegetable oil

It's the reverse for me - their fries are decent (not good enough to keep on patronising them in spite of the asshole owner, but not terrible) but their chicken is farking rancid. Then again, I'm not big on pickles.

/That's what she said.

kwame: cameroncrazy1984: kwame: First time I can remember that everyone on both sides of the issue is a complete idiot.

Nah, just you. There are more than two sides.

I guess there is a third side: idiots who don't understand what "the issue" means.

Kwame, you have the perfect lover. Go back to her, and stop commenting in this thread.

She wants you back in bed before her batteries run down.

OscarTamerz: Here's an interesting article on Amazon, it says Amazon gives virtually nothing to United Way when Microsoft and Boeing gave 4 and 3 million $ last year. Amazon is a bigger company than Boeing too.

Amazon had the "young company, no products" excuse. Boeing makes those donations so they don't have to pay taxes, and to keep a good public image. Microsoft makes those donations to have a public image other than the blue screen of death. Amazon is a store. Their public image is that they sell things, which people buy.

Jon Stewart suggested offsets on The Daily Show last week with Wyatt Cenac and Jessica Williams.

So go to KFC?

All the KFCs near me have become combo KFC / Taco Bell or KFC / A&W... so I either get undercooked greasy fried chicken with a side i didn't ask for, or overcooked dry fried chicken, but a great big mug of root beer.

This guy loves the idea. He's getting mega rich with a similar offset scheme. Idiot liberals will gladly fork over money if it will make them feel less guilty.

Triumph: It's like a more legitimate form of carbon credits.

And 10x more effective.

cookiefleck: bighairyguy: I think everyone would win if they would just shut up and eat their damn sandwiches.

Thank you.

From the pics in the article I wish gay groups would work out a schedule so at every chicken filet there was a gay couple making out hard by the entrance.

Since this hater was fired, he can't afford offsets.

I never really liked Chick-FIL-A to begin with; however, I might give it it a second chance-- just to annoy my rather vocal right-wing family members.

While I think the CFA is overblown it's pretty terrible to be so dismissive of civil rights struggles. Not to worry though, the cracks are already in the dam. Once the boomers really start dying in larger numbers I think we'll have greater equality all around: blacks, women, gays, etc.

Question for farkers, where did the chick fil a guy supports the death penalty for gays in Uganda thing come from? I tried googling it but got a bunch of partisan websites I was having trouble trusting, dailyKos and breitbart and so on, I don't suppose I am lucky enough for there to be a cogent article on
the subject written by someone trustworthy, like CNN or politifact?

johnryan51: If I eat at a whites only restaurant and give money to the NAACP its o.k. right?

No, a whites only restaurant would be against the law.

you are funny.

Here's a thought. Stop asking people for their opinion if you are not adult enough to handle that not the entire world agrees with you.

Never ate there.

David, this is that awkward moment where you realize that you just gave the advice that you needed yourself.

Yeah, I don't think that will annoy them...

I believe that Fritz Goodwin invented offsets for people profiting from the industry around death camps in Germany. Those 2.000.000 ReichMarks bought a large bucket (depending on head size) and enough sand to fill it with head nicely hiding there.

The Chick-fil-A guy donated nearly $2 million to groups that sent these guys to Uganda to rail against gays just before that country introduced the gay death penalty bill.

See, that's what I was looking for, thanks.

How about you muster the will to not jam your fat farking face with fast food chicken in the first place.

Ok, now someone needs to turn this around to play the other side of the CFA foolishness. Which should be easy enough: the people buying an unwanted product just because they like the politics of the guy selling it are clearly even more foolish than the people not buying a desired product just because they oppose the politics of the guy selling it.

So how about this:

Attention wingnuts: Some of you want to "appreciate" Chick-Fil-A's intolerance, but may be unable or unwilling to actually buy/eat CFA. If you send me your CFA appreciation money, 80% after expenses will be used to purchase food from CFA. Relax as I make some effort* to get it consumed! Get a receipt* to show your friends! *additional charges may apply for effort or receipt

Lsherm: "I posted on Facebook that donating money to gay rights causes did a heck of a lot more good than depriving Christian groups of $0.0001 by boycotting Chick-fil-A," Frank tells The Huffington Post. "A friend joked 'Chicken offsets' in response, the domain name was open, and someone else would've come up with the idea if I didn't execute."

It's a great idea. You get to eat the chicken with a clear conscience.

Why not? Selling "carbon credits" sure made everyone feel warm and fuzzy about global warming.

If you really think this is a good idea then please stop criticising the Church of England about their sale of "sin offsets".

My winning solution is not giving a shiat(much like a honey badger) in regards to the whole issue for or against.

I'm neither making special trips there nor boycotting them. I am ocasionally eating one every now and then when I feel like a fracking chicken sammich like there is no controversy

You clearly are a principled human being.

There are issues that I am principled about but Gays ain't one of them. Neither is abortion. The more someone tries to preach to me about either of those the more they push me to the opposite end of the spectrum as themselves.

On second thought, I'm starting to like this...

Chick-fil-A didn't need a solution, they were never having any issues. They don't need to donate to anyone and their profits are soaring because of the gay groups attacks on them, they're alreasy win-win. If they remain under fire I just may buy stock in them.
