Well, this food is delicious, unlike most fast food.

That's missing the point. And most people who eat fast food think it is delicious. So what?

JCMan8 either owns stock, is gloating that they survived the Liberal boycott, or both.

I wish I could own stock. They are a private company. I'd snatch up their stock in a second.

And there was nothing to "survive." They've been thriving and wildly expanding since the beginning. I just love their food. Though I admit in taking pleasure seeing Comrade DeBlasio's directives falling on deaf ears.

You realize you are rooting for fast food, right?

Pebble, I find it very ironic you have no idea what a strawman is yet you continually use them.

You used a nice one when you claimed I praise Chick Fil A "simply because the owner hates gay people." That's a fantasy you concocted, and yes, a straw man.

I love them because their food is delicious. As does large portions of the country. After all, their popularity and sales continue to explode in the face of an overall decline in the fast food industry.

I guess people like you are unable to separate politics from other aspects of your life, but it's pretty easy for me to judge something on its merits.

I'm well aware of strawmen. If you go back to through the archives, I'm certain you'll find that I was the first to use the term. You should also brush up on the use irony given your sudden need to claim others are using a strawman argument...

In order to claim that it is a strawman argument, my claim would have to be based on a falsehood or misdirection. The reality is, you are a proven bigot. Your posts demonstrate this. There is nobody that thinks otherwise.

In this thread alone, you have gone to great lengths to call Chick-Fil-A a "quality food" and a "great company". Similarly, you've made multiple posts, including your prior two, forcefully adding disparaging remarks about Chipotle. They weren?t part of the discussion, but you brought them up when it was pointed out that Chik-Fil-A was closed due to a health inspection issue. Given your history of bigotry, your defense and repeated post of this place?s greatness despite what essentially is just another fried chicken place opening is a natural assumption based on facts. Contrast this with your posts on just about every other restaurant.

You like to claim that they have been widely success due to great food. The reality is that much of their growth success was due to their decision to open stores in rural areas where food options are few and far between. It?s a good decision since it makes money, but that doesn?t mean the food is somehow of more fantastic quality. The anti-gay comments also helped store sales in those rural areas at the time, though they have tried to move away from it since they are expanding into urban areas.

Lastly, you have quite the short term memory. Your need to project politics on me (read all my posts in this thread which disprove your point) is yet another reflective mirror.

Cute. All those links yet you still clearly have absolutely no idea what a strawman is or how your "argument" is a perfect example of it. You also now set forth the bizarre and entertaining notion that your crazy conspiracy theories somehow prove that I praise Chik Fil A "simply because the owner hates gay people."

Oh, and your claim that their phenomenal success isn't due to great food (for its price point), but rather to their decision to open up in rural areas completely falls apart when you see how their NYC sales are also exploding and they are already planning on expanding. Unless of course in the fantasy world you live in, NYC is a "rural area."

Of course, I wouldn't expect anything less from our resident dunce, but at least this time you are amusing.

Let's see, I run down a litany of items proving out that you don't know what you are talking about and are a hypocrite. You respond with ad hominem attacks and the grand argument of "I'm write and you're wrong, so there!" Seems like you've not updated your playbook... Oh well.

Chick Fil A is great though it's disappointing they are jumping on the organic pseudo science bandwagon.

Organic food isn?t the end-all-be-all, but to claim that it is going to make you sick is a bit severe.
