A little of a newsflash, but they're all pretty similar.

their similarities explain the communism beating in my chest

actually, you'd be quite surprised at the companies which i refuse to trade with, on the basis of my social and political beliefs. and my contempt for McD's was helped along nicely, some years ago, by a dose of food poisoning which they provided, free of charge, and which suddenly arose (geddit?) whilst sat in a canoe, on choppy water and in the path of an armada of racing boats


as for you having been an employee of McPuke's, i don't think that you'll have to suffer any derisory comments from members here; even i've worked in a pizza shop. but, i guess that all things considered, it's no surfries that you were involved in some sort of burgery


just as a matter of interest, what kind of work are you doing now?

On the topic of the AFA, how does homosexuality possibly affect the ever changing american family, and why ON EARTH do these people go so far out of their way to protest against someone else's civil rights?

Same here. The AFA doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, they boycotted WaldenBooks to try and persuade them to stop selling Penthouse and PlayBoy(Which I read. It has some good articles.). That just doesn't make any sense to me. Neither does the Boycott against Mconald's. They support gays. Get over it!

Nothing too demanding, well...

I'm a partner in a new business, although it's not making a profit yet, so I will unfortunately need another job to live on in the meantime.

My pastor announced he was supporting this bullshit a couple months ago.

Nevermind all the other things McDonalds does, like Ronald McDonald House...Childrens Hospital...all the insane good work they do through charities and stuff like that. If something like giving support to the gay rights movement is going to make you quit eating at McDonalds you've got some serious life issues to work out.

My very Christian family and I went to eat out at McDonalds immediately following that sermon I mentioned.

I think that even if it's for money/ press, having the cajones to join is still admirable.

But very few people will really boycott, people love McDonalds too much. If Wal-Mart did the same thing, I doubt even the president of the AFA would stop shopping there. We are too cheap.
