another organization to protest?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Possibly. Maybe.

http://www.pbs.org/parents/martha/sponsors/index.html

Just wondering.

Oh, and... http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/08/01/chick-fil-not-alone-in-touting-religion-alongside-products/#ixzz22MfwyODj

I frankly think the protesting is stupid. Just wondering if people will follow through their convictions.
:corn:

Protesting sometimes gets things done.

Im speaking of worthwhile protesting.

:lol I hear ya but I ask this in respect to the stupidity being done towards Chick-fil-a

[mrsmaalox]

So if you don't agree with a protest, it's not worthwhile?

[JoeChalupa]

Im speaking of worthwhile protesting.

If it gets things done/changed it is worthwhile to the protesters.

[JoeChalupa]

So if you don't agree with a protest, it's not worthwhile?

That was my thought.

Nope.

Wrong, too

Typical Faux News shit, equating normal religious expression that doesn't infringe on anyone's life, liberty or property to Chik-fil-A's widespread funding and outspoken support of legalized bigotry.... this just gives asshole fundamentalist Christians another excuse to play the victims and pretend like their rights are being infringed, even though they're the ones with the power....

So you think they have different views than chick-fil-a?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

And how do you feel about pbs funding them?

[Drachen]

There is nothing in the articles that you posted to equate those companies to the reasons that chick-fil-a is being protested.

[Drachen]

And how do you feel about pbs funding them?

LOL, even more proof that you don't know what you are talking about... PBS isn't funding anyone.

[ChumpDumper]

Who knows? If it comes out that they're funding lobbying in favor of gay marriage bans at home and "Kill the Gays" legislation abroad like Chik-fil-A does, they're equally worthy of scorn and backlash, tbh....

However, merely hiring a chaplain or choosing to not open on Sundays isn't anywhere near equivalent to funding legalized oppression.... it's a red herring meant to make the Christian majority feel oppressed and obscure the real reason for the crowds at Chik-fil-A: pure homophobia....

Maybe not directly but on their website and tv commercials they are

Don't know what i'm talking about :lol

I don't watch any of those programs. Nice "try" though.

"PBS KIDS and MARTHA SPEAKS would like to acknowledge our corporate sponsors, whose valued support of our mission makes it possible to empower, educate and inspire children in shcool and in life."

CFA is one of their corporate sponsors, not the other way around.

Unsurprisingly, not a single mention in that Fox News article about CFA's donations to anti-gay groups, which is where this whole controversy started. That's what people were protesting, and that's why Cathy was asked about his feelings on traditional marriage in the first place.

Don't you think that's an important part of the story that should be at least acknowledged if you're going to compare them with other companies that have faith-based initiatives? Maybe a little? Why would Fox News leave that out? It's as thought they're trying to guide their readers' opinions on the issue in some way. How strange.

[ChumpDumper]

Nice complete failure on your part tbh.

So you think everyone that ate at cfa hates homosexuals? That they want to "kill them gays"?

Does that really matter? Hasn't it been reported ad naseum now. The title of the article is "Chick-fil-A not alone in touting religion alongside products".

[cantthinkofanything]

who gives a fuck. all these people boycotting CFA because they hate gays? if someone is going to take a stand based on the ethics or beliefs of a corporation, they better be prepared to quit buying gas, electronics, packaged food, etc.

Wasn't "support of traditional marriage" (transparent coded language for "ban gay marriage") billed as the biggest reason why most of the people were there?

And even then, regardless of the reason, any Chik-fil-A customer's money could be going to groups that tirelessly work to "oppress them gays"....

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I didn't know adding words to something and italicizing it wasn't directed towards me, per se
Whatever makes you happy chump :lol

Ah ok. So now you'll cancel your pbs membership?

I can honestly say I've never watched PBS in my life, and I don't plan on starting anytime soon, tbh.....

I didn't know your ego couldn't allow for even the possibility that a parody statement was merely a parody statement.

Whatever makes you fap at the thought of yourself. :lol

[mrsmaalox]

LOL so you think maybe all the traditional marriage, First Amendment supporters who lined up to support Chik-Fil-A yesterday will be equally as willing to give up some of their hard earned $$ to show support for PBS now? :lmao

anyone that uses computers is indebted to a gay man:



Turing's homosexuality resulted in a criminal prosecution in 1952, when homosexual acts were still illegal in the United Kingdom. He accepted treatment with female hormones (chemical castration) as an alternative to prison. Turing died in 1954, just over two weeks before his 42nd birthday, from cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined that his death was suicide; his mother and some others believed his death was accidental. On 10 September 2009, following an Internet campaign, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government for "the appalling way he was treated". As of May 2012 a private member's bill was before the House of Lords which would grant Turing a statutory pardon if enacted.
