@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

I am with JL on this one. Got in a big argument with all 5 roommates and their girlfriends about this two days ago.

If I had thought for another minute I would have pointed out that by smoking cigarettes, they are giving ~5$ a day to a company that literally kills millions of Americans.

That cigarette thing is not relevant in any way here, sorry.

I agree. Now if they were taking their cigarette profits and spending it to deny rights to non smokers it would be close.

The tobacco industry spends its profits on lobbying to ensure they can continue killing people (parents, siblings, friends, lovers, etc) with their toxic products. I guess you are right that that is not the same as hurting people's feelings.

One is a company selling something dangerous.  The other is people rallying behind a fuck*ng chicken restaurant because their president hates gay people just like them!  There is no connection in my mind.  If you can show me that connection I'd be happy to change my mind.  If I ate meat I may or may not still eat from there, but I sure as fuck would not have yesterday.  I actually probably wouldn't eat there either, not because of money so much as just not wanting to look pro-homophobia in any way (cuz that's fuck*ng stupid).

Anyway, both of those things should be aloud in the USA, so it doesn't really matter?  It only matters if you ate at chick fil a yesterday to support an anti gay agenda, cause then you are a dick.  I actually called my mom yesterday to remind her that, no matter what I do or how I embarrass her I won't be at any paterno or cfa rally's, so I can only be a fuck up for my lifetime.  The future will not see pictures of me being a fuck up.  I cannot imagine a similar perspective w cigarettes?

I thought the company itself actually gave financial contributions to these groups that, among other things, lobby against gay marriage? If that's the case I think the chain of causality makes a boycott pretty justified. Not that I'm going to judge anyone who eats their chicken, I cause way more human suffering with most of my daily spending choices.

I tried the conservative christian hate chicken tonight and it was pretty good. Later I had some gay friendly KFC.

I saw that clip before and I think Mr.Goodman says it best: "Personally, I don't give a shit. You're all just a bunch of money mouths talking and eating." That is the kind of ambivalence most companies should have towards such things as gay marriage.

IMHO this conversation could/should have ended with Keith's last comment.

Last week I hid a whole bunch of people from my Facebook feed and it felt really good, like getting a haircut.

Just a minute ago one of my friends posted some outrageous bullshit and I started to debunk it. I caught myself in mid Google. I went back to Facebook and hid them from my newsfeed instead. It felt good.

i dropped like 30 people from my friends list a couple weeks ago. because they're basically strangers who i've met once or twice, not because they've offended me. though there's one guy who uses SO MANY APPS i feel like unfriending him would be easier than blocking every app

None of my friends enjoy me calling the mayor a "racist shitbag."

I find it really weird to be in an argument where my aggressive, angry roommate is saying that it is more important for a politician to be "civil," and I am saying that they should call each other out on being racist shitbags.

This city doesn't need more polite politicians. It needs people who know what the fuck is going on. I would totally vote for an asshole who advances the interests of citizens.
