I don't eat fast food much at all, but when I do, it is ALWAYS Chick-Fil-A. Their regular chicken sandwich is the BEST of all chicken sandwiches out there and what is great is, no matter where you are, the quality is the same. The people they hire are also very courteous and efficient. Around this time of year they also have the most amazing peach milkshakes! Everyone should try it!

I appreciate the Christian family values of this company and I sincerely hope they do not crumble to the pressure of the few loudmouths of society. If they ever get bought out, then I believe it will be the end of their success, I hope it remains in the family for another hundred years!

Hilarious analysis.

Clearly the cows were taught using the whole language approach.

I have been going more often to this great restaurant. They are great and beautiful people that work there. I had a great grilled chicken sandwhich.

I go to the Woodstock Chick-Fil-A in Georgia. This is one of four that has sit down waitress service with difference in menu too. Great southern recipes. Breakfast too. You would love it. If you live in the Altanta area I was told four like it. I do not remember others but excellent sit down. Also I heard one worker talking to a young new worker about the scholarship program. My jaw dropped that was yesterday . Thousands of dollars towards students and sounds like for workers too. What great Christian people. Please support them!

Put your money where your mouth is while eating! Lol! Literally! I can't say enough about this great organization.

Praise Jesus!

“Many women were taking part in the discussion, and EVERY ONE sided with the homosexuals.”

I don’t know if you will think this appropriate or not, but I’ve had some success with minutely detailed descriptions of what male sodomites get up to. The more detailed the description, the more nausea is produced—usually.

That’s true. I can’t call myself righteous, but I can say with certainty that I will never be bullied into going along with the Godless homosexual agenda.

“Gay” is such a pleasant little word....it really doesn’t describe the nastiness and the perversion of what the lifestyle entails, does it?

That’s why I try not to use it, and often try to persuade others not to.

I also resist other euphemisms, such as “sexual orientation” and “lifestyle.”

Same-sex attraction disorder is just what the name implies: a sexual, psychological, and spiritual disorder.

I agree. “Sodomite” works just fine for me.

You see, I'm somewhat of an English purist. What they do on pretty much all of their advertising/billboards to me is dumbing down society. Intentional misspellings galore (Eat Mor Chikin). Even the name of the company is like that. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I know their chicken is supposed to be better quality blah blah blah...

You may be a scholar of the English language, but you need to study up on trademark law.

Intentional misspellings strengthen a trademark. Consider Google, one of the strongest brands on the planet. It's a misspelling of googol, a noun meaning the number ten raised to the power of 100.

Of course, then along comes cynwoody, and legions of others, who use the verb google (lower-case g) to mean do an internet search on. If Google were to pay its lawyers to send out cease and desist lawyers, it would revive the finances of the USPS.

They speak Cowbonics. Actually, they udder it.

It's just like Ebonics, except it is spoken by intelligent beings.

Enjoyed Chick-Fil-A for dinner tonight, washed down with an awesome peach shake.

Think I’ll be going back.

Now a few days removed from when I posted my mini-rant about how the cows at Chick-fil-A spelled things and seeing the moral battle the company is now enmeshed in, when I’m in the area of one a CFA, I will visit there and gladly spend my money. I’ll pretend I don’t notice the misspellings.

One of my Mama's friends was visiting once, when Mama was at my house, in NJ, and we were watching one of the network flagship stations out of NYC. A story came on about a 'gay pride' parade, and my Mama's friend asked me to explain how homosexuals have sex with each other. This woman was in her 70s at this point, so I was reluctant to give her that mental image, but she persisted, so I told her, and thought she was gonna throw up; she was completely disgusted!

I’m really disappointed there aren’t any Chik-Fil-A’s in my part of the country. They sound like a wonderful company with great food and strong values.
