You’ve got to lurk a bit harder. There’s a tremendous amount of great stuff on FR. I just couldn’t resist when I saw Eller’s values so clearly laid out like that...

Thanks anyhow.

The only people guilty of possibly suppressing someones free speech rights are the Mayors and other elected officials threatening to the use the power of government to punish a private citizen for expressing their views. If Mr. Cathy weren't the owner, he could have been fired for his comments, and Adam Smith should have been fired for sheer stupidity.

Right - you put the company you work for in a bad light you deserve to get fired. The moron should have thought first of what he was going to do before he opened his mouth. Words do have consequences and when it reflects badly on the company you work for, well then .... as I said before. If he had a beef (no pun) with Chick-Fil-A he should have taken it to corporate rather than berating an employee. He was a total jerk and got what he deserved.

ROTFLMAO!

That's great and no darn way was it a waste of time.

Complete assigned tasks – He got his free water & severely damaged Chick-fil-A’s business by extracting a costly Styrofoam cup & filtered tap water with ice

My favorite, loved it.

“He was a total jerk but so sure of himself that he posted that video expecting to be congratulated but we know what happened”

Exactly right. Just the opposite of what he thought was going to happen happened. Could not happen to a nicer liberal.

Exactly. If I were to vent my opinion on a certain subject in public I would be sure I wouldn’t embarrass the company I work for. In this case this is what that jerk did. He vented on an employee who could do nothing about what he was yakking about. His video has now gone viral and the only thing he can do now is go to his room and hide under a blanket for the next several years.

I love how this guy claims he is hetero. Let’s be clear: (1) hateful (2) cycling charity (3) faggy glasses (4) CV mentions 4 sons no wife. This guy is obviously gay. Good riddance.

From his Facebook page:

Adam Smith
The more I think about Chick-fil-a's bigotry, the sadder I am. And all the support they are getting from bigots and racists, it's... wow, just wow. Who would have thought that in XXI century, USA still is such a closed minded, reactionary place.

Actually, another thing that motivated me is that my 17 year old daughter got a summer job at CFA a couple of months ago. Knowing her demeanor this is just the way she & most of her fellow workers would have handled this jerk.

She busted her tail yesterday working 10 hours until 9:30pm. Then she woke up at 5am this morning to open at 6am.

Publicly humiliating one’s employer often has unpleasant consequences. I am transitioning to full-time consulting, and have gone out of my way to not embarrass my current employer - for this very reason.

Good on your daughter! She’s a hard worker and you should be proud of her as I know you are.

How much did that “free water” cost, Mr. Smith?

Maybe he was just fired because he was supposed to be at work instead of waiting in line for free water, LOL.

I don't think he really understands what a bigot is. Because it's a "person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his own opinion or prejudices"... Sounds like a discription of his actions.

support they are getting from bigots and racists,

Sure, I'm a racist. Fish belly white middle aged veteran. Last girlfriend's family came from Trinidad/Tobago. Sure. I'm racist. NOT.
