Things close on a sunday? Now that should be illegal

[lshlarson]

Nothing closes in San Francisco on Sunday. If anything, it's open later. Perhaps that has something to do with us being the USA's Atheist Capital.

and a lot of liquor stores to name a few.

Thats a legal thing, not a choice they make.

First off, no one is bitching about his right to free speech, people are raging about his choice that he decided to share with his free speech. Opponents like to say that people are bitching about free speech where this is not the case in the slightest. If anything, people who are more of a support of free speech than him by exercising their right to counter his comments with anti-chick-fil-a action and using it as a rally point again them for the sake of gay marriage.

I'm getting very sick of people saying it's about attacking free speech.

Really the CEO seemingly can say whatever they want to say, I believe people are on the wrong side of the argument. People have got to stop viewing all of Chick-Fil-A as anti-gay, for exmaple, many gay employees do work there.

Heck, they have good chicken nuggets. Unless you are ultra-lefties and are so picky about what you do, I think people need to stop over-reacting when a CEO doesn't like something politics, but when the company starts being specifically rude to the people, not just a CEO, that's past the line.

Anyway, here's something I saw in News I might bring up.

Why Ultra-Lefties Don't Do Takeout

Chick-Fil-A? - Anti-gay
Dominos Pizza? - pro-life
Sushi? - endangered
Chinese - sweatshops

Americans are smart enough to put Sunday with Chick-fil-a being closed. Actually though, many major chains are closed on Sunday. Hobby Lobby, some IKEA's, and a lot of liquor stores to name a few.

Just pointing this out, Hobby Lobby is christian and they don't deny it. but not politically, they just offer mostly christian things, and it is generally an official christian store.
