"Throughout the conversations Dan expressed a sincere interest in my life, wanting to get to know me on a personal level. He wanted to know about where I grew up, my faith, my family, even my husband, Tommy. In return, I learned about his wife and kids and gained an appreciation for his devout belief in Jesus Christ and his commitment to being "a follower of Christ" more than a "Christian." Dan expressed regret and genuine sadness when he heard of people being treated unkindly in the name of Chick-fil-a --but he offered no apologies for his genuine beliefs about marriage."

BOB is displaying some of that liberal nuance he insists that he does not posess. What you wrote is actually spelled "hear hear!"

True.

But in the gatorcountry forum could not "here here" work better than "hear hear" (the standard) since there is no vocal communication but a calling to the location of a site with good content?

Dave's just mad he was unable to give me some of his patented "comedy lessons" in this thread.

I don't know of a single person who either boycotted or made this joint a regular visit over this issue. And I'm glad about that.

I personally love that they're closed on Sundays and I'm am decidedly non-religious. I also am not threatened by same sex marriage in any way but philosophically I support an organization's right to vocalize opposition to this and pretty much any other issue and let the chips fall where they may.

But thank goodness these non-issues exist to provide non-news for the booming non-news channel business.

You mean it isn't hear here?

What a great example of Christian values Dan Cathy has set through the actions illustrated in the article. We should all strive to be so humble and respectful of our neighbors, no matter who they are.

Hear! Hear! Especially this (bolded).

Ah respect for others. Soon to be on the political extinction list.

Shorter version: He's respectful of people he thinks will burn in hell for eternity.

Even if it is as you say, hyperbole notwithstanding, nothing wrong or contradictory in it. People cheat on their spouses, are impersonable bastards, whatever about them sets you off, you can still treat them respectfully and civilly, even genuinely respect them in some context.

Don't know if you're just trying to make a joke, but that's not the tone I got from the article at all. Seems like Cathy made a sincere effort to make amends, even if his own personal beliefs conflict with the viewpoints of gay rights activists. Hell, he even quietly showed that Chick-Fil-A stopped supporting the militant anti-gay organizations. He put his money where his mouth was - and not publicly. That speaks volumes about his integrity.

I think it speaks more of his business sense than integrity.

Sure. I mean, I didnt think he was a monster. Most people aren't, despite their prejudices and bigotry. Other than image & brand rehab, I'm not sure what the purpose of an article like this is.

Edit: Incidentaly, a friend of mine picked up on this an mentioned he might be lifting his self-imposed ban on Chick-Fil-a. Seems the image rehab is working.

Is there a problem with this? Do you, for instance care what I think of you? Do you think I care what you think of me?

I think this line of questioning does indicate that you care what I think to some extent.
