Informing consumers of the social effects of their purchases isn't an assault on capitalism. chick fil a has a right to donate money to bigots, but if st marys is truly as inclusive as it claims to be, doing so ought to hurt thrie profit margins. If people want to see less money going to these causes, what else can they do besides not buy the sandwiches and encourage others to do the same. I'm sorry you don't give enough of a crap about your queer friends, peers, and relatives to stop picking a sandwich over their rights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526819716761246177.post-91529542020406697762011-02-09T23:33:28.595-05:002011-02-09T23:33:28.595-05:00So, it seems to me that this country has this econ...So, it seems to me that this country has this economic system in which each individual person has the opportunity to choose whether or not they want to buy something. <br /><br />If you are unhappy with chick-fil-a's donations, don't eat there and don't buy their food from the grind. It's that simple. If enough people stop ordering it from the grind, eventually, the grind will stop selling it because it doesn't make enough money. <br /><br />Don't try to force your own anger at this company on everyone at campus, who, believe it or not, does not have the exact same ideology as you, or who just plain don't give enough of a crap to stop eating some damn good chicken.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526819716761246177.post-15851025470825364382011-02-09T21:06:54.067-05:002011-02-09T21:06:54.067-05:00*QUEER

Do I think that a school such as ours that constantly preaches about how tolerant of everyone we are should carry chich-fil-a? NO! It would be a little different if these candidates were simply against gay marriage but check out their actual platforms and you will find just what these people are advocating! All it takes is a few keystrokes to find out more. Our school, by selling their product is supporting these people, I think it is wrong. But then again isnt that a form of intolerance in itself. So go ahead you chicken murdering gay hating food chain, serve up your pointed agenda promoting specials but I wont be buying them.

I know no fast food chain is completely without fault or corruption, but Chik-Fil-A is unique in that it funds organizations that are homophobic to the extent that its personally offensive (and oppressive) to the LGBTQIA community- many of whom are also a part of the St. Mary's community. I point this out because, as this issue pertains to our campus, I'm less concerned with Chik-Fil-A's politics than I am with making St. Mary's a comfortable, inclusive place for everyone here.I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy...noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526819716761246177.post-35179291663224847252011-02-08T18:51:25.468-05:002011-02-08T18:51:25.468-05:00I'm pretty sure there's no way the campus ...I'm pretty sure there's no way the campus center is going to sell Chipotle.
