How does this happen? Chick-fil-A branded as anti-gay?

[The Mad Monk]

Doesn't stop a lot of douchebag American companies by trying. A few are proudly boycotting Alberta oil, instead using oil from countries with human rights issues.

Wait, what?

Who, and over what?

[Kidlicious]

You're going to drive up to, say, a southern baptist congregation here in Texas. Grab a sign and start calling all of the congregants pedophiles.

Good luck with that!

What do you think would happen?

[Kidlicious]

Let's say oil is fungible.

Canada immediately cuts off all oil supply to the USA.

How do they make up the shortfall?

Do they buy more from the ME? Great -- how does it get there? Oh, there are no tankers sitting idle waiting to send massive amounts of oil across the world to make up for it. You'd need to build them all, and all of the port facilities

Now you have all of your oil coming in on a port. How do you get that across the nation? You'd need to build massive new pipeline networks to transport the oil inland. That takes many years...

Let's say we invade your ass!

[The Mad Monk]

Let's not and say we did.

[Kidlicious]

Let's not and say we did.

I'm just sayin'.

Well, as Sling blade says - "some folk just needed killin' "

Seriously, even in my Catholic parish quite a few of the men carry. Don't piss them off unless you want to put your life in their hands.

Then after that would they go back in the church and talk about forgiveness and loving their enemies?

Sure there are plenty worse ways to go. This is quick.

damn, DP.

Seriously Kid - if you need to be told that going down to Texas walking to a big congregation and waving a sign crying out 'Christians are pedophiles' is a bad idea, maybe you need to actually try doing it...

Wait, what?

Who, and over what?

Oh, just some no name companies.

Walgreens, Levi Strauss, Timberland, The Gap, Whole Foods, Bed Bath & Beyond, and FedEx

Bizarrely, Chiquita (of Banana fame) has recent announced they're somehow boycotting Alberta oil also.

Wait until you're married and your wife asks you if you think her jeans make her ass look big ...

If some of those people in your parish would kill a person just because the person was verbally harassing them, then those people in your parish are NOT Christian.

Good article.

Maybe I'll go down there and call them a bunch of hypocrites.

Great. Kill people because they insulted you. You're still going to kill loinburger?
