their attack on the fundamental right for a person to choose what to do with their own bodies? (you see, that's how I see it; yes, this requires that my understanding of conception is entirely different form theirs; and as a biologist, I tend to think that I have more functional knowledge than the typical pro-lifer) and by "not entirely that," I refer to other financial support outside of his pro-life views.

but you can keep going with this dickhole of an argument all you want; I'm going to stop here. Care all you want about why or why not I choose to do something, I could give two shits.


This thread is about chicken.

A true "fundamental right" pre-exists a government's legal recognition of it. Many people believe that it is circular reasoning to claim that this "right" over another "body" exists just because of Roe v. Wade. If you believe that one exists here, you must ask yourself: Is the fetus not also entitled to the same right? Why and, most importantly, when? That is what it boils down to and drawing the line earlier than that (@"fundament right") is just ignoring the true issue being debated. Any time someone makes it out to be a purely religious vs. intelligence argument, I know that they have ignorantly made up their minds and are refusing to acknowledge the true position of the other side so that they can insult and belittle them instead of having true, meaningful, constructive, discussion.

So, according to you, science doesn't say that conception is the point at which an individual like, say, you or I, first became an individual with a protected human life. It doesn't say that birth is either. Both are non-arbitrary points in a human's development, but the point where "birth" occurs and life continues can happen over a large range of the child's development, so you can see why that would be the controversial "non-arbitrary point" to choose. An arbitrary choice would be between, say, just randomly choosing between second and third trimester without any specific developmental event to classify it as a protected human life with rights of its own.

CFA's spicy chicken is very good. If only they can get their waffles taste as good as Arby's curly fries = heaven.

I'm a proud Christian, I said all that in an attempt to get the large number of Atheists on here riled up. If anything I'll eat CFA more than anywhere else because I'm religious and love what they do to help out. CFA for teh wins. My posts were inspired by a friend I went to CFA with years ago, he's a hard core Atheist and went ape shit crazy when his sons happy meal came with a Christian themed toy. He looked over and saw his son playing with it and BOOM. I thought he was going to go get a gun and shoot up the place, it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. I asked him if he had noticed the Christian radio station playing in the back ground since we got there. He frowned and got up and left, free waffle fries for me!

I don't think he's ever gone back.

Then your friend is an idiot. I'm a staunch Atheist and I could give a shit. Private business can pretty much do whatever they want with the money they own and their hiring practices as long as they comply with standing law.

In my opinion, Atheists that fly off the handle at the mere mention of God are no better than the raging religious types who fly off the handle at the mere mention that God might not exist.

Lol, I love ATOT. A thread about chicken has now somehow managed to incorporate a religion debate too.

AND abortion!

On top of that, notice how even when talking about something as subjective as the taste of a *chicken sandwich* replys are loaded with the usual drivel of "This is *fact*", "Any *sane* person will *agree* with me"..

It is retarded. For some reason random people on the internet truly believe that have any sort of factual evidence for the taste of a fucking chicken sandwich :biggrin:

On that note, I never get one that often. But Chick-Fil-A works with most of the campus activity groups here, so we get them from the store about 40 miles away and then can buy them here from the fundraiser for $5 with a soda and chip bag.

Works for me and damn tasty IMO compared to the campus cafeteria.

Chick-fil-A is... okay, but with Canes restaurants all over the place here, there's no reason for us to even think about going to Chick-fil-A. The only Chick-fil-A I know of around here is in a mall, which is probably the only reason it can stay in business.

Little known fact: Chik-fil-a didn't just invent the chicken sandwich, they invented the mall food court in 1965. Before they forced the issue and proved that it was a success, developers thought it was a terrible idea because "no one" wanted to eat where they shopped. Yeah, before that they jumped to that conclusion/assumption just because it wasn't the norm yet ("seems weird") and, thus, let circular reasoning prevail.

I'm saying that they aren't as good as this thread makes them out to be and that there are better options, at least here. They're not bad, I wouldn't turn down their food, but they're not that impressive.

Four of us from work went there when they had that free spicy sandwhich. The conclusion was unanimous: Meh.

I did go there fairly often when I was at school because it was the best option.
