Chik-fil-A & other stupid shit.

OK I havent written for awhile. There are reasons for that. I've covered a few of them. But due to things that happened over the last week I feel compelled to bitch a little.

So, hang on, I'm gonna let the feathers fly.

First, I'm not gay. I'm as straight as an arrow. Usually first thing in the morning. Occassionally when out in public which is just another reason I draw attenetion.

This Chik-fil-A thing......It disgusts me. I dont care what your religious beliefs are. Practice them all you want. But don't fuckin force your opinions on me. Chik-fil-A hasnt done that. What they have done is taken a side on a very combustible & controversial issue. You dont believe in gay marriage Mr. Cathy? Fine. But when you publicize that & fly it under your company's banner don't get upset when a large portion of the population disagrees & boycotts your product.

For clarification here's EXACTLY what was said. In it's proper context. I also agree with the commentary that follows. You may not but I do & it's my fuckin' blog so suck it.:p

There is no reason that I can see why the LGBT community shouldnt have the same rights as anyone else in this country. The people in support of Chik-fil-A would argue that marriage is the union between a man & a woman.

Well that really depends on what religion you happen to believe in or if you don't believe in religion at all.

And for the record, I dont see any modern day "Christians" sacrificing lambs on an altar or staying away from pork. That's right you redneck hypocrite sonsofbitches. No more fucking barbecue for you. It's a sin. Read the book you keep thumpin' on.

As an agnostic theist (look it up) I have studied almost all of the major world religions to some degree or another. I've been referred to as a "seeker"

That basically means I don't believe the stories. Any of them. I have a high IQ & am analytical in nature. I need some fact backing my forthrighteousness.

What harm does it do to you? What's the real problem? Uncomfortable with gays? Is it fear? What does it matter to you?

Seriously, your neighbors being gay does not make any difference to your way of life as far as I can tell. So whats the problem?

It comes down to religious & political beliefs. Well as Bono so eloquently put it, "My God isn't short of cash mister." And to oppose is to divide the people into subcategories (little boxes on the hillside. little boxes made of ticky tacky.) which makes it all too easy for the political machine to manipulate



So, that's kinda it. My stance on Chik-fil-a is a big go fuck yourself. I won't eat there. I won't support an organization that opposes my views. Thats democracy people. If you think that separation, divide & conquer, oppression are the things you support then by all means go eat that crap. BTW, check the nutrional info. Better yet, HERE! I did it for ya. And notice how "easy" it isnt to actually get the info as to whats in this shit. http://www.chick-fil-a.com/Food/Menu

It's amazing to me how people cannot or will not allow others the same freedoms or even to share their personal views without being bullied, threatened or attacked.

So that guy likes to suck dick. Big deal. And she feels more masculine & loves toys & the feminine mystique. Who cares? Get off the Puritan standard of sexuality perpetuated in this country since its founding by white european zealots. Slavery didnt work. Most of the laws in this country are fucked up. What does it matter if a couple homosexuals take advantage of the same tax breaks you exploit or pay into a health insurer. Someone prove to me I'm wrong on this. PLEASE. I beg you. Without using YOUR religion & encompassing what is good for all people of this country, prove me wrong.

Now I got unfriended the other day for sharing this view. Rick Polk. Some of you know him. And I have no problem naming names on this. My opinion is he is a racist, hate monger. He gets off on guns & porn & beer.

Now I like guns & porn & beer too but all within reason. Let's try to stay balanced & reasonable shall we? When you physically threaten another human being because their views are different than yours. Because they are different from you thats ignorance. It's loss of intellectual talent to be able to continue to support your own view & argument & rather than concede a point or even allow for something other than your view to exists. Moreover, it's illegal. Thats right kiddies, it's whats known these days as a terroristic threat & in GA it carries a potential penalty of 5 yrs in prison.

Trust me, I know a little about this law. So Ricky, you get a pass. I'm just that kind of guy. But next time you print a threat, I'll exercise my rights under the Republican gov't you so proudly support.

That's all. I'm spent. Try to be tolerant. Try to actually practice what is preached. Be excellent to each other.

PEACE

  2. CAN YOU SAY "IN YOUR FACE!"- That was some of the best literature I've read of yours (besides the one about your mom). I would love to re-post this anonymously one day soon if thats ok with you- the part about your views on Chic Fil A, religion and politics, LOVE IT. Couldnt have said it any better myself.
    The majority of the people in this country have become "morally bankrupt".

    You, Mr. Miller, need an entire column of your own in the Atlanta Journal Constitution...

    1. Literature???? I'm not sure about that. Thanx for the support though.

      I'd dig a column. Not sure I'm focused or sane enough for mainstream media.

  3. We all understand how you feel. It would just be nice if you could talk to people instead of talking at them. You might get less defriending. Speech is a freedom, just as you have it here. If that is how he feels then - fine - who cares? We all think differently and have our own oppinions. It just seems sad that you can't see both sides of the coin.

  4. I fully support his right to free speech. I just dont agree with his opinion. And in this country I'm fortunate enough to be able to express that any way I choose. Aint that cool. What I don't like is the way he did it or the fact that so much money goes to groups that are overtly intolerant. That bugs me. But even still they have their rights as well. As far as the unfriending on FB. Whatever. If you choose to break away from me so be it. And while I can be a little preachy from time to time this blog is a way for me to rant if I want. Dont like it? Dont read it!!! Lastly, yes you have the choice to remain anonymous but your words lack a certain credibility when you make that choice. I have the guts to stand up & put it out there. Why cant you do the same in return?
