I have never had a chicken sandwich from McDonald’s that did not include at least one bite of fat or gristle. That’s why I refuse to eat chicken there and only eat the Filet-o-fish.

Until they get actual good chicken that has been butchered properly, I’ll still go to Chick-fil-A.

I don’t know what is confusing you. This Salty Waitress letter said, specifically, that the target is a politician who has “done harm to many of my causes.” They don’t label the person a Nazi or a white supremacist.

So, again, we are not talking about Nazis, either literally or figuratively. You are conflating the

No, we literally AREN’T talking about Nazis. This article is about confronting a politician, not a white supremacist. I guess you could argue that a literal Nazi is in our government and that’s a person you should be aggressive toward, but I don’t think that’s what you are saying.

You are arguing in bad faith.

You are correct that you didn’t mention those things.  I never said you did.  But you are commenting on an article about that specific topic (“confronting” or “punishing” a politician in a restaurant) so I mentioned it.  It’s not like this is a discussion about fast food being unhealthy and I randomly brought up

I worked at a Mr. Bulky’s in Wichita, KS, in high school.

When you spit on someone or kick them out of a restaurant, do you really think you have changed their mind? Will their policies change? Of course not.

All you did was make yourself into a huge prick (not you specifically, of course) while confirming to that politician that his view of the “other side” is correct and

You should do what you suggest by contacting their offices and voicing your opinion. You shouldn’t do it in public as part of your job.

Let’s say I’m anti-abortion. (Am I?) According to your logic, I should harangue people who have had abortions or support Planned Parenthood if they come into my business.

Because that’s what you’re saying: that your personal beliefs should dictate how you treat people in public.

“This isn’t something you can answer in one pat sentence...”

Uh, actually it is. Be kind to others, even when you disagree with them.

If you aren’t kind, you *are* the jerk. It’s not your place to “teach them a lesson” by confronting them.

We’re not talking about actual Nazis, here.

Anyone who disses Sour Patch Kids is not a real American.  They are the best sour candies on the market by far.

So, my daughters made me buy this last night. For them. But I ate half of one of the sandwiches (which was a big piece of chicken, not a “chicken finger” as mentioned below) and actually kind of enjoyed it. My daughters - ages 12, 9, and 7 - really liked it and want to eat it again some time.

It’s not something I would

The time I felt fireworks...

My extended family owns a couple of lakes in the midwest and have built cabins on them. One time a few of us were out there shooting off fireworks over the lake (it wasn’t the 4th of July - it was just something to do) when an uncle brought out a cardboard box with a fuse sticking out of

Portland Police’s claims were unverified. So are yours. Can you prove that only vegan coconut milkshakes were thrown?

Gah.  Both sides need to chill out.  Maybe share a milkshake.

The toilets actually have sinks built into the top, as in prisons.  It is potable, clean water, and the residents aren’t actually drinking from a toilet.  Details are important.

That’s a good solution I didn’t think of.

There’s an updated story in the New York Times that says this particular family was *not* coming to America for asylum from violence. They were coming for “the American Dream,” in the words of their family members.

That has nothing to do with Trump. They were turned away at the border because they were not actually

Racists?  Do tell.

This analysis is disingenuous. AOC said (and Tweeted) “Never Again.” That’s a direct reference to the Holocaust, which means she was definitely referencing Nazis.

The illegal immigrants in our detention centers are free to leave and go back to their home countries. They aren’t prisoners. But they have to be processed

I bought Chick-fil-A for a neighbor who had never had it and she was blown away. Her friend took a bite and said “It’s actual chicken! It’s not, like, nugget patties, it’s real chicken!”

I think the food quality is reason #1. I’ve never had a bad meal there.  The excellent service is reason #2.  They are not only

It was “five kids and a dual income” until my wife left me and married my best friend.  So the unwise choices weren’t mine...
