Any Special Eats When Far From Home?

Simmer down, Fred.  Try accepting the fact that there are people with other opinions in the world, and get along with them.

Simmer down yourself and practice what you preach dear hippy.  This all started because you wanted to launch on Chick-fil-a.  You couldn't let somebody like them (an opposing view to yours) so rather than leave it be (i.e. get along) you had to troll.  I think the term is hypocrisy.  Look it up.

Fred, I simply stated their food isn't terrible, but I don't patronize them because they support hate groups.  This is my decision, I never derided anyone for liking their food, I just laid out my opinion for what it's worth.

What I said was "They're not terrible.  I just don't dig chicken sandwiches.  And they supported hate groups, so I just don't give them my money, just like I don't give any groups that support terrorism or hate money."

This (chkfla meddling with their non-profits) is well documented and has become a symbolic lightning rod between various ideologies).

Act 2: Then some guy (onedbguru) went off the reservation (of civility) and said "Hate groups??? I can think of no group that hates more than all of the leftist groups. Those who want to destroy Family and even FREE Speech."

Act 3: (much later on because I really don't care) I list the groups that they support that are dedicated to reducing, as a matter of record.  Also in my response I listed the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). 

Intermission:  Let me point out that the SPLC is a respected group that fights against what you would call groups that do unchristian like stuff.  The KKK is what spawned them.  They fight for the civil rights of groups of people that are marginalized.  They don't have any interest in destroying family or free speech.  The irony, is, the people that trumpet onedbguru's rhetoric are clearly hiding behind catchwords of "freedom" and "family" but really they are against other people wanting to marry who they love, do what they want, etc without an oppressive environment.  They really want the opposite.  Laws to limit freedom, suppress free speech that they don't agree with because of their religion or ideology. Irony.

Act 4: Mind you, I've not called anyone names or attacked any ultra right wing radicals, or even called anyone that, overtly.  You say: "Must you pollute every discussion with your ultra liberal political crap?  Siting the Southern Poverty Law Center (an ultra liberal activist organization) for your proof is a bit biased.  Anyway, we're just talking food here. Why don't you "Feel the Bern" someplace else? "

I reply "No".  And put a link to the group so you can learn about the good work they do.  Side note: We're talking about fast food on a bbq forum that's about home-cooked food?  Interesting "hypocrisy" there.  Look it up, as you said.

Act 5: onedbguru feels like any group that disagrees with his world view is a hate group.  He says:   "Sorry, but SPLC is the worst of all hate groups. They spew hate at anything they do not agree with.  Just sayin'... "

Commentary on Act 5:  How are they a hate group when they hate hate groups? Oh, because they disagree with your ultraconservative views. 

Act 6: You call me liberal bla bla bla after I just say simmer down get along.  Can't we all just get along?  

(sigh). 

Epilogue: I'm tired.  Good nite, Fred.

I'm glad I got to read most of this before it gets nuked.  Highly entertaining!

I find it funny that only conservative businesses are examined.  Let's check out who supports Planned Parenthood with their abortion and baby parts retail business.  Much more hate involved in this I think.

As mentioned by others, I don't care what companies do with their money but I do find it disingenuous that charities donate to other charities. Why would American Cancer Society need to donate to PP or any other charity? Last time I checked there wasn't a cure for cancer so it seems like they need the money. If I give money to a specific charity, it should stay there. 

They funnel those donations to a whole host of entities who do cancer research, treatment, and screenings.  The grants they've provided to Nobel laureates for cancer research, for example, certainly haven't represented money that has "stayed" with ACS.

Hey @nolaegghead,

Why do you think Chick Filet is closed on Sunday?

Hate?

As far as the SPLC.... They list the American Border Patrol and a group that tried to block free benefits to illegal aliens. Black Lives Matter apparently isn't a hate group. I mean... Special rights, segregation, call for killing, a designated part of town to burn.   

Doing some traveling later this week. Will make a point to eat fast food at some point. Any fast food. Will enjoy it, too.

Yeah when I am driving more than 4-5 hours it is definitely fast food.  Sometimes I take it to a new level and eat gas station food.  One of these days I am going to brave the tamale from RaceTrac.  

How many miles do you think those have on them?

Yeah I think that is why I haven't tried them.  I don't think I would get far before I had to make another emergency stop.  The gas station tamale is probably best consumed while sitting on the toilet.  

No pic, but I swear I saw some Hispanic kids eating those tamales last week.  This is Dalton, people, there's a Mexican joint in every corner!

I am so glad the buffalo decided to sleep in today. 

So now . . . Fred's okay with discussing politics?
  

The latter has merit.

i didnt notice anything in scrapple that tasted like sausage when i tried it, it was more like they cooked it on a salt block, then fed me the salt block

My neighbor dropped off about 8# of homemade scrapple the other weekend.
He helps a friends family every year when they do their butchering. Usually a steer and a couple of hogs. They do it the first weekend in February and again in March.
They make their own scrapple from the trimmings of the hogs and steer along with trimmings from deer season.
This is the only scrapple my wife and I eat, other than some from the local butcher.
Needs to be sliced thin and fried crispy. Served with either ketchup or locally made apple butter.

Classic.
