Don't boycott, boycott but don't call it that.

One correction for Sorbo: People weren't boycotting Chik-fil-a for "being christian". There are tens of thousands of businesses that are "christian". It was Chik-fil-a's large donations to homophobic groups and the president of the company at the time Dan Cathy (and current Chairman of the Board) making public homophobic statements.
Be whatever religion you want, but when you use your money and power to repress other people, that's where you earn a boycott.
I’d argue chic-fil-a is especially NOT Christian for refusing to love their neighbor as themselves.
To morons like Sorbo homophobia=Christianity.
Bingo. Exactly why I won't eat there.
I don't think that man can go a month without self owning on social media
I mean, this is a really old tweet. He's tweeted a lot of stupid shit, because he's a moron, but who knows if he's still tweeting self-owns? How would one even find out?
MRW I hear Kevin Sorbo speak or write anything since 1999 when Hercules wrapped.
He's a gold mine for God Awful Movies. As is Kirk Cameron and David A. R. White.
No wonder Sorbo posts so much, it's the only place he has an audience.
I don't think Satan ever donated to organizations that support anti-lgbt groups.
Satan's too busy running United Health.
Well, except for that one time he got sent home.
Damn this guy is so stupid I had to look up "Satan Shoes" because I was sure he meant Satin Shoes...
i thought he was talking about prada
WTF makes shoes out of satin?
Well if you don't like them, don't buy them
Shoes for bridesmaids are often satin because they're easy to dye
People who sell shoes to those with more money than sense
The Systems Commonwealth truly has fallen.
Steve Hofstetter is a great comedian and has the best comebacks. He is wasted on this "explaining words to Kevin Sorbo"-series, there's no character growth, no shred of understanding, no positive character arc, Kevin just keeps mouth-shitting bullpucky every week and Steve or Lucy Lawless or a five year old have to explain to him that he's saying dumb shit.
Steve Hofstetter is a national treasure.
But Lucy Lawless teasing Kevin? That I have to see.
It's a whole thing she's been shooting down his shit-takes for years now.
(Context: Kratos is beating Hercules' face in and he was voice by Sorbo)
Oh, I thought it was that calling out Kevin Sorbo as an idiot was like beating a dead horse.
Nah, can never bash Kevin Sorbo enough.
This is partially my fault. When people started to boycott chick fillet I misheard their call to action and enacted a blockade upon their establishments. He must have seen one of the frigates I had patrolling in the parking lot and mistaken boycott for blockade.
It's not actually that simple.
The difference between boycotting vs "just not eating there" is that the former is a loud movement, instead of a simple quiet preference that the free market will take care of itself.
Kevin is implying that people who don't band together to actively fight wrongdoing are somehow superior. However what he's really advocating for is divide and conquer in order to maintain the status quo.
Steve is usually funny and correct, but this time in doing so has missed a greater, more important, point.
Kevin isn't capable of complex thoughts on that level.
Analyzing it is complex, but the behavior itself is more instinctual. I think Kevin feels the difference, but doesn't think about it rationally.
I do think categorizing Steve's comments as "wrong" vastly oversimplified the exchange, though. He's pulling the emotional argument Kevin is making into a rational one, which is the point of the exchange.
Kevin Sorbo was never intelligent to begin with
The brain damage didn't help. It was after that when he went full red-hat
Dude was already like that. Remember the crappy, dumb Christian films he's been apart of such as "God is not Dead" which completely misses the point of Nietzsche's statement.
Is it true his surname is really Sorbeaux but he kept misspelling it?
Not really. Dude is supposedly of Norwegian descent and not French descent. Would have been funny though.
Oh, peanut.
I'd like to say I boycott chick-fil-A because of the anti gay thing but its because I actually tried it awhile back and was like meh. Certainly not worth the price and that was way before the recent inflation times. Its the same with walmart. Wish it was prinicple but man even the parking lot triggers me. Actually being in the store is just hell.
I never got the whole Chick-fil-A thing. It's just a fast food chicken sandwich. It's good, as far as fast food chicken sandwiches go, but that's it. It's definitely not the orgasmically awesome food experience some people make it out to be.
It's consistently good, and the service is second to none. Every other fast food place has some bad locations, or you show up at the wrong time and it's not fresh, the service is terrible, or the people working there are clearly just not trying.
Chick-Fil-A maintains consistency by limiting their hours and treating their employees better. Their ingredients are also top notch for fast food. Good salads.
And good soda fountains. Chick-Fil-A and Whataburger are the only two places left with good fountain Coke.
I still hate their politics, but there's a reason they've always got a line around the block at lunchtime, and it's not because the service is slow (because it isn't).
I mean I have popeyes around here and no chain holds a candle to their offerings.
Chick-fil-A creeps me out, because people are i n s a n e for it. Like, cars lined up around the block.
I'm confident that it's part of their marketing. Every store near me has a drive-thru line that impedes traffic and/or crosses over itself. I think this is so that you drive past one and cant help but go 'oh! look at how much demand they have,' as you are stuck the the line to get into their line.
Yeah my wife and I drove down to virginia and there was one across from where we were staying and I could not believe the line. Its like if it were cheap with no line I might buy their faire. And I mean I will shell out and wait for quality. There is a non chain burger place by me that has really limited hours run by some brothers. It opens for lunch and then just late enough so folks can pick something up on the way home from work so like 6pm or something. Always has a line and man it is worth it.
Now I want Satan Shoes!
Because of him I can't get into watching Andromeda. Is it even a good show?
The first couple seasons were OK. You're not really missing anything.
I enjoyed it up till the last season. The last season was just dumb and kind of a temporary reset.
Basically Andromeda is 'we have Star Trek Discovery (in the 32nd century) at home.'
All the shit Discovery skipped rebuilding the Federation is basically in Andromeda.
If you can get past the pro religion undertones. But it was a ok show, kinda a cross between Farscape and Star Trek but the worst of both of them.
I enjoyed it. I have the ability to not care about the actors real life personality though. It's an alright show. If you like stargate, -trek and farscape type shows and can see past the actor, you'll probably enjoy it.
