Homophobes boycott McDonald's

[_The Nehor]

I fail to see how boycotting McDonalds could be a bad thing. Hopefully some of these upset people are obese and will find a small correction here.

Coggins,

You are in open rebellion against the Chicago School and I hereby call you to repentance. I suggest you drop your reading of hobby blogs for a season and dust the thick, black dust off your copy of "Capitalism and Freedom" and read from it at least 30 minutes a day.

I fear if you don't mend your ways, you'll one day be sweating bullets at the Judgment Bar of Christ and Joseph Smith when Milton Friedman stands with arm to square and bears testimony against you.

Lol, Gad, your Chicago School jokes drew me in from the Lurkosphere...

Now that I think about it, that photo of Milton Friedman with poised pencil that one used to see so often in the late 70's was actually a sly masonic gesture...

They've already boycotted Sears, Kohl's, Kmart, Target, Old Navy and IKEA. As a result, they're naked and don't have anywhere to sit. The McDonald's boycott follows boycotts of Burger King, Carl's Jr., 7-11, Proctor & Gamble and Kraft...

[_Droopy]

This says nothing regarding homosexual feelings or attraction, who's genesis is complex and obtuse.

I am simply interested in finding out how the genesis of homosexual attraction can possibly be obtuse?

Can anyone help on this one? Droopy?

That was ABSTRUSE, college boy!

No, its obtuse Mr. Wizard:

Not distinctly felt: an obtuse pain.

No homosexual can pinpoint the origin or genesis of his or her feelings, nor can the brain sciences or genetics. The origins are obtuse; they are indistinct, obscure, unclear. That was the intent of my usage of the term.

Next time you go off a diving board, make sure its into your own pool; mine is empty at the moment (and learn how to use a thesaurus).

Perfect! I can't stop laughing.

Since neither of you understand a word Friedman ever wrote, what's so funny?

Hmmm... Questionable and certainly not anywhere near being a standard usage. I forget that you, like many other autodidacts, are on a never-ending quest to sound sophisticated. Archaizing language and obscure usages are dead giveaways.

The Oxford English Dictionary lists this usage as "obsolete." Next time you go dirt diving in the land of English diction, think again. You only end up looking like the tool you really are.

[_EAllusion]

While Coggins is not staying at Hotels, Inns or resorts from Marriott, Hilton, Wyndham, Hyatt, Ramada, etc. he should ponder if any of his investments are related to these companies. There might need to be serious rethinking of his assets.

I also realize that my food advice before was far from complete. After all, it's not as though Coggins needs to eat out. But when he eats, he should make sure not to get food from Albertson's, Hornbacher's, Bigg's, Shoppers, Cub Foods, Acme, Lucky, Farm Fresh, Jewel-Osco, Save-a-lot, Shop 'n Save, Star Market, Bristol Farms, Shaw's, and W. Newell & Co.

It's no sweat. There's lots of other grocery stores out there, big and small. Droopy might want to consider going to Whole Foods in order to get some tasty organic food and do some undercover work on the leftists.

Naah. You just don't really know how the word is used, and you thought it was the same as 'abstruse'.

It's like when we found out you thought 'normative' was a classy way of saying 'normal'.

This kind of malapropism is the natural product of your kind of self-education. Try being proud of it rather than trying to hide it. The search for knowledge is a good thing. Keep searching, though.

Seems we were on the same wavelength here.
