I live in Australia. Look in Canberra, Sydney, Adelaide. Your top fried chicken place is still gonna be KFC. I'd bet the same is true for the other capital cities and smaller towns - I live in a small town with a KFC, McDonalds and Subway re: fast food.

I would try Popeyes, personally. If they tried to set up Chik-Fil-A I'd hope some bastard burned the fuckers to the ground.

Globally, KFC is stills on top. But even here the quality has been slipping and people are kinda repulsed by the brand. Someone got maggots in their chicken a couple years ago, that shit spreads. It's still popila, but no-one is challenging it.
oh you hate chick fila because of the conservative groups they support or have in the past...etc..?

I feel ya TC, one of my cousins married a 40 something old man at 18 and was effectively disowned by my Uncle, I only found out recently that he's been treating his sons like kings while ignoring his daughter for years.
why were they so mad at her for doing that? Totally different story if he were wealthy right?

Cohen Brothers, just because of their long string of high quality movies over the years.

They may not make those multi-billion dollar earning films, but they've had a bunch of huge cultural hits on generally smaller budgets and few big losers.

I live in Idaho so it's tough to miss on the local news. But I do kinda space out during those segments because I don't care much. Up to now it's been a bunch of procedural delaying tactics from his lawyer.

They said he had an alibi which was that he was going for a long drive alone, which he often does to clear his head. They had zero evidence that's where he was when they submitted it.
but what did you read about the 2 times he was pulled over in indiana? it was intentional by the fbi?

This is about Christianity being forced on to children. You just don't want to acknowledge that, because like many religious types, talking about the bad is a huge nono. Christianity makes up the majority of the United States and for reasons myself and others have listed, it would be no doubt abused to push more Christianity

Your type wants to dance around the bad by insisting people keep discussing it at a bare minimum.

The topic and it's suggestions are bad for all the reasons I already listed. It would be abused, and people like you absolutely would sweep the abuse preferential good treatment towards Christianity, and skewed pro Christianity agenda all under the rug. It's evident even in your own topic as you tap dance around we have a political party (Republican) that makes up 40% of the country is heavily in favor of forcing children to be more Christian. With Democrats being heavily pro Christian as well, just not as bad as Republicans.

We have lawmakers in Congress who would more than love to embrace your foot in the door idea to usher in more Christianity.

Your type claims you want people to talk about the bad too, but your actions show you don't really want to focus on it all that much. People like you would rather silence people who point that out.
yeah i agree with this. This does mostly only apply to christianity especially if it's in the u.s. Why doesn't it apply to other relgions as well, though?

non-religious contexts.

Teach how and why they've impacted the world culturally and religiously, and get them in the libraries for any curious kids that want to read them.

I was given a course in 10th grade on The Bible as literature and it was one of the best courses I had in high school english because it did a LOT to show the influences of both specific stories and general story archetypes. It shouldn't be taboo, so long as no text is getting particularly preferential treatment and the religious beliefs aren't what's being taught.
why do you believe this tc? Do you believe that intelligent design should also be taught in biology classes...etc...?

For me, eBay made it's name as an auction site, so you could never just go and find something and just buy it... immediately.

You had to bid on it... wait... the find out someone else outbid you and you just wasted your time (HA HA!!!).

So I avoid the site. And yes, I know you can buy immediately nowadays... but it's reputation has set for me.
they have been doing instant buying for many yrs iirc. Wasn't it all auction for just it's first few yrs?

It's surprising, but some don't realize Ebay is more than an auction site, still.

It's probably a lack of promotion when they started on doing store items on top of the bidding.
