No, it's not. It was, in the past, when certain people latched onto the idea of evolution to help provide "proof" for racist doctrines, but that's long since been disregarded.

For my part, I was debating locking the thread, but Kasz seems to have a handle on it.

A lock would've been nice awhile ago.

These Chick-Fil-A threads have gone crazy.

Maybe anything remotely political has to be locked.  In my original post, I had stated this:

So, I would have a question: In case of polarizing issues, can a boycott really be effective, or does it just make a company a stronger niche brand and improves its bottom line by creating a stronger identity for itself?  I would ask to focus on the effect of a boycott here, rather than have this turn into a discussion over gay marriage.  I say this request because there is another thread on that subject.  Also, it doesn't help any regarding the issue if people on one side or another are spun as spawns of evil.

 

The main focus of the topic of this thread had to do with whether or not boycotts can be successful, if an issue is divisive, or not.  It looks like it has degenerated.
