It Was Only A Matter Of Time Before This Began.......

CoinOKC.

Methinks you just got burned pretty badly.

I highly doubt Peyton Manning works for free. I also doubt the ad time is free.

 

All part of advertising. Papa Johns is so very much in the news right now, it's better than any advertising he could have bought. Sure, Lefties aren't going to stay away from his pizza any more than Righties aren't going to stay away from GE products or Progressive Insurance.

Don't forget: This Friday from 11am to 11pm, if you're not in favor of Obama(Tax)Care, buy a Papa Johns pizza even if you don't care for the taste. Give it to a hungry person. Let's keep those Papa Johns employees working!!

 

The problem here for old Schnatter is that any town in this country usually has a lot of choices in pizza and it ain't like Pappa John's is all that high on the pizza quality ladder. Pappa John's ranks someplace between Domino's and Pizza Hut in quality. That makes Pappa John's not exactly something that you'd have a hard time giving up, oh say, for any reason whatsoever. Just sayin'.

 

Smacks of desperation Coin. What I have bolded is just pathetic.

PAPA JOHN is whining. You're whining with him.

Pathetic.

 

You mean let's keep the whaaaaaaambulance delivering those crappy pizzas as if Schnatter wins even when he loses.

 

Remember, buying pizzas for 12 hours will help Pappa John's for exactly one day. Let them have their moment. A boycott of Pappa John's lasts a long, long time and has a far greater impact on the business than a symbolic one-day buying frenzy. Now watch as the conversation turns to Pappa John's employees. Most of which who will simply work for the competition after Schnatter drives his business into the ground trying to buy an election. Don't forget, Pappa John's doesn't provide health care coverage to the vast majority of their employees anyway.


(NEWSER) – One large pepperoni, a text-message scandal, and a boycott on the side, please. Papa John's is in the middle of a big mess on two fronts, one in court and one in the media. Here's a look at both:
Papa John's is in the midst of a drawn-out $250 million class-action lawsuit for allegedly sending millions of unsolicited texts to customers back in 2010. Some plaintiffs allege that they received as many as 16 texts in a row, sometimes in the middle of the night, reports CNN. They're suing for $500 per text, but could end up getting triple that pending the jury's decision.
Meanwhile, Papa John's CEO John Schnatter is under fire after saying last week that, in the wake of Obama's win, franchise owners may opt to cut shifts for full-time employees to less than 30 hours per week to avoid having to offer them health benefits, as per ObamaCare, reports Kentucky's Courier-Journal.
It didn't take long for reactions to start pouring in, with calls for a boycott of the pizza franchise. A Facebook Page for the protest already has more than 1,500 likes, and a Reddit post about the matter has garnered more than 4,000 comments.
Caleb Melby, writing for Forbes, took a look at the math behind Schnatter's claims that ObamaCare will force him to hike pie prices by 10 to 14 cents. That math might work out if you only look at large pizza sales, but on average, he figures the increase should only be 3.4 to 4.6 cents a pie.
On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart also did some (hasty) math, and figures that to offset health-care costs (which Schnatter estimates at $8 million), Papa John's needs to sell another million or so pizzas. That should be easy, he says, since the company once ran a promo advertising 2 million free pizzas. He advises Schnatter to instead “take all the millions you donated for partisan political purposes and pump it back" into health-care advances that could be good for business.
Not everyone is hating on Papa John's, however. More than 14,000 Facebook users have RSVPed to a National Papa John's Appreciation Day for this Friday, started by a group called Reboot USA, which compares it to the Chick-fil-A frenzy back in August. Supporters are urged to buy an extra pizza and donate it to someone in need.

 

I've been accused of whining because I don't advocate Obamacare and support those who agree with me. Let's see if you're accused of whining because you advocate Obamacare and support a boycott of those who are opposed to it.

I sure appreciated all these places you've listed for me. It really saves me time having to figure out who to boycott. Thanks!

I have actually figured out a use for Fox.

 

I don't know if you've been accused of whining because you "don't advocate Obamacare" so much as you've been accused of whining and being a sore loser because you keep whining and coming off as a sore loser.

 

Bad legislation is bad legislation, plain and simple. Just like the NDAA, Obamacare is an assault on our American ideal of liberty. I wouldn't consider a government forcing me to purchase a product as "liberty", would you? Well, yes you probably would. But, then again, you don't stand up for your own rights so what makes me think you'd stand against oppression? You make a terrible patriot.

 

My bet is that "the government" isn't actually forcing YOU you to buy anything. You, in all likelihood, already have health insurance coverage....am I right?

I would agree with your strange priorities if, and only if, everyone that refuses to buy health insurance had no access to he healthcare system in this country. I think people like you or anyone else should have the option to refuse medical care. Hell, Darwin addressed this very issue over a century ago.
Would you agree that if you wanted to opt out of buying health care insurance, you also have to opt out of using the health care system in this country? Or do you think people should get free stuff without paying?

Don't fret, I know you'll dodge answering this because you always do.

 

You're failing to see the forest for the trees. I need water to survive. If I want water in my house, I have to pay for it. But, the government doesn't force me to buy it. In my case, I purchase it from the city. The city offers the product I need, I agree to the price, they provide the item and I pay them for it. Should Obama force me to buy water? In fact, why DOESN'T Obama force me to buy water? Shouldn't he also force me to buy food? He's forcing me to buy insurance, so why not?

 

Your logic is a bit obtuse. Again, he is not forcing you to
buy anything is he? You have insurance and therefore are being forced to buy nothing. You speak of being forced to buy something at the same time you are being forced to buy nothing at all. Kind of makes your argument lame.

But of course you completely ignored the real question. Do you agree that people that refuse to pay into the system should have no access to it? Come on, for once, man up and answer a direct question.

 

You mean like people who just got their driver's license and start driving on the roads that the reast of us have paid for over the years or do you mean like my grandson who will inherit the debt that you are building for him?

 

See, this is where you find that this silly Right-wing talking point falls apart. In other words, under the slightest scrutiny. We currently have millions of uninsured people raising all of our costs by contributing nothing to the system. Aren't they getting something for free? Doesn't that drive you guys crazy? Millions of people freeloading on the health care system and all you can manage to be indignant about is government mandating coverage?

You guys are twisted into such pretzels by your own position that you are advocating for the freeloaders. You can't even bring yourself to rationally speak to a pretty simple question.

 

This might be a good idea... start a National Barber Insurance Fund. Every single person will pay into it, even bald people. Most people would take advantage of the Barber Fund sometime during their life. Just think about how low the price of haircuts would be! Sorry, bald people, even though you'll probably never use the Fund except for maybe a little moustache trim once in a blue moon, you still have to pay into it the same as everyone else. Oh, but we have to make sure we call it a "tax" instead of a "mandate".

 

I figured once your ideology was challenged with logic you'd go into hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil mode. You just can't see past your own flimsy ideology long enough to learn just how hollow and vacant it is under he slightest low-light of scrutiny. Whine and complain all you want. The health care law is the law of the land and there is nothing you can do about it. The only thing that would make me even more happy is single payer. It's coming. Mua ha ha ha ha...

 

Everyone pays for the roads, even people without licenses....
