Domino's Pizza founder looks to ban abortions, porn & contraceptives

[Halfdeck]

When I lived in NYC, I always grabbed a slice of pizza before heading to the subway, but I never went anywhere near Dominos.

Anyway, it sounds like an interesting experiment.

They might find out building a sexually repressed community leads to higher rates of child molestation, or we may find out the murder rate in Monaghan's town turns out to be unusually low.

It could be added next to the porn/fast food/lottery outlet strip mall.

Boycott anyway..it'll make you feel better.. and we use the buyblue list for almost everything.. I have even almost stopped using Yahoo! and was pretty disgusted when Flickr sold out to them.

Whew! That's a relief!

I had never tried those cookies until the bloodbank started giving them out after donating...mmm...warm cookie and cold apple juice. Well worth letting em extract a pint of the red stuff

Stores won't sell pornographic magazines, pharmacies won't carry condoms or birth control pills, and cable television will carry no X-rated channels, he said in a speech last year to the first annual Boston Catholic Men's Conference…

Wow, great article, I sure won't be eating Dominoes anymore...that guy is a FREAK!!

[lassiter]

I just wanna point out that with the exception of a few places where the water obviously has weird chemicals in it (Kansas and South Dakota), there really aren't "red" and "blue" states. Even here in his "home" state of Texas Bush only got around 65% of the vote and that other 35% is a whole hell of a lot of people. Not to mention that only slightly more than half the eligible voters voted in the last election anyway, so almost half of the population hasn't colored themselves red OR blue yet.

There, now that I've said that, I'll just say that I fully support Tom Monaghan giving away all his money in the service of an old celibate German guy living in Rome.

Jesus H Bill, will you quit pussy footing and come out and say whatever the hell it is your trying to say already? The suspense is just killing me.

Well, I wouldn't mind taking credit for it, it's nice punchy writing, but the guy who put up the webpage wrote it. ;-}

There are cool parts of the south, there must be cuz there are cool southerners, but my impression of the south in general ain't so great.

My youngest brother moved to arkansas, became a rabid bible thumper and jesus-ignorer, and is breeding a passle of little taliban. He always was the fuckup of the family, in the sense of always needing money, wrecking cars, and the like - but now that he's found jaysus he's convinced his shit don't stink.

I think it helps to be an american taliban when you're selling life insurance in arkansas.

No, the FSC is for those in Porn, the ACLU is for "freaks like this"

Where in this thread has anyone said this must be stopped?

Thanks Torn. I knew SOMEONE in here could say what I really meant to say.

Anytime a crime is committed, it's always the dumbest cock in the neighborhood who gets his or herself interviewed by the 'on the scene' reporter and makes every viewer assume that everyone who lives on that street must be a toothless crack smoking degenerate. This same scenario is what gives we northerners a bad impression of the South. I've come to believe that most Southerners, like us, couldn't give two fucks about what others are doing in their homes and in their beds, but it's those few squeeky neo-Christian wheels that make us think that they're all nuts. The only solace we all have is our knowledge that some day the owner of Dominoes will wake up dead in his coffin to the realization that he's nothing more than rotten flesh, just like we non-believers, without ever passing through his beloved pearly gates.

Monaghan's idea is not exactly new. Indiana was home to a similar attempt which lasted about 10 years. The town, which has a population of less than 1000, still exists as a historic landmark.

http://www.christianexodus.org/ planning on taking over a state and then succeeding from the USA. This is scary because as you read their web site it seems that the motives are outwardly hate based instead of inwardly peaceful like the Amish.

I wish that was the case. Spend some time in the South and you'll remember that most people were raised by parents that believe a one legged pregnant black woman carrying a baby has less right to sit down on a bus then a young healthy white male.

Not everyone cares what happens in other people's homes but a much higher percentage of people do.

You can go much further south and end up in Southeast Florida and then it is like being in New York only warmer.

"There's a lot of misconceptions about this. I don't really have a vision for the town. I have a vision for the university," Monaghan said today on ABC's "Good Morning America." "I'm not a developer. I'm not a lawyer. I'm just trying to build a world class university."

His comments were in contrast to statements he made last year to a Catholic men's group in Boston, telling the crowd that pornographic magazines won't be sold in town, pharmacies won't carry condoms or birth control pills, and cable television will carry no X-rated channels. Monaghan said this morning those comments were "out of place."

"The town is open to anybody," Monaghan said. "The university, it's different story. It will be primarily Catholic."

He was on the Today show as well... and Couric asked him if Jews would be allowed to move into town? or Baptists? or Gay couples?

He and the other guy -- forget his name -- the developer.. said yes, anyone could move there.. and that the pharmacies could sell porn and contraceptives but it would be "discouraged." (IOW, the majority of the townspeople would prolly boycott the store).

They said they just wanted to build a university not a town...



I haven't ordered from Dominos for years and I'm not about to start... I don't much care for cardboard pizzas or for religous righteous assholes... I've had enough of their BS in my life...

Hi guys I am fairly new to thi board but I have read a similar thread on a few other boards. Everyone here is right. And I do mean EVERYONE. You guy have to think about it in a couple different ways. We may not like the stifling oppression that comes with this type of right-winged religious views but damn if they don't like the boobies and anal penetration that many of us hold so dear. Our counrty gives everyone the right to have our views. Yeah he has a lot more money and political clout behind him. But it's his POV. As long as there isn't any blanatly illegal fine. But this type of thing will continue no matter what type of stink we put up. As will porn no matter what type of problems they try to cause. And thanks Sir Moby for bring up the Christian Exodus because it's the prefect example that this is possible.
