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

[odysseus]

Well, one more assbag who won't be recieving patonage at his business from me. I've long held that the best way to bring about change in this capitalist society is to vote with your dollar. If you are really wanting a list of other assbags you can stop giving your money to for various reasons, check out http://www.buyblue.org .

As has been said, I'm all for this guy's right to build this crap. But, I'm even more for bleeding his resources to do so dry if possible.

The only thing that I think I'd really be pissed about is the freaking jeebus monolith that MadMax mentioned. I know a lot of communities have restrictions on landscaping one can do on one's own property, such as not having trees so high that they obstruct the view of another property, bla bla bla. It's a damn shame that so many people who aren't jeebusphiles have to be subjected to that view. What whould this guy do if some rich arab bought the adjacent land and build a 200 foot mosque? Hell, I'd bankroll that if I could just for kicks.

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.

personal boycotts Rule!!

While I agree Domino's Pizza sucks! There is no need for a boycott. Monaghan sold his controlling stake in Domino's Pizza in 1998 to Bain Capital, an investment firm based in Boston, for an estimated $1 billion.
Now he’s just a member of the Wealthy & Fanatical Club.

There ya go, Bluemoney. Spoil my fun. I love a good boycott. lol. Either way, the best pies are always at local joints anyway. I can't think of a national chain that I really like all that much. Mmmm. Pizza.

[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.

Well their pizza still sucks. It is one of the worst pizzas that you can get where I live. It's like a piece of cardboard with tomato sauce on it. The box that it comes in would probably taste better.

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.

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.
