RE: Barilla pasta president under attack after gay comments
The smokescreen is that they are attacking what this man said which is 100% legitimate. "A greater importance of the classic family"... Him as a figure is the diversion pay attention how they attack the context of what he was saying.

If they are boycotting, I will go buy two boxes instead of my usual one and I am sure many family's will do the same. Watch quietly as his company's profits improve a the majority of humanity sides with him.

My idea..we go buy boxes of his pasta and donate it to left/femenist food banks. If the throw away the food we know where thier true intentions are at. No food bank is tossing food unless it's expired or they have no room for it.

I seriously doubt the fembots and others will seriously go crazy boycotting since pasta is pretty much the only thing they can "cook"

You kidding me?

When was the last time a girl made pasta for you?

Thought so.

It's happened to me twice. Twice, in 14 years of dating.

All CEO's of everything should come out and say what they want about the gay lifestyle. All at the same time.

When the gays find out and boycott they will have nothing left to use.

He didn't say anything against gays eating Barilla pasta. He said he wouldn't showcase same sex couples on his pasta boxes. He said, "That's fine if they like our pasta and our communication, they can eat them. Otherwise, they can eat another pasta."

All he said was that he wouldn't advertise a gay family. He invited gays to eat his pasta.

What a joke.

Hasn't this guy openly supported gay marriage? So he values a traditional family, and wouldn't feature a gay family in his ads, big fuckin deal. This isn't an issue of homophobia, it's merely failure to cheer. I do sympathize with gay people, but this is bullshit.

He was respectful and still got jumped by the bloodthirsty crowd. It's a damn shame. There is no arguing with these fanatics, and no free speech in their minds either.

Are you saying that girls generally don't cook for men (anymore) and so even two pastas in 14 years represents an extraordinary amount of food? Or that girls generally cook things far more complicated than pasta for you?

I've been the recipient of about 50 meals cooked by women I was dating in my life, and I think about 5 of them were pasta, similar to how often I'd use it.

Hah, I remember telling a girl I was cooking macaroni cheese when she was on her way around. She was utterly confused when she realised I meant penne with awesome cheese sauce (including bacon, tomato and spices), rather than some kraft packaged "mac n cheese" bullshit.

I got a nice cheesy bj later that night.

The most common meal I've had prepared for me by women, is probably spaghetti bolognaise. For some reason people seem to think this is an impressive dish, and usually pride themselves on their special recipe, which is, of course, exactly the same as everyone elses special recipe..

A couple girls have cooked me some pretty awesome eggs in the morning, though.

I don't usually mind cooking for girls, providing they clean up. I'd rather cook something tasty myself than eat the same shitty meal every time...

From what I've read, he's pro-gay marriage, but against gay adoption.

But of course the media and ensuing outcry distorted the actual facts.

I see nothing wrong with this at all. I personally don't mind or care about gays, but they're so sensitive about such trivial matters and they're always forcing their lifestyle down others throats. And if you call them out on it, you're labeled a bigot. It's almost like the new race card.

I personally have nothing against gays myself, but it's irritating how they try pushing their agenda into mainstream media not to mention the ones that go to gay pride events act like total clowns when they're looking for "respect."

It's still better than stupid feminists who want leverage over anything that moves & while looking to implement new standards on what men & women should eat, drink, think, and how to conduct themselves in every stupid petty situation to the tee while they are entitled to get fat, ugly, and even bitchier in the western world.

As for this pasta guy, I don't think any company would have a gay couple advertised on their brands though it's probably an issue that doesn't even cross anybody's minds. On the basis that everything gets blown out of proportion and misconstrued, he was probably better off keeping his mouth shut period for "business intentions" that is though I agree with his viewpoints for the most part.

50 is a lot. I can count on two hands how many times a white girl has cooked for me, and it's never been good. The girls cooked things far LESS complicated than pasta and managed to fuck it up.

Asian girls are always quick and enthusiastic to cook for me, and it's always been good.

RE: Barilla pasta president under attack after gay comments
Girls have cooked me SO many noodles over the years.

Japan- Yakisoba (or some noodles)

U.S. -Horrible spaghetti. Except for once, and the chick was a super cook and made the sauce from scratch, then had a meltdown after I showed up late and had already eaten on a date.

ME/U.S.- Countless tons (yes tons) of pancit. Also udon with ingredients shipped direct from Japan.

DR- "Espegetti blanco"- My fav when girls came over to make that dish.

Girls cook for me cause they need my approval. They know I cook and want to impress. Culinary game recognized.

Is this that one with a white sauce made with a sort of milk cream that can not be cooked so it has to be eaten as soon as it is ready?

Pussies: http://www.barilla.com/position.html Although I don't blame them.

Meanwhile I'm eating more barilla pasta than ever. The multigrain variety is my staple in fact, thanks to the highly favorable macronutrient ratios and great flavor/texture.
