Domino's Pizza founder behind Intelligent design

[mkultra]

So i read this article (http://www.guardian.co.uk/religion/Story/0,2763,1579199,00.html#crazy%20bread) which seems to point to the founder of Domino's Pizza (Thomas Monaghan) as one of the primary antagonists in the intelligent design fight.

Does anyone know if this guy is still a part of domino's pizza? I plan on at least making a comment at the domino's sight( http://info.dominos.com/dominos_pizza/contact.nsf/frmContact?openform ) But is a spread of this information a valid concept?

1. I smell... boycott!

[marbuc]

4. It's a good thing their pizza sucks

A boycott of Dominoes wouldn't be difficult for me, I have eaten there in years.

[LuCifer]

22. They're pizza BLOWS!

All the more reason to go elsewhere...

[KitchenWitch]

16. I have boycotted them since the 1980s

Due to the anti-choice politics and downright mean spiritedness towards the poor by Tom Monaghan

[Yavin4]

23. Easiest Boycott Ever

To call that crap "Pizza" is an insult to Pizza.

2. Domino's Pizza sucks anyway

Living in New York, where pizza is overabundant(good pizza I might add)I always wonder who it is that orders their pizza from Domino's in this city.

3. Too bad there are no intelligent designers that work at Dominos.

Is that why their pizza is always bad? They just have faith that it shall be good? :D

5. This doesn't surprise me in the least.

6. Piffle. There was NOTHING intelligent about the NOID...!

[meegbear]

7. He also used to give to Operation Rescue

food for thought

[meganmonkey]

8. Yes he is. He is also leading the fight against benefits for same-sex

couples in Michigan, he is EXTREMELY anti-choice, and he is overall a bastard and I wish he would just leave my state alone.


He is a bastard and Domino's sucks. And that's all I have to say about that :)

on edit: Oops, I called him a bastard twice, but he deserves it so I will just leave it that way ;)

[davidinalameda]

9. from other stories that I've read on him

he's sold his interest in Domino's and is using his profits to further his fundie causes

[mkultra]

12. What a shame

If thats true then i have nothing to target. I might just make complaints anyway and see if it gets into the news.

10. Trying to atone:

JURY AWARD SPURS DOMINO'S TO DROP DEADLY POLICY

Four days after a St. Louis (Mo.) Circuit Court jury returned a $78 million punitive damages award against Domino's Pizza, the world's largest pizza delivery company dropped its fast-delivery policy.

Hundreds of claims have been filed against the pizza maker by motorists and others who allege that their injuries were caused by company delivery drivers. They contend that Domino's promise of delivery within 30 minutes encouraged company drivers to speed and drive negligently or recklessly. From 1984 to 1986, a late-arriving pizza was left at no cost to the customer. Since 1986, customers have been given $3 off their orders.

15. Domino's Pizza has funded this kind of crap for a decade or more

I remember back in the early 90s that I stopped eating Domino's because they were funding Anti-Choice groups...Every couple years I see this mentioned again but it seems to fall off the radar. As far as I can tell though they have been a consistent RW supporter from the beginning. I haven't eaten a Domino's Pizza in probably 12+ years.

17. Worst Pizza Ever.

Calling it pizza is an insult to pizza everywhere.

[NWHarkness]

18. Monaghan sold Dominos some time ago

It's still a crappy company, and he's still a creep, but he no longer owns it.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

26. Right on all counts

I live in a great pizza town so I've never had to resort to Domino's.

Monaghan's a good one to keep an eye on in any case. He surely is a creep.

[NWHarkness]

28. Not to mention that he screwed up the Tigers

so bad that they still haven't recovered from his ownership.

19. Who would have thought it?

The eternal questions of life the universe and everything have boiled down to pizza vs. pasta.

20. Oh i'm going to be hated for what i'm going to say..

I kinda like there pizzas, there deep dish and thin crust pizzas are to die for and I would of tried there steak fanatic pizza but the one that's near me closed down.

[hfojvt]

25. their is no accounting for taste

my mother and sister, both Democrats btw, love Dominos pizza. It was a college classic for me. My senior year roommate used to order one almost every night and share it with me. I enjoyed it then, but I now live half a block from a Dominos and I almost never get pizza there.

21. ..

[sepia_steel]

24. Hahaha. No more Domino's. nt

[no_hypocrisy]

27. He's the same chowderhead who ran TV ads 15 years ago that were

anti-abortion: "Life. What a beautiful choice."

Scores of white little cherubs running and playing in the leaves, whose lives were saved from abortion.

I gave up Pizza Hut since then.
