In the video, a manager can be heard saying, “We have one of our team members that is starting surgery right now for breast cancer, and we’d like to say a short prayer for her.”

Almost immediately, every head in the restaurant bowed, including those seated in the nearby dining area.

Her genetic make-up and doctors' competence will have much more to do with her survival than prayers. :thumb:

On a side note....I hate forced group-think. Fox News is the perfect example of what happens when you go down that rabbit hole.

I listen to C-SPAN in the morning and conservatives regularly call in yelling that they're biased because they don't use Breitbart as a news a source. Breitbart. :lol:

The entire format is to broadcast public hearings, meetings, etc; and interview guests while callers ask questions (or generally chime in). But apparently guests, who are usually experts in their field, have to cite Breitbart as a source...because using the WaPo or NYT is unacceptable.

It's insanity.

1 sketchy news source. I suggest you get over your paranoia and Trump/Fox News parroting. Boomers are dying & Millennials are coming into power.....that one is a FACT. :thumb:

Like I said before, Reuters is the only one that isn't sketchy. Trump and Fox are also sketchy. I have 3 kids that are millennials, not the angry millennials, they will take care of me.

You sure are one angry millennial, you are prejudiced against people of faith, and just seem to be one hateful person.

The only reason any millennial might not be angry is because they're too lazy to be angry. The ambitious ones are. That's why most aren't. :lol:

Not a millennial and definitely not prejudiced against people of faith! I don't expect to walk into a business to get lunch & be pressured into a group prayer session though. :thumb:

Nope. Not all the same. I keep hearing this argument over and over and over again.... Sometimes something is just worse than everything else. Fox News fits that description to a T.
