Aw, come on. Don't sell yourselves short...I know you Texans like to just boil the water in a saucepan over an open fire and throw the ground coffee into it...:)
I'm sorry...I just don't know what to do about this thread other than be flippant. It is too weird. The insidious assualt on values does take place at lower levels, and we all risk being the "Frog in the pan of hot water" (I know...if you go to http://www.snopes.com/critters/wild/frogboil.htm they debunk the frog thing)
But you know what I mean.
I don't drink Starbucks Coffee, just because I don't like it. The cigarette butt taste thing turns me off. Now I have another reason. My wife won't understand, though.
I thought it was Barbara Walters REAL last name...
Well, in the not-too-distant future where homosexuality, beastiality and pedophilia will be considered normal, Starbucks will fit right in and will probably be considered a trailblazer.
Some of the coffee cups are really good, some aren't. No one should be surprised at the left leaning.
I think a cup of coffe with "butt" in the title is slightly more gay than the one we are complaining about.
And you were shopping at a perfume and soap store because...
No surprise here. I'm semi-certain Starbucks is one of the companies whose political donations go 100.0% to Democrats. I stopped giving them my money long ago.

That is what they call a Homoccino!
Are all your homo boyfriends conservative too?
they must have done a demographic study and found that 98% of the population is not their customer.
I also worked at a Borders Bookstore when I was in college. There were plenty of us heteros working on the floor. The cafe, however, was largely staffed by "Blatino" Local #357 of the Friends of Dorothy.
Insecurity sucks huh.....oops....guess sucks scares you also...
And this is cup #43. I imagine everyone can find a cup they don't like/find offensive, if they look hard enough.
That's a pretty rude and intrusive question.
he must be phil hendry's "gay" man reporter. (gratuitous radio show reference)
Why are there so many troll acounts from 1998?
This is an interesting question, and one I hope we can discuss with mutual respect and honesty, if not agreement. And we're not going to come to complete agreement, because I'm an Christian of an evangelical mindset, and I have strong opinions on the morality of a homosexual lifestyle.
That aside, here's my take. I can "accept" that some people choose to live a homosexual lifestyle, but when I'm put in a position that I must "approve" or "celebrate" that lifestyle, then the "homosexual agenda" is in play (from my perspective).
On the one hand, if two men choose to live together and share their lives in an intimate way, that's their choice, and I can accept it.
If I'm expected to applaud the prospect of a Gay Pride Parade, or if the school system is exposing children to views that their parents clearly don't agree with, then that's never going to get my approval.
Frankly, the printing on a coffee cup from a store I don't frequent is not that big a deal to me. Fisting lessons in high schools are.
I guess I am pretty insecure, I got rid of all the gay cups in my house a while ago. I have a gay crock pot I can't seem to part with, though.
I suggest that she really likes their coffee for the caffeine.
