Not that I go to Starbucks in the first place.....

[atomicpossum]

I'm sure there are dozens of places folks can go to get obscenely overpriced cups of coffee.

[Larry Lucido]

Better coffee at a third the price.

[SkyPilot]

Starbucks coffee is over rated. Too many of their flavors taste burnt and too strong.

I mostly drink WaWa coffee. Just as good or better, never a line because you pour your own, they replace the coffee pitchers every 10 minutes to keep them fresh, and tons of flavors.

Now after hearing this, I won't even purchase their coffee in the supermarket to brew my own.

Buh Bye Starbucks. If you come to your senses quickly this time, I won't tell everyone I know to boycott your coffee.

Congratulations Starbucks. This is what you promote.

[spanalot]

Glad I never went there - couldn't imagine paying that much for a cup of coffee - looks like excess profits go to make mischief like this.

And what's with that new age, mother earthy logo!

[ScreamingFist]

Not that I go to Starbucks in the first place.....

Never been to one either, this however does give me an idea.......KickButt Coffee, strong and served in large cups without any sayings from some fru-fru printed all over it. $2.00 a cup.

[wardaddy]

I'm not much on their red commune java anyhow.

I prefer my joe direct from the sweat of exploitation.

[balch3]

boycott.

[epow]

I wonder if Focus on the Family knows about this? FOTF headquaters in Colorado Springs sells Starbucks coffe at it's refreshment booth in the welcome center.

I'm a financial supporter of FOTF, maybe I should drop them a line by email.

I have never tasted such crappy coffee in my life than the Starbucks that is in the Atlanta airport...is ALL starbucks that bad??

[cyborg]

Some of the coffee cups are really good, some aren't. No one should be surprised at the left leaning.

[MississippiMan]

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.

[BurbankKarl]

That is what they call a Homoccino!

[Lancey Howard]

No, I certainly never fell for the marketing ploy either.
"Hey! Let me spend more for a cup of coffee that I can make a pot of at home," just never sounded like a high IQ idea to me.

Give me Maxwell House Slow Roast any day.

[SamAdams76]

The Way I See It

"When I want to go get a cup of coffee, I just want a cup of coffee. Medium. Black. I do not want to stand in line behind a half-dozen customers of questionable gender as they agonize over such things as whether they want skim milk or soy in their $7 double-chocolate latte. I do not want some over-enthusiastic employee with jewelry sprouting out of every body orifce trying to get me to give them my first name so they can write it on the darn cup. I just want a damn cup of coffee and I want it fast. Thank you and good day."

[Caipirabob]

Someone please tell me. I roast my own coffee, it's that important to me, and I still have to ask; "Whom, other than a homosexual, would drink something called 'frappuccino' anyways?"

This all comes as no surprise.

[trubluolyguy]

Stopped going to Starbucks when I found out about the lefty issues they support. Do I miss my Triple Venti Toffee Nut Latte? Yeah, but I've lost 10 lbs in the 2 months I stopped going there.

[birbear]

Geez... another place I'm supposed to boycott?

Ya know... if I gave a rat's butt about the politics of most corporations, I probably wouldn't own a damn thing. I sure as hell couldn't work at any of 'em.

Fortunately I know when to pick my battles. 1 type of coffee cup at Starbucks has something minorly pro-gay on it? [I mean, for cryin out loud, it doesn't sound like the writer is pushing pro-gayness on anybody... he's just saying, if you are gay, acknowledge it and don't be afraid of it. Which I think is something similar to what Shaekspear once wrote: "To thine ownself be true.] Not a big deal in my world view.


Pretty much, my litmus test for a company --> if I own it's stock will I make money via it's corporate policies. I owned SBUX at one time, and I made money.

[Felis_irritable]

I've been in Starbucks 3 times. The first was because I was dragged in by a gorgeous co-worker. The other 2 were accidents. I can *tell* it's a lefty joint by looking...

[porkchops 4 mahound]

We don't have Starbucks up here.

Seems like no loss.

[TAdams8591]

Actions that would have been considered in poor taste and socially unacceptable 15 or 20 years ago are becoming more common place today.

The comments on the cup have been written as though the "in your face" message by those pushing the homosexual agenda, is not in controversy and everyone accepts homosexuality as a NORMAL, EVERDAY part of life that society should pander to. We don't.
