Do you really expect Starbucks to have little baby Jesus’ on their cups? Mary holding a baby? They’re materialistic pagans, for Buddha’s sake!

You can’t expect them to have trees and santa clauses, because many people think they are Christian symbols. They’re not.

Be happy they even acknowledge Christmas in some way.

Be happy they don’t have ramadan cups with images of machetes and blood-dripping necks.

Proud to say I have never wasted my dollars on Starbucks.

My dollars go to Folgers run twice through a $10 coffee maker on the kitchen counter.

Here’s why people are mad about Starbucks’ red cups

A: Because they have no lives.

Was just in a Kneaders restaurant and it was decked out with Christmas gifts, decor and music and things that said, “Merry Christmas”. Very nice.

When they ask you your name, just tell them “Merry Christmas”. I’d do it, but I don’t buy corporate coffee.

Unmentioned: Starbucks sells & prominently promotes a “Christmas Blend”.

Seems some people on all sides of every issue are looking for offense.
And there are people on all sides of every issue looking for the opposition to be offended (however few among however many) so accusations of absurd & baseless offense may be imputed.

It’s coffee, people. Shut up about unrelated theology and drink it already - or don’t if you’re so inclined, leaving the coffee drinkers to their preferred beverage in peace.

I dunno...Compared to what some companies have done to destroy Christmas, the red and green cups seem almost...spiritual.

Because they’re over sensitive whiny idiots who go through life seeking reasons to be offended?

Really people, get over it. The logo is green, the cup is red, that’s the Christmas color scheme.

I remember these dispensed from out vending machine way back in the 1980's when I was working in textiles. We would all get a cup of joe and bet a buck on who had the winning hand. I would not be surprised if these are outlawed now.

Oh for pity’s sake. Seriously?

Does every group have to be “offended” now?

Christians are beheaded in the Middle East and this character is on a jag about damned coffee cups? How about bringing some attention to what Christians are REALLY suffering?

Starbucks coffee?

If I wanted to puke I’d go buy a bottle of ipecac.
