Wonder if there will be traffic jams and Starbucks running out of coffee. Will it fizzle and flop or be as successful as last Wednesday was for CFA? I wish the best of luck to Starbucks, it will be interesting to see what happens. myself I like to get the best value for mu money, but each to their own.
I wonder if gays will show this kind of tolerance to anyone of an opposing view shows up. In this video, you can see how the bullied have now become the bullies under the protection of liberalism. [video=youtube;x8G4jI3VI8U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8G4jI3VI8U[/video]
Starbucks sucks. Their coffee is weak. Their terminology counter-intuitive. Their food is crap. I don't want the latest Paul McCartney cd. If some facets of a group chose that company as a symbol of sorts, then they need to get better taste. Try Peet's. Much better coffee.
And no shock to anyone, we wont see a Heterosexual counter. We wont see them showing up to spray paint Starbucks, and we wont see them harrassing the people at the counter. If Starbucks has Pro gay views, then Gay people are doing the right thing by supporting them with their dollars. This is the way to go about it. As a straight man, I'll still buy a coffee now and then at Starbucks. The opinions of a chain and their CEO's mean nothing to me, as long as the product is to my liking.
I wish they would say "Pick a Local Gay Friendly Coffee Shop", but I'll go through a drive through on my bike.
not sure if I have ever had a Starbucks coffee, I am pretty sure I have not. Sometimes I will have a fancy coffee at one of the bookstores nearby. If I want to support a gay establishment there is a great cafe nearby which is run by a openly gay Irish immigrant that has food to die for, hmmmm lunch there today perhaps.
It really doesn't matter which place they choose. Homosexuals lost this public relations battle last week when millions of Americans told gays to take a hike by supporting Chick-Fil-A.
just me but I could care less about the gay marriage thing one way or the other, it was the suppression of 1st amendment rights and religious oppression that caused me to lunch at CFA last week and just a craving for a good sandwich which caused me to go back again yesterday
LOL!!! Gays are a tiny minority. Just keep it in the bedroom and accept being ignored. This drama queen stuff is unbecoming of you. _
I don't see how you separate the ultimate goal of gay activists from the tactics they use to achieve that goal. They are sexually twisted bullies who want to destroy everything that is normal and traditional in America.
So the CEO of Starbucks has been making statements about marriage, and some right-wing mayors now don't want to grant them building permits and .......... ....... or maybe this is more gay BS fail.
I think you have no gay friends or you wouldn't say that. People are people to me and I try not to think too hard about labels (although this place tests my resolve). If you want to live your life seeing people in groups instead of individuals then you are no better than the liberals you claim to despise. It is such a collectivist attitude: Us v Them. Only when we get back to valuing the individual over groups will we have true freedom and liberty.
Don't gays form groups and try to push their agenda. Maybe, you should tell your friends to have the gay community cool it. _
Did you see my post about Antoine Dodson...any of them? Was he not supporting the right to ChikFilA to exist without bull(*)(*)(*)(*)tery? Or that Rachel should have pulled Adam Smith through the window and beat him with chicken? Not everyone falls into a panacea. And what about that gay Sheriff that's always up in Obama's KoolAid? Do you think that he's part of the collective? Goproud? The Log Cabins?
Actually, it is our President making everything about class envy. It is our President, and the Democrat Party, that wants to pit one group against the other. It has nothing to do with having gay friends or not. It has everything to do with having a jackass President and one political party based on Largesse. You have your freedom and individualism reversed. Freedom comes first. You must organize to gain and preserve freedom. Those that want to take it away from you most certainly organize to do so.
I don't have any gay friends that I'm aware of. But as for me being the collectivist because I don't approve of gay marriage you could paste that charge on anyone short of an anarchist or a hedonist. You could call everyone who does not approve of bestiality close-minded if you want to. Or say that anyone who doesn't approve of incest is a bigot. But the fact is that most Americans see homosexuality as the sexual perversion that it is in spite all the ugly pressure by the trendy people in Hollywood to change our minds.
Is that really necessary? I think there has been a lesson learned here by gays. Instead of being against something to make a point, be for something. It is a sign of maturity.
Good grief, I know you guys are going to take this personally, but I do question your personal constitutions. This petty nonsense of using restaurants and the like as jumping off points for political gamemanship is as childish rhetoric. A cup of coffee, a chicken sandwich, let alone all the other props used for political statements have gone beyond the obscure. What I learned, whether it was my parents, in school, or at work, if I have to make an argument and get people to buy into it, I sure as heck have to do my homework. That means my argument must directly address the issue, then the basis and the process/steps that are identifed to come to my conclusion, or stance, must follow a valid and repeated process. Neither a chicken sandwich nor a cup of coffee, have anything to do with gay marriage, or God, or civil rights; to paraphrase, they aren't in the same ballpark, league, or same f$%^ing sport.
politicians like Rahm Emanuel and Boston's mayor are the ones that made it political. I was a bit of a bully myself in High School and as I grew older regretted my actions. Now I like to stand up for people being bullied, just call it karma
The liberals did this. Rahm Emanual, mayor of Chicago, and Thomas Menino, mayor of Boston. Your people
I agree Mayor Emanual was wrong in his stance, and has no legal ground to prevent Chik-fil-A from opening a business there; but your posts have a slant for protecting the weak, please don't try to pass that BS my way. Your position is on record.
