Dr. Fong Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 That's the problem with the Internet, some idiot somewhere is upset about something and now the rest of us have to hear about it.
DC Tom Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 "Your paper cups are not ornate enough to celebrate the birth of our savior in the barn on the back lot of a cheap motel!" If Jesus were alive today, he'd be crucified by evangelicals.
Acantha Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 That's the problem with the Internet, some idiot somewhere is upset about something and now the rest of us have to hear about it. Lots of idiots all over the place.
/dev/null Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Let 'em QQ in the Intarweb and if they have the self control, boycott Starbucks overpriced coffee. At least they're not cutting people's heads off
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 And you wonder why events like "Halloween" take off like wildfire! No (moral, ethical, etc...) strings attached. I actually gotta go to church on Christmas? What the heck! People complain about everything. Too much Jesus, not enough Jesus, etc... etc... This is what happens when people have too much time on their hands. Speaking of Baby Jesus... He weeps. You don't want to make him cry, do you? Then the ones with too much time on their hands, shut up! Let 'em QQ in the Intarweb and if they have the self control, boycott Starbucks overpriced coffee. At least they're not cutting people's heads off ^^^ This.
DC Tom Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) And you wonder why events like "Halloween" take off like wildfire! No (moral, ethical, etc...) strings attached. Haven't heard what's going on at Yale, have you? Edited November 9, 2015 by DC Tom
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Haven't heard what's going on at Yale, have you? No. Should I Google it? Or can I just be lazy and you tell me...
DC Tom Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 No. Should I Google it? Or can I just be lazy and you tell me... The short version: somebody at Yale circulated a student memo on Halloween costume sensitivity and avoiding "triggers". Somebody suggested that maybe this was being oversensitive, as the point of costumes masquerade, not reality. Then everybody, collectively and individually, lost their ****. It's a bit more complicated than that, though...I'd suggest googling it for more info. (While you're at it, google "shredding constitution." It's the silly season, for sure.)

Can I blame you for "making" me stumble into this hell hole? http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/06/guide-to-triggering/ "Everyday Feminism" really? I saw that and just had to have a look see!
Marv's Neighbor Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 It's the same as anything else, If you don't like it, don't buy it! I could never see the attraction. The stuff's so bitter that you have to doctor the sh*t out of it, just to choke it down, AND, that will be $6.99 please!
eball Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Ever notice that the folks who complain about stuff like this are generally not happy people? Content, satisfied human beings don't waste their time with this drivel. We're too busy bitching about the Bills.
IDBillzFan Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Content, satisfied human beings don't waste their time with this drivel. We're too busy bitching about the Bills. It wouldn't surprise me to find out Starbucks set this whole thing up. It worked so well when they used their cups to get everyone talking about race.
The Poojer Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 ya think? It wouldn't surprise me to find out Starbucks set this whole thing up. It worked so well when they used their cups to get everyone talking about race.

YoloinOhio Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I saw this on FB. Because of course I did. FB was made for "controversies" like this. I can't understand why anyone would care wtf is on their coffee cup they will be throwing away 30 minutes after they get it.

Because, dammit, if there's no snowflake on your paper cup during the holidays, and you don't complain, Jesus won't save you! Or something...
