Captain Hindsight Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 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. Seriously. I wouldn't even have noticed something dumb like that.

BuffaloBill Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 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. Exactly, if Christians have to rely on Starbucks to promote the Christian message and meaning of Christmas than organized religion has some serious things to worry about. Starbucks is a business, not a religious institution.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 This is beyond stupid. It's people like that that give us Christians a bad name CBF
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I already hated starbucks because of their overpriced coffee, pretentious menu items and sizes, and hipster atmosphere. But now this! "Thou shalt honor thy Lord by putting snowflakes and snowmen on cups for your daily drink. Thus saith The Lord." 1 Therealbuffalojoe 7:12
PromoTheRobot Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Meanwhile the preacher in the polyester suit who has been married three times and probably had shrimp cocktail for lunch is howling about homosexuals being an abomination.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that they are. So what? What business is it of his anyway? Christian doctrine, as specified in the Bible, is one of forgiveness and salvation of one's self. Not condemnation of others. I'm very respectful of people like millbank (wherever he is) who understand that, even if I don't share their beliefs. Sadly, he's in the minority.

He's entitled to his opinion. Freedom of expression and all. And we're entitled to not take his raving lunacy seriously.

LeviF Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 You know, I'm seeing a lot of stuff talking about all these offended Christians that apparently exist, but I've yet to actually encounter one besides one tard in the southwest. Hmm...

Hmm... Standard operating procedure these days. A small handful of idiots says something dumb and we have two weeks of endless facebook outrage, morning/night time talk show ridicule, commentary from our divider in chief, etc., etc.
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) I like Starbucks... I have never even had more than a teaspoon of coffee in my 47 years on this planet. (Some say I am not from this planet... ) Starbucks allows me to dump my hipster family: 48 year old wannabee hip wife, 17 year old son, & 13 year old daughter, at their front door while I wait in the car and have peace and quiet! Well done Starbucks! And my wife is a coffee snob. People say it is bitter coffee, but she lives w/me, I guess Starbucks is really that bad. Anyway, if you were to drink coffee, why drink somoething that is pussified... Stronger the better right! That's why I can't drink ANY coffee... I am too weak and can't act pretentious to drink any coffee! I am simply NOT part of the coffee generation. I never understood the power of the coffee crutch? Standard operating procedure these days. A small handful of idiots says something dumb and we have two weeks of endless facebook outrage, morning/night time talk show ridicule, commentary from our divider in chief, etc., etc. King George said the same thing. Goes way back to that party in Boston Harbor 240 years ago... Edited November 11, 2015 by ExiledInIllinois

Yeah but imagine if there was Facebook & Twitter 240 years ago Patrick Henry has updated his Facebook status: Give me Liberty or give me death!
