Starbucks? Anti-Christmas?! REALLY?!!

[KittyKat1978]

Is this what's it's come to?

I'm certain all of the folks who constantly complain about the PC epidemic will agree that this is nonsense.

OP- I watched that. ******. Feel bad for her. That girl needs to be Tea bagged.

Which is worse, a few people whining about the cups or the thousand of people whining about the whiners? I honestly had head nothing about the cups at all until everyone on social media got all up in arms about some people complaining.

 

[cantstandthecards]

What aggravates me is not the cups but the term holiday cup.
Its Christmas not holiday!

 

[crazyqx83_rivals88013]

Maybe they can take the $4.50 a day they spend on lavishing themselves, buy a normal $1 coffee or brew it at home and spend $0.10 a cup and use the remainder actually helping someone in need... you know... like Jesus preached.

People have completely lost their minds. Good lord.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

And the Lord said, "THINE PEPPERMINT MOCHA SHALL HONOR ME BY BEING PLACED IN A MERRILY DECORATIVE CUP. JUST A RED CUP IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH, YOU GUYS. SERIOUSLY. THAT'S TOTES WEAK."

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

Bring it on Starbucks...

 

[mashburned]

Starbucks gay as hell.

 

[funKYcat75]

Keurig is missing out on a HUGE marketing oppurtunity.

 

[cat_chaser]

Curious if the OP gets just as offended when his liberal idols shout war on women, war on minorities, war on poor people, war on old people, war on LGBTQIABCD.......

And they make those statements much more personal. As in, they attack real people.

"YOU don't support abortion?!? Well then, YOU are participating in a war on women!!!! How do YOU live with yourself????"

I know it sucks that once a year the Christian Right gets to holler about a war on a holiday. Never mind the fact the left gets to attack real people over their faux wars ALL YEAR. Gotta shut those complaining Christians up.

OR,..........
That such a big deal is being made by the whinning of a few, and being labeled as "Christians are offended" when in reality it should be characterized as "A few Christians are offended" (I wanted to, but refrained from adding the word "nutty") if it is even a story at all. It's being played like the majority of Christians are offended, when that is not the case.

Seriously, if that (the color of a coffee cup) is all a few people have to get offended about, then the world (in their eyes) is in pretty damn good shape.

Somewhere in the deep dark recesses of whatever brain you have left, you have to know that this isn't the same.

WHY AIN'T THERE A CROWN OF THORNS ON MY CREME BRULEE LATTE OBAMA????????

 

[RacerX.ksr]

I'm offended if they're bringing out the red cups prior to Thanksgiving.

 

[WettCat]

Get your Christian celebrations right, that would be Easter. Reindeer breath.

 

[Ukbrassowtipin]

Who cares..we talking bout cups

 

[TheEgyptianMagician]

Problem solved, on to the next issue to express some self righteous indignation

 

[cat_chaser]

Of course it's no the same. I spent the rest of my post explaining that.

Seeing that you missed it, here is why it isn't the same: one is a handful (maybe) of misguided, ridiculous Christians complaining about something a corporation is doing, while the other is a large portion of a political party using those ridiculous talking points to garner votes and power. And if they ruin your life in the process, oh well.

Is it ridiculous all the way around no matter who is doing it? Yes. Is it ridiculous that this particular OP (as liberal as they get on here) would start crying about faux wars because of this one small issue? Yes.

So, in the deep dark recesses of my brain I have, in fact, figured out they are not remotely the same. One will Be mocked and laughed at while the other will continue to be used to destroy lives and gain power.

Nailed it. I've yet to see one person complain about Starbucks' move. I only knew about it because I saw a few people complaining about THOSE people on Facebook. 24 hours later, I've yet to see anyone complaining about Starbucks.. yet I see about a dozen Social Justice Internet Warriors complaining about Christian/religion/freedom and other BS.

Agree completely. Discriminating over skin color and starbucks are exactly the same. Im glad someone had the since to bring it up in this thread.

 

[KingOfBBN]

Starbucks are huge advocates for every progressive movement with their funding so why this surprises anyone is beyond me.

It's probably just that it's irritating because of the intolerant left cries and ***** on everything being offensive to them. They're same douchebags who freak out over nativity scenes and Christmas plays.

If our society was always filled with such pussies, we'd never have won a single war. I honestly wonder what people from a 100 years ago (pick a number whatever) would think of us now.

This is what I don't understand as well. Recent surveys from Pew show that 70% of Americans identify as "Christian." Do the people who write these headlines all reside in the 30%?

They do. A Jewish media cabal hand picks journalists and what gets published.

 

[Deeeefense]

Howard Shultz is a Jew, maybe they could put minoras on the cups.

I hate to admit this, but my wife said several of our friends were on Facebook complaining about the "war" and vowing to boycott Starbucks over this. She made me promise to not look at Facebook and won't tell me who because I would go Red Foreman on them and call them dumbasses.

 

[domino79]

We need to have a national conversation about Christmas coffee cups or this stuff is going to keep happening.

Now, Dunkin Donuts is releasing a cinnamon flavor featuring a red devil on the cup dancing on baby Jesus' manger cradle. Where does it end??

A lot of people that identify themselves as Christian today are not actually Christian at all. I think a lot of people don't even understand what they believe.

Whiners whining about whiners whining about whining imo are the worst.

I ASKED FOR EXTRY MYRR ON MY CAKE POPP AND THE BATISTA TOLD ME THEY DONT SALE MYRR AND I SAYS SO WHAT ABOUT SOME FRANKENSINCE THEN AND THEY DON'T HAVE THAT EITHER WHAT IS HAPPENING?????????????????

Hopefully this will come up in the debate tonight and the candidates will have a chance to speak out on these issues.

Lol. Yeah, man, wars are won on whatever scores Internet tough guy points. Not with tactics, training, professionalism, and technology. Not with superior logistics, or an economy that was untouched and productive, indeed thriving, as other economies were ground into dust because they were in the middle of the fighting. Nope, just good ole tough guy stuff.

 

[Big_Blue79]

They reside in the economic reality that click-bait keeps them employed. "A few Christians posted some stuff that indicated they disagreed with Starbucks' decision to have plain red cups this winter" = no clicks. "Christians want to force Starbucks to display a bloody cross on all Christmas (not holiday libtards!) cups" = lots of clicks. "These 12 beautiful topless women explain how crazy Christians demand Starbucks print "It's Adam and Eve Not Adam and Steve!" on all Christmas cups" = all the clicks.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

I worked at Starbucks for 5 years and there was something that always confused me. We sold a coffee called "Christmas Blend" and played music that was religious and directly mentioned God and Jesus and what not. But then we had a sign on the cd rack once that said "Put these under your Holiday Tree"

Make your damn mind up Starbucks.

I agree, and at the same time keep their money out of Starbucks. Win-Win.

Yeah, it ain't like they are ceramic. We talking bout paper man, just paper. (with apologies to Allen Iverson) Did not want to offend anyone.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
