You may think that Starbucks is this big giant evil corporate organization that cannot be stopped, but here's proof that [URL=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2002508116_webstarbucks20.html]they still lose when faced with a bunch of holier-than-thou Baptist soccer moms[/URL].

As punishment for this stupidity, I vote that all involved should have to watch [URL=http://www.apple.com/trailers/focus_features/brokeback_mountain.html]this movie[/URL].

I'm so sick of everything lately.

I always laugh at people who do this shit. All they do is move the offensive material from one medium (the coffee cups) to another (the newspapers) while still keeping it in the public eye.

Normally, I'd say fuck Christians for thinking they own the planet, but it was at a Baptist school where people can be prissy assholes if they want to.

I will concede that this is a private school, and those paying for that school should have permission to dictate what is and is not made available in such a venue.

But I will not concede my right to mock their idiocy in a public forum.

it would be a lot more satisfying if some folks from the school came here and argued
as it is its basically preaching to the choir, so to speak

True. [URL=http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=1675876]Tune into channel fark[/URL] where it's much more free-for-all. I don't know about "satisfying", but "entertaining" for sure.

No disrespect intended, they are definitely mock worthy. They can dish it out--like children being compelled to say "Under God" in public schools--but they can't take it. I say gay cups for all Christian universities until the pledge is changed back to the original.

this just shows the public when our country is in the middle of major crisis, eg, housing for flood victims, lack of basic needs, food clothing, schooling, how misguided religious zealots are....I used to get so mad over crap like that, but now i just laugh at their stupidity...very small worlds some people live in

this from the same religious entity that allowed a KKK member to be a minister. seems par for the course.

If I were a soccer mom I would be more concerned that the cup has a swear on it.

Peets is only in California. And the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is better if you can get it.

Nice quote on the cup though.

You should sue, not for the money, but so they have to print a warning on the cup that says [I]Spilling hot beverages on your engorged phallus may result in serious injury.[/I]

I got a caramel macchiato today. It has a quote from Nikki Giovanni about the relationship between poetry and food.

I have to give them props, these are some pretty damn good quotes.

My wife loves those things. I have to practice the order before going in if I'm picking one up for her: "Yes, a Venti Triple Nonfat Sugar-Free-Vanilla Caramel Macchiato, please." It's like learning another freakin' language - Starbuckish?

This oppression of gay pride by Baylor soccer moms may well be ridiculous. However, one could easily point out dozens of instances of oppression of Christian expression carried out in this very manner.

As this took place at a private Christian University, I hardly see why this would even qualify as news. I'm no Christian, but I can certainly see where they are coming from.

I'm saddenned that the same people who seem so up in arms about someone stifiling a pro-gay sentiment could give two shits less about the overwhelming force of political correctness ruining this nation. Just remember, it isn't a Christmas party anymore folks, its a fucking "Winter Holiday Celebration." Also, keep in mind that the term "refugee" is racist.

Anyway, I'm bored/annoyed at work so take my comments with a grain of salt or just ignore them.
