I wonder why dumpstarbucks.com was registered five years ago: http://www.whois.com/whois/dumpstarbucks.com

Doesn’t matter though, the petition thanking Starbucks for their support of equality is nearing 200,000 signatures. It cancels out NOM’s petition ten or twelve times over which means that all this latest anti-gay campaign will do is make NOM look desperate and foolish…again.

Funny, NOM went to court to prevent the release of names of individuals and companies that donated money to oppose marriage equality, decrying boycotts against these companies.

saw the video of the Starbucks CEO and I went right out for a grande mocha. I made a point of telling the employees there why I came in. maybe I’ll try the oatmeal for breakfast…..

Ugh. Peet’s is so much better. But I guess it’s Starbucks this weekend. Thanks a lot, NOM.

“The majority of Americans and virtually every consumer in some countries in which Starbucks operates believe that marriage is between one man and one woman.” You what? These people really have a trouble with mathematics.
Please note this well, NOM, in Australia virtually every consumer doesn’t believe in a exclusive privilege of marriage as dictated by you.
Oh and yeah, Starbucks in Oz? Meh – we ain’t that fussed, we have our own brands/chains we like better.

Pax you can get a regular coffee at Starbucks for a buck or so. That’s what I get when I go there, I don’t go for those fancy coffees.

The founder of this company is a good man who has buildt an international company with strong ethics in mind. It has been reported that Starbucks, with it’s carefully contracted coffee beans has done more to stop hunger in parts of Africa than all the NGO’s combined. He started the company with benefits and profit sharing for employees from the very start. I’m not a coffee guy and spending $5 for a cup doesn’t appeal to me, but there again I am a 54 year old crank, young people love it. LOL

I’m not a big starbucks fan. I love my home brewed Folgers original roast and don’t care if my taste buds are insufficiently cultured.

But I do like an occasional latte and I think it just became latte season.

Makes me giggle. I think Brian and Mags could certainly use a little less caffeine. :P

I think this will be as effective as AFA’s boycott of Disney (try telling hundreds of little girls that they can’t go see the latest Disney flick–I bet on-line sales of Disney videos QUADRUPLED in AFA strongholds).

Starbuck coffee STILL tastes like crud :-/

I’ve probably only had Starbucks coffee twice in my life, and thought it tasted awful. But I’m going to give it another try because I’m sure it’s going to taste a whole lot better now.
