Support Zionism - and Starbucks....

BeQuiet

In light of the Israeli attack on the so-called aid flotilla", I thought it might be useful to encourage people to support businesses on either side of the debate on who is right / who is wrong in this whole Zionist Vs Arab debate.
Starbucks is one business that (at least used to, until recently) nails its colours to the mast so to speak - the CEO there is a big supporter of Israel.

So - it’s a simple enough decision - if you support Israel and its policies , put your money where your mouth is (literally), and shop at Starbucks.

And if not - shop elsewhere!

But think about it, before you spend your hard earned ... your money flows on to someone else ... and you may want it to be spent on bullets and barbed wire, etc ... but then again , maybe you don't.

Danbo!

Ah, BeQuiet

This thread is now about cartoons.

I like the Simpsons, but Famiy Guy is growing on me.

You'd be better off doing some study for your Junior Cert like a good little fella.

Stay on topic.

Not to be misconstrued as "back-seat modding".

You could avoid all produce with a bar code beginning 729 ... or buy loads of stuff with it depending on your point of view.

Coffee & jews, I think. As far as I can make out, you shouldn't drink coffee, because it has chemicals in it that can turn you into a Jew.

No Starbucks for at least 100 miles from me, thank fúck. There is however a Palestine flag flying on the welcome sign to the town.

Sorry, I'm currently on a 'support starbucks' campaign because unlike Peet's, they didn't cave into media pressure and decided that the law of the land in their stores locations would be the policies that they would follow.

While we deeply respect the views of all our customers, Starbucks long-standing approach to this issue remains unchanged. We comply with local laws and statutes in all the communities we serve. That means we abide by the laws that permit open carry in 43 U.S. states. Where these laws don’t exist, openly carrying weapons in our stores is prohibited. The political, policy and legal debates around these issues belong in the legislatures and courts, not in our stores

I wouldn't buy a single product at Starbucks. Not because it has anything to do with Isreal. But because what they serve is an insult to coffee.

What about maritime law?

Also, anyone know if Mace has a policy on firearms?

Well I don't feel robbed of the last ten minutes of my life. Not at all.
Thanks OP.
We already have a thread open on this debate. I don't really want to bring coffee into that debate at this time of night.
