Sounds like a good enough reasons to create unstability in that region, waste Billions of Dollars, have hundreds of American Soldiers killed and thousands maimed not to mention the thousands of Civilian killed and maimed:roll:

Create instability? When was it stable???

Is your solution to crime to surround a criminal's home and "contain" him without actually stopping him?
Seems to be our MO in N Korea, Iran, Syria and the rest of the world.

How many Iraqi civilian lives did we save by stopping Saddam's reign of murder and terror on his own people?
By killing them ourselves?

So you want us to engage in wars in all these countries as well? Your notion seems to be that we can either attack them all at the same time, or none of them.

We should only go to war when our own National Security is in danger..like in Afghanistan!

took me 12 minutes to get a stupid large black coffee, which should have taken all of 20 seconds



Sorry, I highly doubt that happened as I used to work there. We don't even have flavored coffees so I don't know what you're smoking, and as for the size, that's most likely possible but anyone who's worked at Starbucks for more than 20 seconds would just say ok when you said large.

Sigh... Again, NK Iran and Syria were not, and are not under the obligation to disarm per a cease fire agreement with specific penalties for transgression.

Was our defeat of Germany wrong because Civilians were killed in the war? Should we have left Hitler in power and let him kill all the "undesirables?"

lol @ how hijacked this threat got.

btw, people don't like starbucks because it drives independently owned coffee shops out of business. people are sheep and will go to the big, popular chain before the little guy. not to worry though, if one burned down two more will take its place!

It's sad but it's not some guy's business. Starbucks is a privately owned company that doesn't franchise right?

Correct....
Does Starbucks Franchise?
Starbucks does not franchise operations and has no plans to franchise in the foreseeable future.

In North America, the majority of our stores are Company-operated. As an exception, Starbucks may enter into licensing arrangements with companies who provide access to real estate which would otherwise be unavailable such as airport locations, national grocery chains, major food services corporations, college and university campuses and hospitals.

Star Bucks Hate is soooooooo 1998 . Their coffee is still overated. Any other coffee house will be just as good, and an independent place will be better. But still, hating star bucks became lame after Austin Powers.

I'm not keeping track. It's just getting all angry off about star bucks was big in the late 90's, and now Star Bucks is just a fact of life. I was kind of pissed when they opened one in gainesville next door to a cool independent place, but guess what? The cool independent place consistently has more customers. Only people without taste and stupid Republicans go over to that star bucks. People who know good coffee go over to Maude's. Star Bucks do well in strip malls because they are a brand that people in their cars can see and go "hey, I want some coffee." They're like McDonalds. Put them in a close environment where people walk, and the cool coffee place will outperform the crappy brand name.
