Default Startbucks to be boycotted






[blockquote]

Guess I will not be drinking Starbucks any more....




Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let
them know how much they liked their coffees and to request that they
send some of it to the troops there.


Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their support of
their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone
in it, and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee.


So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should not support them by
buying any of their products! I feel we should get this out in the open.

I know this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that
doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the ground fighting
street-to-street and house-to-house.


If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard
it and no one will never know.


Thanks very much for your support. I know you'll all be there again when

I deploy once more.

PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS ..
ALLOW IT TO BE PASSED TO ALL
IN MEMORY OF ALL THE TROOPS WHO HAVE DIED
SO THAT WE MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO
CHOOSE TO SUPPORT THEM OR NOT!!!

So what the hell does your post mean other then you won't be drinking Starbucks which is what I'm sure you meant instead of Startbucks. LOL
I just realized it was white on white. I don't drink any of that overpriced crap anyway and it don't mean sh*t to me if anyone is carrying a Starbucks status cup or McDees, in fact if your carrying a McDees cup of coffee your a lot smarter and saving money and it tastes better then Barfbucks way overpriced coffeeanyway. JMHO

This is a fake. Like HDWG stated above, it never happened. The internet is full of this crap. Enjoy your coffee.

That white text on the white background is a bit tough to read, but if you highlight it, it can be read. BUT - it is BS anyway:
