    i have my very own thoughts on the matter and i have been part of the rainbow phamily/family for a very long time i just want to hear your thoughts before i give you mine!!!
    loving you all forever and always
    never leaving ANYONE out

    i recently recieved this in my e-mail
    Subject: Starbucks Denies Coffee to Marines !!

    Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to
    let
    them
    know how much they liked their coffee 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.

    As a war vet writing to fellow patriots, 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 for what they and I believe is
    right.

    If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard
    it and
    no one will ever 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!!!

    fuck starbucks. First off, they make children pick their coffee beans in south america and pay them a couple of cents an hour to do so. Now they are completely degrading our men and women who have to fight over in Iraq even if they are against the war? screw them and their high priced coffee! it's one thing to not be for the war, but it's a completely different story to be against our troops.

    Starbucks Sucks!!!! Not only are those little kids getting paid almost nothing, Starbucks poisons the field with pesticides before they send the kids (and pregnant women) out to pick the beans.

    But as much as I hate Starbucks, they certainly should support the troops; Starbucks should not only send them coffee but also all the extras (flavored coffees & creamers, ect) I'm against the war but I support the troops; they didn't start the war, Bush & Haliburton (the company that's making all the money off this war) did.

    Maybe someone should contact an organic coffee company & see if they would be willing to send the Marines some good coffee (it's got to taste better ;-)! )

    sorry brother all that does is basically prove my point by saying the High holy starbucks supports the troops but doesnt want to ship them the coffee but its ok cause many of there employees send them coffee
    well i dont support the war but i feel for anyone that is over there~~~ so the soldier cant find the letter that starbucks wrote him ((((( he's in war)))))) im sure that didnt get put in his pocket for a keep sake and why wouldnt starbucks directly comment on this specific topic it may not all be 100% true but i do believe the facts are in order
    thank you for the whole story it help me understand even more why the corperate masses such as starbucks and Walmart are slowly turning this country into a self loathing cesspool of a place
    i love America and i love what it stands for but i dont think the government knows what its suppose to stand for anymore and thats a sad thing to say
    all my love and blessing

    Love and light

    i think it all depends on whose working wen they give u shit about freebies and using the bathroom...however im sure the corporate policy of starbucks goes something like this" money money, money money money, money, MORE MONEY!"...i bet they dont give two shits about the war, they just dont want to give anybody freebies, whether in iraq or anywhere...

    That's a shame to hear.

    Tim Horton's set up thier shop in Afghanistan for the Canadian troups so it's not like it's logisitcally impossible or anything.

    another corporate policy is 'Let's see if we can run the little guy out of business by moving in next door!'
