Coach, do you think there's a spare brain out there that could occupy the vacant space between your ears?
I do hope so.

I occupy Starbucks almost every day. Sometimes, I take my laptop with me and post on Getbig, other times I check messages on my smart phone while I am there. Occasionally, if I am hungry, I order one of their egg salad sandwiches to go with my usual Grande Chai Latte. I pay for my purchase using my smart phone. And because I am so super rich, I often toss a dollar or two in their tip jar. I am such a regular occupier, all the employees know me by name. Often my drink is ready for me before I even pay for it. I occupy Starbucks so often that I am always getting those little cards in the mail telling me it is time for my free drink. On those days, I get a Venti Chai Latte.

I occupy Starbucks, oh yeah. LOL!

newt mocking them, saying they need to take a bath - it reminds me of Palin mocking community organizers in 2008.  What happened?  Every community organizer in america spent 2 months on the "get out the vote" effort, and obama kicked the crap out of mccain/palin in the general election.

OWS will probably get obama elected.   Sucks, but it's the truth.

Why are you so insistent in thinking that Obama will get reelected? It's just not in the cards with a terrible economy, rising inflation, and horrible unemployment.

i know that in 32 years, the only incumbent to lose was buch 1992, due to Perot taking 18% of the vote.
Presidents can change history to win election.  They can cheat like crazy.  Ohio 2004... power outages and exit polls showing Kerry destroying Bush... then repubs SUED to have the paper ballots destroyed so there couldn't be a recount.

The people in charge get away with anything they want.  If it's close, I guarantee Obama steals it.

I've heard that. full benefits and a half-way decent starting wage for a place that sells drinks. And in all fairness of their coffee, it really is no more expensive then say "Dunkin Donuts" coffee. Starbucks coffee here is $2.45 for their largest cup. Its all the other fancy drinks that are a complete rip off.

1-Overpopulation; people who breed for welfare checks, dont care about giving an education and hapiness to their children, are ignorant/useless/parasites. Often the same who dont contribute at all to society/their country/mankind/their specie.

2-Too many educated people with diplomas, but not enough good jobs. Means a lot have useless piece of papers and years of useless studies behind them. Congrats, it was a waste of time.

3-The whole third world population that occidental elites imported in the west to lower salaries and make bigger profits is ready to work for almost nothing just to live in the first world which means all the shitty jobs are for them.

4-Globalization; all social classes of the whole world are mixed together, and this unified giant country is still a pyramidal society with the richest, smartest,better educated /taken care of by their parents/family on top and dumbest, less educated, poorer at the bottom.
The same story repeating itself over and over.

5-Ressources are getting rarer and rarer and everyone will be fighting for them.

At some point all of this will end very, very badly. We will see a major process of natural selection at work in the human specie in the next 20 to 50 years. It's what we call a world war.

When things do get really really bad and shit hits the fan, it will be the middle/upper class who will be in the most trouble. The poor already know struggle and living in filth and shit. Sure a major percentage of poor will die off. but the middle/upper middle will become poor almost over night. With very little skills on how to live in shit. Some massive suicides for these people will coming. And lets not forget a huge number of so called rich people who are hanging on be a string. These people will be diving out of buildings like there's no tomorrow.

Title: Re: Occupy Starbucks..
Post by: Primemuscle on November 25, 2011, 11:29:31 PM
Highest regarded by whom?

By me for one. However, I wasn't being very clear in my earlier post. He is highly regarded for his humanitarianism (in part due to his tireless work with Habitat for Humanity and his overall humility and honesty.

Below, I have outlined some of his accomplishments since his Presidency ended:

Notwithstanding perceptions while Carter was in office, his reputation has much improved. Carter's presidential approval rating, which sat at 31% just prior to the 1980 election, was polled in early 2009 at 64%. Carter's continued post-Presidency activities have also been favorably received. Carter explains that a great deal of this change was owed to Reagan's successor, George H. W. Bush, who actively sought him out and was far more courteous and interested in his advice than Reagan had been.

In 2002, President Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work "to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development" through The Carter Center.Three sitting presidents, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Barack Obama, have received the prize; Carter is unique in receiving the award for his actions after leaving the presidency. He is, along with Martin Luther King, Jr., one of only two native Georgians to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

Bill Clinton secretly recruited Carter to undertake a peace mission to North Korea, under the guise that it was a private mission of Carter's. Clinton saw Carter as a way to let North Korean President Kim Il-sung back down without losing face.
 
Carter negotiated an understanding with Kim Il-sung, but went further and outlined a treaty, which he announced on CNN without the permission of the Clinton White House as a way to force the US into action. The Clinton Administration signed a later version of the Agreed Framework, under which North Korea agreed to freeze and ultimately dismantle its current nuclear program and comply with its nonproliferation obligations in exchange for oil deliveries, the construction of two light water reactors to replace its graphite reactors, and discussions for eventual diplomatic relations.
 
The agreement was widely hailed at the time as a significant diplomatic achievement.

In August 2010, Carter traveled to North Korea in an attempt to secure the release of Aijalon Mahli Gomes. Gomes, a U.S. citizen, was sentenced to eight years of hard labor after being found guilty of illegally entering North Korea. Carter successfully secured the release.

Carter and experts from The Carter Center assisted unofficial Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in designing a model agreement for peace–-called the Geneva Accord–-in 2002–2003.
 
Carter has also in recent years become a frequent critic of Israel's policies in Lebanon, West Bank, and Gaza.

Carter visited Cuba in May 2002 and had full discussions with Fidel Castro and the Cuban government. He was allowed to address the Cuban public uncensored on national television and radio with a speech that he wrote and presented in Spanish. In the speech, he called on the US to end "an ineffective 43-year-old economic embargo" and on Castro to hold free elections, improve human rights, and allow greater civil liberties. He met with political dissidents; visited the AIDS sanitarium, a medical school, a biotech facility, an agricultural production cooperative, and a school for disabled children; and threw a pitch for an all-star baseball game in Havana. The visit made Carter the first President of the United States, in or out of office, to visit the island since the Cuban revolution of 1959.

These are but a few of his accomplishments since his Presidency.

Carter visited Cuba in May 2002 and had full discussions with Fidel Castro and the Cuban government. He was allowed to address the Cuban public uncensored on national television and radio with a speech that he wrote and presented in Spanish. In the speech, he called on the US to end "an ineffective 43-year-old economic embargo" and on Castro to hold free elections, improve human rights, and allow greater civil liberties. He met with political dissidents; visited the AIDS sanitarium, a medical school, a biotech facility, an agricultural production cooperative, and a school for disabled children; and threw a pitch for an all-star baseball game in Havana. The visit made Carter the first President of the United States, in or out of office, to visit the island since the Cuban revolution of 1959.

These are but a few of his accomplishments since his Presidency.




Carter was one of them and supported the communist agenda, why else do you think he was able to this? It's not exactly a secret he was friends these dictators. Do you actually think he had a way about him that no one else did?

No, but not all "jobs" should have to do this. Starbucks sells drinks. These are very good jobs for college kids or recent grads who can't find a high paying job.
Stabucks also sells "gourmet" premade meals...their couscous curry chicken is the shit...but, these meals are highly overpriced.

I agree with you on Starbucks pricing on some food items. The breakfast sandwiches are priced OK, but I think $6 for an egg salad sandwich is a bit much....and yet, I pay the price because I am too lazy to make an egg salad sandwich at home.
