That's the way I see it, anyway.

84 years, hell. It's been at least since Elizabeth I appointed that nitwit as governor. Of course, the Irish could've defeated the English back then if they hadn't betrayed each other all over their island.

Not sure what that has to do with Canada, really.

Hehe, me too. Vitamin T is the poison of choice when we're touring (especially when you're driving the van at 3 a.m. through freezing rain and the drummer is blasting another prog rock CD, must be a drummer thing?

), but for enjoyment, I sure do prefer Starbucks (clique image and trendiness aside).

As to the Canada/muslim/terrorist thing, I'd glad we nailed the idiots, and hope our guard stays up while at the same time, I hope we don't lose any of the freedoms we hold dear (and which our forefathers fought and died for).

Starbucks is getting their ass handed to them by Tim Hortons on our campus. Having sampled both I prefer Tim's. Maybe they have different coffee's in different regions? How is Starbucks doing in other regions?

This is a good example of teachings in the mosques in Canada......jihad. Hell, these guys were born in Canada! I would suggest to Canada to send these radicals to our Guantonomo base for rehab!

Are you on crack? Oh, wait a minute, crack is the stuff they put in the Tim Horton's up there... that's why I like it so much! Nevermind....

They are HUGE. One on every other street corner of most major cities in the US. I often see 2 or 3 locations within line-of-sight of each other. They are becoming the "McDonald's" of coffee (but with a much better product).

I've got to disagree with you there. McDonalds coffee is much better than Starbucks, IMHO. I think McDonalds coffee might vary from one region to another. I was in Boston a while back and all the McDonalds had signs saying that they now serve Green Mountain coffee (which is also better than Starbucks). Meanwhile, in Northern Virginia, the McDonalds started serving a new brand of coffee, but they didn't advertise it as Green Mountain.

Starbucks coffee is much too strong and bitter for my taste. If I liked cream and/or sugar in my coffee, maybe I would feel differently.

The only one exception is the Sikhs maybe, because they have a history as being warriors... but they are also nice people and in no way extremists in any way. It's too bad that Indians have to put up with it... BTW... I don't consider Pakistanis as being "Indians".... there's a fine difference there for sure. I hope that Pakistan will one day change into a country similar to Turkey; Turkey is predominantly Muslim but they are very accepting of other cultures and have excellent relations with other countries including the US and Israel.

Turkey, secular though it is compared to other Muslim nations, has nothing to be proud of concerning its relations with Greece, and the Kurds within their own borders.

You are insane. There is no comparison.

Starbucks definitely does not serve the absolute best coffee on the planet, but they are LEAGUES ahead of the weak dirt-water that McDonald's serves.

Very true. Their record is far from spotless...

But they have definitely a strong lead on their extremist, idiot neighbors.

Somebody brought some Starbucks coffee into the office and made it in our regular drip coffee maker. Now, our town water is fairly nasty, so it was not a fair trial, but that might have been the worst coffee I have ever tasted. I've also tried coffee made at Starbucks stores. I find it almost undrinkable. On the other hand, I will go out of my way to find a McDonalds when I want a cup of take-out coffee.

Starbucks is doing very well in my area, everyone goes to Starbucks.

I dislike coffee, but I don't see the attraction. Their other stuff is expensive and pretty lame.

Gotta agree here. I drink regular black coffee. Starbucks is very nasty in that flavor. I try to avoid them everywhere. Not to mention that they are way overpriced for what they offer.

Well, the anology is clear to me :Canada , since I've here since 1954, and a citizen to-booth, is a suck!. Our Immigration laws and Refugee regulations have created a haven for many good people, but also for those ****-pot Muslim Radicals who are bent on destroying our society.
