Michelle Incanno says she was a Starbucks addict, buying beans and coffee drinks frequently. The Springboro, Ohio, woman recently got a cup of joe at her neighborhood outlet when she noticed something new on her cup: a quotation that, Starbucks says, is designed to "collect different viewpoints and spur discussion." The company invites replies on its web site. The quote on Incanno's cup read:

I was just telling my husband yesterday how upset I was about a Starbucks cup I got. The whole quote on my cup was in spanish. No translation or anything. I understand that "quotes do not reflect the opinions of Starbucks", yadda yadda yadda, but they should at least do some more thinking before putting them into print.

Yeah, while I don't agree with the quote, I can't see getting my hackles up about it. Starbucks has many controversial quotes because they get conversations going. The point behind the quotes is great and I think they raise some interesting questions.

I don't mind the quotes either, I see quotes I don't agree with everyday. They're usually a good discussion starter, some of my firends and I will call each other and talk about a quote we got on a cup. So I think it's cool.

Hmm, funny that "freedom of speech" is always on the side of the UNBELIEVER.Even our kids cant mention "God" in yearbooks, at graduations, etc. Where is that "freedom of speech" Believers are part of the new "dont tell" policy. As it states it is a figment of imagination, I would think that is the case. As a believer, I would rather die and be wrong than be an unbeliever and die and be wrong. My Bible states that if we deny God here on earth, He will also deny us in Heaven. The alternatives doesnt sound like where I want to put my Happy Feet. I would be offended by either cup ( I want my message in ENGLISH too) and would refuse to pay for it if served that way and would let them know why. MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Coming from a previous STARBUCKS addict here in Starbucksville near Seattle. Karen
