So, what do you think of FB now?

Why not boycott them?

I'll be heading to the nearest Starbucks on the 24th and hope it'll be a record day for them rather like Chick-fil-A had when the anti crowd insisted on a boycott.

There is no way to debate with them. They are emotional shills who will give everything up in order to get their way. They have no moral compass.

What bothers me the most is that they are willing to give up certain rights that they see as "evil", even when they don't use them. They forget the 2nd protects ALL rights.

I thought this was America? Not England

Now that they've deleted all of the pro-2a comments, you can read through their supporters' comments. Most haven't been to a Starbucks in years, so this is likely to backfire as a lot of us seem to be planning on going.

I frequent Starbucks. I also carry concealed in there. I vote with my wallet and Starbucks seems to be neutral, so I will continue to purchase there.

One cannot have an honest debate if you shout down or cut out the side that you disagree with. This is the Liberal mantra.

it has nothing to do with facebook, it was the group, they had their page set to "public", as soon as word got out and pro-gun posts started showing up on their page and a debate had to happen, they closed it up, "members only", stripped off all the pro-gun posts and seem to be monitoring the posts. Why would that make me boycott facebook, it was their right to do what they want to their own page, it's what libs do, it's sad, but it's what they do.

We bought a Keurig coffee maker, so we rarely get coffee out. Looks like I'll have to run by and get one this Saturday though.

$2=2A

I believe it is a symbol for the 2nd Amendment.
