Starbucks

[whiffey]

Booted out of Bejing. About time too, wicked Americans.

Let's conveniently forget WWII and the disastrous racist way the USA got rid of Hitler. The USA is public enemy number one. Their culture is so alien that they have to go. Ken will love all of this, busy as he is promoting multi-culturalism (which equates to getting black or asian people into all positions of influence), and no Jews of course. My country is finished.

how on earth is your country finished because starbucks isn't in bejing anymore???

do you ever worry about yourself being not quite right in the head - or do you just tell yourself its all them that are mad and i'm the only sane one!!!

[whiffey]

No.

China's number one enemy is Japan. How did the Jews get in here exactly? You're free-associating again, aren't you?

So people's policy now should be based on a war than happened over 60 years ago?

Of course, if you make that argument, then I assume that you have no problem with the black community asking for compensation for actions that this country did around 200 year ago.

And I really didn't realise that Ken Livingstone could now affect Chinese policy - wow he really is powerful.

In fact, your 'question' is actually misleading.

Starbucks have not been thrown out of China - they have closed one of their stores (leaving almost 200 still open)

The store that they have closed is in the Forbidden City - The whole place is undergoing a restoration that includes toning down the commercial element.

Still, why let facts get in the way of your ridiculous claims.

tut tut Oneeyedvic, fancy using factual and accurate information. I think you will find that according to Site Rules that is cheating.

mmmmm Not sure what the problem is here. So they kicked out one lousy Starbucks. Theres enough of them to make up for that.Whats it got to do with Red Ken.What have the jewish community got to do with it. Why do Americans think that the rest of the world even wants or needs everything they have got to give.
And as for world war 2 for heavens sake get over it. We have.
Get with and make a sensible point.

Is there an armchair factor at play here, I have to wonder?

That DFS have got a lot to answer for.
