    Your coffee is sucks!

    Wow! Perfect english :)

  • someone

    does it really matter? are you the grammar bogeyman?

  • http://www.aliwritings.blogspot.com Ali

    No I'm not. And it doesn't matter much. But i really get bothered when there is a obvious grammar mistake and the person acts as if it's 100% right.

  • someone

    you can't start a sentence with and.. and you can't start a sentence with but.. use a comma.. and you should say “an obvious” not “a obvious” also, the word English should be capitalized in your first comment.. (btw, i'm not paying attention to grammar in my comments)

  • Mariam

    Ali,

    Life is too short for you to worry about a silly grammatical mistake… people are dying around the world and you are worried about a grammatical mistake? Man i think you should set your priorities right! with all due respect!

    Someone… thank you for your comment…

    Wow. I sounded so lame didn't i ? I don't know what to say but i just can't handle grammar mistakes specially in such important situations such as this protest.

    I agree completely that this is the last thing i should pay attention to, I should focus on the cause and the Palestinians who are being killed on daily bases.

    Sorry!

    I realize I'm mentioning a side-issue, but why do we act so sure that starbucks is really a zionist army supporter? Starbucks' official website explicitly denies this, and as a public limited company, its records are all available freely in U.S. departments and have been investigated and were proven to not be linked directly or indirectly to any Israeli monetary support (whether its the army or not). The only link Starbucks has to Israel is that its chairman (of a pulbic limited company ,that is, an ordinary guy with a lot of shares in it) is a supporter of Israel, but even him was not shown to give any money to Israel. But still, the profits of Starbucks cannot go to Israel, but instead dividends (which I dont think Starbucks gives, but even if it does, they wouldn't be considerable) and increase in share price (if he decides to sell his shares), and his regular salary if any. But still, if thats the case, then every public limited company that might have a small employee or shareholder give money to the IDF (there are many donors so its likely) is an evil zionist supporter, which is bullocks, because I'm sure there are big employees and shareholders in Starbucks (SBUX) who are avid supporters of a palestinian cause.

    And same goes to mcdonalds, this whole thing with boycott is is just silly.

    And I'm not saying boycott is silly, but I'm saying we should boycott and divest from companies that matter, such as Caterpillar that assists in the demolition of Palestinian homes.

  • Mohanned

    LOL

  • Hamzeh N.

    A company only needs to have an office in Haifa to be listed on the boycott list.

    I know because I worked for one such company :D
