This guy told me
So tonight at work the best thing ever happened to me.
And by best I mean retarded.
So I'm just chillin' making awesome drinks like I always do when this guy who looks to be in his late 40's asks about Startbucks stance on the War in Iraq. Since I was the only one who knew about it I had to explain to this guy that Starbucks was asked to donate coffee to the troops over in Iraq but because Startbucks CEO's did not agree with the USA being in Iraq the politely declined saying "we do not wish to support any side of the war". After explaining this to the man he then stated "well then I'll pretend not to be here" I then asked him what he meant and he kept asking about why Starbucks wouldn't support the troops. As I tried to stay off of my political soap box, I just kept trying to reinforce the point that Starbucks as a company doesn't want to take a stand on something they don't believe in. He then asked me what I believe in. Since I was at work I couldn't just go off on the guy like I wanted so I just told him that I personally don't believe that war is the answer to anything and like to preach peace. Then insisted on asking me how peace would solve the war or how I would solve the war. At this point I told him I was only a 17 year old boy who had no business running an administration. He repleaded with "Oh! You're 17. Of course you believe in peace. You haven't came to your senses yet about what really matters". At this point I could have screamed at him but still have to reframe myself because I was at work and told him that I would like to believe what I believe now and that everyone is intuited to an opinion and respect. He then told me that I know nothing and that the only way to solve violence is with more violence. He then gave me a brief history lesson on how America is going down the toilet. I kept my mouth shut AND THE HE SAID THE BEST THING EVER. "What are you going to do when the Asians from China come over and invade our country? You going to sit back and practice peace? I don't think so." I then handed him his latte and wished him a nice day.
I could have killed him. Not only did he not regard me as a person because of my age but he also was a raciest bastard. Also great way to try to debate the kid that has most likely done a hell of a lot more research on this then you and has actually taken classes like "current issues" and already disguised this to form my OWN opinion. The only way to stop violence is not with more violence I don't care what anybody says.
That man was retarded.
Also ASU was this week. The only word to describe it was: Douche Bag.
In the literal sense, funny sense, and the way some acted.
Over all some good and bad memories.
Things I'm looking forward to:
being able to enjoy the musical
being able to have money again
being able to see him more then once a week
SUPER CONGRESS
Harvard (+ GMU people)
peace and love
