Honestly, there was always some level of bullshit in starbucks, but I can remember it being mixed with good stuff. ie perplexing philosphical discussions mixed with threads about Swedish nympho ninjas, actual political -debates-, not " I don't agree with you, communist!" etc.
Take for example this thread:
How? *Very Angry*
If he had made that yesterday, the responses would have been a lot more immature and less sincere then they were back then.
