When the coffee shops become too much?


After them caffeine withdrawals...


Really, when do the coffee shops become too much? I enjoy the spenlid java... although, I recall quality has been down since the collapse of the Java Cartel, but that's history.


But honestly, when does the coffee shop become too much?


Often, we'll concentrate strictly on the coffee shop identity of a man, before first considering what they have or not not accomplished in the present, the good, the bad and of course the ugly all within a day.


I'll be honest, the coffee shops have their advantages, but they take away from what really matters... how are feeling about them coffee shops?

When our actions in our daily lives are influenced by relationships and happenings in the coffeeshops, especially those that have no bearing on our business and dealings in these streets, then the coffeeshops are being used to an excessive degree.


Words cannot describe the contempt I have for any person who betrays their family in order to further the interests of a coffeeshop relationship, or offers superior loyalty to a group of coffeeshop acquaintances. This behavior cheapens our existence and is contrary to the type of life we are meant to lead here.

Way to dig up the past... good points though, really good points.

I hate those coffee shops on the corners. You can't exthort from the damn places and I make no money.


Though, I hate the things. To see what people are in coffee shops does not matter to me. When it does matter, decide things in our world, and become a daily part of life is when it is too much. I think they should all be burned to the ground. It is sad to see someone betray their family, that protected them from harm and supplied them with money and other things, to eventually betray them because of some "coffeshop buddies" of his.


I think we should all go on a raid and burn everylast one and stop our caffeine addictions. I never use them when a mobmail is just as efficient as a conversation.

I agree that these darned coffee shops have too much effect on our way of life, but I don't agree that it's as easy to have a conversation with someone through letters. In the coffee shop you can converse with unlimited people at one time, you can't all do that with the sending of a letter, it's nigh on impossible!

The main problem with the Coffeeshops is the people who use them.


In themselves, they are a great help to us. We have no real need for them, as our world provides places for us to discuss anything we wish confidentially. However, these places allow us to instantly communicate with other individuals and as we often choose, without the burdens of rank and formality.


This is great, we're a lazy creature and anything that eases our lives should be looked upon favourably. Yay.


The problem lies in our misuse. We discuss our business there. We use this facility to organize our events and we use these areas to correspond with aspects of our world.


This is not good. It brings with it all the formalties and consequences we tried to abandon in the first place. Thus how on Earth people are surprised that they are punished upon leaving a cofeeshop is beyond me.


Personally, I don't and haven't bothered with the #divinelunacy coffeeshop for over a year. This is because people who dislike me and people who annoy me are usually present, meaning that I can't enjoy my coffee. I imagine others are the same.


So whilst we have tears over the coffeeshops and particularly coffeeshop deaths, if people did not discuss their business in such places, then their business would not be likely to follow them.

Hmmm it would appear that there is a direct correlation between coffee shop usage and the decline in the fabric of our society.

Glances over the road to the local coffee shop


Bloody coffeshops on every corner of every street these days, talk about market supremacy, they are hell bent on world domination!

They sit there all pretty with their fancy mochachocachinos, whipped cream and marshmallows whilst us 'honest' criminals have to sneak about from Speakeasy to Gin joint. The damned government have got it all wrong, its the coffee shops that need the National Prohibition Act not the alcohol industry.


I never liked coffee anyway, too sophisticated, give me bootleg liquor over a grande latte any day of the week. Plus it turns your teeth yellow, makes your breath stink and makes you act all zany and hyper! Down with the Eighteenth Amendment I say, its the coffee guzzling, biscotti munchers who need persecuting not the hard working, respectable 'businessmen' and women of America.

Saunters off in search of a proper drink, humming a tune while he walks...


I hate the way it smells, I hate the way it tastes

I'll take a pot of coffee, throw it in your face

Coffee shops suck shit, let's burn em to the ground

Meet a coffee drinker and on his face I'll pound...

I, myself, do on occasion enjoy a fine Columbian cup. It's becoming rarer and rarer to actually get quality discussion over a cup though. I believe the last time I took time to listen in on a conversation in one, there were talks of human excrement. That type of discussion doesn't go down well with a light brown cup of coffee.


But, I digress. I would much prefer to discuss business, in business colors, if you get my meaning. There is just too much that can be overheard in a Coffee Shop, even the most secure ones are insecure.


Instant communication is an excellent benefit, but a great man once said all that's good in life is worth waiting for, if not in those exact words, the meaning is still the same.
