I got a tea in Starbucks, and I have the following observations.
1. The tea costs more than the coffee. This is retarded; you should just buy a coffee, spill it on the counter, and ask for a free refill of tea.
2. The tea price varies by the size. This is retarded; it is just a few ounces more water and a bit more paper, since it is the same tea bag. And refills are free anyway.
And you are all retarded for not thinking of this.
December 4, 2011 7:36 pm at 7:36 pm #1198817Bar ShattyaMemberAnd you are retarded for not doing it. And for not thinking of it earlier. And for buying tea.
December 4, 2011 7:36 pm at 7:36 pm #1198818usa-tralianParticipantPlease do not use the Loshon of retarded in such a sense. I learned this lesson when I said it to someone who has a close relative who is mentally retarded, and he was deeply offended by the use of such a word in a derogatory manner. Please be considerate of others in the use of such language. Thank you.
December 4, 2011 7:36 pm at 7:36 pm #1198819yentingyentaParticipantand if i like coffee more, i’ll just get more coffee. and why spill it in the first place? then YOU (popa) look like the retard
December 4, 2011 7:36 pm at 7:36 pm #1198820WolfishMusingsParticipantConsidering the fact that I rarely drink coffee or tea, why would you say that I am retarded for not noticing this?
(Note: I’m not saying that I am not, in fact, retarded. I’m just curious how you came to this conclusion based on my lack of experience with the prices of coffee and tea).
December 4, 2011 7:41 pm at 7:41 pm #1198821doodle jumpParticipantPopa: Funny:) I never understood people who go to Dunkin and order tea. Why would you pay for tea when you can make it at home.
Coffee is a totally different thing. Dunkin donuts coffee is the best. Much, much better than starbucks. I find that starbucks coffee is very bitter.
December 4, 2011 7:43 pm at 7:43 pm #1198822popa_bar_abbaParticipantusa-tralian:
I have explained this numerous times. I am acquainted with numerous fools, idiots, dolts, stupidheads, morons, clowns, meshugayim, crazy people, slow people, nuts, and kookoos. And I don’t want to use their condition as a pejorative. That is why I only call people retards.
My illustrated brother calls people dolts, and you will need to ask him why.
December 4, 2011 7:44 pm at 7:44 pm #1198823MindOverChatterParticipantAnd YOU guys are all retarded for responding so quickly. That was this Retard’s idea, and you, like retards are playing along.
Now, I for one, will NOT be part of this retardation. Which is why I didn’t respond, retard.
Mods, I think it’s time to change Bar Shattya’s subtitle to “Official Retard Of The CR”. What do you think?
December 4, 2011 7:48 pm at 7:48 pm #1198824Bar ShattyaMemberI know a guy who worked in camp chaveirim for many years and always calls them retarded when not to their face. He’s my hero
December 4, 2011 7:49 pm at 7:49 pm #1198825ZeesKiteParticipant1)How do you ask mechila from everybody Except Popa?
2) If you have a problem with your tea, you could dump it into the Boston Harbor.
December 4, 2011 8:35 pm at 8:35 pm #1198826ToiParticipanttea is bad. who the heck drinks tea.
December 4, 2011 10:32 pm at 10:32 pm #1198827🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantAlthough I think popa is hysterical, and buying tea is stupid, I actually find this thread more offensive then the aforemention, now closed thread! You may not agree with usa-trailian, but it isn’t necessary to ‘shtoch’ him like that.
December 4, 2011 10:55 pm at 10:55 pm #1198828OneOfManyParticipantHey, popa, is your brother the Illustrated Man that some dude wrote a book about?
December 4, 2011 11:13 pm at 11:13 pm #1198829popa_bar_abbaParticipantAnd listen to this:
A small coffee costs 1.50, and a small tea costs like 1.85.
So you imagine that the teabag costs them more than the coffee- probably since they don’t make it.
But then, a refill of coffee is $0.50, while a new tea bag is $0.30!
So how does that make sense?
My theory for this, is that people who drink tea are more likely to be the people who are sitting there all day, so they want to capture that value.
Then, the tea is actually cheaper which is why the refills are cheaper.
December 5, 2011 12:16 am at 12:16 am #1198830yitayningwutParticipantlol i think he meant illustrious
December 5, 2011 12:23 am at 12:23 am #1198831OneOfManyParticipantCouldn’t resist. (I know, I know – it was NOT funny…:P)
December 5, 2011 12:27 am at 12:27 am #1198832popa_bar_abbaParticipantI did mean that. But I always say illustrated. On purpose.
I think it’s funny, and I don’t really care whether anyone else agrees or not.
December 5, 2011 1:33 am at 1:33 am #1198833OneOfManyParticipantI think it’s funny, too, and I don’t care if you agree with ME, either.
December 5, 2011 3:26 pm at 3:26 pm #1198834miritchkaMemberi agree with usa-tralian, this thread is very offensive. I hope none of you have to live with someone who has MR, and for those of you who know someone with MR and played along on this thread, shame on you!
December 5, 2011 4:13 pm at 4:13 pm #1198835soliekMemberon the subject of starbucks…i buy their beans, grind them fresh every morning and enjoy cup after cup of excellent coffee. when i actually order coffee at starbucks its disgusting, burned and bitter…HOW DO THEY GET THEIR OWN COFFEE WRONG?!
December 5, 2011 4:19 pm at 4:19 pm #1198836ddParticipantThis thread is hurtful and offensive to many people.
I understand that someone would use the word retarded in an offensive way because they didn’t know any better. But now you do know better. A number of commenters have explained that it is offensive.
If anyone here claims to be shomer mitzvos, they wouldn’t partake in hurting other people – especially after they were made aware that their language was hurtful.
Mods, please delete this thread.
December 5, 2011 4:34 pm at 4:34 pm #1198837popa_bar_abbaParticipantA number of commenters have explained that it is offensive.
Nobody has explained anything.
A number of commenter have asserted that it is offensive. There is an unsubtle difference.
If you wish to explain why it is offensive, you will need to define offensive as an objective term, and then show why this fits into that definition.
Then, if I agree with your definition, and agree with your evidence or logical argument that it fits into the definition, I will agree it is offensive.
Then, if you wish me to stop, you will have to define why you think it is improper to do things which are offensive (in the manner that you defined offensive).
If I agree with that, I will stop. Naturally.
December 5, 2011 4:40 pm at 4:40 pm #1198838MiddlePathParticipantpopa, please take a look at this: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/apologizing-its-wonderful
December 5, 2011 4:44 pm at 4:44 pm #1198839soliekMember😀 middlepath! long time no pixel 😀
December 5, 2011 4:51 pm at 4:51 pm #1198840ZeesKiteParticipantI don’t know if it’s offensive or not. It’s not a refined word. It’s not becoming of our esteemed Popa.
December 5, 2011 5:10 pm at 5:10 pm #1198841smartcookieMemberPopa you should be ashamed of yourself. I never understood why your posts that label people retarded make it through here.(Which make up about 50% of your posts)
Anyone here can have a mentally retarded child, sibling, or other family member and can easily be hurt by this.
Popa, you may be funny, but you will have to give an account one day of every word you said/wrote.
December 5, 2011 5:17 pm at 5:17 pm #1198842popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m not sure I like being an esteemed Popa. I like saying funny things. I think this is funny.
I will explain:
Funny means something which gives me joy in a certain unphysical way- not because something joyful has happened, but because the abstract thought itself gives me joy.
I am getting that joy when I call certain ideas “retarded” on this site. Thus, it is funny.
If you can convince me to feel guilt when I do it, and that guilt is more than the current joy I feel, then I will naturally stop.
December 5, 2011 5:29 pm at 5:29 pm #1198843popa_bar_abbaParticipantPopa you should be ashamed of yourself.
I don’t want to. You may feel free to be ashamed of me, if you wish.
I never understood why your posts that label people retarded make it through here.
I label people retarded? Me? No, you are the one labeling people retarded: Anyone here can have a mentally retarded child, sibling, or other family member…
I would never call a person retarded for reasons of actual mental deficiency. I would feel guilt if I did.
(Guilt is a feeling of hurt in a very non physical way- not because something painful has happened, but because I have done something the memory of which causes me hurt. It usually manifests when I have done things which are against what we call “morals”. I will define “morals” a different time.)
December 5, 2011 5:52 pm at 5:52 pm #1198844smartcookieMemberYup yup pops, people love finding excuses for their actions.
December 5, 2011 5:56 pm at 5:56 pm #1198845MiddlePathParticipantsoliek, yea, I haven’t been here much lately. And honestly, I think it’s best for me to not be here so much anyway.
popa, did you take a look at that thread? I think there’s some helpful stuff in there.
December 5, 2011 6:01 pm at 6:01 pm #1198846popa_bar_abbaParticipantYup yup pops, people love finding excuses for their actions.
Agreed. And I might do so, if anyone were to put forward a reason for me to need to.
However, I don’t see that I have made any excuses yet here. I will make it explicit:
I make no excuses. I do not excuse this action in any way. I take full responsibility for it.
popa, did you take a look at that thread? I think there’s some helpful stuff in there.
I looked. It seems you intend for me to look at that thread and then feel comfortable admitting I am wrong and apologizing. Thank you for trying to be helpful. I decline.
December 5, 2011 6:17 pm at 6:17 pm #1198847LukeMemberMorals are too complicated. Murals are much more interesting.

December 5, 2011 10:35 pm at 10:35 pm #1198850littleappleMemberPopa: It’s a historical fact that the term DD (developmentally disabled) was forcibly and even legally (I believe) invented and used to replace the term retarded because of the extent to which it had become a common derogatory expression. This occurred when you were a popa in diapers, though I admit I am not sure of your age, therefore you will not succeed in resurrecting it nor in enhancing your power of self expression or even in making your points well by continuing to use it the way you do, imho.
December 5, 2011 11:50 pm at 11:50 pm #1198851OneOfManyParticipantlittleapple: If what you are saying is true, then the word “retarded” has lost its meaning in that context and is therefore no longer derogatory (in the way everyone here is protesting it is). So you’re actually justifying popa here.
December 6, 2011 12:09 am at 12:09 am #1198852littleappleMemberYou are only partly right, as I don’t believe one can erase completely the past meaning of the word kind of like in trademarks has xerox replaced copy? Hence people still take offense.
December 6, 2011 3:42 pm at 3:42 pm #1198853littleappleMemberpopa: If I agree with that, I will stop. Naturally.
It looks like popa stopped!! There is hope for civil discourse in the CR!!
December 6, 2011 3:57 pm at 3:57 pm #1198854popa_bar_abbaParticipantDidn’t stop; just didn’t have occasion to use it yet.
December 7, 2011 1:29 am at 1:29 am #1198855Chayav's EinikelMemberI don’t get it – popa is the one who overpaid for tea in Starbucks, and he’s the only one who’s not retarded? The logic behind that is developmentally disabled.
December 11, 2011 4:05 pm at 4:05 pm #1198856popa_bar_abbaParticipantI have another example, but decided to just bump this thread.
So you know how on Windows 7, the taskbar on the bottom has an icon for each program, which makes it really easy to switch back and forth. But, it is retarded because if you have multiple windows open in the same program, it stacks them.
So, I know how to fix that:
Right click the taskbar.
Select Properties.
Select Taskbar Buttons, and select Combine only when taskbar is full.
I don’t know what you retards would do without me.

MIB: This makes no sense. If it was deleted, why is it up, and why does it have a big bold statement yelling at me?
Besides, once you were editing, you could have made it completely not offensive by just removing the last line, or replacing it with “you people”.

December 11, 2011 5:47 pm at 5:47 pm #1198859ZeesKiteParticipantI have nothing nice to say about using foul language. If I remember correctly, this is the Torah World. Torah has taught me to exert myself 8 letters rather than use an unclean one.
December 11, 2011 6:18 pm at 6:18 pm #1198860popa_bar_abbaParticipantIf I remember correctly, this is the Torah World. Torah has taught me to exert myself 8 letters rather than use an unclean one.
How do you count 8?
I count 6.
????? ????? = 10
????= 4
Unless maybe you could change the whole phrase? So replace ????? ??? ????? ????? with ????? ?????. That would equal 8.
December 11, 2011 7:10 pm at 7:10 pm #1198861ZeesKiteParticipantRight, I just think it’s “?????”
??? ????? ????? = 13
????? = 5
(I googled Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat, Hilchos Coffee bStarbucks)
December 11, 2011 7:10 pm at 7:10 pm #1198862StamYeshivaGyMemberFirst, it would be stealing to buy a cup of coffee and ask a refill of tea (assuming that the refill for tea is only for people who purchase tea). Second, offensive means a remark which people resent; therefore, the fact that people are offended by definition means your statement is offensive.

I don’t know why you think I misrepresented their policy. I called them and asked what the rules are.
Second, offensive means a remark which people resent; therefore, the fact that people are offended by definition means your statement is offensive.
Hah. But all the people who were upset, were upset that I was going to offend someone else. Nobody wrote that they were upset because of themselves.
