I’m just wondering if there’s a cup out there some place that’s harder to
be broken and repales tea and coffee stains from staying on the cup it’self:) if there is i’d like to find one:)

The problem with what you’re saying, “Progressive means moving forward, changing to improve things.” is that it’s totally subjective.

They can’t be antonyms as they have no clear definition.

You’re version of “better” may be different from mine, from everyone else for that matter. Holding on to the old idea is the “better idea” very often, does that make it progressive? Effecting change by not changing.

I’ll agree though, that subjectively they can be seen as antonyms. I think you are generally equating conservative with religious, which you obviously believe is making the world a worse place. Ergo, anything non-religious is progressive. That doesn’t make you right, just different from others. Dare I say regressive in the eyes of some…….

You probably didn’t throw in enough holier-than-thou righteous indignation.

The most astonishing fact about this story is that some news outlet actually made a story out of a woman who decided to no longer buy coffee at Starbucks.

I make decisions like that every day, but I’ve never seen my picture in the paper.

I’d sort of like to know whether she eats meat on Friday, uses birth control, that sort of thing. If she got caught being grossly hypocritical while bitching about atheist coffee cups, that would make for a great human interest story.

Meh, it’ll taste the same. Life feeds on life. Whether any particular person can live with that particular the-world-is-not-all-sunshine-and-rainbows factoid is his own problem.
