I don’t drink the stuff, but would oppose a ban. Because it’s unjustified, and because Prohibition has generally been a cure a lot worse than the disease; and one that fails too. It wouldn’t stop coffee; it would just add organized crime to the equation. Trade occasionally jittery coffee drinkers, for occasionally jittery coffee drinkers getting their illegal coffee from a modern Al Capone? No thanks.

Please rephrase your response in the form of a wisecrack.

A big meh from me. I drink maybe half a dozen cups a year.
In that case, I vote for “I don’t drink coffee, but you can have my coffee-flavored ice cream when you pry it from my cold dead hands”.
War! War! War!
Voted 1, but in all honesty I’d think it was kind of cool. I’ve never been a drug addict before. Buying coffee from dealers in dark alleys, hiding the coffee machine under some loose floor boards, getting pulled over and tested for caffeine. Thrilling stuff.
Coffee smells like someone is burning a skunk to death in an electrical fire. It actually doesn’t taste quite as bad as it smells, which makes it merely the vilest excuse for a beverage I’ve ever tasted, rather than an actual instrument of torture. The fact that people willingly consume it testifies to the addictive power of caffeine.
All of that said, I would oppose a ban on it. To borrow a phrase fro Tombstone, “My hypocrisy only goes so far.”
I have made a report of your slanderous lies and will be reporting you to Slubgob.
I drink coffee, but not much. It wouldn’t worry me if it disappeared completely.
I will use the bones of the politicians responsible to fuel my coffee roaster.
A bunch of coffee addicts suffering from caffeine withdrawl?
The resistance will not be organized.
But once it manages to drag itself out of bed and through the splitting headache, it will be surly and downright mean.
I’ll be joining DianaG’s armed resistance.
Stupid fat hobbit! You forgot brewing coffee instantly plugs up my airways and makes it hard to breath. Yes it’s hard to deal with people brewing coffee. The coffee in the mug is not a big problem. Now give me back my precious soda!
I’d never wake up so I guess my opinion matters not at all
I only drink one large mug in the morning and could easily make the switch to Irish Breakfast tea or diet Mtn Dew.
However, upon the announcement of the upcoming ban, I would heavily invest in tea futures, energy drink and caffeinated soft drink stock to build my empire and take over the universe.
Sadly, I can only drink decaf (I had to give up the regular stuff a while back when it started triggering my seizures). Would that be banned as well?
The gun choice. I needs my beans. I’m 41 with a toddler in the house, 'nuff said.
I don’t touch the stuff (I’m a tea drinker), but it would be a rather silly ban and I’d be opposed to it. I wouldn’t march on Washington or anything, but I’d be happy to vote to overturn the ban.
Although I personally could not care less about the disappearance of coffee, the thought of having to go in to work knowing that none of my coworkers had had their coffee…for DAYS…is downright chilling. :eek:
I have coffee stockpiled and will be keeping the troops supplied. It’s my excuse for avoiding any duty involving being shot at.
I am so, so sorry.
I don’t see why it would be. If the banners are busybody nanny types, decaf won’t trigger their vileness, and if the banners are evil, they’ll allow decaf because it will cause us caffeine addicts to suffer even more.
