Dirty fuckers.:dsp:

[choptop2]

you do what you can to please billion plus customers.

McD's isn't open to serve quality food, give jobs to the elderly and teens in your community, help out, etc and all the other BS they push. They're open to make money and that's the bottom line. Don't like it, don't eat it.

P.S. a crazy bum on a street corner advised me not to eat McDonald's because their burgers were made out of Bone Marrow. Just another reason to avoid them. This man also told me the reason he rides the bus is because once he went driving and got lost in outer space... true story.

:shrugs: You know what I.....I don't know. My head is beginning to hurt.... I hope they love China I for one am boycotting Mcdonald's from this point honestly.....Who's with me? :shootemup: Mcdonald's...Goddamn commies

“Supporting the host nation is one thing … and you’re spending a lot of money on the Games and it’s appreciated. But show your appreciation to the American athletes and don’t openly pander to China’s Olympic fervor. Remember: you are an American company. You were built here”

Isn't the irony thick when the conservs have to juggle their pro free market capitalist attitude with patriotism?

[Gatsu18]

But commies are delicious! Well not so much the chinese ones but still!

[Luris Blear]

I'm fine with this. Seriously. I honestly smiled.

One of our beacons of Capitalism is putting another dent in China. And let's face it: Hamburglar speaks a language more universally appealing and accessible than Esperanto.

Edit, okay, so Fox News is taking cheap shots at open capitalism and people who might normally cry "Faux News" are openly agreeing with Fox News. I'm going to try to add some balance.

There. Now we can all eat and/or hate McDonald's as we were.

[JerkyPuck]

Funny the same billionaires who are crying foul at China are the same ones who have all their goods made there. Doesn't make what China does right by any means.....just adding it for the sake of conversation.

[Gatsu18]

I haven't had Mcdonalds in months. I needs some perhaps.

[Wrathborne]

last time I went there the fuckers got my order wrong, why dot people listen? If I say double hamburger I WANT a fucking double hamburger, not a double cheeseburger, I HATE cheeseburgers!

[Gatsu18]

But cheese is the source of our fatness! You're a horrible American!

[koolmike]

BigMac/QuarterPounder w/cheese/Fish Filet = some of the worst foods in the world for you.

F China

[Gatsu18]

I love being unhealthy. I may be skinny but god knows what my insides look like heh.

[koolmike]

Eating at McD's and you won't be skinny for long.

[Gatsu18]

I said this earlier, but I haven't in months. I don't think I've had fast food since the begining of june actually. That's to conserve moneys, apartments can be expensive.

[koolmike]

double cheeseburger - 99 cents
4 piece nuggets - 99 cents
Whopper junior - 99 cents
Wendy's stackers - 99 cents
McChicken - 99 cents

You must have it bad G. :D

[smokey]

Aint to keen on Mcdonalds burgers.

[koolmike]

Fast food, as much as I wish I could eat it more :D, just has way too much fat in it and is insanely dangerous.

[FreddyKruger316]

I had two double Quater-Pounder's w/ cheese earlier and I'm about to dig into a pint of Haagen-Dazs ice cream. :D
Hey I can get away with it, I work 50 hours a week and it's a very physically demanding job. Even with all the fatty foods I eat, I never gain any extra weight. :D

[Wrathborne]

Agreed with KM Fuck China.

You're also 24, wait a few years. Older you get, harder to burn fat.

I know. I figure I might as well taking advantage of it while I can. :nod:

[koolmike]

Lucky mofo.

<---would kill for a WHOPPER W/ CHEESE

[Gatsu18]

You guys don't have the joy of the 007 burger. It's amazing and exlcusive to this truck stop near my place. God damn is it great.

[Snuggle]

Seriously, fuck them. I'll just go to Burgerking instead.

[koolmike]

Flame-broiled goodness.

[Snuggle]

Flame-broiled goodness.
Damn straight, even though I haven't had fast food in the past 4 or 5 months. Once you check out nutrition for some of these joints you don't have much of an appetite for them anymore.

[Gatsu18]

Nutrition is for the weak! And grandma! cuz ya know.... she's weak..... SHUT UP!

Absolutely

[WarBeast]

Had me a quad-stacker from BK tonight... had'em replace that rancid big mac-like sauce with bbq sauce though... fuckin' tasty...

As far as the whole McDonalds/China thing is concerned... big fuckin' deal... 90% of the big corps suck china's cock. If I tried to boycott every damn corp that is in bed with China, I'd have an empty house and no clothes. Believe me, what McDonald's is doing here in this issue is fucking menial compared to the wholesale butt-fucking that other big businesses are doing to this country in the way of fondling China's balls.

[Gatsu18]

Word

Oh and I usually get my quad stack with no sauce so it's just meat and cheese. But I'll have to try some bbq, sounds good.

[dead breed]

I just ate a Southwest Chicken Burger from McD's....yummy.

[Knight]

Just killed a Six Dollar Western Bacon Burger from Carl's Jr. Bacon, onion rings, cheese and BBQ sauce on top of a massive slab of beef. Hands-down the unhealthiest burger known to science, and if there's life on another planet, I seriously doubt they have the technology to challenge this undisputed champion of cholesterol.

Oh, and you know I had to upgrade my drink and side order of fries to large. :nod:

If I tried to boycott every damn corp that is in bed with China, I'd have an empty house and no clothes.See, I don't see it that way. China has been shifting rather peacefully from a frightening world power to a source of lots of money. If it took some Big Macs and Thundercats to make that happen then the world is better off.

The other options would have been cold war or just war.

You also forgot food, Warbeast. Ever walk down the toy aisle of your grocery store? Come to think of it, some of the groceries are suspect as well. Toothpaste and dog food come to mind.

And on that note, McDonald's is only getting them back. Just slower.

[Grendel]

A billion and a half customers on the eve of the biggest event their country has seen. No way McDonald's--or most any other corp--doesn't play to the home crowd.

A source of lots of money for whom? All of our jobs are going over there.Thats a good thing? China is scarier now than they've ever been. Now they're getting rich, at least before they were backwards. They're still totalitarian, all these riches in the hands of dictators, thats good?

Now they're getting rich, at least before they were backwards. They're still totalitarian, all these riches in the hands of dictators, thats good?Was just discussing this, this weekend. With the concurrent explosions of population and industry coupled with the full-bore environmental neglect demonstrated by the government, they could easily find their newfound riches swallowed by a systemic health crisis.

Cancer, birth defects, chronic lung afflictions...Rising China's outlook might not be all that rosy if they keep doing what they're doing.

[Luris Blear]

Oh boy, the anti-corporate angle.

A source of money for concept artists, writers, marketers, and white collar workers.

A source of money for General Foods and Kellogg's, who are able to drop a cheap toy in a box of cereal to sell more food. A source of money for employees at General Foods and Kellogg's, who still have a job despite Malt-o brand selling below their prices.

A source of work for the graphic artists who package new boxes of Cheerios and Frosted Flakes every month or so to keep up with the newest trend.

A source of money to the board members who invested their own time and money into growing both companies and paying wages.

A source of work and money for internet developers on both sides of the border as China uses their money to become one of the most internet savvy countries on the planet (no matter what their government tries to do "for the good of the people"). Not just web pages -- there is an industry there.

And yes, a source of work for the mop boy at Toys R Us who one day aspires to suck on the world's largest bong. For the greasy guy in the beat up old truck who fills the gumball machines with cheap toys.

So, I've just covered everyone from the glorified paperboy sticking plastic eggs in the quarter machine to CEOs, in all kinds of careers from number crunchers to artists.

I'm not going to call this perfect -- it's just a hell of a lot nicer than another cold war.

oh boy, the justification argument. I gotta hand it to you pro-corporate types, when trying to justify sending our jobs over to feed a dictator you sure can reach.

Here's a nice little article illustrating the morals and ethics of our heros in the corporate world. (http://ihscslnews.org/view_article.php?id=163)
