: Now while I don't exactly know a lot about how much McDs actually puts out to charities, don't you think that anything given to charity is better than nothing given to charity? Even if it's only 1% of their profits thats still a ton more than you or I could give. Another thing, lots of other corporations give to charity. Are they evil too?

: One question is on my mind:McSpotlight, where do you get your info? Exactly how can you vouch for the accuracy of it. I would hope that is not through rumour and/or poor assumptions. Please get back to me as I am very curious about this.

Since when is it a bad thing to raise money for charity and generate
goodwill?
