::: I love McDonalds and I stand by them one hundred percent. I enjoy the
::: taste of there burgers and their other foods. It has always been part of
::: my childhood with McDonalds hosting many memorable birthday parties.

That's the way, start 'em early. That gets the patterns ingrained
more or less permanently.

::: If you were to stop eating something because of corporate scandals
::: you'd be starving.

No, I'd have a backyard garden with lots of veges, quite a bit
more money than I do now, a healthy body, and a clear conscience.

::: The majority of corporation only want money and
::: power and that is reality.

This doesn't make it any more acceptable. Why do you all want to just lie down and let death take you so easily? Are you so brainwashed into believing you have no other choice than the bullshit that is spewed into your head from the TV, that anything else seems deranged? You and your pathetic kind sicken me. You are already dead.

::: Billions more cows are also slaughtered by other independent
::: corporations around the world and we are omnivores!

Just because it is possible for me to digest meat, and the TV tells
me to, doesn't mean I have to. The TV is not God. You really CAN
turn it off. Try it. Go read some Byron.

::: We are meant to eat meat!! No one will be able to destroy McDonalds
::: and I will help them last forever!

One way or another they are going down. The fat bastards have no
qualms about taking the rest of the planet down with them, unfortunately. I don't know about you, but I don't want the fate
of the planet resting in the hands of an organisation whose sole
motivation is pure, blind, stupid greed.


:: How can anybody enjoy eating that shit?

Easy. Brainwashing. Preferably from an early age.

:: How can you like eating brutally murdered animals?

Easy. By what amounts to more brainwashing and ignorance.


: I for one am not going to exist solely on rabbit food. Yes veggies...

I make a hearty vegetable stew that could make you forget how much
you like meat.
Not to mention the lasagna, pasta, pies, curries, and other yum stuff.
Get a cookbook, or better still, an imagination.

: good for roughage, and V8 juice from a can is a good (and conveniant)
: source for a veggie fix.

And you have a nice, lovely, virtually indestructible lump of
metal to decorate your home with afterwards. Would you like
fries with that?

: Wake up, people!! Animals have been killing other animals for their
: food source since long before any of us saw the light of day.

That would be carnivores. If I were to disembowell you, you'd
realise that your intestinal tract is, proportionately, a lot
longer than those in general use by meat-eating animals. What
does this suggest to you, if anything?

: And cows ain't in no danger of going extinct.

Try being one.

: They are not exactly "defenseless" either.

Tell that to the ones living in cages.

:Just ask any innocent person who lost his balls to a bullhorn
:because he got in the way accidently.

Oh, you're a paragon of anecdotal wit.

: McD's Corporate, Company stores, and Franchises certainly are not
: perfect, but they are not the worst things in the world. Saddam,
: Quadafy, Hitler, etc. have done much worse things to this world.

Yes, and these "villains" have been dealt with courtesy of good
old Uncle Sam because they posed a threat to either his economic
prosperity or perceived image as "world peacemaker". If the
US Government wasn't making bazillions of dollars out of McD's
and the Big Corporations hadn't suppressed public knowledge of
environmental concerns via direct control of the media it would
be a different story. And people wonder why corporations are
tripping over themselves trying in vain to control the Internet.

cheers,
Ben
