:McSpotlight benefits from quite a bit of misleading information. Can you really blame them for being anti-union? Look at the damage that a union can do.

I am really getting fed up with people who claim, without a scrap of evidence, that the information on McSpotlight is misleading. You are not the first person who says this and , I strongly suspect, won't be the last one either. But none of those who has claimed this has had the courage or integrity to stand by their words and tell us exactly how McSpotlight has mislead them. Even McD itself can not produce evidence to prove this otherwise it woudn't have hesitated in suing the site organisers. Now, as an ardent supporter of McD and what it represents, let's see whether you can enlighten all the McSpotlight readers on this matter.

So far as unions are concerned, I do agree with you except that what they damage is the billions of profits that companies like McD net at the expense of their workers.

:I don't know how religious you are, but animals were put here for our use and consumption, according to the bible, if anyone reads it anymore.

It's incredibly ignorant to assume religion equals Christianity. But let me tell you something you may not know Joey. On the global scale, Christianity is a minority religion. Many religions with great number of followers actually forbid exploitation and consumption of animals (you learn something new every day!). Moreover, I am not an expert on religion but I doubt that the bible ever said exploitation and torture of animals is legitimate religious activity. Have you ever thought that one of the reasons the bible readership is diminishing may be because of the spread of misrepresentations like yours?

: Do managers stalk their employees? Do they follow them home? Do they keep survelience on their houses? No, I think not.

Well, knowing what McD did to the two defendant and their organisation in the McLibel case (they did all the above + more) I would not put it passed them do the same to their employees.

: And how long have you worked at McDonald's? It seems that you weren't too happy with your job. So why did you work there? And why didn't you quit sooner?

I dont have the time to go into details now, but if you improve your attitude and ask me more politely some other time, I will try to answer all these.
