    Why is McDonald's so insistent on building along every border, both political and natural?

    Why must they be present at every physical entrance and exit point to the country?

    This concerns me.

    McDonald's is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. If you ask me, Taco Bell serves far shittier putrid ill-born swill than any McD's. Its only saving grace is that it's not nearly as numerous as McDonald's. If it were, the stink would create a suffocating cloud that not even Almighty FSM could see through, and the angels would gag and die a million deaths.

    I actually like McDonalds. The food is not the healthiest, but it is relatively tasty, fast and cheap. You don't have to eat it every day. Plus they have good coffee.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: I think their coffee is pretty good too. I've gotten McD's breakfast bagels on occasion, and I didn't see anything wrong with them at all. They were cheap, fast and as far as I could tell, were no less healthy than a breakfast sandwich you get in a local deli.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: There isn't anything wrong with McDonald's. It's fast, low-quality food that is fine occasionally as a treat or a quick on-the-run meal. The proliferation of it, combined with intrinsically and exponentially increasing ignorance has made it nearly a staple of peoples' diets. It's just another overwhelming sign of the overall decrease in the intelligence of the population.

    Hygienic, convenience and consistent quality also applies to Twinkies and pet food... that doesn't make it appropriate for people to eat in large quantities. This is not the fault of McDonald's, it's the fault of the general populace for degenerating into lazy cretins who don't know or care enough to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. On the other hand, the entire population pays for the increased obesity of the nation and the subsequently increased cost of health care. The fact that there are so many McDonald's is indicative of a population hungry for garbage with no consideration for the impact on their health.

    @met2art has an invisible star: unlike these other guys, i totally agree with you. but this long and bloody revolution sounds like it will be a lot of work, and to do your best, you need to start your day right. well let me tell you, there's no better way to start your day than with a warm egg mcmuffin and a hot coffee with a couple of mcgriddles on the side.

    and this revolution is going to take longer than midday, right? so why not get some added fuel at lunchtime with mcdonald's all new angus beef burgers! made with 100% angus beef, they're sure to get your temperature rising so you can get your blood boiling to just the right temperature to get your work done with the proper levels of rage!

    need to cool down? try one of our soothing and delicious milkshakes. or be a little daring and buy one of our hot fudge sundaes for only one dollar and couple that with not one, but two apple pies for the same price!!! what a deal, and what a meal!!!

    @SinisterBill of Star Command: "BTW, is someone stopping you from leaving?" Dude, that's brilliant. Are you aware of the legal difficulties inherent in trying to renounce US citizenship? You can't renounce citizenship while on US home soil. There is a catch-22 involved, in that you must travel to a foreign country with a US Embassy, and that without a dual-citizenship, you may be on shaky legal ground. Also, it is the whim of that Embassy to grant or deny your request. They often deny such requests, or require full investigations of your tax status, credit history or other processes which can take months, if not years. Furthermore, the US does not recognize dual citizenship, and yet retains the right to extradite you back to the US if you state your intent to renounce citizenship yet have no declared citizenship at the time of renunciation. The US is extremely loathe to allow people to leave.

    In any case, I have no desire to leave. Leaving solves nothing, and I'd rather stay and criticize, and exercise my right to speak out, and vote when and where I believe it can possibly make a difference. Do you run away from problems? Is that why your first criticism is to ask people who complain to leave?

    @met2art has an invisible star: I dunno, leaving still sounds easier than this "long bloody revolution" you seem to think is going to happen. Too bad you couldn't have spent this paragraph responding to me or at least explaining your insipid revolution remark rather than showing your understanding of the process of giving up your citizenship (which is completely irrelevant to the conversation). In effect, you've already cut and run rather than face your criticism.

    My telling you to leave has everything to do with your revolution remark, I don't want a revolution thank you very much and I'd like to see anyone who does escorted out, or dropped in a very dark hole. An opinion I don't appear to be alone in considering the responses I'm reading.

    It's not that I take you seriously, the fact you would make these silly remarks over McDonalds pretty much shows your impotence, but there might be others out there who should be taken seriously that might be listening, so you deserve this spanking.
