Can we please now  have a thread in S&P about Micky Ds hamburgers.

You tell me what and the fuck "S&P" is and where it is, and then we will consider it.

By the way, Mc Donald's rules. I might be somewhat addicted to their french fries, in fact.


Peace.

Slaves to corporate America, eh? I think that if the government were operated as a competing corporation, we would be golden. I realize that you were referring to "corporate America" in the sense of the corporations influence on the country, but I thought it would be important to make that point.

In all reality, America gets what it asks for. Corporations are required to be in accordance with the laws that govern corporations. In what manners would you consider us to be slaves to these corporations? The only negative influence American corporations have is the ability to move aspects of their operations out of the country, and yet still be able to do business within the country. The reasoning is obviously because the basic point of a corporation is that it needs to be turn a profit, and, in order to compete successfully with other corporations from other countries, they have to get where the labor is the cheapest.

Well, as I was saying, it is the government's responsibility to regulate trade. The government decides if our jobs will go overseas or not. I'm not sure where this "corporate slavery" is and what it consists of, but it would seem much more likely to be "government slavery".

At this specific point in time, I realize that I am needing sleep, so this ramble ends here.


Peace.

America has no culture, which is why Americans had to invent the whole flag worship patriotism trip as a surrogate. Worst of all you even have a celebration day (Thanks Giving) to commemorate wiping out the natives, who did at one time have a deep, rich and meaningful culture, but are now the lowest class of people in the good old U.S of A. Freedom, liberty and justice? puh!

Have you cut your self off from the rest of society and gone "native" on us. Do you have a gas powered car, or electric lights, or natural gas heat in the winter?

How can you possibly blame America for "obesity and malnutrition world-wide"? Isn't diet a personal choice? How are we making anyone over eat and be lazy?

Culture

5 a : the integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations
b: the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group; also : the characteristic features of everyday existence (as diversions or a way of life) shared by people in a place or time <popular culture> <southern culture>
c: the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution or organization <a corporate culture focused on the bottom line>
d: the set of values, conventions, or social practices associated with a particular field, activity, or societal characteristic <studying the effect of computers on print culture> <changing the culture of materialism will take time -- Peggy O'Mara>

So you see, that any sized group of people, with the same goals is a culture/society. Cultures come in many sizes.

To say that America has no culture is either ignorance, or some form of flaming.
Either way it's kinda sad.

Most people (IMO) who bash America, are really just jealous, and have turned that jealousy in to anger/hatred out of fear and ignorance.

Is America an Eden.......far from it.
Has America made mistakes.......of course they have, every nation does from time to time.
Is America some evil force trying to take over the world with their rock and roll music and their fast food, fast life attitude.............I don't think so my friend.


"Your focus determines your reality"

or.....

"Change the self and reality will change."

These are simple truths that have a MAJOR impact on your environment.

If you focus on the negatives........that all your going to see.

These guys are right Sinbad, we are all slaves to this system to varying degrees. No one can point a clean finger. Just remember what Jim Morrison said. "No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn"  and  "Rock and roll is DEAD"

But... McDonald's burgers are so cheap! How could they possibly be bad for you if they're such a bargain?

Of course you know how hard it can be to convey humor in the written word, especially without smilies. Nice try at getting off the hook though.

Well, some of what i said was in jest, obvsiously. Some of it was not. Hook or no hook, im off this topic anyways. Ill leave it to all you crazy yanks to sort out whats what.
