Hey, I admit that the US is also one of the most fucked up countries in the world, but its true that without us there would probably be no free world today. Look back to WWII. What if the Japanese had crippled our entire Pacific Navy at Pearl Harbor and then invaded the West Coast? We wouldn't have been able to intervene in Europe, which may have, if it didn't assure Germany of a victory, added more than a few years onto WWII.
And that's only one example. What if the Cold War had heated up and the USSR was the only super power in the world today? It looks to me like we've treated you guys pretty damned nice!
Sure, we have the worst education system in the world, and sure, our President is a hick (which was NOT our choice), but we do not cause most of the problems in the world. The only ones I can see are our corporations, including Microsoft, expanding and ruining other people's cultures, but hey, we're capitalists just like you (although we're a hell of a lot richer). What can you do?

And to me it's one of the most disgusting things about America, the fact that it is so full of obese lard-bellies (and I really mean it too, over 30% of Americans are obese. Yuck!) who eat their McCrappers all the time. And the person who thought up the idea of hooking kids on unhealthy greasy food at an early age with a "happy meal" that comes with a toy was a marketing genius, a sadistic, immoral asshole but still a genius. Now I don't mind a lot of "fast food" in fact I eat at Wendy's and other places on a regular basis, but McDonalds fucking makes me ill. Burger King too (albeit, not as much)
Pretty much all the Americans I know think McDonalds is disgusting, and they're right. I haven't eaten McDonalds food for about five years since I got food poisoning there. They're burgers are shriveled up pieces of McShit, and I don't even want to think about what the so-called "cooks" put into them on a regular basis. Burger King is definitely better, although I find it smarter just to stay away from fast food. In fact, after reading this thread I don't feel like eating much of anything :-P
Which do you guys think is more evil? McDonalds or Microsoft?
