Why do I feel like I brought brass knuckles to a knife fight? **Off-topic**

That'd be because McDonald's has an alternate menu in India, so as not to alienate itself from the population it serves. The Christian right is not afforded such consideration, for lack of a better term, and as such has it in its collective mind that it needs to be quasi-militant and take things like this head on. At any rate, it apparently offends you, it doesn't offend me very much, so we should agree to disagree.

And no, Jeff, I'm not going to boycott McD's simply because they're now "promoting the homosexual agenda" or whatnot. But I do need to drop about 40 pounds and this is as good an excuse as any to stop going... :p

They have an alternate menu in California, too. There's an extra piece of meat between each two buns.

Yeah...there are Hindu's all over the world not just simply in India. There are 600,000 Hindu's in the UK and the last time any of them demanded that McDonalds change anything on religious ground was.....never. Heck their are 750,000 Hindu's in America with a much better reason to boycott them.

I'm not offended by it but I'm sure some homosexuals are, atleast the ones not pissing themselves with laughter at how repressed some people are. I personally find the hypocracy that is prevalent within the USA hilarious.

Laugh away while we're stuck over here with the Christian Taliban.:(

God forbid any of their tax money go towards improving the infrastructure or actually helping people. Nope they want tax breaks for the wealthy and more bombs and guns. Morons. Jesus wept for real.

Must fight the urge to flame repeatedly.

It's okay, I saw what you originally put. So, you got to flame and then hide it. Perfect for you.

Don't know what you have against me anyway. I normally don't even respond to what you have to say because I have you on ignore.

Gee, all I did was comment on how this political discussion doesn't belong in this thread, which it doesn't. I don't see how that demands your pointless vitriol.

You can consider me a "moron" if you like. But I don't think purposefully avoiding online political debate flamefests makes someone a moron. Grow up.

If we can harness the power of that toast-cat, there must be a way to solve the energy crisis and lower gas prices!

We'll need to destroy PETA first, I doubt they would approve of cat powered cars and powerplants

Christian Taliban...:rolleyes:

God forbid people would want to use the money they earn at their discretion instead of having it forced from their pockets into somebody elses. Odd I know.

Some Football quotes that made me laugh:

"The first 90 minutes are the most important"

"Well, we got nine and you can't score more than that"

"If you're a painter, you don't get rich until you're dead. The same happens with managers. You're never appreciated until you're gone, and then people say: 'Oh, he was OK'. Just like Picasso"

I hope there was a law that stopped footballers recording songs.

For some reason I'm picturing Terry Mac playing guitar on that solo. :confused:

Did anyone watch The Daily Show last night? Will Ferrell was on, and wore an old Umbro Chelsea jersey. I feel like I've seen Ferrell in Chelsea shirts before...
