You are an odd fish, you are presumably quite or very intelligent even, but you have chosen such a brain to indulge in ignorance about politics. It's depressing to me to see someone who is obviously quite clever waste time on ignorant policy concerns. There's nothing wrong with the right wing economic agenda per se, but if you are going to attack anything that is not it, you need to understand anything that is not it.
That's probably the first thing I've disagreed with you about so far, Bob being intelligent. He's so one-eyed he should have Cyclops as his username. It's like arguing with a creationist.
Lol ok. I don't think Bob is stupid myself, I just think he is brainwashed. But let's agree to disagree, ignorance about politics is not the same as stupid. The Cyclops in Homer's epic was brung low by clever thought, and they drilled a large piece of wood into his eye, so I get your meaning. Bob has two eyes and doesn't use them. :)

Disagree with my bad ideas, and do it with no thought than you would to disagree with anyone, even your own mother. Disagreement is not a crime, it is a virtue, and if it is done well it embiggens us all. :P
Don't worry, I will be sure to let you know when you say something stupid. :D

I think you're missing the point bob McDonalds overpriced half assed mass produced crap...
Who the hell are you to be criticizing McDonald's? Millions upon millions of people around the world think McDonald's food is great and a good value. Try getting off your snooty pedestal once in a while.

What the hell does that have to do with a so-called "level playing field," whatever that's supposed to mean anyway.
It means as someone else said that you don't really get politics.
I've got the total conceptual blueprint for a political party. What have you got?

Bob I have no idea what I am supposed to spit out, once again you have failed to understand the political landscape, and once again we are all here to remind you of it. You won't get by on facile...

By meandering through the institutional grid of religious, cultural and social values without Ouzo.

Only fat morons. There are always plenty of them around. :D Anyone would think we were insulting a beloved family member of yours, instead of a giant, multi billion dollar corporation. :lol:

No, you are insulting free-market capitalism. Socialists like you resent any successful private company.

No he's insulting McDonalds that sells crap food for overinflated prices. But then you will never go far wrong by appealing to the lowest common denominator. The fact it is a multi national global set of franchises is beside the point. Not everyone who criticises business are socialists, in fact if you ever met a real socialist you are in for the shock of your life.

You just said to Mickthinks on another thread, "Then you are extremely naïve about how business works." Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Crap food at overinflated prices? I guess it's you versus millions upon millions of people throughout the world, huh?

Hey I was insulting crap food on this thread, and expressing the idea that advertising restriction is a bad idea on the other one, I fail to see how they compare. Another straw man Bob?

I don't care if it's me vs the universe bob and all lifeforms therein, I have a right to say that Maccy D's serves shit food at prices that are overinflated for what it is. It has nothing to do with their success globally only to do with how poor their food is.

Oh no my bad then Mc D is gourmet food of the best kind that embodies all that is the culinary arts. Sheez bob, get a clue. I'm not saying burgers are bad food or chips but the bland and crap meat Mc D serves and the chips that might be made out of cardboard for all the flavour anyone can get and soaked in salt to hide the fact, are just not a good demonstration; I'd rather sit in a greasy spoon café get food that is far better and less pricey or go to a burger van that is supplied by butchers, where you know you are going to get tasy cow flesh, and decent chips or a cooked breakfast with properly prepared and hung meat than eat the garbage that the big D produce, and mostly I'll either pay the same or less... Business is about quality for value bob, McDonalds is about crap food, always has been but not everyone is lucky enough to have a decent food vendor on their doorstep.
