A few years before 9/11 I visited New York for a long weekend, and I went to a McDonalds restaurant for a bite to eat. While I was in the queue I noticed a collection box for the IRA. When I questioned this to the assistant she asked the manager to speak to me. So I asked him why McDonalds is supporting terrorism, to which he replied the IRA are not terrorists they are freedom fighters. I argued that they kill innocent men, women and children in shopping centres and public streets. He replied with something that made me vow never to go to a McDonald’s restaurant again, 'Well you English deserve to be blown up, for occupying Ireland'.
I would love to see if those people’s views are the same after 9/11, to see if he still supports terrorism?

Oh the hypocrasy of Americans.
If I listed all the reasons why I think the Americans are hypicrits, it would crash YAhoo Answers!
These are freedom fighters, these are terrorists.
You can't have nuclear weapons but we can. You might use them. Hang on, we're the only ones who have.
You must adapt to democracy and we'll bomb you until you do.
Palestine democratically voted for Hamas - we'll, you can only have democracy if you agree with us.
Bin Laden is an evil man. Hang on, we trained him to be like that - oops!
etc

I think if a McDonald's manager told me that I deserve to die, I probably would have reported his @ss.
Honestly, I've never felt like McDonald's supported terrorism, and until I see otherwise, I'll continue taking my children there for their Happy Meals.

I know a guy who lives in Boston and he tells me fund raising has not stopped, but its not as obvious. I have not eaten Mc Filth for years after discovering the links.

Why? Because most Americans are ignorant to these facts. Secondly, they are apathetic to the world around them and most anything taht doesn't directly affect them personally.
