Once I killed a man. His name was Mario, I think. His brother Luigi was upset at first, but adamant to continue on the adventure that they started together.

all I can say, is if a heart attack doesn't get you eventually, a brain hemorrhage will, and that's if you don't have an accident . He was 60 which is I guess young by todays standards.

I've heard that kids being born today will have an average life expectancy of 100+ compared to what it is at the moment (not really sure what it is but about late 70's for a male & mid 80's for female)

We already have problems in the world with a growing number of elderly people still kicking on, retired with nothing to do, and eventually have to be looked after and supported financially.

Imagine when everyone is living past 100, having 30 or 40 years after retirement to live, how is everyone gonna have enough money to live that long?

Heart attacks can be caused in many ways, including eating Maccas, but Heredity, lack of excersize and stressful jobs can also cause them.

Of course I can see the Irony, but being a great Soccer player also causes Myocardial Infarctions, look at Diego Maradona.

Living to the age of 100 is more common these day than it used to be.  But, if it was rarely heard of for a person to die of natural causes before the age of 100... I think the people who control the Social Security/retirement may adjust the age range for retirement.  Kinda like how companies adjust the prices of their products and wages for their employees to compensate for inflation or depression.

All I'm going to say is, "Hell yeah!... you can't beat a good hamburger!"  Even if it is an artery clogging, fatness-causing slab of horse meat like they sell at McDonald's.

That's my two-cents.

The horse meat has been considered during ages like the best because its lack of fat and "sportive life of its previous propietaries"...

Just my two-cents...
Are you guys ready? Let' s roll!

I guess it's already starting to happen with people going into semi retirement and working till they're older than 65, but a lot of people are also retiring earlier by being forced out of their jobs and being made redundant.

It's going to cause a much larger unemployment, along with a lot more retirees, this future is not planned for at all, and although the rich will be fine with all thier zillions of dollars, the average person (most of the population) wont be able to afford it.

Retirement funds will have to improve, but in this day and age, they're really not looking at helping people (unless they're rich), just being the richest company.

So it comes down to either being rich or inherritance to being able to live well and comfortable.

well, I guess all you really need is some food and someone to love. (and that's hard to find, well maybe not the food so much)

I repeat... It the Mc's hamburgers really have more horse than beef, they hve more quaility than just oanother made by beef...

Another thing should be: 5% beef, 5% horse, 50% rat and 40% cat...  ;D

But I'm sure that the bad quality of the MaCDonald's food is a urban legend... I think that it must be the most controlled food company in the world, with all that of the mad cows and all that "teeth of rat in my hamburger" stories going around...

I think your friend was making stuff up so he could seem like an 'insider.'  I can't imagine why he'd *want* to be...  

Supposedly, McDonald's uses 100% Ground Beef, specifically 80% Lean Beef Chuck.  What I'm guessing is that it's 100% Beef but only by counting Beef Heart & other strange beefy bits.  

I worked there for a month & 1/2 in my teens and the hamburgers were stored as unwrapped patties in a freezer until they were cooked.  When we re-stocked the freezer, it was with patties frozen and wrapped in plastic.  These arrived at the restaurant in cardboard boxes with no more ingredient listing than: McDonald's  1/4 Lb. (Or 1/10 Lb.) Hamburger Patties, 100% Ground Beef.   Worst job I've had, hands-down.. and I've had a few.

In Aus the Maccas Hamburgers are made with "100% Australian Beef" - but apparently that's just the name of an American company, it's very sly, I wonder how they get away with it. It's false advertising.

I'd say most people wouldn't eat many things if they actually knew what they were really eating, lucky we don't have to kill the animals too, there'd be a lot more vegetarians.

I eat Maccas every now & then, tastes ok, but if I want a real Hamburger I'll go to the local milk bar.

Most countries have banned the importation of American Beef following the Mad Cow discovery. I doubt Australia is an exception.

Timosity

The cows are actually australian they are just owned by an american company so we don't import the beef & don't think we ever have?

That company might have changed though now, I'm not really up to date (or really care)

Maccas are trying to be open about what is actually in all their products, and I saw a sign yesterday saying 100% real beef or something along those lines, but then again it's still processed beef.

There's a lot of rumours about what's in their products, as long as I'm not eating too much spit, semen or urine, I'll be happy

The way meat packing factories work, and the number of injuries, amputations and death that happen every year, I think whipping it out and jacking off onto/pissing on the meat is the least of the workers' concerns...

YEUCH! God, is anyone else hungry after reading this thread? *goes to the bathroom to throw up and vows for the 20th time in his life that he'll go vegitarian, and for longer than a week this time!*

:P

QuoteOh, and Ronald Mcdonald does exist!! What are you guys talking about he lives about 3 houses down has a wife and 2 kids, I can give you his house, & phone number if you'd like
Jesus, thats creepy. Little red-haired McDonald kids running around with white face faces, big painted red lips, over-sized shoes and bright yellow one-piece suits. Yup, I'm having nightmares tonight...

Damn straight! If I'm going all the way to Australia for a burger, I don't want to eat american crap. I want Kangaroo and Walabee in my Mac!

TOO MUCH??............exactly how much spit/semen/urine are you actually OKAY with on your burger? I hope you don't request the special sauce.   :-X

[btw, I am never eating McD's again in my life (and havn't for the last 3 years) I'll only eat Subway, so you better not say anything nastey about them cause its the only fast food place I have left.)

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

AGA

Damn. And there I was about to tell you about Subway's faults...

shbaz

I'm a Subway fan too, although I'm no Jared Fogle.

Yeah, me too. I've always been abnormally thin, like a stick. :P 140, and thats pretty thin for a guy who is 5'11 ft tall. I somtimes think that I must have like a tape worm in my stomach or somthing because I never gain weight. :S Its not really a pretty thing to think about, but its been a phobia of mine ever since my highschool biology when we talked about animals that live inside the stomachs of other animals.........a little off topic, I'll admit. But I thought it was valuable information that you all should know. ;)
