Anyway, my question is, how do you think McDonald's has affected the cultural norms in the countries that they have been built? Is it sort of forcing American culture on other countries, and has it?
This is awfully sounds like Ramstein - Amerika. We don't eat McDonald's food and think "we must think that Amerika is great". It's just eating a fast food meal like Lotteria's.

Stop complaining. We have more piracy than never before and there is no way to bring the piracy rate down. You can complain this for the rest of your life.
