Nothing about that passage was about morals. > All I can say is, talk to someone who grew up in the USSR. I have a couple friends who did. I saw the Berlin Wall in 1969 in its heyday. I've heard the bullshit from Soviet apologists trying to deny the Wall and its reality. OK? Point conceded, since I never contested it? What's that... got to do with this? > Then come back and tell me about how McDonald's forces you to ... what ... I have no idea what you imagine McDonald's is forcing you to do. I don't know either, since you're imagining me imagining McDonald's forcing me to do something. For the same reason, I will be unable to "come back and tell you". I lack whatever information this is. > You can always run away to Venezuela anytime you feel oppressed in the US. Nobody is going to stop you. Hahaha, oh, I see.
