Your height of world power has come and gone with the ending of the Cold War. Europeans will rule once again, with us leading the way (as usual).

*sigh* Try not to paint such a depressing image! Maybe communities will become more important in the future and all of our wars will degenerate back into small regional conflicts between towns.

Ha ha ha ha ha.... ... Ah, that was funny! Oh, wait, were you serious? Ha ha ha ha... that's even funnier! (No offense to Europeans, we Americans are about to lose our turn in the next couple of centuries... and I think it will be the time of Asia next!)

Or possibly India. The jury's still out on this one.

Russia? give them some 50 years of peace...

I think the main problems with Russia is that its ever decreasing population and outflow of scientists makes it less of a contender in the near future..... now, say 3 centuries from now when they hold all the remaining Natrual Resource reserves.....

Unless China's walked in and grabbed them-which could happen.

lol

We all know the reformed Golden Horde will rise out of Asia and after centuries of conflict, bring Chengis Khan worship to the dominant religion in the world!

I wasn't bragging young fellow, I was merely stating a fact. At least we have experience of ruling the world, you just dream of it.

Naw, we don't rule it. We just bought it (after getting everyone too lethargic and nausious to stop us with McDonald's)

 

[Blade!]

Mmmmmmm.... McDonalds!!!! Actually I think I will go there right now! Zzzzzzzzzzz.....!

A "good meal at McDonalds"-isn't that a bit of an oxymoron!

He who lives in glass house, Limey.

But you must admit that the Egg McMuffin is a culinary marvel, no?

Actually I don't really like McDonald's but if he goes there he seems to enjoy it and I wish him all the best and survival of it

The best McDonald's is good for is a fast cheap breakfast and ice.

I really appreachiated the ice when a friend of mine closed the car's door before I had retreated my hand. it had some power and although I went to McDonald's on the other side of the road (it was around 4.40 in the sleeping city center of Garmisch-Partenkirchen!) and got free ice immediately for my finger it stayed blue for 3 weeks , I lost my nail and it was about a year till it grew anew.

Oh my you are uncultured across the ocean! Just got back from that Mecca of fastfood joints. You must just see McDonalds as a funny Americanesque eatery...instead of the culinary marvel that it is! MMmmmmm.... And the new "dollar menu" is great! (not available in all loacations, only participating stores, please read small print, etc....)

 

[Agelastus]

I do live in Britain remember-one McDonald's minimum per small town these days.

Overpriced, lukewarm, often cardboardy burgers, the taste of which they're trying to hide with an overabundance of onion, lettuce etc. You can get better burgers from a street trader (I know, I do!)

Still, the milkshakes are rather nice, though, I will admit.

Don't forget "Emergency Medical Care Facility" see SoleSurvivor's post above

The world could be worse off if the original fast food joint took off around the world. I am talking about WhiteCastle, their speciality; steam cooked burgers (why is there no vomiting smilie?)

Abandon taste all ye who enter here.

Hey, you can buy their burgers frozen, now. So you can nuke your pre-steamed frozen burger. You know, McD's is starting to look *slightly* better.
