McDonald's flourishes in France
MILLAU, France — Back in 1999, a sheep farmer in an Asterix mustache led a small band of Gauls on a Big Mac attack heard’round the world. A proud, feisty France, he exulted, humbled Imperial McDonald’s.
The symbols seemed perfect. Asterix, a French comic-book hero who drew super-strength from a magic potion, saved his corner of Gaul from Rome. But, this time, the Empire struck back.
Today Jose Bove, the Farmers’ Confederation firebrand, risks slipping away into history. “McDo” cash registers at 1,030 locations, meanwhile, ring up a million sales a day to French customers.

The hallways of Benjamin Franklin Science Academy in quiet Muskogee, Oklahoma, are far from those of the tough, lower-class Paris suburbs where the battle was fought over the right of Muslim girls to wear head scarves required by their religion.

Ethics Thread:
This is a thread I am creating where anyone can report Name Calling, smearing, Hostile remarks (without backing), etc.
This is not for reporting people just because they’re radical.
I think people have complained about this and in order to have better Dialogue we need to keep such things out. We need to save this from being an Ego forum.
After someone posts a hostile name calling quote, we will all just comment about how revolting the quote is until he recants.
(I am not some type of admin and if I am in violation of any rules please tell me)
