		<description>There&#039;s a reason that McDonalds is successful the world over - because non-American locals are buying it.

We all know what it is and to stereotype the USA based on a McDonalds reference is tired to say the least.

I hope you kicked her ass!</description>

		<description>This is a topic that comes up in my travels all over, and it was a huge one back in Ukraine when I was teaching English so I think it gets to me a bit more because it just keeps repeating itself.  This woman here was telling this to me like I had anything to do with it, and I could tell that trying to give her any sort of feedback would have just made things more awkward when sitting at the dinner table with 4 other people.</description>

		<description>Ahhh... but Brooke: 1) those people who &quot;make&quot; you angry are only reflecting something back to you that you have great difficulty dealing with.2) McDonalds IS (EXTREMELY) PROCESSED food... that IS crap.  Just let them know that the corporation that exploits it&#039;s workers, it&#039;s suppliers &amp; it&#039;s customers is NOT what we love to believe is true for most Americans.3) You cannot control what anybody thinks of anything... you can only control your response.4) A missed opportunity to help someone stuck in &quot;all or nothing&quot; thinking.</description>

		<description>I hate hate hate people like that. They generalize an entire country based on something a friend told them or they re-live an old travel memory that is no longer worth the effort it is the speak it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; I mean thanks to Steve Irwin the world thinks Australians all say crikey as a daily phrase.</description>
