Do any of you actually feel like you gain something continuing a debate for almost 1k posts? I'm not judging or complaining, genuinely curious.

Just have someone give you your black sash... or award it to yourself. That might work.
Being serious for a second, there seems to be some folks taking things personally right now. Am I wrong?
Case in point. Why do you think that? The only concern I'm bringing up is that you seem determined to take this personally, and I can't figure out why. Why do you think I care one way or the other if you post in this thread? I just don't think it's great if there's a lot of unnecessary drama. But you seem determined to create drama. I don't get it.

You said if it sells poor quality and engages in unethical practices. Look up Ray Kroc.

I am having a blast as a matter of fact. I’m not using those IQ points anyway…

I like McDonalds. I mean, for what it's worth. But as they teach the kids in elementary school, it's a "sometimes" food.

I think everyone gets a free frosty at Wendy's when the post goes over 50 pages. Wait... is Wendy's bad or good? I don't know. I eat there, too.

Create Drama? I was making a comment, I’m not mad. It seems like pushing back on ideas we don’t agree with is pretty commonplace on Internet forums. You said I’m taking it personally but really it’s just the analogy I don’t agree with. I keep trying (and clearly failing) to make a joke to lighten up the discussion, but we know how that goes… @Hot Lunch seems to have an appetite for discussing the particulars. I am actually really developing a taste for this junk food discussion.Just have someone give you your black sash... or award it to yourself. That might work.

Never tried it. Not sure I'd trust a fast food restaurant with chili-going back to that whole lack of quality thing.Dude! The chili is delicious.
There's nothing wrong with doing something for free. I was just highlighting the the challenges that comes with it. I can charge $20 a month and still offer "free" to someone who needs it.
There is always the option to offer free. When I fell upon financial hardiships for multiple years, my teacher trained me for free. Free is always an option.
At one point I went from free to being forcefully paid. Had 2-3 years of free lessons, and at some point took on an instructor role. Came in one day to my sensei handing me money. Argued with him for a bit-multiple years of free lessons, I wasn't going to charge to help out.
Eventually accepted it. Then sometime during covid he posted a gofundme to help keep the place until they could start training again. Figured out how much he'd paid me and dropped it in there

We each know that we’re correct and have real insight into everything. We continue the thread as an exercise in ‘intellectual jousting’. It’s fun because, I suspect, we don’t take ourselves too seriously…well I do, but I’m the most correct.

Who’s Wendy? She sounds nice.I think everyone gets a free frosty at Wendy's when the post goes over 50 pages. Wait... is Wendy's bad or good? I don't know. I eat there, too.

Quality can be measured in different ways.

Sincerely, if you intend to keep it lighthearted, I'm relieved and retract what I said completely. I was obviously misjudging the tone of your posts.

Mmm... as I was eating my chicken mcnuggets for lunch, I was reminded of a pair of Jamie Oliver Videos. I'll have to see if I can find them now... comedy gold.
Edit: Okay. It's really best, if you have the time, to watch these in order. They are both of the same demonstration that Jamie Oliver does for kids. The first is a group of kids in the UK, and the second is in the USA.
