well accordingly to Encyclopedia of the Nations there are no kfc or mcdonalds in laos so rather or not a mcdonals business would succeed or not is determined by communist laos and not base on rather it would be successful or not,

laos needs to get involve in world crisis, what i mean is a democratic laos would need to go out there and help others. right now communist laos care for nothing but its own a$$, its military has little to no experience in modern warfare,

if 80 percent of the population has insurance and 20 percent dont how does the 20 percent pay to fix someone up that they killed or injured? how would they be liable for deaths or harm to others if those 20 percent do not have any form of insurance? therefore to protect a democratic lao citizen from accidents i think its mandatory everyone has at least liability insurance and the ones who are caught without it go to jail or pay stiff fines because we're talking about safety, a democratic lao government exist to protect its people.

before obamas health bill what did we have? yes we had health-care that bankrupt families, pre obama health reform nearly 50 million americans did not have health-care because the price was unaffordable in many cases they just couldn't get it because of this or that etc, like i mentioned early it costed me 1,000 bucks just to get my hand stitch and my grandpa paid 90k for an over night stay for an operation. i've seen enough of Michael moores documentary on americas past health care system to know enough that without health care reform many people are going to suffer and will continue to suffer. my question is do you speak from compassion or do you speak with money in mind? obviously its the latter. of course this health reform that obama pass cost billions but guess what it doesn't matter what you or i think, its the vote that counts. people voted for abama and this health care reform is what they want. that's democracy for you.

and finally alcohol can also make you lazier, dumber and poorer too, really there's no argument that weed or marijuana is worse than alcohol. statistically alcohol is worse. you can choose to believe whats most logical to you but the facts speaks for it self.

...and yes, please keep the fast food places out of here!!

who him? LOLZ, no actually he is chai vang, a hmong hunter who killed nearly 7 white hunters in wisconsin, if you want to learn more about him just wiki chai vang, anyway its not just about junk food that mcdonalds or kfc can offer laos, a democratic laos would benefit from it financially. mandatory insurance laws is there to protect the people and hold people accountable for their actions, PLUS it create jobs and open up markets that the government can bank on as well as individuals. before the pathet laos took over the royal lao government worked with the french, yes early colonialism back then was horrible and i understand, but look at the infrastructure and technology that france colonialism brought to laos. on the other hand the pathet lao wanted to reverse that, they wanted to go backwards and live a backwards society. a democratic laos would open up relations with the world. a democratic laos would need a strong army, one that continues to advance its military power. imagine if aliens attacked laos, the country be squished like a bug. america on the other hand has nuclear power to fight back, in this world of eternal struggle a developing country like laos need to take what it can and do what it should with force if necessary to secure a respectable place in this world.

That's ok if Laos don't have McDonald yet. I like Lao food better. In the U.S I eat McDonald, Pizza about one a month. It's cost about $5 for a meal. They also has $1 menu. Most Lao people can afford it if they open one plus million of tourist would like it too.

Food is cheap and affordable in the U.S. They have many of fast food restaurant. You have lot of choice and GDP is high. American GDP is $42,000 a year. They have .50€, $1 burger, taco, $5 Pizza  or $1,000 burger in Las Vegas for super rich.

If they open fast restaruant. Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Burger King in Laos they also need to hired a lot of Lao worker. A win win situation for Laos. I think.

Yes most Lao people prefer Asian food Lao, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese. Supply and demand if few people eat McDonald they'll be out of business. But I think they be fine if it open in good location. Where there is a lot of tourist. What I notices is little kids like to eat them. In the U.S many high school student work there after school to earn extra cash. I like the jobs creating idea. If there are 100 McDonald open all over Laos it will create jobs. Fast food restaurant are franchise so anybody can own the business if they have money to invested.
