Same reason all cups of hot coffee must have "caution: contents are hot" on them.

Or "Warning: Sharp item" on knives. Few days ago I went to library and saw this.

Quote from jamesrowe :

I dont agree with you at all! To be big as in fat (how i ment it as i said food), then it is not in you're genes to become fat is it? it is due to the person eatting to much

There actually is gene that causes tendencity (I'm not sure about if word is right) to overweight, I think it was found few years ago, but it is not only reason and even if one has that gene it is not like you would be doomed to overweight, but it is just more likely that you will get overweight.

Life is too easy today, weight is kept under control only using muscles so that you burn energy, also eating is important, to eat right stuff and several times a day, I did lost 10kg with just eating MORE, but I did pick healthier food and I started eating 3-4 times a day instead of just once, I think I eat now 3-4 times more than before and still I get less weight, overall I feel much better and I have much more energy, can't complain anything else, but money food budget have gone trough roof as I eat so much more, lol.

Quote from Bergade :

The amount of people in the US who are overweight and just don't seem to care

and thats my point, so why does it really matter?

what exactly are we arguing about here honestly, does number of fat people in this world.. honestly matter?

Fat people cost money, don't know if it's so dramatic in your system, but I guess it shows in the insurances.
And it's not right that some people die for hunger and some for over eating, it's just crazy.

word?


omg this thread needs to be closed lol

i think you guys just like fat people, thats why you're talking about them so much

Quote from Captain Slow :

america cant make cars that turn.

+1 I totally agree!!

Haha, funny thread. Oh yeah, United State's viliage idiot checking in.

about time, they said the idiot was missing..

I don't get the whole americans are fat thing. I only know about three or four people at my school who are obese.

There are, honestly, a ton of Americans who are fat, and a ton that are stupid. There's just no getting around it. Just today, I was at an amusement park, and the rollercoaster needed to wait at the station, because several passengers were too fat to actually fit in the seats. The scary thing was, these people didn't seem "fat." What most people percieve as normal weight, is actually around 15 pounds overweight, which is a lot.

And as for a lot of Americans being stupid, I could write an essay on all the stupid things I've seen people do, I'd say some, but it's late and I'm tired...

I gona put on my flame suit here and say this;

If your driving through the united states and get a flat tire, and have Canadian plates on your car, in five minutes some american will have pulled over to see if they can help in any way.

If your just standing waiting in line at the grocery store, people will be friendly and talk to you, and I've been invited to partys and private functions by total strangers I've met on the street, and have never experienced that kind of hospitality outside of the US aside from perhaps the Netherlands.

Americans are getting too fat, but so is the rest of the world, you just wait till buger king and CockaCola take over your childrens brains and make them crave their products as adults on a regular basis. Diet and fat content do play a large part on mental health.

Americans are awsome, if you've only seen one on TV then its a silly topic to discuss. Their tv and News is designed to make people look stupid, so they blame other people rather than their own government, just look at Hurricane Katrina coverage.illepall

You judge them cause of their politicians, but I'd say those people are as fake as pro wrestlers. Corporations are the new government, and until we all realize this no corner of the globe is safe from them.

If you don't think 99% of people you interact with day to day are idiots in some way or another your probably one of the idots yourself....lol...

You know allot people seem to have all these wrong images of Americans.
I think a big problem with that is they try to squeeze us into a setting that is similar to their own. Like People from Finland might think of us as all one group of people like what they are over there. Here in the US we may be one nation indivisible, but we vary greatly by what part of the country we live in. Plus, as a nation we are highly individualistic (socially progressive politics will always be alien to us). And yeah we have gotten fat We had the unfortunate coincidence of the computer revolution and the invention of the Mega meal hit us at the exact same time.
The Euro types out there don't know about what really goes on here though,
They are limited to what they hear, read or watch on TV. Some criticize us on Bush's foreign policy and Iraq. When actually that's so yesterday for us. It seems more Americans are worried about Illegal immigration and health care subsidies than car bombs and jihads. I know I am.
LOL I don't wanna even get started about what I think our public education
has turned into

As far as our politicts goes...
I think Jayhawk said something about liberals messing up our country.
LOL The "American" liberal is not the same as his forward thinking, socially progressive counterpart in Europe. Oh no. An "American" liberal is a short sighted
intellectual wannabe that secretly wishes to convince the French that we actually do have culture around here. They are all for freedom of Speech as long as words like God or Individual Empowerment aren't used.

Then you got the conservatives. Yep these people truly believe in good wholesome American values. And for the right price, they'll happily continue to take the moral high ground. They are the most wholesome people you could ever meet. Don't believe me? ask one they'll tell you

And Finally, we have Moderates. These guys are like assitant managers at a grocery store - they'd really like to help you, but they can't.

So for the most part, we Americans realize these people are idiots and ignore them. LOL Bush ain't our president, he's yours. And if you think that sucks, well wait til Hillary becomes President again.

Uh I forgot the guys name... sorry ...he was from Canada and he hit the nail on the head with something he posted. About the rest of the world making fun of us cause we're getting a little fat. He stated that it would start happening elsewhere as well. LOL that's called "The California Effect"
It's something that happens over there and just sort of ripples out across the planet. Like the friggin hula hoop, roller disco and tofu burgers.
So when you're fumbling over the mouse pad to get at that last french fry
while filling up your iPod, Don't say you weren't warned

Speaking of Contemporary American trash... Y'all think that the next reality show of Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie will have them doing community service and staying in a halfway house?

@Jayhawk and RacerY. I'm beginning to like you guys more and more . hehe

It is same here and in US, there is some weird standard average guy, that does not represent anyones opinion but still for example voting goes by his opinions, isn't that bit weird?

You do know our president, guess my opinion about her?
Best pic I could find from her, please don't eat or drink while you open link, author of this post is not liable to anything if something goes terribly wrong (as it will) and you choke or destroy your hardware by bursting that drink out from you mouth with insane velocity and spread

^^Conan O'brian always has pictures of her on his show and he puts on the same pair of glasses....its hillariously funny.
