Returning to the USA for Xmas...Advice for Americans...

Europeans enjoy a higher standard of living than Americans? I hope you didn't mean that seriously. I've bene Europe a few times, and not even the crappy parts. The problem with Europe is that they don't have enough of anything and its overcrowded. Women shaving their armpits and legs would be nice too. But more importantly, your entire post and subsequent replies simply illustrate the fact that you and most of the rest of the world envy, and in turn detest, Americans. You envy us because in our very short existence we have managed to rise above your ancient and outmoded ways of living. The only semi-valid point you possibly have is concerning weight issues (the rest are simply ignorant) and that only applies to a certain segment of society. In short, you are the same kind of clueless and doltish individual that causes many Americans to look down upon your kind, even the decent ones.

FYI America's obesity epidemic is entirely the result of all of the empty carbs and sugars we eat. Same with our decaying teeth.

Now this was a funny post on so many levels.

For the women out there. Not wearing makeup and letting yourself go is embarrasing.

I live in Europe and most of the people i know who visit USA mention those two issues spontaneousely when they come back and talk about the States.

If you think Thai cuisine is finer than what I eat here in America then you are an idiot who hasn't bothered to look around. And another thing, if your adopted country wasn't so incompetent and poor they would all be fat too.

PS. Being slightly overweight is more healthy than being skinny.

You win the prize for least supported and probably least supportable statement. But I guess we'll never know.

Because your latest issue of cosmo says it aint so?

Look at the actuarial tables son.

Edit: What this really means is that weight tables are too light. Either way, too lean is unhealthy. Less unhealthy than grossly obese, which does not contradict what I said.

Thanks for contributing nothing. It goes well with your bad attitude.

Son.

I contributed quite a bit more than you.
