Ah come on! That was firmly tongue in cheek. Get a sense of humour people.

NBC's Dateline is having about the camp that brings Palestinian and Israeli children together.
I couldn't think of the name before. Quote:
The camp is located in Maine and is called the Seeds of Peace. Their website has a lot of information. A Message from John Wallach, President and Founder of Seeds of Peace, Fall 2000. John Wallach died July 10th from cancer. America and Americans do a lot more than is reported in papers and newscasts around the world. Many of these things that America does is never reported in other countries. I had known about this camp for years, although I couldn't remember the name of it. I had mentioned it in another thread.

Here's a thought:
How many people in the world have anti-american sentiments that are actually valid?

If you don't have the information of why the a country or person takes a particular stand and only get the point of view of the one party - you can't make an intelligent decision one way or the other.

You can decide if it hurts you or not. If your definition of "valid" depends primarily on that (and it is a reasonable criterion) that might be all you are interested in.
It's not an uncommon point of view, in these matters. |

I do agree that America has become fat. It is pretty bad. I don't seem to see it so much in everyday life - but if I go to the shore or something - it seems like everyone is overweight. Part of the reason I think American's are overweight and in some cases downright fat - is because of our standard of living. People eat out constantly. In New Jersey it's generally full course meals in really good restaurants - in the midwest it's more fast food junk (at least where I lived). I mean come on - Seymour, Indiana had 3 McDonalds and it only has a population of 17,000 people. In addition - it had a Taco Bell, Rally's, Burger King, Hardees, Dominoes, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, KFC, Wendy's, etc etc. In New Jersey I have to drive 10 miles to just go to a fast food place - there aren't a lot around where I live (there aren't any in my town and Plainsboro has 20,000 people), but I don't care - I'm more the full course good restaurant type of person anyway. Additional problems are lack of exercise. I have a friend, who is concerned about her weight and hardly eats in order to stay thin (she's also "vegan"), but will insists on trying to get a cab in NY to go from 32nd Street (Penn Station) to 42nd Street (Times Square). I just tell her she can wave her arms for the cab as we walk - if she can get one to stop we'll take it. I've won everytime - so I basically am forcing her to walk. I've walked everywhere in NY - from Battery Park to middle of Central Park, from the Hudson to the East River. (I don't formally exercise though). Even kids don't get enough exercise. It's really sad when overweight kids are the majority on the playground. Here is the list of fattest cities in the US - Quote:

This is also interesting.... Quote:
Go here to calulate your Body Mass Index to see where you lie in the "fat scales" . National Institute of Health: BMI Calculator Now this is something that has gotten Florida into a lot of "trouble" for - It’s in His Genes: Family Fights Over Heavy Son - ABCNews. Basically the "state had spent thousands of dollars on lawyers and social workers" trying to take custody of this 8 year old boy from his parents because he's overweight.

In Britain we blame America for making us fat. It's all your fault...
