american fatness

whatever. you don't know anything about it. everything I've said in this thread is totally reasonable. people think I'm deliberately mean to Penny because of our history and I'm trying to "get back at her" or some such idea, but the truth is she's the only person from here that I know very very well and I notice hypocrisy the way I don't with others.

 

We actually like you. Atleast here. We think of Canadians as English speaking Europeans.

 

well i do live on earth's forgotten corner... i'm sure they're slowly pushing their way into this frontier too...

 

Awesome.


And Undies...we have 24 hr MickyD's here...but I never eat there unless I really want to feel sick for hours after...which is never.

 

Did anybody hear that the US passed the torch, as the fattest country, onto Australia? I always envisioned bikinis and babes when I thought about the land down under. I bet Mickey Ds is at fault!


In other news, it's been years since I ate at a McDonalds.

 

*applause*

 

AHA!!! so it's a canadian thing, and they're just blaming it on us!

 

Yeah, I haven't had McD's since I watched Super Size Me a little over a year ago.

 

totally ersatz documentary.
not that I'm pro-macdo.

 

I watched it, and if I were a McDonalds fan, I would still eat there. I just don't like McDonalds. Now, I'm not saying I eat healthy all the f'ing time, and that I'm soooo coolio because I don't eat fast food. Shit, if there were a Chipotle less than 3 hours from my location, I would have myself a big problem. I'm just lucky the only fast food joint in my town is McDonalds and Culvers, and I hate them both equally.

 

Thanks a lot for calling me a hypocrit.

I have never said I wasn't touchy but honestly, when Kolak insulted the French, I wasn't being touchy, he was being a douche a real one and on purpose and he saw it was affecting me and didn't stop. You two are very alike in fact.

I don't think getting hurt by your sadistic attacks is being touchy.

 

P.S No you obviously don't know me as well as you claim to, cause you're wrong about more than half of the shit you accuse me of.. except if you're talking about 50 years ago - while still being unfair.

 

Fuck 'em. Food tastes better in America then it does anywhere else and America has more food then anyone else, that's why Americans are overweight and I don't see a problem with it, to be honest. You live once, enjoy it and if by eating a pizza and a Chinese dish at 2 AM you're enjoying your one shot then I see no harm.

America is in the top 10, woo hoo, while France is 128th on the list nestled amongst countries currently experiencing famine.

 

So have you ever been anywhere outside the US ?


Just asking...

 

Been to Europe and I was born and raised in Canada and still living there.
And when I say America has the best food, I don't mean that hotdogs beat eggrolls I mean that America's menu is very, very diverse thus the best in the world.

 

This is off topic, but whatever...

You know what sometimes annoys me ? When people say 'I've been to Europe' or something like that...It kinda sounds like Europe is a country.


:leaving:

 

Will be soon.

 

We'll see.

 

what do you mean, didn't stop? Kolak made one (yes, one) off the cuff joke about the French not bathing. then 5 minutes later he went on to talk about how brilliant Sartre was. the guy even went out of his way to speak to you in French a few times. he makes one joke and you hit the ceiling.
