    I did not fabricate this! He kept going.. and he was immitating the French in a very insulting way with this stupid fake French accent people try to immitate and that I really cannot stand and he was making me look bad in front of the whole class. When I got out everyone felt bad for me and asked me if I was okay and said he had been an asshole. But of course, you didn't notice that. You probably felt like laughing at me.

    And you insult me and everyone without noticing.

    I remember what you're talking about, but that was because he would do impersonations of philosophers, and when he'd do Descartes or Sartre he used that silly French accent. but he did the same with Germans and others. the guy was just a showman, he wasn't anti-French. the only people he really made fun of were the religious folks.

    Yea but there wasn't anyone from Germany or whatever in the class. I understand that he didn't have anything against the French in particular, and that he was just like that with everyone, but, still, with me in the class and very known to him since I spoke to him every day, even in French, participated and got straight A's, he could have avoided making fun of the French or when he did he could have stopped when he saw - and he saw it, we made eye-contact - that I wasn't enjoying it at all.. and then I just became embarassed and upset. And I was on my period that day.

    The store itself usually looks better and is of higher quality, I agree. Especially the Scandinavian ones. But the food itself is just as crappy all around the globe.

    The 7/11s in Scandinavian are so much cleaner than the states too.

    fair enough, but he was joking around. I put up with much worse while eating dinner with your family, and I didn't get upset.
    and I'm touchy?

    yeah, and they have beer. and curry sauce for the mcnuggets.
    but it's more than a little funny hearing some Eurotrash folks talk about the evils of Americanization and then go eat at McDonalds, which happened more than a few times.

    I regret saying "Eurotrash" just now, that was kind of immature.

    It is okay.

    The guy behind you looks like he has to go to the bathroom right after the picture is done.

    Actually, it sounds like you have no idea what I'm talking about! You made a statement:
    Which defends your being rude by saying; you're just honest. The point I brought up was; that it is a dishonest statement, because a honest person does not have to be rude. If you want to be rude, hurtful or painful to someone, that's is up to you but don't blame it on being honest!

    I know my dad was an asshole to you, but everytime he was I defended you and got into fights over defending you many times. But my dad is an asshole to everyone.

    Btw Pauline defends you everytime anyone says anything bad about you.. you're untouchable for some reason. Not that we talk about you all the time or necessarily in bad when we do.

    I don't give a shit, I go eat at Mc Donald's when I'm broke and hungry and that's all there is that's cheap to eat in the area.. and unfortunately.. it's often all there is to eat that's cheap in the area.. I critique it because it deserves to be critiqued, but whatev - I'm not all obsessed and boycotting it or anything.. I actually really love their mozarella sticks that don't exist anymore and the filet-o-fish. Yea, it's junk food, but it tastes good and is cheap.

    Yah Penny I can see where you are coming from. Perhaps you come from a region in America that tends to be a bit heavier. I think Texas and New Jersey are two of the fatter areas. But other areas of the US are ultra thin so perhaps if you went somewhere else you would only have pictures of thin people.

    Anyways on a more general note

    I am lucky to be skinny myself and I can still indulge in all sorts of food.

    But I would choose to be fat and indugle in all sorts of food than skinny and skip that second slice of blueberry cake because I am afraid of putting on a few pounds while my stomache rumbles (not that it will happen due to good metabolism). You live once, eat well!!! Doesn't mean eat shit, but treat yourself to well prepared tastey food.

    I remember while traveling I dropped from my normal 78 kilograms range to 74 kilograms and I am 1.87 metres tall.

    Side note.

    Food for thought:

    I happened to be born on a peice of land that happens to be called "country A" I had no way of choosing it, doesn't mean I take on all the stereotypes. Who knows, country A may even changes its name a bunch of times, And if country B takes A over, does that mean A takes on all of Bs traits? How does that work? Just another way to look at it to help in seeing how crazy some stereotpyes are. Because after all, we are all born on a piece of land. simple as that.
