Originally by: Arianhod
Originally by: Frankinator And yes, maybe we will grow up someday, America is only about 250 years old, so give us a bit of time, how long have you guys been in business? And honestly, take a look at your own country's history and we will see who the real monsters really were.
Im not saying America is perfect at all, or even remotely close, but neither are you.
Okay, how much more time do you want for your multi generational, post colonial country to grow up? Just pointing out that the majority of the population are native born and hence cannot blame the "newness" they have on other countries, or are you claiming that the US has no history at all for itself? Britain itself, the original motherland of the original 13 is only 301 years old itself.
The real monsters left here to go colonize America, Slavery was abolished here a considerable amount of time before the USA civil war.
But both of these points mean nothing at all realy, because not a single person alive now can testify to first hand experience of the events themselves 
What does matter is the USA's overbearing nature on the world, you have your independence, why must your government which the majority of Americans seem to take pride in (the nation itself, which is represented to the world by your politicians) make such an issue of making the world conform with their view of what it should be. I acknowlege this is a bit of a rant, but at the end of the day it has to be said that as long as the US takes an unhealthy interest in the affairs of other sovereign entities, the people of those entities will heavily scrutinize the people who elect the government of said country.
bolded the parts i have been talking in about in my last post
first bold: that makes great britain twice as old as america, in your opinion, who has more wisdom and experience?, a 21 year old, or a 42 year old? the same applies here, americans didnt have their own government, and when we broke off, we somewhat started our own new form of government, completely unlike what us and our ancestors had been used to and been using for those 300 years JUST LIKE GREAT BRITAIN when every new generation was met w/ a king with a new last name
second bold: you seem to forget that great britain originally brought over slavery, and its very IDEOLOGY over when THEY FIRST began colonizing north america (and started the process of taking indian land and space) you cant expect every new country to just completely drop who they are, and their origins when they break off from their original coutnry, looking at your UK for example, they came FROM the Roman Empire, but still kept their traditions, such as slavery, the calendar the RELIGION, the ALPHABET, its obviously going to take some time for a country to form its own identity, which is why it took a whole 50 years more to abolish slavery AND A CIVIL WAR
third bold: is that not what britain did when they began colonizing hmmm, africa, australia, india and north america begin things like market manufacturing, industrialism, machines, steam engines, ect.
fourth bold: relates to third bold, when britain would send over its own govenors to india, or set up its own town on AFRICAN land
not trying to start a flame war, because it honestly seems there are more british / european posters, and you guys have an unhealthy tendency to compeltely agree on everything, (like treating a fellow europeans word like the "word of god") just pointing a few facts out is all

on topic though
not all americans have an unhealth obsession with perfectly white teeth, especially me, my aunt used to have that kind of obsession, she would brush her teeth with baking soda, and it did the job of getting her really white teeth, but brushing with baking soda also makes your teeth pourous, so while she had white teeth, and mine are somewhat white, my teeeth will probably last longer than hers
second: it could also be the fact that those people with extremely white teeth brush their teeth/ rinse with mouthwash like 3 times a day (like my dentist reccomends )

So who's happier?
The guy with a toothy white smile?
Or the guy with a slightly yellow smile and $500-$1000 in his hand? ---

Me, because I laugh at people who honestly care that much.
Ever notice how the people with irritatingly white teeth ALSO have really fake, orange suntans?

Approximately 127 million adults in the U.S. are overweight, 60 million are obese

competing in ratios yes. competing in raw numbers no.
so according to your way of measuring things, in the EU, with about 490million people and an obesity rate of about 27% for men and 38% for women means you have approximately 66 million obese men and 93million obese women
that is a grand total of about 160million obese population in Europe, and a grand total of about 120million in america, so Europe beats us if you want to use the raw numbers |

Um, because Plaque leads to gengevitus or worse cavity's?
It's important to have a mouth that doesn't smell like dead fish because well, it's dying.
That being said, I need to go to the dentist, it's been a while....... |

Europe has a signficantly higher number of people than the USA, EU itself contains approx 450M at a rough guestimate, Germany (80) Brit/France/Italy (60 a piece) and Spain/Poland (40) are the ones I know off the top of my head which is just the Great powers of the EU, I can't remember the others off the top of my head, my apologies Akita  |

"LOL America's going Socialist like the EU has been for the last 60+ years, funding said Socialism by borrowing it's money from the worlds leading Communist country."
Does the above count? 
jk btw, though a satirical ring of truth to it in my opinion.
