$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('threadbear', 'I')nternationally, the Americans who opposed the war, work to better the world --and better yet, understand it, are admired. The rest are viewed with complete withering contempt. There is nothing quite so curious and appalling as a junk food addled, fat and stupid person, telling you how to run your country or your life.
Go to any airport in Europe and play "spot the American". They don't walk, they shuffle. Many of them are mouth breathers and many more are morbidly obese and nearly all of them are wearing jogging suits and sneakers, which in Europe, resemble pajamas. The most notable thing though, is the expression on their faces--a mixture of bovine complacency and mild confusion.
This is the international face the ignorant type of American presents to the world. When foreigners watch your abyssmal television shows, think of how the international community's respect level plummets.
So hear this, you ignoramuses want some respect? Close your mouth, lose some weight, quit shuffling, and don't wear pajamas in public.
Well thread looks like Canada is not immune to obesity.
