I'd say that proved Chris's point....
(Also, I don't think Europeans are fat. I didn't think that was a stereotype)

I remember when our ship pulled into port in Sydney Australia for a week in 76. Maybe things are different now but I met some people there who loved Americans. A couple of navy friends and myself met some Aussies at a pub and shot some pool with them and they invited us home for tea. We didn't know that meant dinner but they invited half the neighborhood over and we had a huge party. I will always remember the older neighbor who was telling me he was in a concentration camp in WW2 with some American POW's and they were the best people in the world and nobody better say anything bad about Americans in front of him.
If things have changed and are like what Chris says then that is sad.

Nice troll gft. Every american thinks that Europeans are fat, have bad teeth and live off the American Defense spending.

I don't know of a single person that believes that.
As for myself whom has been out of the country, the amount of people that were obese in Europe that I saw wasn't even in the same ballpark as my own country. It makes me quite sad how little people in America seem to care for their health.

Yeah safe to say the world view of Americans has changed in the last 40 years

So, you don't think Europe can afford not to spend on Defense because America foots the bill? If you do, you're a fool. And Brits are fat as hell, as are Germans.

So Obama running around the world apologizing for the United States didn't help make us be better liked?
And the guy won a Nobel peace prize and everything.

Oh no, I hurt some guys feelings

But seriously, the main response here is not introspection but attack. Well the Brit's are this the Europeans are that. Not hey do people really think that about us?
OBF - things have changed in the last 40 years, yes. They're currently looking better though, mainly because of Obama.
Important to remember I'm talking about perception here.

If I troll, I try to be a little more sophisticated than that. If you are unwilling to accept how a lot of the developed world sees your country, that's not my fault.

Also yes, dentistry here is seriously lagging. We're also overweight nearly as much as the US (as shown in some graph above). We're quite similar countries at a personal level - there are plenty of fat lazy people, too much fast food, processed shit and sugary drinks, kids staying inside playing video games not exercising, that kind of thing.

Yes, there is a giant pile of useless humans in the USA.
Precisely why I'm not super psyched to pay for their shit lifestyle and pay for their healthcare when their organs start failing at 35 years old.
Currently, the Democratic Party has other plans.

Well on the one side you have the republicans saying "they can eat and do whatever the fuck they like, just don't come crying to me when their weight begins with a 3" and on the other you have the democrats saying "we should control what people eat to stop them from getting so fucking fat all the time" and that's an actual political debate, with legitimate cases to be argued on both sides.
I personally would lean to the republicans on that side, but with the requirement that people be taught how to eat healthily, since clearly a generation (or two) is not learning this at home, and certainly not from TV, and think the only way to eat cheaply, and quickly (since they don't have much time after working long hours for example) is to eat shit.
