Forums - Politics - Overly obese people, Tobacco Users, or Extreme poor people: Which make the United States look the Worst?

Overly obese. With shows like Honey Boo-Boo, it is actually becoming "normal" to be obese......to even be proud of it.

To have such disregard for ones own health and to display such a lack of shame in flaunting it, is just so wrong.

Huh? What are you talking about?

Smoking? USA is rather considered to be one of the countries with the harshest anti-smoker laws in the world.

Living off the government? USA is rather considered to have a third world social system where poor/unemployed people can hardly expect anything from the government and many end up homeless.

The obesity part is correct though - While USA has actually meanwhile fallen to place 2 in worldwide obesity, most people will probably still first think of americans when they think of overweight people.


* OCED Obesity.

Worldwide Obesity the US is quite farter down the list due to countries like Nauru.

Agreed. I have never heard of Nauru, so U.S.A would still be number one for me unless I dug up some chart.

Well number 2... unless you've never heard of Mexico.

Which get on your nerves the most?

 

Obesity Now Costs Americans More In HealthCare Spending Than Smokers!

That is just one problem, and do not forget that Poor people also get free medical/Dental/Food/Money/Housing/etc.

Then there is the other things they do to us. The World views all of us as Cowboys who smoke ourselves to death, overweight Mcdonalds daily eaters who only eat at Mcdonalds because a lot of us live off the Government.

Good things for Over weight: Teaches kids not to care about how they look since many look fat.

2. Our huge amount of food that we grow yearly has a smaller dent put into it instead of getting dumped by farmers and having the government pay them for it.

3. They create jobs( Just as much health stuff as skinny people because they want to be normal and they want to lose weight as well, Doctor visits when their bodies give out, or constructoin workers/plumbers/janitors when they break things, they also need special clothing as well which you can usually find at K-mart)

Good things for Smokers: Tobacco is a huge industry and employes many.

2. Freedom, what is more free than firing up a cigar while drinking some Scotch?

3. Jobs again ( Cancer, Lung failure, Heart Failure, other ailments should keep health professionals working forever)

Good thing about Poor people: Homeless can be an easy way for you to show your kids why they need to do well in school, unless they enjoy camping and eating Road kill. If you live in the South you may have it back fire.

2. Re-use of America's waste. On a daily basis American's buy more items than they will ever use. Have you seen Cribs? They will never wear any of those clothes ever again. Goodwill, yardsales, garbage cans, etc. They are the Human equivalent of a recycling plant. Some who we call artist, will recycle even the craziest things just to turn them to art, so everything is used!

3. More labor jobs! Food stamps is huge. All the farmers, grocery stores, gas stations, etc that get money from this. Taxes that come from every thing but the point of sale is huge as well. They employ millions of Health professionals as well, plus the endless amount of social service workers who have jobs now.

4. Do you like jobs that you would not want to do to be done? Landscaping, janitorial work, park cleaning, automotive, etc? Thank a poor person.

 

So in the end they all are actually a big part of our society and help a lot. So think about that next time you insult us! Or I may just go crazy and punch you in your damned FACE!

People who think it's okay to put tax dollars to people that have not worked a day ion their life.. and think they deserve various things the tax payers can't afford for various excuses... both oif these people make us all look like idiots... and the worse part is.. the people that is supporting the people who have not bothered to even try to work a day in their lives.. talk about how it's so much better to support these people.. then to support the rich.. then go out.. and guess what.. support the rich through various means.. (Not to mention they are just dang well wrong)...  Both of these people irate the Hell out of me... and show how stupid we are..

Predictions made by gamers concerning the current Nintendo line up of games.

Pikmen 3= Little Bump to nothing. (Got Little Bump)

Wind Waker HD= Won't sell anything (The explosion happened here and at one time 4 Wii U games was in the Amazon top 100)

Super Mario 3D World= Won't help at all looks cheap. (Currently the most sought after Wii U game and continuing the Wii U increase.)
