It is indeed a FACT, you know those things that are irrefutable, like the earth does circle the sun, not the other way around, that a greater percentage of the American population is technically obese, than any other country. How can you argue that? Have you actually done your own survey and come up with different figures? Do you actually think the few thousand people you might encounter over a week or so is a perfect cross section of the US population of 313.9 million?
I admire your self confidence and find it astounding that you could possibly come to the conclusion that everyone else is wrong and you are right; Americans cannot be obese because you think it is so.
Why do you like to delude yourself with incorrect facts and go against truth? The percentage seems to fluctuate between 26% and 31% so what I wrote is the FACT and your statement is the fiction. Less than half of Americans are obese. You're just like all the other ignorant people and this was the entire point of my post. Why are you the only one not understanding or accepting this? Your random claim that most Americans are obese is incorrect based on statistics and by living here, I observe that in my day-to-day life.
What does the few thousand people I encounter each day have anything to do with national statistics conducted by several different sources? I never said I made up these statistics as educated people know less than half of Americans are obese and that there's a silly stereotype out there which claims most are obese when that's not true. More Americans are not obese than obese, it's simple. Also, out of the developed countries, Mexico is more obese than America.
To all you assholes that thumbed this stupid idiot up and me down, try reading the posts. Nowhere did I EVER say " that most Americans are obese", NOWHERE.
What I did say, which is a completely different thing, "a greater percentage of the American population is technically obese, than any other country" which is true. Shame on each and every one of you for blindly following Anonymous Poll Creator without actually reading either post. You all suck!
Oh for fuck's sake. You can read into what I wrote whatever the fuck you choose, but that does not make me wrong!
Where did you see "Your random claim that most Americans are obese" in my post? Where? Please, I beg you, where? You, like hauntedbysandwiches can make up what you please, but what I said was in fact, "a greater percentage of the American population is technically obese, than any other country" which is a far cry from, "Your random claim that most Americans are obese". God damn I get tired of being misquoted by assholes like you. Try reading a little tiny bit. "Technically obese" is a term used by the medical profession and relates to BMI, not necessarily what you might think of as fat. So, it is a fact that, "a greater percentage of the American population is technically obese, than any other country", whether it pleases your tiny fucking mind, or not. Again, I did NOT say, "most Americans are obese", but that "a greater percentage (PERCENTAGE, PERCENTAGE) of the American population is technically obese". Do you understand the difference, yet? So you and hauntedbysandwiches thumb me down, bad mouth me or hate me, even though you both are obviously too stupid to understand the difference between what you say I wrote and what I did write. Learn to read, boys.
Yes ignorant sweeping generalizations of a group is often annoying and are not being made by the most intelligent people in the world. In an ideal world these people would have been killed off by nature but since we have a safe environment that is safe from most other threats besides other humans this type of idiocy is allowed to breed and prosper. However these idiots existing often creates great suffering and irritation to those of us who are more intelligent and less close minded than these ignoramus.
While I won't claim you're right or wrong on facts (I didn't look into them), the point of the post is moreso about stereotyping. Saying you're American so you must be fat is incorrect and accusational. That's the point the OP found important.
That's exactly what I got out of their question. I think he misinterpreted it and because his comment comes off as very abrasive and ignorant, the OP felt they needed to respond that way which I can understand. He missed the point of the topic which is why they responded as they did.
Anyway, I agree with the OP as I think it's wrong to call Americans obese and make the assumption they're all obese when that's not the case.
They both misunderstood each other. He said there are fat Americans and OP said he shouldn't call all Americans obese. Failure to communicate. lol.
But yes, stereotyping is wrong.
It no longer really matters about the veracity of the claims made in these posts, it's about being attacked unjustly by simpletons who simply can't read and therefor draw conclusions based on their mistaken impressions, not that which was posted.
I couldn't care less if these cretins like me or agree with my posts, but the very least they can do is read what I have posted and not put words in my mouth.
I can understand that. It happened to me the other day with the word rape. lol. You were misinterpreted. You both misinterpreted one another and then battle began.
Very awful and ill-informed comment. I'm hoping you're someone who hates America and continues to try to keep a faux fact alive just for the sake of feeling better about yourself. No statistics show more Americans are obese than not so to make up a horribly inaccurate fact of your own is rather juvenile and naive.
He didn't say more Americans are more obese than not. He thought OP was saying Americans aren't the most obese nation. He misunderstood the post.
As for his facts, they're correct. America tops the list of obesity on every result on the first page of google except one from 2013 which Mexico topped. Whether his response was rude and irrelevant, his facts were 100% correct. Him being rude has nothing to do with the credibility of his facts. He made nothing up except the scenario he thought OP painted.
I don't know why you're calling someone a dickhead, very immature man. I read what you wrote and what they wrote but you were in the wrong and they were very much in the right. Don't get butt-hurt over your own ignorance man. I had nothing against you but I notice your posts are growing more and more rude these past few days. I hope you're okay.
IIN it annoys me when people say Americans are obese?

I agree, I think he just missed the entire point of the topic. Perhaps he didn't read it through. That's what I think anyway!
