Do you mean the American government? Corporations?

All governments lie. So do most corporations. And most people.




The problem is american lies are so arrogant and spiteful. It is transparent the way you people twist and spin issues to suit your own agenda. Yet still nobody denounces you, because you are bullies. It is like a big fat rich kid going on about jesus and creation theory unchallenged, while all the other kids know he is an absolute idiot, but do not want to make him angry. They after all have been invited to his birthday party, and do not want to mess that up. The uncool kids are mercilessly mocked and tormented unfairly because they once said something true about the fat arrogant american.

It is transparent the way you people twist and spin issues to suit your own agenda because you're so smart and cunning. Yet still nobody denounces you because they are afraid of your awesome power, because you are bullies meaning you can kick our asses. It is like a big fat handsome and rightfully confident rich kid going on about jesus, his Mexican gardener, and creation of a theory that Americans are mentally unchallenged while non-Americans are not, while all the other kids know he is a genius, and anyone that doesn't love the United States is an absolute idiot, but they do not want to make him angry because he will kick their asses. They after all have been invited to his birthday party, and do not want to mess that up. The uncool kids like Svetlana are mercilessly mocked and tormented unfairly because they once said something true about the fat arrogant handsome and rightfully confident american.

This troll probably doesn't deserve a response, but what the hell:
What do you mean "you people?" You didn't answer my questions: You do mean the government, corportations or the people themselves?

Let's assume you mean the government, it'll save you some face.

Nobody denounces the American government? Do you read the news? You should start. You'd see that most countries are denouncing the USA.

There are plenty of people fighting the USA's unjust war in Iraq as well as the creation theory pushers. Keep your generalizations about government in a different arena than generalizations about the citizens. I don't agree with the way North Korea treats their people, but I have nothing against the citizens of North Korea and would love to have some over for dinner. They need it.

In small Canadian and American suburbs, where the only place to eat in a 2km radius is your local McDonalds (not even a grocery store in sight), that same 2km radius will have lots of fat, unhealthy people.

I've never seen a place like that. So there are small suburbs where there's a McDonald's every 2 km but not a single grocery store? Usually in suburbs people have cars and can at least drive to a grocery store. I don't know many people who move to the suburbs lacking a car.

Poor people in suburbs? Teens and children aren't generally responsible for grocery shopping. I'm just curious where these suburbs that are deprived of a grocery store but over serviced with fast food are?

They also generally don't know how to cook anything other than a microwaved pizza pop.

Everywhere. By suburb, I mean somewhere outside of the city core (not just out of downtown, just out of the more dense areas of a city). Also smaller towns with no core, but lots of roads, superhighways passing through, etc. Basically where the population is not densely packed, unlike Korean cities. It is very possible to live within walking distance of a fast food outlet (not just McDonalds) but not in walking distance of a grocery store. Very very possible!! I've seen it with my own eyes!!!

If you "wiki" what a suburb is, you will notice one of the major components of one is the "strip mall" which, in my experience, often just contains a fast food restaurant with a drive through, a donut shop, and a gas station with a small convenience store attached. Sure there are ones with grocery stores, but some really don't have a single grocery store!! I don't have photographic evidence or anything, but I'm sure they're out there! It's because it's an area where everyone relies on cars, and they just all shop at costco or something.

These suburbs exist all over British Columbia. And probably the rest of North America. Studies have shown that people are more obese in smaller North American communities where the population is less dense and rely on cars to get anywhere. This will definitely affect the food intake of kids when their parents aren't around to cook them dinner.

Combine laziness, fast food availability, and an urban landscape where you need a car to get anywhere and you've got fat people. And I don't blame McDonalds one little bit.
