When I talk to people in other countries there are a few things they mention over and over. 1) we eat too much....way too much. 2) we sit around too much. 3) we're violent, which they think comes from eating too much, not exercising and being bored with life, and 4) we're racists.

Sounds about right to me.

I'm sure you've seen people from other countries in restaurants and they're amazed by the amount of food we get. It's not necessary. Few of us work hard enough to consume the calories in just one meal so they've got that one right.

No other country has mass shootings (they fix problems, we have republicans), So they have the violent part down.

As far as racism. Our police murder innocent black kids and black men. In what other civilized country would that be allowed to happen over and over?
