Well since the U.S. thinks they are babysitting the world by travelling the middle east, i'd say come back to ur own country and clean up the mess from hurricane katrina, guard the mexican american border, and fix the problem of obesity (dunno how they could, but this is a fucked up thread in the first place).deathlyzer wrote:
How should the US deal with the problems we face today?

no mandatory sports after school? When I was in HS, we HAD to play a sport, and practices were 2 or 3 hours per day, depending on the day of the week. Every school should have that.Superior Mind wrote:
Well, for me this is how it is:
I am 5'6" and about 154 lbs. I am a little overweight. I could loose 10-20 lbs. This is my day: Wake up at 6:15 AM. Do my morning routine, shower, breakfast, get dressed. Go to school, I get out of school and I am tiredish. I go home and sometimes I hangout with my friend till like 5ish or sometimes I just play BF2. I do my homework, have dinner, watch TV or play BF2. Then I go to sleep. As you can see there isn't much physical activity in my day, so I think from now on I will go bike riding after school instead of BF2...I get kicked from every server anyway do to connectivity. ANd mind you, I don't eat fast food, the only junk food I eat is pizza really, which I don't really have that much, maybe once or twice every two or three weeks. I just think we need to exercise more, which I am about to do.
edit: so I guess you are in college.
Here in Virginia at my school none of my teachers really mentioned it until i got to World History II when my teacher basically started the "where were you, what did you think, what happened the rest of the day etc etc"
but being in 5th grade at the time... i didnt have much recollection except everyone being pulled out of school and seeing the TV before I went to school (school didnt start until 9:05 and i didnt even leave until 8:55)

see they may cut funding to PE/Health/Drivers Ed., and for the record im a sophomore at Westfield High(3400 students or so) in the FCPS system (Fairfax County Public Schools, VA) and i swear all the food not in the vending machine is soy(french fries, hamburgers,etc etc... the only things that arent soy are probally the salad and vegetables). so i usually eat a bag of potato chips and a thing of poptarts and a bottle of soda for lunch but back to my other point about funding, they cut funding for PE and all that for these core subject (english, math, social studies, science) teachers that complain that they dont have the materials they need to teach... which is complete bullcrap because these teachers have enough supplies that if they took the extras they could probally last an office about a month or so, oh and they whine about having old books and they want the newest and best books. but with sports my school has a very strong athletic booster program so theyre never really hurting about money but im sure some of the other schools in the county need money bad to get new equipment and all that fun stuff and in PE well they just dont teach it the right way I mean im in PE every other day for an hour and a half and probally 20-30 minutes of that is wasted on getting changed, warm-ups and attendance and that leaves about 50 minutes in class to do whatever were planning on doing and usually its something stupid and not true exerciseliquix wrote:
FOOD and our school+lifestyle system. American food is so chemically enhanced we might as well eat plastic disks with the word "food" stamped on them. Our culture is GO GO GO! so many people just work, sleep, work, sleep, etc. Also, our schools are so cut-throat about funding that P.E. and sports take a back seat to Math, Science, and English. Perhaps if no child left behind actually helped we would not raise our children on French fries in the cafeteria, and 5 push-ups once a week in gym class.
but usually i get up at 6, take a shower, get dressed, go to school, be bored from 7:25-2:05 and come home and some days ill go out and do something and other days ill sleep and other days ill just sit around playing BF2 and Xbox games all day i probally drink too much soda, eat too much frozen food, not get enough exercise etc etc but i probally woulda played football this fall if it wasnt for my crap work ethic when it comes to homework and me failing algebra I and i dont even think i can play a sport until the spring because its like you have to have grades above a 2.0 GPA for 2 quarters before they let you do any sport(which i think is a stupid rule)and even then id probally need to work on getting in shape now depending on what sport i play/do (baseball, lacrosse,track, or soccer) but yea... if i dont stop now ill just keep on going and going
oh and if you want anymore info theres a wikipedia page on my school http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westfield_ … irginia%29
well being 15 and 5'10" and 135lbs (30 inch waist) i can say that obviously im not fat if anything i think i could gain 10-15 pounds and feel a little better than i do but ill be honest i eat all the crap i want but i havent gained any weight at all i mean i might play football 1-3 times a week and in the winter i just kinda stay inside and do nothing all winter and then next spring i usually play baseball and other sports but i havent done that in years but i think america is fat because people (like me) are skinny up until they're like 25-30 and their metabolism slows down but they dont start exercising or eating better
oh and to the person who said they cant find pants then your obviously not looking in the right place and get bigger pants and wear a belt.

weve got the oil off the coast of Cali and in the gulf of mexico its just the environmentalists screaming bloody murder about how if we drill for the oil we'll scar the world forever.... yet if we did that there goes most of the middle eastern money right thereMajor_Spittle wrote:

Well here's the news, A thousand bucks is a thousand bucks and will only help someone as much as a thousand bucks can:(
US would be in much better shape if we kept only enough military to protect our own borders (not many countries would try to invade us all the way over here) and let Europe take care of its self for awhile. Hell, it seems most country's in Europe want us out and I'm all for it. US needs to develop its own power sources and pay more attention to its own hemisphere.
We need to return to the pre WW2 philosophy, except this time if we have to go somewhere else in the world to defeat an Evil empire we should keep the spoils of war for ourselves and our allies. ie last time Nazis took all of Europe, US and Britian took Europe back from Nazis...... Europe could have been divided between US/Britain (well primarily, there were other countries). Gee, lookes like USSR kept part of Germany and eastern Europe and I never heard a peep from most Eastern European Countries about it being unjust. Soooo, what the hell, if there is a next time.
there is no reason to Kill a fetus unless it is a major health risk to the mother. other then that my view is "If your too stupid to use a condom or birth control then your too stupid to have an abortion" Pro-Life is my stance.
but i would say im the type of typical Southern beer-drinking NASCAR watching American that the rest of the world seems to call "Racist Asshole Hick"(ive been called this once) or "Typical American" im one of those people who think gay people need to be shipped to the south pole and dumped out of a plane with no parachute. im also one of those people who think if your not with us your against us... unless your Canada theyre just cool people

America:
As has been pointed out before, we have the worst voting record of prettty much any democratic nation. if we get 60% of people to vote in elecitons, it is great. kinda sad. we have way too many nukes and our president may have balls to attack other countries, but personally i cannot wait till 2008 when John McCaine becomes president. We give almost the least foriegn aid per capita (Norway is number one, or 2 or something) but we have the best trained pilots and most tecniogially advanced army in the world. our public school system is shit, which is why im at a prep school. college is becomeing way too expensive (the one im off to is 43,000 per year) as is gasoline. nearly 3.00, though it doesnt compare to Norway...speaking of Norway, I have lots of fmaily there, cousins and such, and was just there this summer. everyhting Varegg said is true. Norway is fucking awesome, the women are hot, the land is beautiful, and the country is ricjh and Oslo is a sweet city. Would love to go back and Ski Hemsedal someday. But back to America....uhh well I do like lving here, it is a nice country to live in and we havea good quilty of life. But there are a lot of problems here that hopefully my generation will strat fixing.
back to america..... HAH i can say i live in the 2nd highest income per person county in the whole country according to Wiki

1. We love our SUVs that get 10 miles to the gallon
2. The rest of the world needs to STFU and let us do our thing
3. Immigrants. if you arent legal, get out. sure we may not have any more people to work at McDonalds or Taco Bell but who cares... we dont need 50 million of them around anywas
4. Liberals. Stfu and stop bashing Bush just cause it seems to be the 'hip' thing to do.
5. If your arent gonna contribute to the country then dont come here. and if your in the country and are like always stoned on weed and are like... "woah man war is bad" then get out i dont want stinky hippies ruining my country. I'd rather have smog then pot smoke
6. Football. played with the hands not the feet.
7. Like that quote from Bill Clinton "There is nothing patriotic about hating your country, or pretending that you can love your country but despise your government. There is nothing heroic about turning your back on America, or ignoring your own responsibilities.” so yea.... if all your gonna do is bash the government and not do anything about it go STFU and have your little 'republican-hating clubs' and smoke your weed.
