Greece: Fuck Yeah

[kongurous]

Whoo for fat people.

[Giggilyomeromicon]

When did America start being part of the EU?

[Kazeofwinds]

America has been dethroned in its fatassness.

Eat, everyone, eat. We must reclaim our proud title of gluttony.

[Ubergopher]

I don't know, but the BMI scale is fucked up IMO and doesn't say much.

Stop raining on my parade, you bastard.

[Ubergopher]

Too bad. I'll rain on whatever parade I damned well please.

[Magmaniac]

mmmmmmmmm Malta

[hammocksleeper]

"My big fat greek wedding," anyone? Funny you should post this, since I'll be in Greece a week from Tuesday. I'll be sure to take some photos to share with Warboards. :)

Find fat people. Shouldn't be hard.

[Battlecruiser]

Nice. I can't wait to use this on all the yank-bashers even though BMI determines diddly squat.

[TheListener]

I thought the Greeks were supposed to be stereotyped as gorgeous adonises?..

[Ubergopher]

Well you know what they say about stereotypes. If you actually think they fit the majority you are a fucking idiot and should not be allowed to reproduce.

[ScottieIWU]

Seriously, am I the only one that sees it?

[Ragnarox]

QFT.

Seriously, am I the only one that sees it?

Well, I'm hoping it was a joke, but now that I think of it...

[Zenox]

Adonis was Phoenician not Greek Mr.History wizz.

[ScottieIWU]

Adonis was Phoenician not Greek Mr.History wizz.I believe the point is that Adonis, in common usage, refers to someone who is very attractive.

Also, he is a part of Greek mythology. Way to try to show off, noob.

[Zenox]

But where did he originate bitch?

[TheListener]

Relax guys. Don't attempt to flex your intellectual muscles in a thread that has 'Fuck Yeah' in the title.

Anyway, I don't know much about Greece at all as a culture aside from it's Ancient history and therefore was surprised that obesity was such a large problem, especially given the fact that so many people are abusing the US for it's health problem when it ranks 8th among men.

Of course I don't believe stereotypes, I used that concept the reinforce the above.

[Darmago]

Can't seem to find this graph anywhere on the International obesity task force's website...

[TheListener]

QTF.

I actually sort of question the legitimacy of this table. Where did you get it from? Like I've said before, I was really quite surprised at the figures, never heard of these numbers before :/

[U-238]

I thought the Greeks were supposed to be stereotyped as gorgeous adonises?..

That'd be the French.

[IrishDutchman]

the fattest country in the world is some pacific island, IIRC. Seriously like 90% of the people there are obese. Will return soon with more info after googling. :)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/1681297.stm

There we go. Well, maybe not 90%, but still way up there.

[TheListener]

^It's of cultural significance though. Being fat is proof of being able to afford to be so. If you've got lot's of cattle and you're a skinny guy, do you think they girl you're courting is going to believe you? NOPE! You've got to be FAT!

[Thedutchjelle]

Just let the fat people eat themself to dead, problem solved.

Seriously though, i always wondered why people eat that much if they're not really hungry.. and don't come with that 'they needz to move more!' crap, i hardly move after school and i'm not fat at all.

[Ubergopher]

Seriously though, i always wondered why people eat that much if they're not really hungry.. and don't come with that 'they needz to move more!
dutch, do you know anything about fitness, metabolism, the BMI index, or even a basic understanding of psychology? There is this thing called metabolism and everyone's works a bit different. I am slightly overweight, but I can guarantee that I am in better shape than you are, because I work out almost daily, but my metabolism isn't that fast, which means I don't burn as many calories when I'm resting as you do. So to make up for that I need to run/lift a lot, so do other people, sorry we aren't perfect like you.
As for eating "when they aren't hungry" how do you know that, do you monitor their eating habits compared to how hungry they feel? Well then if you do, congrats big brother.

i hardly move after school and i'm not fat at all.
Well congrats. I'd suggest changing that, otherwise when you get older you'll become the fat ass you complain about now because your metabolism has slown down.

[Thedutchjelle]

Uh, chill down. I feel like i'm posting in the IR here >_>'

Ye, thanks. It wasn't easy to achieve though.

Just don't eat much, and dunno. I never liked sports.

[TheListener]

Okay. So there statistics are absolute bull.

[EvilEmpire]

Damn, dunno about Greece but, hell, thats true for Germany being up there :o



It can't be true though, USA is first in everything, right?

[Ubergopher]

It can't be true though, USA is first in everything, right?
Nope, we're just better than everyone else though.

[Ender]

I've been to Greece... it's soo true. Nicest people in the world over there though, seriously. The food is amazing too, no wonder they're so damn fat.

[kongurous]

I don't know what's more surprising: people taking a thread made by me seriously, or serious discussion in a non-serious thread period.

[hammocksleeper]

Where in Greece have you been? I'll be visiting Santorini, Athens, Navplion, and Corfu. Any recommendations?

[Ubergopher]

or serious discussion in a non-serious thread period.
Eh, what can I say this thread had one of my pet peeves. Dipshits thinking they know something about fitness, when really they know even less about fitness than they do about fornicating.

[GenocideAlive]

That'd be the French.
Gorgeous Adonises? French? I thought they were just pansies.

[Dusty]

Gorgeous Adonises? French? I thought they were just pansies.

THERE BOTH!

Now I can rub this in Lavacroft's fat Euro face over trem!!! WERE NOT AS FAT AS YOU!

[SHISHKABOB]

Heh, well you know it is a percent. Even though they may have a higher percent of fat people. We may still have more in general, just not as high a percent.


OH MY GODS, ONE THOUSANDTH POST LOLOLOLOL

[Ubergopher]

Woohoo, congrats.

[Thedutchjelle]

Congrats, i guess.:P

Great work saying just about the most uninformed crap I've ever heard.

@Shish: Good work. Here's your prize money! :2cents:

[IrishDutchman]

The stereotypical 'pretty men' are Italian. The ancestors of Guidos. :P

[Thedutchjelle]

The stereotypical 'pretty men' are Dutch. :P

Fixed :P

[TheListener]

The Dutch are far too tall to be pretty.
The prettiest are probably Warboardians.

[Dusty]

NO! Have you not seen us yet? Shield your eyes!

[Thedutchjelle]

The Dutch are far too tall to be pretty.

Thx :(

When did I resign...?


Thx :(

I was joking. Sorry. :( indeed

[Basan]

Seeing is 'believing' (http://www.warboards.org/showpost.php?p=461275&postcount=8). :rolleyes:

[Zeltaris]

Basan, i'm noticing a trend here...

NOBODY ever catches your subtle hints. Be more blunt, we humans (and listener too, since he never quite got around to signing his resignation) are 2 st00pid :(

:P

[TheListener]

Honestly, Basan is so strange. I love him.

Yes we do, its also called proper English. :P
Mirrors broke as soon as TheListener looked into them, because he was very, very "pretty". (Basan, if thats not the meaning, please don't steal my thunder right now)

Yep, one person out of 300 million automatically makes everyone in America fat.

Aiming to please. I 'wuv' ya too... :P (In that osmotic way transmitted between staffers. :rolleyes:)

Right on, brotha'. I just slopped that English to smithereens, no? ;)

[hammocksleeper]

no, but 201 million does, according to your own statistics :)

[kongurous]

You seem to be taking me seriously. We've been through this before. Taking kong seriously is a no-no.
