Nothing beats the cardboard taste of a good macdee's

i'm guessing you're trying to imply that mcdonalds sucks ass and that's it's only an american thing?

Close, more like trying to imply that the French is renowned for their good food and wine. Some would argue that food and wine making is the only good thing the French can do. USA on the other hand... well we know they have Mcd's and KFC and thats about it. :(

Wow man, either you're really that retarded, or you're just trying to get a rise out of someone.

lol whut?

you do know that 3/4+ of mcdonalds stores are outside the USA right? and there is nothing wrong with some good ole KFC every once and a while. pretty pathetic how you try to imply that americans just eat mcdonalds. and even if all we ate was mcdonalds, why the hell would you give a shit? and why the hell would we care if you gave a shit or not?

Not what I am trying to say at all. I am saying that the French have some of the best if not the best cuisine in the western world, and they make the worlds best wines. If there is one single thing you can't fault the French on, it's their food.

yes africa and India put up their own mcdonald's. The US has nothing to do with that.

nice interview, rapha's honest, hope he does well in qcon and eswc finals.

no hamburgers in france ?

he cannot find mcdonalds:/

No, just delicious frogs

fucking GROSS

ribbid

yummy

USA just makes them better ;)

Ich sekretem jest ciasto.

never seen pulp fiction? ROYALE WITH CHEESE MAN

sorry man I got sleepy after 15 mins, dunno why but this movie was so boring for me and i doubt that i will give it a second chance ;)

ps: yeah i know that for most people this is an extraordinary movie

it's a decent film. good to watch a couple of times when you're in the mood for lotsa random bs.

Quater pounder with cheese

nutrition information

Yeah, and no car, no phone, no computer etc.

I guess he got a reality check and gained some humility while in France.

he probably realised that he was right about the amount of steps, just not in what direction.

McDonalds in the USA are 5 steps ahead of the French ones.

McDonalds everywhere are 10 billion steps behind any other fat factory

please refrain from calling them a restaurant, thx

My mistake

why?

restaurants serve food...

mmmmmmm

"I am so glad to be back where I could eat some really good food"

rofl.

Like Freedom Fries.

ahahah :)

That's not funny.

it was funny. why it wasnt o_O ?

saw cheese coming out of aerosols in the us

scary thing tbh

MMMORE GREASE

MMM

'I am so glad to be back where I could eat some really good food'

That's something only a Cylon agent would say!

rapha clearly eats at mcdonalds! just look at him!

rofl. What a bunch of ignorant sons of bitches. Just because he doesn't like french food means he only eats fast food here at home?

You fucking idiots need a reality check. Maybe he likes home cooking. Even if he does eat mcdonalds so fucking what? It's a life choice he makes.

anyways the kid could probably use some food he is like 10 ounces soak and wet.

Would you like fries with that rant?

raged american






epic!

i bet you're fat.

hmm My picture is in my profile. Just click mah name nigga.

I'm not fat. I'm not a skinnyfat typical euro who things they are like epically in shape neither. Being skinny doesn't = good health either.


No, I wouldn't want fries with that. You confuse me with someone else. Not all americans actually eat fast food. Ignorant piece of trash.


It's like foreigners have nothing better to do but judge every other country in the world. Stupid pieces of shit. Love how, in the whole interview all you dumb fucks caught was how he didn't prefer french food and automatically assume mcdonalds. LMAO.

It's like, why didn't we just let hitler take over all of europe and then just nuke yas to hell instead of the japanese. Ya never see them whining about what other countries eat or something.


hehe.


fucking fucks drinking the fucking hatorade. Keep on hatin, cuz i'll keep on baitin.

3 mcdonalds jokes make u mention hitler? gaha why so defensive fatass?

yeah dude, didn't you know there's only two types of people in this world? fat and skinny. if that's not the only thing you base all your opinions on, you must be an ignorant idiot!

It's like foreigners have nothing better to do but judge every other country in the world. Stupid pieces of shit.

you are aware that you have made a mistake there?
foreigners to where? ESR? are europeans foreigners to europe? apparantly these foreigners are stupid too. well done mate.

or we could interpret this another way...
maybe u have some hangups about foreigners in america being smarter then you so u attack their intelligence.


seems pretty lose-lose to me

well obviously people can't comprehend. I said foreigners meaning euros who comment on American eating habits as if we all eat fast food. One comments in an entire interview is taking as if the guy/americans only eat mcdonalds and shit. stfu.


Love euros always starting shit but can't hang with the big boys when it comes time to play. cu in ww3 mother fuckers.

You keep talking about 'euros', but you do know Europe is made with totally different countries, right?
So you know that by referring to totally different people by simply saying 'euros', you kind of nullify all your beautiful statement about 'evil judging foreigners'.
I'm not 'euro', I'm french, and so goes for all other 'Europe' inhabitants.
Oh and by the way, of course there must be some American eating 'good food', but the majority is just eating trash food, and I think you can't deny it, that's why people joke about what Rapha said I guess.
We 'euros' surely have plenty of stereotypes about USA, but I don't think reaching the godwin point will help us realize it.

"Oh and by the way, of course there must be some American eating 'good food', but the majority is just eating trash food, and I think you can't deny it, that's why people joke about what Rapha said I guess."

Give me a break. The majority of Americans don't eat McDonald's three times daily, they eat normal fucking food. Just like anywhere else.

Yeah, that's certainly a stereotype we must have in France, since we see a lot of documentary about it.
But Americans (and brit, by the way), seem to eat a lot more in there than french I'd say, though I'm pretty sure it's growing in there too.
I won't blame you anyway, I kinda love fast foods :)

Searching for "american eating habits" on google shows quite the contrary on every results and studies.

you're a fucking euro. Your little twat countries make up europe. Like each state in America is different but we are still all the "same" Americans right?

It's funny when it comes to something about euro>america you're a euro but now when you want to make some retarded point, you're all different countries.

My retarded point being that europe is made up with different countries?
I think your analogy between USA and Europe is totally pointless and ridiculous, but well, I'm starting to feel like your doing that on purpose.

it's not pointless actually. All your countries make up europe. All our states make up America. Imagine if USA decided to make 50 little countries.


lols.

Since this is an international site I will refer to you guys as euros, because I'm not gonna be specific to each country in europe. As. you wouldn't be specific to each state. What you dumb fuk euros wouldn't understand is how each state is pretty different. We all are americans and speak english but it doesn't make we don't have different tastes and eat an assortment of foods.

So, until you start referring to us in specific states, then fuk you euro. You're all the same.

I want bf pics from each euro here. Then a daily meal plan layout of the last week that you've eaten. We will see what you trolls think how you are so much healthier in your meals. Then I will post mine and rape your faces and make as if mine represents all of my country and then act like one your worst represents europe. Hows that? Thats your ass backward thinking all over the internet.

haHA LOL!@!@
!@

I think, since apparently you need some explanations, that the main difference between USA states and Europe countries, is that you're led by the same government and you obey the same constitution, which is not the case of Europe countries.
Actually, I'm slightly amazed that I have to explain that, but well, you decided to play the dumb guy.

I get that. But you're asking for americans to refer to specific countries in europe. that's an absurd thing to even begin to ask. The fact is you're pulling a typical euro move and changing the subject. The topic is you're saying each euro country is different with different tastes and such things. So is each american state. So if you want us to refer to an individual country then refer to each individual state ty.

Yeah right.
Then please refer to every different region of every different countries.
Then we'll talk about the cities only.

aww poor baby you finally realize how absurd it would be to be specific to each euro country. Now all you can do is troll. You couldn't be even be specific to each region in each state and then each county and then each home. Noone can anywhere. So, stfu and move along young one.

Astonishing how you're really not able to grasp the difference.

you're exactly the person we, the europeans, refer to as a "stupid american".
















LOLZ

pls nigga euros referred to czm as stupid too huh?

i wouldn't go so far and call a MIT graduate stupid.
let's wait until you finished highschool, re-read these posts of yours and change your mind.
but i guess you'll be too busy flipping burgers at McD's.

owned. you can't think of anything else and add a personal attack. You know what they say personal attacks come from the dumb. Look what you just did. What YOU just posted is dumb.

http://www.topcoder.com/stat?c=school_avg_rating

mit sucks ;]

I don't even know what that list is for? 4chan viewers?

learn2read. topcoder, biggest programming contest page.

Coding in Algorithms?

So how does that translate to Czm getting his PhD in mathematics. I can see how algorithms is math and statistics intensive, but does Czm focus on algorithms? Furthermore, is MIT's core cirriculum or presitge based on algorithm coding?

Secondly, does this contest have cash prizes? If so, how much? If not, why expect a university to commit students (and resources) to this contest so that their ratings on this webpage would be high?

Does this website take into account the quality and quantity of the staff at each university? Does it show where the professors background is? How much practical working experience the professors have or whether it is entirely academic? Furthermore, how many papers they have published? How many of which are acclaimed or award-winning papers?

Also, does this website show what resources are available to students? For instance, health care, on-campus living accomodations, computer labs, full-access libraries and databases, and leisure activity areas as well as athletic and fitness facilities?

If so, how do these correspond to the rank?

In conclusion, do you think this website accurately ranks MIT?

EDIT: nvm.

I noticed you use it too! LOL!

yeah? ur the typical internet troll with only your typical ammunition of "you fat american, you're stupid. blah blah"

So, what intelligent conversation do you want to have on a gaming website?

i don't think it's possible to have an intellectual conversation with you, sry.

ahh conceded. well you had a good run. nice try. pls for next time when you call someone dumb and they ask what you want to have an intelligent conversation about something interesting, don't back down. Makes you seem like a troll and maybe even afraid to talk seriously for a minute.

go mash potato.

please elaborate the differences between the U.S.A. and the EU in one sentence in terms of political systems and such.
i'll help you fix your post once you're done surfing wiki.

euros = gay americans = superior.

but nice grab off of google.com

Well done, stunt. you nearly had me believing you could come up with something.

l8rz, mate.

belief is a start. With beliefs people can accomplish a lot. Look what hitler had the germans believing.

You're so full of failure, it makes baby jesus cry.

is that what your mother told you?

Europeans = "gay americans" which means they're superior?

Actually, I got your point.
The only thing is that for me, and for a lot more people, you simply can refer to 'euro' for such things as food, tastes, mentality and so on, whereas you can refer to 'USA inhabitants' for such things.
That's just my point.

no you can't idiot. Thats why you're dumb. Stop trying to lump americans into one boat.

You're the typical ignorant euro to america. Think watching your news channels and shit and you know america. STFU

You're telling me that USA can't be refered to as a whole for such things as tastes and food?
I might be true for some things, but as far as I know, your culture is the same in all your states.
Your watching the same tv channels, have (and voted for) the same president, speak the same language.
If you still don't see any difference, I stop there anyway.

I shouldn't even bother reading comments on ESR, but WOW.

I might be true for some things, but as far as I know, your culture is the same in all your states.
Your watching the same tv channels, have (and voted for) the same president, speak the same language.


Isn't there any educational institution in France that offers some type of "American Culture" class? You should seriously look into it. What Stunt is getting at is that each of our states is as large if not bigger than some countries in Europe. Similar to European countries, each country sized state in US has a unique spin on our culture. Yes we all have the same constitution, but each individual state creates its own laws for a shit load of other things. So from state to state laws can be very different. Also we have no national language like most of you guys do. Most of us speak English, sure, but certainly not all of us. Also I can travel 5 hours west and people start using different words for things, and they have different accents. Plus there's a huge group of people who think they won the Civil War and still fly the confederate flag.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. I'm not saying this country is good. I think most of the people who live here are fucking morons who actually believe learning less in school is "cool", and they watch MTV for their fashion tips which no one should care about anyways. But either way, this country is fucking huge, and from east to west, you'll find some crazy shit here.

Yeah, I got your point.
I'm surely wrong on what I image USA is, but I'm pretty sure the difference between 2 states in the USA isn't as big as the differences you can have between 2 European countries. I really can't see how it couldn't be like that.

Anyway, I'm curious about your part on the language. You're basically saying that some USA citizen aren't talking english?

actually no there are many languages spoken in usa like other places.

english, spanish, chinese, french. yiddish,polish,,,etc basically there are parts in america for each.

*Ok*
Of course, also in France many other languages are spoken, but it doesn't change the fact that every french citizen are talking french.
You can't say US citizen are talking different languages because of immigrants or foreign students/workers.
There actually are some countries which have different official languages, such as Belgium or swiss (though they often actually have only one official language I think).

america is the home of immigrants you dumb fuck.


We all don't speak english. You could say the native language is native american.

Not to mention like judge said the english in each state has it's own spin on things.

Yeah. During the summers I help out in a Factory, and I'd say 1/3 of the people there can speak English. The other 2/3 speak something else, and can barely understand English. Most of them speak Spanish or a language from Asia. They know basic words, but if you'd try to hold a conversation with them in English they wouldn't understand.

No difference to Germany then.

say "ni hao ma?"
theyll love you for it

nice post. euros dont understand this fact though and think we are all the same and then get mad and call some americans ignorant and shit when we say the same to them. LOL

lol yeah the difference between france and serbia is about the same as california and wyoming

The comment on the languages is a bit naive if you ask me.

You're arguing about something that is found in every country in the world, little populations of immigrants et cetera that live within the greater first language (English in the case of the USA or UK for example) speaking community.

If the states are comparable to European countries then you should be able to give examples of states which don't speak English as their first language on a state level or states with entire regions where a different language is spoke.

Different regions of Switzerland, Belgium or the UK speak different first languages. France and Spain have a different first language.

Language is only the most obvious difference between countries in Europe and the differences go a lot deeper. The change from California to Maine would be relatively small in comparison to Portugal and Russia.

I don't see why people are complaining about being called "Euros" though, it's fairly obvious that on the subject of the USA Europeans share the same attitude.

umm. food was the fucking subject matter of the whole topic, now you're going off into other shit.

And yes, culturally there are many differences between states.

Yeah, just to back up stunts a bit. I don't really think he should be getting up in arms about the topic, but it really is very true the point he makes. There's a very unrealistic stigma associated with America. It just simply isn't true.

I'm not going to give you a long-winded explanation of why the "lazy, white fat hamburger eating american" is not a norm here in the US. Those people do exist, but they are far from the norm. The United States is an absolute melting pot of ethnicities, nationalities, social groups, and backgrounds...

Right now, as I'm typing this at my work and I have these people working next to me:

-a 50 year old white baptist lady who is my operations manager
-a 24 year old half-korean girl who is a practicing non-denominational christian, and getting her masters in social work while working as a bank teller
-a 27 year old white atheist ex-college baseball star, as an small business banker rep
-a 32 year old half-black father of 3 working as a mortgage originator
-a 33 year old black british lady born on the island of St. Lucia working as a loan officer who is a Jehovah's Witness

If that's not a melting pot of people working together, I don't know what is. None of the people I listed above are overweight. In fact, I'd say they are very fit, especially the younger ones.

And this is just within ear shot. I could talk about my night classes at my university and list the people I work next to there and it would be even more varied. People from all around the world, India, Korea, Russia, Poland, Germany, China, New Zealand, Argentina, Panama, etc. etc. -- All these nationalities I have known through friends at college.

ahahah, you're a fucking idiot. go and lose some weight, fat ass.

says the guy named after mashed potatoes. Ya looks whos talking mr.carbs to the max fat boy mash.

you're a fucking euro. Your little twat countries make up europe. Like each state in America is different but we are still all the "same" Americans right?

I guess Canadians like being called American too? After all, thats just the same as another set of states in America, no?

all i read was

blablablah blah blablah euro>america blahblahblah blabla blaaaah bla blablahabla

keep me entertained, raging amerifag

ROFL,you are so funny "fucking euros bla bla bla.."
30-40 % of Americans are descendant of euro people,yeh americans has their own typical food and culture but you still are in any way euro people.

It isnt so smart to call "euros" (retards and other shit).

You can agree the history and the truth,but i guess your patriotism will not allow it.

there's gotta be a reason why you have about 20-50 different fast food restaurants in the u.s. and in europe you only see 5 different.

maybe because americans live "on the go" lifestyles and then the fastfood prices were cheap so the poor kept eating them and then it rolled onto the others and they ate it too often.

honestly post your meal plans for the last week and next week. All drinks and foods. Let's see yours. And how healthy it is. Let's see all the sodas and chips and dip you eat. SKINNY BONES UNHEALTHY EUROS.

i actually don't eat any chips and dips, at all.

i actually don't eat fastfood at all.stfu

i was at no point adressing you directly you troll, yet you asked me a question.

stop fucking trollin me then idiot. Following me around each thread and spammin my replies like you think you're the most knowledgable person in the history of the world on topics.

And that's exactly what people are saying.

I think you JUST CANNOT DENY the fact that this "on the go" lifestyle combined with UNHEALTHY fast food with plenty of saturated fats and what not - combined with lack of exercise - just is so very present in the USA. Many people in the US just are overweight and obese and while it's not a unique characteristic to the USA, it still is a prime example.

Every country has to carry a burden. I still have to deal with Nazi shit for "no reason", you are gonna have to live with the fact that the "American on the go" lifestyle has created those two fat fucks next to you on the bus(hey, maybe you don't ride the bus. use your imagination.)

And we both have to take the fall for it.

So get that sand out of your vagina, you raging pussy.

who's thread are you trying to reply to?

stunt made his point pretty damn clear. by foreigners, he meant everyone from countries foreign to his own, aka people from every country but the USA. if you didn't catch that from reading his post, you are stupid.

yeah exactly. nice work

"It's like, why didn't we just let hitler take over all of europe and then just nuke yas to hell instead of the japanese."

:))))))))) Very nice rage. Typical american shot first ask later mentality.

rofl.

Like a typical euro who instigates something, then when attacked back they back away and act like the person they instigated is the one in the wrong when they in fact started, but can't handle the pressure of actually putting up a good fight.

Win by default due to Godwin's law. Not quite sure what was won, but that hardly matters.

The only authentic American foods pople know about is stuffed turkey, donuts and fast food. Rest is stolen. Deal with it.

a dick, black and american, sometimes i think god is a fkn masochist..

amen, I love grilling :D. And why does good food translate to mcdonalds for most people :o. it's ok but I'd rather have something else when it comes to 'good' food :P

ya apparently when an american says "good food" it's automatically fast food. ROFL.


Kind of pathetic..


:D

SOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo what did you guys think of the interview? :P

nice work good job.


maybe a few more questions. :D Seemed short =p


keep them coming.

too tame. too diplomatic.

:\

fast is good
even if that's not what women think

McDonalds is the most disgusting piece of shit trash I've ever eaten. That goes for all fast food. The only people who eat McDonalds (on a regular basis, obviously many people eat it occasionally) are poor, or are idiots.

Frankly i like the mcdonalds franchise in Portugal tho i prefer pands and company, its not like i dont know what a good meal is because id say we have one of the best food in europe :P

Some like some others dont.

Also an American here, I have ate fast food about twice in the past 3 years. It's toxic waste, really terrible quality too. Anyone that likes it is dead to the concept of real food.

Apparently, Mcdonalds is far more toxic in USA than in France.
It has a terrible reputation here too, but all in all it's not such bad food.
I've heard some really bad things about US mcdonalds, such as steak made with both meat and crap, and stuff like that.

chicken mcnuggets motherfucker!!!!!!!

where did you eat ?

Wow, that's the second on the list. (and to some extend it is identical with the first. weeee)

When thinking of other countries there are so many things I could come up with that are unique to that country in terms of food. The only things I can come up with for the USA are fast food and bbq and these aren't even unique. You guys gotta work on your image if you want to be associated with anything different.

they probably do have steaks in france, you know...

not sure on this one tho.

they do and I preferred them to the ones I had in America. But could be coincidence.
Anyway once in my life want to try a kobe steak. Heard they are unbeatable...

i was kidding:)

was't sure, but wanted to elaborate on that topic anyway. ;)

no you're right, he also missed his twinkies probably

"Just because he doesn't like french food means he only eats fast food here at home?"

No. But saying you can eat good food in America and not in France is stupid. People are mentioning McDonald's because that's the type of food America is known for, not because they actually believe rapha goes to a fast food for every single meal you fking moron.

he didn't say that either. you took too much out of the statement. Apparently the food he had in france wasn't gellin with his taste buds. He never said it wasn't a possibility there could not be food he would like.

wrong, "French food" is clearly a generalisation.

If you say "Pizza is bleh" is doesn't read as "I didn't like this anchovie pizza I tried once"

no.. he said french food because he was in france and maybe didn't like what he had.

you were in america and said you didnt like american food.

uhh, where did I say that??? I said prefer I European variety and German bread ;)

and yes he said "French food" and that is a ignorant generalisation, cause they do have more than one dish (or maybe even three)...

maybe he ate at different places. LoL


And so what if he said french food. What he ate was french food was it not? So, by declaring he didn't like the meal he had which was french food, would it not be correct in what he said?

it would be correct, if he said something like "my French food" or "the French food I tried".

yes because he would think of that in a little interview huh? Maybe he was in a rush or had other things on his mind or was nervous about it, because nineX can be very scary sometimes.

'its his life choice'


cant believe you actually used that line, i think ive heard Cartman use it in Southpark before...

American bitching about french food? Fucking priceless :)

youreapeon

1st comment not about french food:
nice interview! hope you do better at the eswc finals!

i just had some delicious fried plantains, rice mixed with beans, some broiled beef and salad. yummm, can't complain about food in miami. nicaraguan food ftw <3

I demand a followup interview only about his food interests, likes/dislikes, etc!

Denied. Plus, Shane is like a twig. If he's ever touched McDonald's, I'd be surprised.

xD

french food is exquisite!!!! he probably just ate at crap places while he was there.

Hes just jalous that our food is better than his :)

the whole thread is about food, but no one gives a shit about rapha

should we ?

French food is pretty alright but they seem to think 500 calories worth of food is a decent dinner.

Fuck that.

I agree, when I was in Quebec City CA, we had to go out to eat 4 times a day to stay fed. I was a skinny kid then, I'm 40 pounds more muscular now I could never stay fed eating meals the size the french make them. 800-1000 calorie meals or bust. Plus snacking.

Errr... Quebec isn't France.
The same goes for the good, Quebec is by far closer to US food wise.

Which pretty much proves a point...


Edit: lol @ 40 pounts more muscular..

actually, when you go out to eat with french people, they usually stuff you.
you sometimes have to be carefull not to eat too much, because there's usually more, and if you eat up a whole plate, they'll fill it again right away.

French food is not just the "nouvelle cuisine", you know.

Oh I'm aware. Everything they have in restaurants is portioned for 12-year olds from my perspective, regardless of the style of restaurant. I guess that's why all the French are so small.

???

Did you maybe just order one course instead of a menu?

Cause I never left a restaurant in France hungry in fact I was always stuffed.
i was however still hungry after a Souvelle Cuisine menu in Denmark. (But only took 3 courses out of five because of the price!)

i love that americans have a reputation for being ignorant and uncultured when a bunch of europeans in this thread are treating 3.5 million square miles as though it is all culturally identical

pretty pathetic huh? welcome to esr, home of the ignorant know it all euro's...

i also find it funny how most americans treat "europe" as though its culturally identical, while being referred to as if it were a country, rather then a continent.

this argument doesn't make sense. am i wrong in referring to (most of) the people shit talking american food in this thread 'europeans'? no, i'm not. they are residents of the continent of europe.

i'm not talking about europe as a cultural unit, i'm talking about these particular europeans making broad generalizations.

idiot euros do it to america as if feel back to you? Don't like it huh?

euros do it all day here to americans. Deal with it. And also we arent americans pls refer to us in the specific states we live in ty. You're asking us to refer to you in your specific tiny countries, so you better refer to us in specific states. As we all are different.

American states can't be culturally identical. You'd need a culture for that.

another ignorant euro comment. Keeping being ignorant. This is why the world can't ever be one.

I bet you're one of those stupid futball fans who cause riots and shit.
Go eat another american product bitch.

No, I'm a rugby fan, you know, the manly version of American 'football'. That game where only one guy actually kicks per team. Nice naming skills, Fat Hamburger! Why would I eat an American product bitch?

rugby is cool. but it's still pussified. you don't really have the big flying hits. maybe some closelines. or some pussy tackles. Americans wear pads in their game because if they didn't injuries would be so outstanding there wouldn't be a player to play. because american black athletes are so superior to any white athlete euros are producing.

But i must thank euros for bringing the slaves to america back in the day. ?

I garuntee you eat or use an american product everyday.

yes, wearing body armour makes the sport so much more manly.

fuck is body armour?

you ever been in those pads? You obviously don't realize or have a clue. I played rugby and football with black athletes. Rugby hits although sometimes crushing aren't as bad.

Both sports are at the limit of what human bodies can take, rugby players spend as much time recovering from injuries and surgery as playing.

Johnny Wilkinson the best Quarterback-equivalent in rugby:
Due to a litany of injuries — variously, of the knee ligaments, arm, shoulder and kidney — he did not appear again for England after the World Cup until 1,169 days later in their opening game of the 2007 Six Nations Championship against Scotland on 3 February 2007.

I know we're having a fun pissing contest but I think both sports mess people up as much as the human body can take.

nope.


playing nuclear wars would be the best. kill earth.

"because american black athletes are so superior"

Yeah, Balco did a good job.

Of course I use American products but I don't think I eat any.

thats not why the world cant change.
its because:
youre trying to build nuke stations in europe to piss off russia
you have soldiers stationed in x-amount of countries, like japan where youre raping school girls to the community's annoyance
youre invading countries or youre threatening to invading countries


the only way itll change is if obama gets in and actually makes changes like hes been talking about over and over again like a broken record. either that or russia and or china fuck you over

"And also we aren't americans pls refer to us in the specific states we live in ty. You're asking us to refer to you in your specific tiny countries, so you better refer to us in specific states. As we all are different."

Does your specific state have a constitution? Does it have its own foreign policy? Does it have its own representation in for instance the UN?
People refer to the USA like they refer to China or Russia, in the same manner as you refer to them as being the baddies on our globe whilst they are just as large or larger and it wouldn't be that weird to refer to their own smaller regions in your logic.
The USA form a political and military entity, the European Union is far less powerfull in that optic and has no army that works in a similar manner. To the outside world, an American will introduce himself as an American, a citizen of a European country will introduce himself as French, Dutch, Belgian etc.
Basicly, you're pissed off because of the way your countrymen present themselves to the world.

actually no. You make a post out of context. The original guy said something about americans call people "euro's" online <-- which is key. Euro's yes you. Take shit out of context. We are online. There is no notification what country each euro is from. So, we aren't just going to guess, we will say "euro" But what he wanted was us to refer to them from each individual country which I already stated was absurd to do online as I can not guess from text what country you are from.

So, that is so absurd to do. that is why I asked for him to refer to us American's to our states from reading online text. Which is also really absurd to do. He couldn't just like anyone couldn't.

Now you are getting into real life, taking an internet absurdity into and comparing to a real life meeting. This on the other hand is easier to do in that context. In online games/forums with topics on hand you don't go up and shake hands share your country and the political backgrounds.

I really don't know what's so hard to consider here. Do you really not see the point here?

America is a continent
Europe is a continent

USA is a country
France is a country
Germany is a country
Russia is a country
...

Michigan is a state
Colorado is a state
California is a state
Bavaria is a state
Berlin is a state
Saxonia is a state
...

And now you're trying to say that we (as in the guys that not live in the country you call your homeland) are only allowed to make comparisons between European countries and states of the USA, because according to you regional differences don't exist in European countries. WOAH!

you obvious aren't a logical being.

Bayern, Hamburg, Friesland is allet gleich :D

Ja, die laufen überall in Trachten rum!!

Comments like those in this thread are targeting specific ppl like stunt.us. It is funny when they bring out their true self.

no they aren't you fruit cake. As I don't eat mcdonalds and have a healthier lifestyle then you. So, comments wouldn't even be close to being about me. I may be ignorant. But Im just being like a euro. What don't like it do you? this is exactly how you twats act online here. Ignorant and stupid.

Wait wait, are you implying that the world is full of dumbasses, regardless of nationality? Wow dude, that's a concept I can't wrap my head around...

you're a smart person and get it. Aren't you sick how euros say the shit about us, but then be ignorant and generalize in the same EXACT way that they think americans do..?

last times we all jumped on the "5 step ahead quote"

Do you think that maybe, just maybe it has almost nothing to do with our perception of his diet, but rather with trolling.

And you sir have been trolled, do you want fries with that? :)

pssh, the only fat ass in the interview is NineX :p

BTW, not even close to fat.

me in the middle.

Did you really feel the need to clarify this to me? Seeing how I was at the same event and met you.

Korey, I was just putting a pic out there so everyone can bask in the glory of me. <3 Sorry I can't make it this year sweety. You think you can be a big boy and go on a grown up trip all by yourself? But rly, you're coming to St. Louis for Warfactory. You are.

ohh pls just shave.

is that thump4 on the right?

yeah thats him :)

great interview ninex :D

gl @ the finals rapha, hope you have a good showing!

fkin fatty fat fat fatties

haha


blablabla USA blablabla french food is bleh blablablabla

hahahaha


hahahha
hahaha

hahahaha

anyone else wondering wtf this means?

understand now ?

got ya

According to the logic that McDonald's serves american food, shouldn't it be irish food? What kind of american name is McDonald anyway?

Define american name. Obama? :D

Osama

Oussama ?

That's just the french way of writing Osama :)

Mc is Scottish. O' is Irish. (mostly obviously)

Que the fried marsbars!

Mc is irish actually, Mac is scottish. at least i think thats right.

I think O', Mac and Mc (I think this is an English form of Mac?) were all used in Ireland before they got taken over to Scotland anyway so I guess technically they are all Irish names :P

I was making a slight "joke" about McDonalds being Scottish because they're all fat bastards!

i live in scotland, and i just got back from the USA for a holiday, and i can tell you, ive never seen people like i saw in the US in scotland, although, yes some people are pretty fat over here too. Some of the yanks have the funniest waddle ive ever seen...

Fat or not, this american food makes you guys arrogant and aggressive like hell.

Prove me wrong, but even rapha's face says "oh well, i'm 5 steps ahead anyway... you're no match for me, ha ha ha, better surrender now noob, ha ha ha"

"I think it was a driver issue with my logitech mouse to the quadcore"
> Why don't you all guys stop using useless mouse drivers?

"French food is bleh :o"
> Yeah right. I wonder where he's been eating there, but I'd say crappy fast food?

Thats just a stupid quote of him :)

I bet he wasnt trying normal french food but was seeking for cheap bagguets or whatever around the location and there is really only shitty fast food as I know it from my own experience.

If he wouldnt be too lazy(greedy), he could go to an good restaurant and get a nice food there. Probably even a BURGER.

To be fair, there are little things worse than the typical steak haché you get in france

And what about einen richtigen sauerbraten mit kartoffeln clossen?
German lessons rocks.

german food is ever worse than american. loads of saturated fats + shitloads of carbs = bad. but hell, it's tasty :D

polish food is on the other hand like "get cheapest shit in the world and make delicious meal out of that". like pierogi (dumplings... osmt) or bigos (cabbage... then english language fails when it comes to describe how its made)

Yeah, I've already eaten a polish pastry, which was full of a kind of cream. It was... odd.

i like "bigosh" (i think that's the name) tried that when i was visiting a friend of mine who's polish. it's like beef with sauerkraut + tomatosauce or something?! :> yummy!

Dunno how it translates, but in polish it sounds like "bee-gos" (gos like in gosu). No "sh" at the end, so no idea why would anyone translate it like that.

The word is frugal, or maybe cheap. Not greedy. There isn't a German word representing that, but perhaps there should be. To be greedy implies a moral wrong, to be frugal or cheap does not.

I like the word 'thrifty' more tbh. Also 'cheap' carries some negative connotations.

there isn't?

I don't see anything Russian in his play style to be honest.

just another american redneck...

I like how 1/5 being obese is good enough to color them green :D

Yeah, especially since this is about full blown obesity, not BMI-over-25-overweight.

There's alot of younger athletic men and gym rats who have BMI over 25 and do not share the health risks of overfat people.

I have a BMI of 27 and visible abs. Should I be counted in their statistics?

Obese is a better marker because most men are not going to reach that amount of lean mass without several years of hard work and good training. So that keeps it to a very small percentage of the population. Where as overweight muscular guys could be as high as 1-2% of men.

Further for people at the higher side of "healthy" BMI that do not lift weights, they're in my opinion still fat people. Whether that be a beer belly or skinny fat or whatever, 25 BMI doesn't look healthy on anyone without some muscle.

i wonder how they define "obese". if its weight its bullshit.

http://calorielab.com/news/2008/07/02/fattest-states-2008/

3 year BMI survey data

so its bullshit. bodyfat got nothing to do with weight.

So everyone is a roidragin bodybuilder now? Interesting.

Bodybuilding? Nah, it just doesn't work for some type of natural physics. I've got many friends who are "overweight", never been to gym and got very low bodyfat. And some really skinny guys got huge belly (huge bf) even tho being underweight.

I believe that statistics could have been even worse when bf% was measured tbh.

Actually, since this is a chart is concerned with "obesity" (BMI over 30) and not with "overweight" (BMI over 25) I think it's gonna be pretty accurate. A human being is very unlikely to have 30kg (just an example) "overweight" (in terms of the BMI) unless he/she is either:

VERY FAT
VERY BUILT
or has as you mentioned a natural physique that falls out of this category.

And I sincerely doubt that the majority of US citizens has such a "natural physique" that he falls out of the "general obesity category".

You just have to look around in the US and you can just see that a lot of people are just fat. Which of course doesn't mean you're doomed to die at 40. But endless statistics show that obesity increases certain health risks.

The fast food phenomena is just so very present in the US and the fact that the US is such a consumer and convenience driven society which somewhat advocates a "certain laziness" just results in a high percentage of "overweight" or "obese" people. It doesn't apply to everyone, but the trend is obvious:

Bad eating habbits + little to no exercise = "overweight".

Reread my post. I said if they had taken bodyfat percentage instead of bodymass index into consideration, statistics would have been even worse. Yet in statistical sense this chart is worth nothing, becouse its inaccurate.

Maybe read your own posts. You said body-fat percentage has nothing to do with weight. So if I weigh 200kg and most of my body mass is made of fat, then how is body-fat percentage not related to my weight?

Yeah, the chart WOULD BE even more inaccurate if one had taken body-fat percentage as indicator. But they didn't, so at least it's more accurate than that. And I don't see this chart being completely useless. Maybe it's inaccurate, but I believe it serves as a good rough overview.

When men start lifting weights and eating properly, they often undergo an improvement of body composition without changing their weight much. If a man's starting off overweight, then BMI fails to reflect his improvement in health.

The only point he's trying to make is bodyfat is what should be measured since BMI ignores the makeup of that mass.

The serious problem then is, calipers aren't accurate for obesely overfat people so there would be no easy way to get like an average bodyfat statistic for the country.

But all the map showed was % with BMI over 30. We're trying to say the statistic for people with an average skin fold thickness greater than 20, 22, 24 mm (whatever doctors decide) would be a much more accurate option, because you'd catch many fatties under BMI 30 and still leave alone all the weight lifters.

i bet you that they did take those things into account, using statistical techniques to take into account outliers etc.

Yeah, but it's not like 30% of the US citizens run around with 170cm and 250 pounds of muscle.

nothing is wrong. It definately corelates positively ;)

lol at Colorado
someone has to be fast-foodised

This piece of stats on Colorado is bullshit, they must have forgotten Cartman.

Gabe Newell raised average in Washington :(

lmao@raged americans

"boohoo! we do have culture!"

the redneck culture?

arent the rednecks what's left of european heritage in the US?

Yes. They managed to grind down the "European culture" to nothing in about 300 years \o/

actually I think they preserved european culture as it was a century or two ago which I dont consider as a bad thing

pizza > *

been to italy many times...

atmosphere, food, hotels... italy > *

:D

word!

..trash, mafia, berlusconi ;)

Still like the country very much though from a tourist's point of view

Some people take the 'food comments' too seriously. Lighten up guys.

It's the only thing worth commenting on in the interview :)

You dont like french food? Ok rapha, keep your "American way of fat"

LULMALAO do you ever stop raging? ROFLOL.

French food is shit, get over it.

I am corean but don't all the people in the world knows French food is the one of the best food in the world and people don't even know what americans eat other than hamburger. Americans are always getting jealous and angry at the fact that they have poor culture.

Kebabs, motherfuckers!!!

Thought you be more into curry.
