Guantanamo closure plan ordered

Not in a homosexual way like people like you might assume and hope for. More in a war of words type of way :shock:

Now you are backtracking. What about the PM you sent me, asking me to prepare myself with some KY jelly?
 
No, here it is:

I have better things to do than to listen to your lies and trolling.. I'm off to watch one episode of Jerry Springer instead. :mrgreen:

Ps. Your quote is obviously a lie. Americans have the fattest asses on the whole planet, but you probably know that better than me :rofl

You do realize that the graph you posted is based off of the BMI, which is an extremely flawed and archaic means of determining obesity?

Anyway, Merry Christmas.

When used on a whole population BMI gives a rather good impression. If used in for example the military its completely flawed, because military personnel tend to be in better general shape and have larger proportions of muscles as opposed to fat. But for the population in average, its quite a functional measure.
Take egypt for example, they rank the same as the US, but I can imagine that a higher proportion of those people with "obese" BMI in Egypt has it due to fat rather than muscles.
Yet, this does not justify even 5% difference, let alone the huge differences between the US at 30-40% obese and continental Europe at 10-20%. When I go to the UK for example I can clearly notice that people are fatter than in most European countries(perhaps except Belgium), and when I was in the US I could clearly notice far more fat and overweight people there as well... :duel


Anyways, happy holidays :)
 

I know its flawed when looking at individual cases, but in totality when measuring such a large number of people its a correct measurement.

Only the naked body in combination with eyes and perhaps some touching can determine if a person is really fat. there will be no "other method". BMI as "other measure" is as good as any will get.. Doctors in my country now measure the belly, but thats also flawed because of skeletal and muscular structure.
