you know i'm all for things revealing and seductive but i just can't shake the feeling that spandex capris seem like sweat pants for hookers.

i guess sometimes it's pulled off right and others i'm left wondering how much of a carpet is growing south of the border.

Wearing these fuzzy, winter UGG boots with short shorts...what's the deal with this? You're a walking contradiction. Are you cold, or hot? Or do you know?

This seems to be a trend here in Houston...a very annoying trend. Have some sense girls.

I'm not really bothered by the boots, what I want to know is what the F*CK is up with those socks?

Keira, you're a pretty girl, but stop wearing these outfits. You have no breasts.

Some of these hair fads get to me

1. Hair extensions
Sigh...yet another fake body part on the market. Why are these women paying for something that their body can do natually within 3 or 4 months? I'm terribly vexed.

2. Also featured in the photo, two tone hair color. Everytime I get my hair cut, I get harassed by some salon bimbo (that looks just like the woman pictured) to put some dark streaks or "lowlights" in my hair. In my opinion it looks like hell. Am I wrong?

I've got to agree with you there. I've never understood the appeal of having two tone hair myself. I did it once (because I tried to dye my hair black and this was the only way they could fix it...they said). It took forever for it to grow out and everytime I went to get my hair cut they would push me to get it touched up. Just wanted it out! It seems like it would be hard to maintain the look anyway, and costly. And for what? It doesn't even look natural.

Well it depends on kind of what population measure you're using.

If you're talking about ratio, then we're probably not number one but we'd likely be behind countries that are not even close to having as great of a population.

In terms of who just plain has the greatest quantity of fatties, I'm pretty sure it's us.

It's only a matter of time. I have faith in us to get the highest ratio before too long.

I thought America was already the most overweight country. It comes as a shock that it isn't :laughing: seriously I am surprised.

I'm not sure if America is the most obese nation in the world, but you guys sure rank pretty high.

Well, are the Americans the fattest bastards on earth, or not?
And if not, who is?

Obesity epidemic : the ten countries with the fattest people

Wasn't expecting that!

music_phantom13 11-06-2009 01:31 PM

Yeah, I thought we were a bunch of fatties. Well, we are, but I had no idea there were so many fat people in the Middle East. I hope I don't follow in the footsteps of my heritage :( I would hate being a fat person.

I thought Pacific Islands nations like Nauru or Vanuautu were some of the fattest

Guybrush 11-12-2009 07:04 AM

Looking at that page, what one should remember is that quite a few of the nations mentioned are relatively small, for example Bahrain with a population of 1.2 million people who are probably quite culturally alike are compared to a nation like USA which comprises over 300 million people and everywhere from really poor people to very rich people in very different cultures.

I'm sure if you split up America into different cultures or geographical regions and so on, you would find different groups of people that would vary a lot. Some of them would be tremendously fat I'm sure while others would probably be much thinner.

Also, the test seems to be for obesity rather than people being fat and although the correlation between fat and obese is probably quite similar across borders, if you only look at obesity, you could perhaps in theory have a country where 100% of the population is fat but they don't make the list because not enough of them are obese.

Furthermore, the guy who published it to his blog has done his own calculations. It's not scientific studies - or at least we don't know the sources for the data.

Fun, but think before you swallow it whole.

edit :

I argued that certain trends in big nations like America may not be well represented in such nation-wide statistics. Here's an example :

Quote:

The rates however are as high as 50% among African American women.
source : Epidemiology of obesity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ "International Obesity Task Force" (PDF). March 15 2005. http://ec.europa.eu/health/ph_determ...ts/iotf_en.pdf. Retrieved 2008-09-19.

Judging by that bit of info, afro-american women seem to blow those Quatar first-placers right out of the water.

lucifer_sam 11-12-2009 08:28 AM

...back on topic. anybody else think girls that wear their t-shirts like this might be trying a bit too hard?

http://tshirtwebsites.com/wp-content...07/08/milf.png

everything about that style just oozes promiscuity.

Guybrush 11-12-2009 09:05 AM

What about fancy cut beard? Ugh I hate that.

Having a beard is of course manly since traditionally beards are something only men grow. What's not so manly is frizzing and styling it like a prize poodle.

Also, shaving or even colouring stripes in your eyebrow(s). Not cool.

Especially girls that constantly pick the scabs off them all the time

stormjh 11-12-2009 12:09 PM

Tbh, I cant think of any piercings that make you look anything other than quite immature.

tdoc210 11-12-2009 02:30 PM

there are these shirts for girls that are very popular these days, they are billowy and make them look very unshapely and fat, very unattractive on girls that have shape. I dont know what to call it, its often worn with jeans and not a skirt.

It was more of a "my mum doesnt want me to get a piercing" when I was young, the choice I was faced with, was the nose, or the belly. I'm glad I never got a facial piercing.

edit: Although I don't have any chain like things hanging from it. Just a small silver bar.

Barnard17 11-12-2009 04:50 PM

You can still, you know, take it out.

FETCHER. 11-12-2009 04:57 PM

It would leave 2 holes...

Barnard17 11-12-2009 05:07 PM

They heal ;)

FETCHER. 11-12-2009 05:17 PM

And leave 2 indented holes, and I already have a rather medium sized scar which half gets hidden by it. It isn't going cause, I paid good money for it!! haha kidding, I take it out alot, for months at a time. It just always ends up going back in for a few months.

music_phantom13 11-12-2009 05:57 PM

I don't see what's so bad about belly button rings. Of course it's a personal preference thing, but I don't see how they could be viewed on the same level as those stupid bump-it hair things or whatever. To be honest I rather like them :o: Keep it!

bump it oh yeah.

iron9567 11-13-2009 01:09 PM

to me belly rings depend on the person. Some can pull it off while can't. But if you are like 300lbs you don't need it. Just like a 300lbs person don't need to be wearing tube tops or spaghetti strap shirts.lol
thanks

Gahhh, each one of them just have one of those punchable faces.

Imagine if you took the bottom ones eyebrows, the top ones stupid hair, the next ones zig zags and the next ones dodgy ear piercings and made one mega-cunt...

That seriously is enough to make me very nearly implode.

Urban Hat€monger ? 11-13-2009 07:00 PM

Tell you what, why don't you just tattoo 'I HAVE NO IMAGINATION' on your forehead instead.

The "Dump Seed Here" sign has become as prevalent as the stop sign these days.
