Guess what the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia have in common?

because rocks said they're fat & lazy....like the uk

That isn't what I said. I said people in MS and AL are far more lazy and fat. I said there must be a lot more active people outside of my region to compensate. Do you have problems reading or are you just trying to stir the pot because you have nothing better to do?

Yes, and I said I found it hard to believe.

I find your incredulousness to be revealing of your biases. Two similar claims, one you jump on and clap your hands with glee.... the other you find hard to believe. Why?

Eh, let's not go there. Everyone knows why.

yes it is.

Why so bitter? People in MS and AL are lazy and fat. Come see for yourself.

[rocks 494]

yes it is.

There must be a lot of highly active people outside of the area I live in. People don't even walk their dogs here.

Perhaps if you tried reading instead of being a know-it-all who doesn't know anything.

i did read it. maybe you should own your words and not resort to personal attacks when called on them.

Clearly you didn't or you would have known what I was talking about. Let me break it down for you so that you can fully understand what happened. The only personal attacks were from you.

I find it hard to believe this. In the UK you can't pay your power bill at a drive thru, there are no drive thru pharmacies etc.

Cover your ears, go la-la-la. Maybe that will make The Economist a liar.

But probably not.

There must be a lot of highly active people outside of the area I live in. People don't even walk their dogs here.

If a similar study was done at the US states level and Mississippi and Alabama turned out to be our UK... there would be no shortage of liberal sanctimony on fried foods and diabetes and obesity and much hand wringing on the issue of poverty.

But this paints the UK in a bad light so... it must just be wrong.

Yeah.

Why so bitter? People in MS and AL are lazy and fat. Come see for yourself.

Apparently, people in the UK are lazy too. Unless The Economist (a british publication) is lying.

Yes, and I said I found it hard to believe... You do understand that doesn't mean I'm saying it is false, right?

Let me know if you're still having problems understanding this.

It has nothing to do with bias and everything to do with experience. Have you lived in the UK? Have you also lived in MS/AL? You seem to be the biased one.
