It'd be uncivilized to charge rent, when their insulin costs so much.

Murica bad.

No, America fat. Highest average daily caloric intake in the world, only second to Ireland. Nearly 12% of the population has diabetes. Heart disease runs rampant. It's a problem, and the denial is such a disservice, as well as the push for "size acceptance" and accomodation. The general normalization of obesity in America is astonishing.

Excuse me, I stand corrected.

Murica v. bad, Ireland worse.

This is the ramblings of a terminally online, never left their own country and maybe not even the city of their birth smooth brain genius.

I am terminally online, but I do travel quite a bit. I recommend it, it puts things into perspective. America fat as hell.

American here. 100% agree. We do be fat. Also, travel more is good advice
