Fat american

God bless the USA - and delete this rant --Doc (?) 22:49, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• We already have Ugly American. Delete. Fire Star 22:51, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, for now. Americans are, by and large, fat, and this sounds like a real slur. Also, people who write lame pseudo-Christian shit like "God bless the USA" are... personal attack removed. (anonymous comment by User:Stiegl).
  • I was being semi-ironic - but you are just being plain ignorant --Doc (?) 23:25, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Doc, I think he just insulted you. PERSONAL ATTACK ALERT! Nestea 01:23, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• comment: could be real. Americans are quite fat. Perhaps someone could verify. Budovice 23:34, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• As a fat American, I demand equal time for fat Canadians, fat Mexicans, and fat people from whatever other countries there are in the world. Either that, or Delete this POV rant. (Oh, and indeed, $DEITY bless the USA.) AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 00:26, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete content, then maybe redirect to Ugly American. -- BD2412 ^talk 00:44, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)
• Delete rant nonsense. You don't see me writing an article on how annoying the French are... ;P --Etacar11 01:09, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• America could sure use some blessings, but delete. --Tydaj 01:30, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm an American, and I've never heard this. The article doesn't seem to follow NPOV very well. --Idont Havaname 02:35, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Perhaps because you are an American, that you've never heard of it. 132.205.44.134 16:40, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete POV rant --Chill Pill Bill 02:52, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete rant. Sjakkalle 07:01, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• CLEANUP rant; I've heard of this term, but AFAIR, it means the gluttonous American who uses disproportionate amount of resources, and has obvious displays of avarice and gluttony, without a care for the needy of the world, or environment, etc. who claims that it is their fair share that they are using, and that the fair share for say India, is much smaller per capita (this is either because of a per nation POV or a per acre POV, instead of a per capita POV, if said American were blameless) (most obvious example: Anti-Kyoto accord ads in the US saying it's not fair that the US has to reduce greenhouse emissions while China does not, and that China will have more emissions that the US... fair if looked at from a per acre or per nation POV, unfair if looked at a per capita POV. Since the US is a "great bastion of democracy", the per capita POV should be the most appropriate one) 132.205.44.134 16:40, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
