    Most Americans can't run 400m much less do anything you just posted. Tough people who can cope with hardships? Most Americans can't get control of there own bodies and waddle around crushing there organs under fat and diabetes.

    Most Americans do not take care of there bodies mentally or physically. No attempt is made to learn or excersise simply to wallow.

    The fact you actually belive the above post is sad not surprising but sad none the less.
    And I thought that was just stereotypes!

    You don't know the half of it son. The real kick in the nuts though, is that most still strut around brimming (weezing?) with confidence.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I'm afraid I resent this. Peasants are great. They have nice ruddy cheeks and quaint blood feuds. Europe, which as we all know is the pinnacle of civilisation and social progress, is itself based on the ruddy cheeked fellows. Where else do the two pillars of society (cheese and a petty mindset) originate from?

    So it would seem that the French in average are in matter of fact taller then Americans. I wonder what stereotype we should debunk next?

    Actually considering this is over a population of millions with good statistical data, 1.1 cm is a *lot*... It suggests that the French are a lot healthier than the Americans (length is roughly a function of health, especially during childhood) with access to far superior food and living conditions.

    If you Europeans knew anything you'd know that length isn't nearly as important as girth, and we have you at that!


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    I refuse to live in a world where Dutch are the tallest. Obviously Serbia is missing from the list, our average height is 198.8 cm

    Well of course, if you measure it in centimeters

    Actually I did think about posting statistics about alcohol and tobacco consumption but why bore people with lots of numbers and stuff... But it would show that only a few European nations smoke more than the Russians and that even the Finns would be envious of the Russian alcohol consumption. I guess the Russian average age for males that has recently been lowered to 62, or was it even down to 60, is a symptom of being strong or something...

    Also I don't understand the obsession with physical strength in a "sustained war". For conventional wars it is either a short war, where what you have right here and now that matters, or it is a long one where population size and industrial output that matters.
