Disabilities can mean many things, I think you are reading too deeply into the meaning of the word. People who are a little retarded and old people who cannot do much for themselves anymore or are still active but feeling the signs of old age can all be labeled disabled. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
George Bush is disabled :P The USA: the county made by great people, but spoilt by the few. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
disabled includes having any disorder right? well, ADD would count then, and that is huge. also, anyone who has been injured, in car accidents, fires, and other ways.............. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I would class all Americans to be disabled in one way or another =P | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Shut up. I'm probablly smarter then you so shut up right now. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
dont forget being overweight is classed as a disability.... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I don't think so, otherwise the number would be huge (no pun intended) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
dont forget being overweight is classed as a disability.... Are you kidding me!?!? that would mean 99% of americans are disabled... no wait... that sounds just about right ;p | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Only being grossly overweight is considered a disability, though. So much that it impairs the ability to move around on one's own. Sometimes it's because of a medical problem, but when I see people so fat they have to move around in a cart with enough food to feed a dozen kids for a month, I can't always believe that is the case oO | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
People like you disgust me Vodka, I think I'm moving back into international withdrawal. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
i agree with sighart msot people are not overweight. the people that i do know that are overweight are not very over weight sjut slightly. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
but statistically you are the fattest nation in the world per 1000 people; closely followed by us, the UK :P | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There are currently 1.6 billion overweight adults in the world, according to the World Health Organization. That number is projected to grow by 40% over the next 10 years. The following list reflects the percentage of overweight adults aged 15 and over. These are individuals who have individual body mass indexes, which measures weight relative to height, greater than or equal to 25. Obese is defined as having a BMI greater than or equal to 30.

Cook Islands? Micronesia? dont they have like 3 people living on them anyway :P and Samoa/Tonga and i think Nauru are the south pasific islands around austrailia and they are like all grown to be fat. im surprised UK isnt in there... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
like sigheart and Killerstone siad most the people I know arent overweight and if they are its just a little overweight not much however their are a few cases for people who just dont know what exercise is or what outside is but its better than being underweight to skin and bones
oh and the US isnt the fattest nation yea yeah yea | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Why is it 15 year olds count as adults when measuring something that makes the country look bad but in every other aspect they are labelled kids. They can't do anything an adult can do legally.... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The test was done this day because people who are 15 will soon be considered adults, and this makes the test fairly valid for the next few years... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Disablitys also inclued Depression, and depression is common in every country everywhere you go. The only difference is in America you have to have a phyciatrist (Or so I've heard). It's like going to the doctors, your not ill till you go there your just unwell. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
the solution to depression is going to live with a small primitive people. No stress, only catching your food, building a hut every now and then and just having fun ;-) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
whether you are very overweight or just slightly overweight, as soon as your BMI passes 25 your risk of heart attacks etc increase dramatically. being 20 pounds overweight is not good. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
whaaaaa!?!? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
