Those ought to be washed separately in a bucket of hot, sudsy water with bleach! The first picture in this thread reflects ha's attitude about Americans, as if all or most American women looked that way.

The first picture in this thread reflects ha's attitude about Americans, as if all or most American women looked that way. I have to agree, based on personal observation, that Americans (not just women) are on average far overweight compared with people in other countries (not Europe in particular). I always noticed this when arriving back in the United States after some weeks in another country; it was startling to see such a difference. I believe this may have a bearing on our health care crisis too. inatent

If you look at the picture you will notice what they eating and wearing. Sexy lady is obviously quite a bit more well to do...wearing nicer clothes and eating expensive food. Many people in lower socio-economic groups are obese for various reasons. It tends to run in cylces within a family and it's very difficult to get out of once born in to such a cycle...it can be done...but usually with God given talents and abilities. But now if you want to compare people with in the same "class" go ahead! I sometimes shop at a mall in a ritzy area and often marvel and how skinny the women are...it's amazing and urghh depressing...and I'm quite fit...but not like these ladies!

Yes, my observation supports this for the United States, but it is not true in other countries I have visited. We have access to too much junk food in this country, and people are fooled (by advertising perhaps) into thinking they can save money by eating junk, when the reverse is true. inatent

Bof ! All european women do not look like that either. That's for sure! Oh sure, you are free to enjoy having yet another laugh at some American's. As you may already realize, McDonald's and similar fast food restaurants are not limited to the US. The lady across from the overweight one looks at least as slim as the European lady. What is in the basket besides wine?

Hmmmm... E. coli in the wash machine from thongs? How about from the skid stains on some guy's whitey tighties? Or on any other underwear, for that matter. How do thongs make it any worse than that? I did a search for "e coli thong" on Google, and the only thing that came up about e. coli and thongs was that the strap going up the crack can also more easily transfer rectal bacteria to the vag-ina (separated for the auto-censoring of the message board). That's it. And I tried throwing in "washing machine" in the search... all I got was even more vague hits. And I tried various combinations of the search words... nothing but vague, paranoid references to how the washing machine can make you sick by the e. coli that can come from underwear and how you should spray the inside of the washing machine with disinfectant and blah blah blah. So, I can safely say that the claim about the danger of thongs leaving e. coli in the washer is as good as saying that we should all live in hourly-sanitized bubbles. The paranoid sanitary world we live in makes me sicker than the "dirty", unsanitized world of the way I live. andy

Good point, I thought about that after posting. That's a good reason not to wear them. Wearing panties with more coverage protects outer clothing better.

That's it. Andy, I found info on this, and it is true -- The search should contain something like fecal matter and washing machine, or some such combination. It doesn't mention "thongs" per se, but there are references to underwear/fecal matter and E-Coli in washing machines. Plus, I did hear this on the news at some point last year, I think. Since "thongs" are "underwear" (cough, cough), and since the strap definitely has an easier way to come into contact with fecal matter (ewwwwwww!!!) -- it stands to logical reason that this particular "type" of (pseudo)-underwear would definitely be culpable in leaving traces of e-coli in the washing machine. According to a report done by ABC, there are ways this can be combatted: * Laundromat washing machine: The trace of E. coli from the last guy’s BVDs won’t survive bleach, so wash your whites first. But even if you use cold water and no bleach, 20 minutes in a hot dryer will kill the bugs.Maybe it's cause I'm a "gal", but thongs are one of the most un-sexy pieces of "clothing", imo -- even on a man! Grosssssss . . . To me, it's more appealing to leave a little bit of mystery, instead of throwing everything out in the open for all to see -- I'm sure others may disagree, but that's just me

What you eat shows up on your body.
What you read and believe in shows up in your posts.
You have to take some distance and look things from a different angle to understand the position of others - if you want a democratic discussion.

The difference in the first picture?
Uhh, they are both wearing thongs, and might appear that they both dye their hair. They both enjoy the outdoors, and both are taking a break sitting. And they are both wearing clothes they feel comfy in.
Although the Euorpean may seem more "foxy" than the American woman, she is appearing a bit more "pick me up" than the American woman. Perhaps she isn't as secure in who she is as the American. Who knows?
We really can't judge a book by its cover (or by its thong) lol
But I did notice that the American woman has a couple of friends with her. The European woman is by herself.
Thats what I noticed.

I never could understand why we try to sanitize everything around us and then, in the name of preventing disease, we insert a little of the virus that causes it into our blood veins. inatent Growing up, a number of my peers had polio. My parents worried that their childrem would get it. I didn't have to worry that my children would get it. When is the last time you saw a child in leg braces because of polio? Smallpox, as late as 1967, killed 25% of the people who caught the disease. At the time 60% of the world's population was threatened. Historically 90% of blindness was due to smallpox. The death rate was so high that in some ancient cultures children were not named until after they had smallpox and had proven they could survive. When was the last time you heard of a smallpox outbreak? Once a common and dreaded disease with a high mortality rate; Diphtheria is now rare in countries where infants are vaccinated. Whooping cough with its side effects of pneumonia, asphyxia, convulsions, and brain damage was especialy damaging to children under 4. There are many other diseases that have become all but unknown because of vaccinations. The link between MMR and autism was often raised as a reason not to have children vaccinated but the researchers who published the original study that supported this now reject it and have withdrawn it. Autism now appears to be one disorder on a spectrum that includes Asperger's syndrome and PDD (pervasive developmental disorder) that are genetically linked.
