Why is there such a high % of fat people in 'Murica?
It's a cultural thing, honestly. We're generally pretty accepting of overweight people, so health is the only consequence of being overweight.

Why do all the liberals in America pretend that Fox news is evil/inaccurate when the same exact thing is true for all the liberal news shows like MSNBC too?
Why is your country stuck in this stupid mind set where everyone is either a democrat or a republican instead of forming their own ideas and not joining a particular group to think for them?
What are pop tarts?
1. Liberals don't really watch the news. Also the people who make fun of conservatives are a lot closer to the middle than the liberals on tv.
2. It's a common misconception that people are either democrats or republicans. We always form our opinions on our own and don't just pick between two options. Having two major parties just prevents people with similar opinions from voting for different candidates, which generally improves the quality of our elects.

In 10 days time I'm heading to Florida, can you explain your money system; dime, nickel and all that.
A quarter is self explanatory, but dime and nickel aren't.
I live in Florida! Where are you going?
Basically a dollar is made of 100 cents. Different coins are worth a different number of cents. Pennies are 1, nickels are 5, dimes are 10, and quarters are 25.

Last time I was in Florida I bought a couple of CD's by sonic youth, any suggestions for this time?
A lot of record stores just stock records by tier 4 and tier 3 bands, and I usually only listen to tiers 1 and 2. Incubus is a good tier 4 band I guess.
Forgot Dg's poptart question:
It's a thin pastry filled with frosting or jelly. You're supposed to put it in your toaster. They're not very good

What is with your tipping culture? Why can't you just pay waiters etc an actual decent wage instead of mandatory tipping? The only time I've tipped it was hotel staff because the room was gross and I felt sorry for them having to clean it up.
We like to pay people for doing a good job. You should tip anyone who does anything for you.
Paying higher wages and eliminating tips for service jobs would make it a lot harder to evaluate which employees perform the best (or are the most attractive tbh).

Doesn't this help the already well off owners make more money (by paying low wages) to the detriment of the much less well off waiters?

Also, why is underage drinking a sport in America, is it considered 'cool'?
Yeah, some people do consider it cool, but people mostly drink cuz it's fun.
