Don't let the existence of a vocal minority color your opinion of an entire nation. And yes... they are a minority. Sure, the majority consider themselves "Christian" or at least "believers", but the lunatic fringe is just that.

I don't let them colour it. I know just from being in NYC for 5 days that none of these asswipes represent any Americans I met. Everyone I spoke to was a god damn lib.

But they sure are vocal and visible.

I have to limit any television with politiics in it to almost absolute zero. The morning news will say a few things and that is the extent of what I see. Even then I'll start cursing at the television and calling people 'fucking idiots' which is when the wife reminds me to just not pay attention.

So, basically out of sight out of mind. It allows me to keep some semblance of sanity.

I'd say we're more unhealthy than fat. There are fat people, but they aren't the majority. Of course I might not see too many because they don't get out a lot.
