Nope, a World Health Organisation report from a few years ago
(What else has all that Coca-Pepsi-Cola rotted?)

A UN organization extolling the virtues of British teeth?

Hmmm, why do you consider a denigration of America to be extolling the
virtues of the UK?

There is irony here.

There sure is, but I really don't think you understand what it really
is.



It's something that my dentist found amusing when he told me about the
report!

it would be more difficult to immigrate to Germany and become German, as
the condition of thousands of Turks there would illustrate. Not
impossible maybe, but more difficult certainly. I suspect the same is
true for France (Algerians), Italy (Albanians) and Britain.

Actually, since it is by region/nation in most cases, it can be quite
easy as an American to become a citizen elsewhere. Some places like
the U.K. and Ireland have more applicants than spaces, but for someplace
like Mexico or Japan - if you can speak the language and have a job
lined up, you can get in pretty easily.

It's all nonsense. Napoleon was actually English.


Now I must admit that my history skills are very poor, so could someone
just remind me of any war where the US won all on their own?


And started on time.

Interesting. That wasn't what I was trying to say though. I meant in a
social/cultural sense; It's easier to immigrate to the US and assimilate
into the culture- generally- than the aforementioned countries.


Oh. Yeah, that's largely correct as the U.S. has no real culture
other than what it smooshes together from all the oddballs
inhabiting it ;)

California? Last I heard they were bankrupt. But the thought of the
French creeping up behind me gives me the creeps.

The state government of California has a budget deficit but isn't quite
bankrupt (yet). A much different story of course is the state economy
which is huge (see below), had a rough year in 2003 but still managed to
grow (slightly):

1. United States $9,963 billion
2. Japan $4,614B
3. Germany $1,867B
4. Britain $1,415B
5. France $1,281B (Look out Britain!)
6. China $1,104B
7. Italy $1,054B
8. Canada $701B
9. Brazil $606B
10. Mexico $578B

California's GDP is $1,330B which surpassed France in 2000.

I think the one we all have to look out for there is China.
