I dont think i needed to tell you....
the US government has been analyzing data it researched asking the question 'are americans normal'
the conclusion saw that 80% of americans are 'abnormal' 9% suffered from mood or depression problems, while 11% have a anxeity disorder. Quote:
the study showed only 4.2 million americans are deemed normal. source: thebentinel.com http://www.thebentinel.com/040803-mo...-abnormal.html :disturbd: |

About time we had some official statement along these lines... I have met a large number of americans, and, although I consider some of them as good friends, I have to say the vast majority were, in some way, paranoid. Unfortunately, this probably means that 80% of the US soldiers are abnormal, and that is really scary :Yikes: |

how are 88% of Americans abnormal? what are their abnormalities? I believe it is drastically unfair for one to call another individiual 'abnormal'. we all see normal as what WE, personally see normal. We all see abnormalities in our own minds in our own unique ways. It is unfair for one to say people are not normal, and you can not declare that as an official record, seeing as it does not include different individuals' opinions. We cannot be led to beleive this by some 'Government study' |
Re: I dont think i needed to tell you....
Doesn't that mean 88% of Americans are normal and 12% are not? Normal is derived from norm, and in statistics you can hardly call 12% the norm...

Re: I dont think i needed to tell you....
By definition normal means average. Thus the research has been carried out from the wrong viewpoint of what normal is :confused:
On the other hand maybe this explains why americans have so much therapy. |
Re: I dont think i needed to tell you....
I think personally it as abnormal for a government to conduct such a study on the very people it governs

Re: I dont think i needed to tell you....
Personally I've always had the impression for the yanks I've met and talked to, that they have a complex compaired to you're average European. While it would be unfair to say the majority of americans are abnormal, I would certainly say that compaired to the average European they are 'insecure'. Perhaps this comes from being a young 'mongrel' nation, but their need to walk about making huge displays smacks of insecurity.
PS, Sorry if this post dont make much sense, but I'm having problems translating thoughts into coherent sentences today. :disturbd: |
