Just because you join a gym doesn't mean you go to it.

“There were a total of 36,180 health clubs in the United States in 2015, an increase of over 5,500 on the figure from 2012”

“The average gym membership costs between $40 and $50 a month, but when you add the initiation fee, you’re looking at as much as $800 a year. ”

I thought the Chinese members on here said Americans are poor. Luckily we are rich enough we can throw $800 a year away without feeling a financial hit.

I wonder what percentage of Chinese citizens can throw $800/yr away on something they don’t use.

Throwing $800 away each year make Americans stupid not smart. A Chinese will invest that $800 and make it grow. But feel free to brag on PDF about American stupidity. If it's worth anything, Indians will always worship white Americans. So sorry Peter that isn't you .

That $800 is a lot for many people in China. 100’s of millions live on less than $8/day.

Did you even notice the number of health clubs the US has? Do you think it is all phantom memberships or something?

Hey if Indians and you Chinese want to worship us white Americans I have no problem with it. Almost everything you see as you walk your streets was invented by a white man and probably an American white man. Just remember whose inventions brought you out of your dark backwards world and into the modern world.

Thousands of years of your civilization eclipsed by the white man when it comes to moving your world (and the rest of the world) forward.

I asked for something invented by China in the last 20 years and all you guys could come up was the e-cigarette. Lol! Why am I not seeing much in my world invented by you guys? Both you and Indians have done nothing. So I have no issue treating both of you as equal do nothings.

Chinese worship Western customs and styles. From the neck down they look like any other Western person...as they flood the Apple Store.

How can they not feel a sense of shame when they look at the lightbulbs in their house, the electric sockets in their walls, their refrigerators, microwaves, computers, TVs, telephone, the elevator that takes them up to their apartment, the buses and cars on their roads, the planes flying above, and know it was a white man who brought them this. Sadly even the bicycles on their streets was a white man’s invention.

Chinese constantly yap about their long history. An I tell them we've contributed more to the world in our 200+ year history than they have in the past 2,000.

They generated stuff...just most of it was useless.

Why are they never doing stuff like this?

About a mile from my house is the University of Texas with a large student population of Indians / Pakistanis and some Chinese students. However I don't see any of them out fishing, camping or hunting - ever. I have yet to see a group of Indian students on jet skis. It's like the outdoor life is not what they are into. When I go off-roading on my Jeep, I never see an Indian / Asian dude. So ya, we are a fairly athletic bunch of people
