syd syside Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 The medical journal The Lancet ranked 122 countries based on inactivity. Quote A massive 63.3 per cent of the UK population was found to be inactive, making it the eighth laziest country out of the 122 ranked. Britain has been classed as one of the laziest countries in the world (Pic: Thinkstock) Meanwhile, Greece was seen to be the least lazy country in the study, with just 15 per cent of its people being inactive, the Daily Mail reports. Across the pond, the US is a lot less lazy than Brits may believe, coming 46th laziest. People were classed as inactive if they did not get around 2.5 hours of moderate activity per week. Malta was given the top spot for idleness, with 71.9 per cent of citizens classed as inactive, with Swaziland (69 per cent) and Saudi Arabia (68.8 per cent) rounding out the top three. The top 20 laziest countries are: 1) Malta 2)Swaziland 3)Saudi Arabia 4)Serbia 5)Argentina 6)Micronesia 7)Kuwait 8)Great Britain 9)United Arab Emirates 10)Malaysia 11)Japan 12)Dominican Republic 13)Namibia 14)Iraq 15)Turkey 16)Cyprus 17)Italy 18)Ireland 19)South Africa 20)Bhutan The U.S ranked 46th and Greece was last. Who knows how accurate this is, but the potential false correlation that Greece's financial woes = laziest, when they are apparently least lazy, is interesting. http://www.metro.co....aturing-britain Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide syd syside's signature Hide all signatures " Last law bearing means that any reformer or Prophet will be a subordinate of the Holy Prophet (saw) and no new Messenger and Prophet with a new religion, book or decree will come after him.

SR4 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 we are probably less lazy because we have a retarded sense of work ethic, even if its completely destructive to a healthy lifestyle.

lumpenprol Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 can't be arsed to read and stuff, but is laziest defined by productivity, lack of employment, or truly just "sitting around on your arse"? Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide lumpenprol's signature Hide all signatures After this I listened to geogaddi and I didn't like it, I was quite vomitting at some tracks, I realized they were too crazy for my ears, they took too much acid to play music I stupidly thought (cliché of psyché music) But I knew this album was a kind of big forest where I just wasn't able to go inside. - lost cloud I was in US tjis summer, and eat in KFC. FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

syd syside Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm starting to think this survey is a bunch of crap... but I think it measured physical activity... so places that have shit weather and stuff are gonna have more inactive people cause who's gonna go joggin in 5 feet of snow etc.. also cites women in Saudi Arabia as an example because women don't typically work as much. You'd think America being the most overweight nation would = laziest in that regard, but I think health problems in America deal more with our diet than how much we work out.

Rubin Farr Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Saudi should be higher, they are beyond lazy. Everything stops 5 times a day for prayer, sometimes people don't even go back to work, and prayer time can stretch for a couple hours w transportation, foot washing, an after prayer cigarette, etc etc. They import immigrant labor for anything remotely demeaning or manual. Very racist as well.
