A few interesting facts about America and Americans

Someone sincerely hates Americans, someone admires the country with a developed democracy. Whatever it was, but the United States - by far a great country with a developed economy and modern technologies in various fields. Do not take this impossible.

As in any country, the United States has its own characteristics, mentality and even strangeness, which can not be found in any other country. Who has not heard of some absurd laws are taking place in different states? However, today it is not about laws but about some interesting facts from the lives of Americans. You can dial those hundreds, I will cite only a few.

For example the United States, a country on the streets of the cities where you can see the state flag is greater than in any country. Flags everywhere.

Obesity. Perhaps this evil threatens Native Americans are now more than terrorism. Just think: one in three people in the US are obese! It's horrible…

However, this problem begins to disturb and other countries. And there is, of course, in the more affluent segments of the population:

America - a rich country. A Kenya, for example - poor. For comparison, one American consumes as much resource as 32 Kenyan. Where sravedlivost?

And here's another interesting fact: in Montana cats live three times more than men.

Company MkDonalds as "big and wide" in the United States, that it at least one day, but worked every eight Americans.

America is rich, but there are paradoxes. Fixed capital, as expected, concentrated in private "hands." For example: from the well known company Apple has more money than the US Treasury.

Perhaps the most paradoxical for a country that so values its flag and independence: the US has no official language. Informal - English (let's be more precise - its American version).

America is multinational and hence there are many adherents of different religions. But what is interesting: a quarter of Americans believe in reincarnation - rebirth of the soul in the body of the newborn.

Also an interesting fact: in the state of Virginia (Virginia) were born more than all the US presidents.

On the rich and poor in the United States: if you pocket $ 10 and you do not owe anything to anyone, you are richer than 25% of Americans. Amusing, is not it?

I brought only ten examples of the interesting facts about the United States. The list can be continued, but the opportunity I offer to carry my readers in the comments.
