A lot of Japanese are getting like that now too. After the Wars Japan and Korea had a shift in the types of food the common person was able to eat (partly the massive US Aid, and partly the economic prosperity of the two nations), meats other than fish became more common. The increase in protean and over all balanced nutrition caused height changes.

Funny now is the American diet is so bad we are shrinking.

Yea I'm aware of the Japanese getting taller now I mean much taller than their stumpy predecessors. I think it's most obviously seen in their national soccer team.

Hopefully now we will be invaded and conquered by a country that can impose a working government.

I was hoping for Canada.

Maybe they will divide the country on the Mason Dixon line. North or the Canadians south to the Mexicans.

Personally I believe living in a country which is not among world's major powers but which is well developed is far more advantageous than living in a major world power or underdeveloped country.

The reason for underdeveloped country is just that underdeveloped politically, democratically, ethically, socially and economically.

As the reason for not living in major world power is over population, lower education standard, prone to corruption and abuse of state power and state apparatus by people in power because they are more prone to be deluded by power syndrome in world power nation, over heated political climate, etc

The best is to live in developed yet not a major world power country such as Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland and Canada .
So that people could actually live feeling appreciated and respected instead feeling like mere resources and or commodity, get good and affordable education, enjoy a relatively clean government and enjoy higher quality of living due to lower population density(less hectic lifestyle, lower crime rate, decent pay).

I also believe people need to get their bearing once in a while by getting close to nature.
I strongly believe people who are closer to nature behave and feel better about themselves. nature can give you a sense of humility and vulnerability which are very effective in checking people's ego. Urban living can make the worst kind of people if those people forget or neglect to get back in nature periodically(essentially making them a predator to their fellow man in varying degree). I also believe people with behavior and attitude problem could be made better people with some time spent close to the nature in small number of group of people(the less civilization the better).
Thus I just concluded that with regard to the above opinion which I hold prison actually makes a criminal to get worse! Especially if it's located in city or urban area, and over populated which is a relative that made every prison is always is

My two cents anyway.
