Aren't you afraid the mouth breathers will bite you and turn you into a mouth breather?
I've studied these types for many years now. Their condition is not viral, but one that comes with poor self maintenance. I do not fear them, I merely try to understand them.

The business model in the UK is starting to become more Americanized sadly...however it still has a bit more job protections and paid leave compared to North America.
"It is a myth that globalization involves the imposition of Americanized uniformity, rather than an explosion of cultural exchange. For a start, many archetypal "American" products are not as all-American as they seem. Levi Strauss, a German immigrant, invented jeans by combining denim cloth (or "serge de Nîmes," because it was traditionally woven in the French town) with Genes, a style of trousers worn by Genoese sailors. So Levi’s jeans are in fact an American twist on a European hybrid. Even quintessentially American exports are often tailored to local tastes. MTV in Asia promotes Thai pop stars and plays rock music sung in Mandarin. CNN en Español offers a Latin American take on world news. McDonald’s sells beer in France, lamb in India, and chili in Mexico..."
Don't agree with that at all.nobody around the world knows about the origin of Levi's,all they know is that,it is an american product,with an american patent,sold by american companies so i don't see the point here.
I can cite many counter-examples where the products are not originally european but are produced and sold under a european flagship.
Take the world as it was in 1950 and compare how it is now, and you will see how almost every single country in the world has adopted many aspects of the American culture in the past 60 years.
The whole world watches American movies, American TV series, and listens to American music.
People in the whole world eat hot dogs and drink Coca Cola. Even in China.
It doesn't mean that the local cultures have disappeared, but there is no way to deny the strong American cultural influence in the whole world.
I agree with that and americans are not to blame for the americanization,you choose what you eat.
Tell me what you eat,i'll tell who you are,lol
"Chairman Kaga of the TV series "Iron Chef" which introduced to millions to his famous aphorism: "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are."
